     Find yourself whistling Dixie while you daydream? If so, then it might be time to start planning a move to South Carolina. Chances are life in South Carolina moves slower, more leisurely, than just about any place you could come from. Though some parts of the state - like Myrtle Beach - are weighted down with t-shirt and postcard shops, much of South Carolina is still comfortable with its own tendencies towards tradition and timelessness. On the back roads of South Carolina's muggy coastal plain, it's not uncommon to see fields of tobacco, cotton and rice being grown in mostly the same way they have for centuries. It's not uncommon to see streams and swamps of slow-moving South Carolina black water - the tea color comes from the rich organic mud at the bottom.

     Of course South Carolina has cities too, like anywhere else. Places like Spartanburg and Columbia have only been getting bigger over the past few years, as South Carolina's population has swelled. But even in Charleston, one of South Carolina's biggest cities, you don't have to stroll more than a couple blocks from downtown to find yourself eyeball-to-portico with 18th century mansions and antebellum plantation homes.

     Now that you're moving to South Carolina, there are a couple facts you'll want to keep in mind:

• South Carolina's population is 4,012,012. South Carolina's state capital is Columbia.
• Trumping Georgia, South Carolina is the largest peach producer east of the Mississippi.
• South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union in 1861. The first battle of the Civil War took place in Charleston Harbor.
• During the 1920s America was dancing to a new step called "the Big Apple"; it was invented in Columbia, South Carolina.
• South Carolina loves golf; there are more than 300 public and private courses in the state. In fact, golf came to South Carolina before it came to the rest of America. The first golf association in the country was formed in the state in 1786.
• If you're moving to South Carolina with a horse, make sure you rent a place with enough space. South Carolina law prohibits keeping horses in bathtubs.
