== COMMUNITY== Dark Corner gained a reputation of lawless, feuding, murdering moonshiners. People also assumed them to be ignorant and heathen. This was far from true. They were church-going religious people who valued education, and started schools in the mountains very early. In 1858, Earle Seminary (commonly called Gowensville Seminary) started to train preachers. In 1892, residents asked the Baptist Association to start a school. They created North Greenville High School, soon to become North Greenville Baptist Academy. They called their yearbook The Moonshiner, reflecting a complex relationship between religion, law, and distillation (you can see our copy of the 1924 yearbook by the still). Today, it has become North Greenville University.
