Hamer and Sellers are stations on the Florence Railroad. The first was named for R. P Hamer, Jr., who resides there and owns the adjacent lands. It is on the east side of Little Pee Dee, in Carmichael Township, in the midst of a thriving section of the county, and large shipments of cotton and other farm products are sent from that point, and much guano is shipped to the station for the surrounding farmers.

There is one store and a ginnery, both operated by R. P Hamer, Jr., who is one of the most extensive farmers in the county. A few years ago, he was planting 900 acres in cotton.
