[PEOPLE PLA' CAROLINA I Cam Chances are a great many USC students will be heading off to Camden this weekend not to tour the historic points but to 1 "watch" the Carolina Cup, which, as every year, is being held at the Springdale race course in Camden. But, before you strap cxi your ties and adjust your hats, take note of Camden's historic connections, rather than its manure connections. How To Get There: Take 321 north to Camden A Little history foryou... t Camden was established in 1732 and ' takes the cake as the oldest inland city in South Carolina. Located in the Old ( English district of South Carolina, Cam- ( den still retains some English ties. Maybe , that is because originally it was the ma- ( ]or British garrison of Lord Comwallis. f Although you may think that all Cam- ^ den is known for is the Carolina Cup, think again. The Battles of Hobkirk Camden were fought in the vicinity, and 12 ) other Revolutionary War battles took place nearby. The Camden Revolutionary War Site is located on U.S. 521 north of I-20. The t War park is associated with National Park ( Service, and the park is located on a 92- v acre site. Restorations hciude fort sites,log ? cabins and 18th and 19th century homes,including the Kershaw-Comwal- < lis House, where Comwallis made his >i riwauquariwrs. i nere is aisu an exuung slide show that details the town's story, c and there is an equally exciting model of ? the original 80-building village based on y maps used by patriot General Nathaniel Greene. The park includes a nature tail, wooded picnic area and craft shop. s So you know about the history, but what do you wear to the Cup? v C For lades" wear a springy style dress, p Staff writer Lucy Arnold, a cup veteran, recommends a hat.

The play 2 comes to life the moment Williams appears on stage in his red shirt, white ? shirt and blue jeans (symbolic of Amer9 ican patriotism). His acting role is just the right mixture of ingredients: from ? his wide eyes and flexible movement f to the conviction of talent.
