Prior to the Civil war there in- j was a large camping ground connectis, I ed with it where .great camp meetnd ings were annually held. In its connt! gregations were the wealthy, refined on | and cultured of that day. lis, Five miles a^ove King's chapel was I Harmony Protestant Methodist church d-! and three miles up the road from es J that point and a mile east of the main of i road was Mount Bethel, one of the a-! most famous camping grounds in the n-! Piedmont belt. There the wealthy its! planters assembled during the week he embracing the second Sunday in Augro ust, with a great company of cooks, ok waiting maids and coachmen. Open ee house was kept in every tent. Feasthol ing was the order of the day. The ;r- clans gathered from the two lower sejchurches with friends from Cokesill i bury, Greenville and all the surroundts Ing country and worshipped God and is- feasted ton the fat of the land. Beh tween services and feasting social converse held high carnival, but the [>n pleasures of social life were never aler lowed to conflict with the hours of 11- worship. Great preachers attended, it among whom I recall Dr. McSwain, tss Dr. Fleming, ;R. D.

I can see him yet standout ing in the pplpifc. I must have been jd quite small for the only thing he said ze that I remember was a frequent repeje tition of the phrase, "I fancy, my breil thren." I presume I -was too young to th take in his discourse, but it was the an first time I ever heard "I fancy" and as I sh$ll carry that much of the old h-~ preacher's sermon to my grave, rs, Mount Bethel was the church of rs, the Souths, Pools, Sullivans, McCulI loughs, Gambrejls, Epps, Gilkysons op and Woods, They were a great peole pie.
