For all that ho knows, the I ancient tield piece remains there to this day. Mr. Sill grew to manhood in a sec tion where there was hard and fre quent lighting during the War for American Independence. He lived on the old Salisbury road, betAveen Lan caster and Camden. The earthen da\n of Rugely's mills, he says, Is still stand ing, about 12 miles from Camden. Two miles nearer t hr Kershaw county seat, he says, is the pla^e, once known as Parker's old tield, where fell the Raron DeKalb. "I was 1 4 ?1 ? 1 a>- a boy," Mr. Sill said yesterday, "that the obi gun on Table rook had lain rusting there since the Revolutionary w:ir." ? Wednesday's Co lumbia St:i te. News From Timrod.
