1 That Battle Ground Again.
Recently there appeared in the columns
of thia paper an article urging
that steps be taken to further mark
the battle-field of Camden. We later
wrote an article in favor of it, as we
were entirely in sympathy with the
- huggestion. Meeting many strangers
from all parts of the country who
seek information and are eager to
visit the spot, has shown us the importance
of the matter, for we well
know that disappointment awaits
their enthusiastic pilgrimage. Alas!
where is the Bhrine? True the battle
, was not an American victory?and
was a terrible disaster to the cause?
but we must not forget -the brave
Continentals under DeKalb. Enough
of them survived to rally to the
standard of Guilford, Hobkirk and
Kutaw and were among those who
at laet drove the British from the
' Carolina*. We can at>'least rejoice
that we had DeKalb and the invincible*
of Maryland and Delaware. W*1
publish below a telegram received
by a citizen of Camden from the Hon.
- W. F. Stevenson: i
"House of Representatives, Washington,
D. C., June 18, 1986. Dear
Sir: Replying to yours of the 4th
instant, I will say that I will gladly
do what I can to make the Battle
Ground near Camden a National
Park. Am working on this matter
at this time and in due time I hope
to get it through. Glad to hear from
you on matters in which you are interested
and whenever I can be of
service let me know."

chair 'factory, on his way to
work, discovered the blaze and spread
the alarm. All prisoners were in the
cell bloek and guards', at the time the
Are was discovered, were on their
way to turn out the cooks to prepare

temporary condition of low water
pressure, however, hindered their efforts
and it was not unlit H|e Cohim
bia Are department apparatus arrived

be thrown. Despite the Are being
/close by, the prisoners in the cell
block conducted themselves in an ad- 4
mirable manner. A. M. Scarborough,,
superintendent of the institution, said
yesterday. No trouble whatever was
experienced with those locked in, and
