Mackin, rectop of St. Mary's- Catholic Church, in this city, is practically a ne(v^C5rher to Camden, but there is no greater booster for Camden than this gentleman. | In the September 24 .iaeUe of The Bulletin, the official organ of the ,Catholic Laymen's Association of Georgia, appeared a picture of Stt Mdry's Church and the following in reference to the Church^and Camden: There nestles in the pines ofGapiden, South Carolina, the Church of St. Mary's, of Perpetual Succour. For years Catholic tourists have been enjoying the rather rare combination of a very beautiful Catholic Chufech in what, to Northern folk, i^a snlfcU Southern city.
