Camden Man Receive$
Medal From Carnegie
W. Eugene Lenoir, of Camden, who
is now visiting in Charleston, received
a Carnegie medal Saturday In
recognition of saving Ruth G. McAuliffe
from drowning on Sullivan'*
Island, September 3, 1U24, according
to a news story appearing in the
Charleston News and Courier of Sunday
last.
M*. Lenoir, a world war veteran,
a member of the faptous thirtieth
division, 114 machine gun battalion,
Performed his feat in spite of physical
handicaps and against the repeated
warnings of friends who believed
that rescue of <Miss McAaliflfe
and a young girl companion was
impossible.
He had been gassed in the war and
had not recqvered. The cry that two
young girls were being swept out to
sea on an ebb tide arose while Mr.
Lenoir was in a house some distance
from the beach. However, he immediately
rushed to the scene and entered
the water despite strong re-'
sistance from friends who knew his
condition.
After reaching the girls, quite a
distance from shore, he succeeded in
holding -them nbbve wathr arid preventing
them from being swept
' farther from shore until a boat arrived
from the bq$eh.
^^-Hon't bother about me," he told
j the other rescuers. "Save the girls
first."
Near a collapse at the time, he
was unconscious when he reached
shore and- was believed to have been
drowned. Word reached Charleston
? .that, he had succumbed in. the rescueHowever,
two hours of patVnt work
on the part of the post physician froiu
nearby Fort Moultrie revived him.
.Mr. Ldnoir is now staying with his
sister, Mrs. Edwin H. Kerrison, at
her Charleston home in tSt. Andrew's
parish.
Prior to this rescue, Mr. Lenoir had
saved two children from drowning in
a mill pond on his father's plantation
near Camden. He had served on the
Mexican border * before going to
France.
His award, however, takes into
consideration only the rescue of Miss
McAuliffe, no mention being made of
the other girl he saved.
Lenoir's name and his deed are inscribed
on one side of the gold medal,
-on the border of which is engraved
the Biblical phrase: "Greater love
hath no man than this,' that a man
lay down his life for his friend."
On the reverse is a bas-relief of
Andrew Carnegie and inscriptions,
of the CJarnegie Hero fund. "
Gave Pleasing Entertainment
"<.";A large and appreciative audience
of friends enjoyed the program given
-by-the-Juntor~and--Senior -Girls' Glee
Clubs of Browning Home and Mather
Academy in the chapel of Browning
Home last Sunday evening. The
groups of spirituals rendered by the
girls showed effort and careful
training. Two of the girls also gave
readings in a pleasing .manner.
Miss Marguerite MoorEf, superintendent
of Browning Home, gave an interesting
sketch of the worlc being accomplished
with the students of the
Academy and Home. The offering
taken at the close has been added to
the furnishing ftind of the new
Browning Home* .

poured into Sharon today to see the
King house, where Mrs. Faye King
came to her death, January 25, whose

murder. Probably as many as three
thousand people visited the spot today.
Many of them approached the
house no nearer than the road in
front and on side, not caring to part
with the 25 cents necessary to gain
admission to the premises. Despite
their economy, C. E. MfcGurkin, who
has the house rented for exhibition
purposes, did a land-office business.
While many visitors came In the
morning, the crowd did not reach its
height until -the afteniuon. For
several hours then the premises looked
as if a picnic or a political meeting
were being staged.

the house C. E. McGurkin
said he had not and that he had
heard nothing more about the matter.
