HI8T0KIC FIRE8 OF CAMDEN
(Continued from puge one)
ledge "amf Hroud Htreets, wdt7T"onTer
txii 1<1 tfiKH ami offices, was wiped out,
and in 1H77 the great Ark" tire occurred
An immense old wooden
building on the site of the present
Opera House was known as the "Old
Ark It made a hum* blaze, and half
Of the square on that side went up
with it
I he.se many disasters were due to
no fault of tin* Camden Fire Departjiicnt,
which has always been active
and gallant The earliest regulation
found on the subject is an old ordinance
of 179S requiring each lot ownI
er to have a well, a good bucket and
a ladder. Four fire masters were required
to preside at conflagrations,
their insignia being a black staff with I
white tip. In 1X11> the town had two
file engine houses.
Just before the great fire of 1829,
the Independent Fire Kngine Company
had been chartered by the legislature,
and certainly did good service
in sa\ing the town hall and court
house. In ix3o a Hook and Ladder
Company was formed, and In 1833 another
fire company, the Hydraulation.
In 1837 one A a foil Burr Is mentioned
as ( aptain of the Independent Company,
which operated an engine costing
$8<M).uo, with twenty-four feet of
suction and ir,o feet of delivery hose.
This was a wonderful machine in
that day, and excited great curiosity
on its arrival, described by the town
wag as a beast with a short tall behind
it and a long one in front.
'I his Aaron Ihirr was for many I
years a merchant in Camden, a town
warden and prominent in fire circles.
His advertisement op "Cocoauut Dippers"
and other wares may he found
in old newspapers.
During the forties ami fifties Clamden
had three fire'engines, the .Mari\<"t
Imgine for downtown. Hydrauiion
lor middle section, and Log Town Kngine
toi uptown. During the seventies
the town had besides the Vigilant, a
white company, two colored conipaii-J
ies. both very faithful and efficient.
In 1884 the hand engine gave place
to the steamer, which like the Hydrauiion
of 1837, was hailed as a savior
It was not, though a great "hummer,
a special success, for it usually
?uii\ed on the scene of action an
hour laic-. It gave way to modern 1
progress with advent of waterworks
in 1897. since when a first class hose
and reel company has protected the
town.
So when the firemen or South Carolina
meet in Camden on .June 9 and
|o. they will b<> i? a town that has
mo equal as a fire fighting center except
the fine oi,| historical town of
Cha rleston.
Hack in the days when people turned
around to look at a bicycle, Camden
had many deep wells, one of them
being where the cltv guard house is
now located, and when the hand
drawn fire equipment reached the
scene, a hose was lowered into the
well and many volunteers got on each
side of the contraption and pumped
until they were out of breath. The
other hose would throw a stream of
perhaps twenty-five feet, to the I
amazement of the onlookers and those !
pumping too. A pump was in the
middle of the street between the I)e-1
Pass Drug Store and tlie Opera House
and when not used to water horses
and citizens as well, served to furnish
water to the bucket brigade when
there was a fire in the business seot
ion.
I lie first horse drawn fire department
ot ivp, created a sensation, and
it was driven by a well known negro,
known as 1 Rabbit." who in all his
glory of driving the high stopping
horse >. would have made the Prime
ot W ales look liko ,i piker
With the inauguration of the horse
drawn tire department. Camd.ii began'
entering tournaments, and in a tournament
at New berry won second place,
being h??nten by the famous old Palmetto
Fire Department of Columbia.
They next won first place at Salisbury.
x t\. and many maintained it
was a world's record. !n the next
tournament tu Sumter. Camden felt
It was robbed of a victory due to
water being cut off at the critical
time after making a hydrant connection.
and a free for all fight started
between Camden and Sumter citizens,
and these fights continued for many
years afterwards, whether the citizens
met on the base hall field, foothall
field or any other gathering. It
was particularly intensified during
the old State League of 190.7. when
Camden won the pennant after a hard
fight with Sumter. It took extra policemen
to separate fights during
those exciting 1907 and 1906 summers.
Today the towns enjoy the best of
friendship and laugh at how seriously
the citizens took their fire tournaments
and base hall games or* thirty
years ago.
Today i a melon has a modern fire
truck and also an auxiliary truck
equipped with extra hose, ladders and
extinguishers, and with paved streets
and a modern Oambrell alarm system,
the fire loss has been very low
and as a result Camden has a low
fire insurance rating.
Held Final Meeting
The Camden Junior Welfare league
^eld its final meeting for the fiscal 1
year on Monday afternoon at the
i home of Mrs. William Goodale, the

three days. The committee from the
League was assisted by Dr. A. W
Humphries and Miss Christie Hey in

i of conducting the clinic is $525.00.

Crops Badly in Need of Rain
Farmers are very blue over the lad I
of rain. The drought has be<n 05 I
for a number of weeks and coming I
at a critical time when cotton and I
corn has been planted. Many farm- I
era have replanted, and others are ut I
decided whether or not to replair I
The cotton that has come up is very I
spotted. Occasionally one can see a I
fair field hut as a general rule only I
a few seed have sprouted. j
A dry year for sandhill cotton in I
usually better than a \\Tt year, pro- I
\ ided the farmer can get his cotton I
crop started. A good rain will makp 1
the farmers mighty happy and some 1
now think that a good rain might be I
too late for them to make a normal I
crop. i
