EXCHANGE CLUB NOTES The restoration of Bethesda Presbyterian church, the beautiful old churC*h on DeKalb street in Camden, was the subject of an excellent talk at this week's meeting of the Exchange Club, by Edmund C. Stout, who has been spending his winters here for the past two years, and who ia in fact now a resident of Camden. Mr. Stout has been very much interested in this fine old building and in the restoration of it to its original beauty. This building was designed by the great architect, Mills, who. was the architect of many of the fine old buildings over South Carolina and other Southern states. It was erectod in 1821 and has b*d an Hluitrloui history. Mr. Stout mentioned the trouble in attempting tfi tisloro it exactly as itvwatT original V because of the absence of official records of that perod. The remains of Baron DeKalb, who fought so gallantly for the American cause and who was killed at the Battle of Camden, lie in front of the church and his monument stands over his grave. ' Camdeh is very fortunate to have such a distinguished and capable gentleman as Mr. Stout in its community and interested in this work.
