Heath) Hanging In one of the spacious parlors of the Court lun, Camden's historic and century old hotel, Is a large picture of General George Washington, said to have been painted by oue K. P. Deal, Jr.. an artist of colonial times. Deal, In wilting of the painting of Washington mantioua that the work was done by himself and his father, also a noted painter, and that Washington sat as many as four tlmea dally, each time having to have his face shaved. The picture, painted qnly four years before the death of Washington, has hung on the wall of the Court Inn, then known as "Dausanne," for scores uf years. In fact, In March, 1826, it was viewed by General l.afayette who exclaimed when he saw it "My friend, God guard you." In I8t>5 when Sherman's forces swept through this section of the southland on the march from Atlanta to the sea, federal soldiers ranged through the handsome old dwelling. Due of the soldiers, said to have been Irlnking, made a move to jab a baymet through the painting when haltad by others in the squad who tpld aim it was a picture of Washington, j The intoxicated ruffian, making an ( elaborate bow, said, "1 beg your par-' ion, Georgo." Henry DeSaussure, who built the, mi, was made the first director,, of j he United States mint by General j Washington, then President. Ho held ' he office for several years and It was ipon his leaving the service to reurn to South Carolina to serve as i Chancellor, that he persuaded Washngton to sit for the picture above neutioned. "He made the request vith the plea that he wanted to have ho face of his friend look down on lim in his own home. Henry DeSaussure possessed tho lrst coin ever minted in this country, riie coin was for many generations landed down in the male line but eventually a daughter, about to be narried, had the coin made into a lug. Therefore, a coin which today vould have an unestimable value, was 10 more. Even the ring has dlsapicared from the family heirlooms. j Editor John W. Karhardt. Sr., of he Newberry Observer, was re-elected for the third time as mayor of dewberry Tuesday. He defeated his mly opponent, Charles W. Douglas, jy a vote of 1,552 to 552.
