Home In Country Burned Saturday Fire of unknown origin Saturday about noon, destroyed a seven-room residence on the old Liberty Hill road about ten miles northwest of Camden. The house was owned by the late S. C. Rose, of the Cantey Hill section but recently became the property of Mrs. Klizabeth Carrison Walte. formerly of Camden, but now of Columbia. It was occupied by Ben Alexander, colored, who farms the property, and his children discovered the blaze on the roof and almost succeeded In extinguishing the flames by use of pump water. Ben succeeded In saving a portion of his furniture. He tells The Chronicle that this Is the fourth residence on the same spot that has been reduced to ashes within the past thirty years.
