Viewed from the outside, the residence appeared to bo plafetered brick, however only the Southern half Vas composed of heavy brick walls, the northern side was lath und Piaster over frame-work. This northern portion wua removed by the owner, Mra. llewlck Legare, the early part of this century. At the time of the earthquake in I 1K8(S, the houae was occupied by Mr. and Mra. Helton O'Neall Kennedy. Later the property was bought by the late Jamea 11. Hurna und pausing Into other hands a few yeara afterwards, the second story was removed, and the former lovely, Imposing old residence became an eyesore. The nearest houae to the north of It was the Jamulcan Colonial residence of Mr. William Antrum which was burned years ago. and almost opposite at ill stands "The Pines", the Colonial home built by Colonel James Cheanut and owned by the late A. I Pulton Kennedy, Sr. Incidentally Jt Is Interesting to add that Mr. Clples with Captain Warren and Captain Carter superintended the exhuming of DeKalb's body In 1825 and after Captain Carter's death, owned DeKalb's "helmet" visor which Dr. A. W. Burnet found later and gave to Dr. Edward Hoykin. Also that Mrs. Sarah Clples gave in 1851 part of the ground on -which btande the Methodist church on Lyttleton Street., also the Parsonage with quarters for servants. There were three slaves given to the minister. She also gave twenty shares of stock In the Bank of Camden "for the support of the parson and for the cloth' Jng of said servants".

Mr. Richards is being urged to enter the race for the unexpired term of Senator Byrnes. He has the matter under consideration, but has not definitely decided his course as yet. Should he decide to run, we feel that with his pleasant personality, his native ability, and energy and experience as a campaigner, he will prove strong competition for the seat vacated by Justice Byrnes. Miss Edith Richards, Mrs. R. J. Wardlaw and son, JimpUe, are expected home Wednesday from Allendale, where they are visiting Mrs. Baker Warren.

Pat Thompson, Jr., spent Sunday night with his father, at Santee, S. C., Camp No. 9, of Santee Cooper Project. One Hundred Years Old This Church 0 An interesting event taking place in the vicinity of Camden recently was the celebration. Sunday, July 13, by the colored people in the Boykln community, of the 100th anniversary of "Good Hope" Methodist Church. The church was built on a two acre tract of land facing the Old Charleston Road, by John M. DeSaussure for his negro slaves. It is said that a Mr. Shuford held services for the slaves in its early days and that a large conch shell was blown to notify the widely scattered members that they were called to a service or a meeting. One of the original members, Rebecca Myrant died at the age of J03, three months ago, and the oldest member of the congregation, now living, Tony Bradford, remembers "toting" shingles to repair the old church, when he was a boy. The old church was burned in 1930 but was rebuilt a few months later. At the celebration Sunday there was special music and preaching morning and afternoon, with a midday picnic dinner under tne trees, marking the Interlude. About a quarter of a mile from this church was an old inn. used for stopping over in the old stage coach days, between Camden and Charleston.

" "The senate of the Uuited State#," he said after his appointment, iH the greatest legialative and deUWrttiita body in the world, and at a time like this, when the very history of the world is being changed overuiKht.... I know of no period when a man could appreciate more the privilege of serving... .than at this Ume." Lumpkin was born in Millodgeville, Ga., a member of a family that has * furnished many Jurists? J. H. Lump, kin, who served in 1845 as the flret chief Justice of Georgia; Wlleon Lumpkin, governor and U. 8. senator from 1830 to 1837 and Samuel Lump, kin, a Jurist of the Georgia supreme court. His father, William Wallace Lump. Igin, "Just moved" to South Carolina In 1899 and later started to run for the senate against "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, hut withdrew because of bad health; In 1910 the elder Lumpkin 1 ran for the senate against "Cotton Ed" Smith, who was elected that ~ year. So now Lumpkin will be serving '2 In the senate with the man who beat * his father. Lumpkin and Smithy > though, are good friends. At the University of South Carolina young Lumpkin was manager of the ~ football team and a tenor in the glee club, and a member of Signja Alpha < Epsllon. Upon his graduation from ."j law school he began practicing law ) in Columbia and was a member of the state house of representatives for two terms. In the legislature he participated in an unusual filibuster. He and seventeen other representatives set to kill a bill to issue $12,000,000 ~ bonds for cotton loans to farmers. The bill, In event it passed, wort "j have to be submitted to the yoiefs 1 for approval In the November elec- = tion. It was then October. So Lumpkin and the otheTs fowl an old house rule which reonlrad^ all seated members of the house to -vote. At every roll call one of the ~ seventeen kept his seat, but did Wt vote. Each time, after, the roll ?S, 1 one of the seventeen would call the speaker's attention to the fact thst a seated member had not voted. This | went on and on; the bill passed, but j too late?the November election was a thing of the past.
