Diligent search in state records show that a fair was held In Canlden In 1774 A court house and jail were finished in 1771. There is no trace of any municipal officers or organizations in Pine Tree Hill or Camden prior to the Revolutionary war. During the Revolution there waa still no evidence of town government during British occupation, which lasted from June 1. 1780 to May 10, 1791; martial law was supreme and It ftppears that the commonest transnotions were subject to the scrutiny of British Military Officers. j The first appearance of any municipal organisation la found la the net | of 1785, creating commissioners of I streets and markets in Camden. The I era of formal corporate existence dat' es from February 19. 1791. when the legislative act of incorporation was passed. Camden was the first town after Charleston to receive that privilege. The government was vested in i a town council consisting of an injtendariit and four wardens elected an nually on the first Monday in April. [ The municipal charter created by this act sufficed, with a few amendments, ; for the government t^f Camden for one hundred years. Joseph Kershaw was the first inten; dant in Camden being named in 1791. In 1792 Isaac DuBose was elected end held office two years. Oscar Alexander was intendant in 1794 but Isaac was returned the next year. Then followed John Kershaw, Samuel Mathis, John Kershaw again. Isaac DuBose for a third offering.

I In 1890 the first mayor was named and to Dr. J. W. Corbett, now living and venerated by the entire community, was accorded the honor of being the first mayor. I Dr. Corbett had been elected as j Intendant and it was during his term of office that the name Of the chief executive was changed to that of mayor. Hence, he had the honor of ! being Camden s nrst mayor. The late Henry G. Carrison, Sr., was the first mayor to be elected to his office, his term following that of Dr. Corbett, or In 1892. A. D. Kennedy was next mayor, being elected in 1894. F. L. Zomp was elected mayor in 1896 and 1898, and E. O. McGreight In 1900 and 1902. In 1904 the late H. G. Carrison was again elected to office. He held office through that year, 1966, 1909, and 1907 and waa succeeded by F. M. Temp in 1908. Dr. 8. F. Braeslngton became mayor in 1910 and served two terms. In 1914 C. H. Tatea was elected to the office at mayor sad served two terms. W. J. Dana liana mayor tm 1999 tad eot red one term, la 19*9 M * Cmrmm* was elected mayor and served two! terms, being succeeded in 1924 byfl C. P. DuBose. Sr., and in turn by S.I M. Kennedy, Jr., in 1930. J. H. Oa-fl borne became moyor in 1934 and 8m-fl ed two terms. F. N. McCorkle wul elected mayor in 1938, again in lMlfl and starts his third consecutive terafl in May. J It is interesting to note that in thai 42 years in which the chief execu-B live of Camden has been known ail "The Mayor" there are two othtfl men who have been returned to offktffl three times, they being Henry G. Car-B rison. Sr., and the late Dr. S. F.I Brasington. Both have passed on dur- fl ing the past few years. In the case of Mayor McCorkle. k*fl has the distinction of being the fintfl mayor to be elected three times isfl succession. . fl STATE THEATRE 11 KERSHAW, 1C I FRIDAY, MAR. 6 ^ I "DESIGN FOR 4 fl .
