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

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
