Weather Vane and j Clock Ages Old Few people visiting Camden and observing tke distinctive tower of the city hull are aware that the Indian weathervane and the town clock with it a four dials are considerably over a cuiitury old. The Indian figuro was designed as an ideul efTlgy of the noble Ca'tawbu chief King Haiglur, who in the older days between 1760 and 1763 was a frequent visitor to Camden. '1 he eftlgy representm hlin in a ilhy yoso with drawn how and arrow, a quiver at his back, feathers in his hair and a stag's horns at his feet. In stature tu ^enigy Is live feet, one inch and hus been cut from sheot Iron. The artist was one J. 13. Mathleu, a Frenchman who flourished In i Camden between the years of 1816 and 1834. The efTigy was made, according to historic data, ,in 1826, in which year it was raised to the summit of the completed market steeple which was located opposite the old court house on lower IJroad street. There it presided until 1859 when it wus removed with the steeple further up town and placed upon its second perch where It remained until January 1886. In that year it was moved to lis present location, atop the steeple of the city hall. The prowess of this Indian warrior, our tutelary genius against the elements, can not be better expressed than these graphic words of a wellknown Camden resident now deceased, who said, "the old Indian, so dear to the hearts of your people, was never known to turn his back to the storm; yet 1 have seen him bend before the blast and quiver like an aspen leaf, while spectators with bated breath expected to see him hurled from his airy perch. Hut no, he \yould suddenly recover his equilibrium-? boldly face the warring elements, and with pointed arrow bid defiance to the hurricane." Tho "town clock" with Its four dials is a contemporary of the Indian ?has accompanied him in each migration from spire to spire and as he presided above, has tolled off the hours of more than a century of time. The bell of this clock which now rings out the hours served in days of slavery for the curfew which rung at 9:00 o'clock in the evening, as aj market bell, and ns u fire alarm. Frequently inquiries have been , made as to what ever became of King j Haiglar, particularly as to when his | death occurred. It is recorded in Historic Camden" that a lurking party of Shawnees poured a volley Into him from ambush and took his proud scalp, that happening on Au<ust 13. 1763. Later the Catawbas tracked .down the Shawnee slayers | ( 3f the King and killed them all, aj act thai is proof of how assiduous, was the Indian in pursuit of revenge. |, The six Shawnees had their scalps I removed by the avenging Catawbas . ind their scalps were brought to j ['ninden and exhibited at a meeting.>f tlie town board.
