Key To Old Jail Interesting Relic Mayor* McOorkl? is mo possessor, of a somewhat unique relic none' other than a "key to the city." Hut j unlike tlit* usual mammoth wooden j key, resplendent iu ^ i 11, tled with satin Millions and used on memorable . invasions when some dignitary visits the coiunuinity -this key is a small 1 steel affair of a most unique design. i( figured in the a flairs of the community way back in I sib. which is just b.t years ago. it was the key to the city baatilo and Unbred In many ivi'lcniniiiR events for those who ran afoul of the law. Camden's first jail (referred to in Historic Camden as "gaol") was built iu 1771 So far as the records are available ibis jail was destroyed by tire in 177b. The next record of a jj.t11 refers to wile that was embraced in the eity market building and this was destroyed by tire in 1812. The old jail which stood at the corner of liroad and King streets was the one in whlclu Andrew Jackson and his brother were confined as prisoners of war during the Revolutionary period. History has it that Andrew Jackson, who later became famous when lie led the Colonial troops* to \ iciory over the Mritlsh at New OrleaiiSj was imprisoned, when lie refused to blacken the boots of a British officer. It was a blow from the saber ot' ihe British officer that left a mark that Jackson carried throughout his life. it is interesting to note that Jackson and other prisoners routined in the jail were able to peer front tliu windows and watch the battle of HobKiik Hill which took place oil April 2a. 17N1 Jackson and Ills friends were hopeful that the Americans under (leneral Oreene would be able to capture Camden and effect their release front the'Jail. Of course they were greatly disappointed. They later related how angry the British soldiers were because of the teriitic battle put up by the Americans, In fact, all expected to be slain at that time. Camden lias had a series of jails% a number of which were destroyed in conflagrations which swept the city upon a number of occasions. Tile iron pot which the Red Cross placed at the corner of Broad and lJcKalb streets for old keys has nu int c rest ing history. Tho pot is almost as old as the "city key" now In possession of Mayor MeCorkle. The pot, known hack before the civil war and lor many years subsequently, as a "wash' pot" was loaned to tho Red Cross by Mrs. Kate Singleton in whose family it has heen for nearly a century. It originally belonged to Mrs. Klizaheth Crosby, who with her husband, ib-orgo, operated a bakery on lower Broad street at a point where the Hay's garage is now located (>ld timers recall that bakery with much relish as the bread and pastry that was offered was just about the finest to be found iti the state.. When Mrs. Crosby passed away the bakery continued to turn out the finest In bread mul pastry under the direct ion of Mr. and Mrs. John Singleton. Mrs. Singleton having been Klix.aheth Crosby. Later the pot came into the possession of Mrs. Kate Singleton whose husband. Howard, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Singleton. SOME H ECTIC TRAVELING < Hy The Skipper) This U the tale of a young Camden matron, who has definitely dotitled that from now on .she will hole up in Camden?at least? for the duration, This young lady, quite outstanding in the el vie and eharltahle ucllvltlos in our bailiwick, had been on a visit with friends In Florida. Outside of missing her train in leaving Fort Lauderdale and having to spend several ducats It) wire her husband to meet another train, a long wait in Jacksonville, her real thrill came when the (lying Deisel. whhh was supposed to stop at Cajmleii when passengers for this bailiwick are aboard, roared past the station at 00 per. It Mounts that the Cullman conductor forgot to notify Lit* engineer and the regular conductor thought tho Cullman conductor would take care or the ---stop report. Well anyway, tho train went threo miles before Hying sparks along the rails iudltuted the application of brakes. And then the. big streamliner of soma 17 cars had to back np to tho Camden station to let the one lone angry lady off. "My wife is off any more trips for the duration," said the grinning huhhy, who hud waited patiently until IL tu a. m. to greet his charming missus. Old Jail Is Now Real "White House" ! Camden has a "white house" wherein today the county health de-, pnrtment and several other units of county activity nro housed. This ''white house" whs formerly a drab ugly looking old fashioned 'clink." which Is the present war designation of "jail" First, the building of a new and modern jail on Lafayette avenue resulted in the old structure being converted into a| health clinic with the latest in equip-1 meat and oilier essentials. And when the drab exterior was remodeled and then covered with sev- i eral coats of glossy white paint, the effect was magic. And now a wide paved drive is being construeted from DeKalb street, to the "white house." !
