EARLY ACADEMY DAYS IN CAMDEN
Judge Allison DuBose Tells
Of Early Century Period
In Camden History
JudKe Alliaon P. OuUose, weo
known bin Camden blstory, gives
Home tnterentlng facts in conoec-
tion wltb tbe old Camden Acad
emy of 1823, referred to in a reprint
of a Charleston News and Courier
article in a recent issue of tAe
Cbronicle.
Says Mr, DuBose: .
“The issue of the Cbronicle of
June 20 refers to tbe Camden
Academy of 1823. Chief Justice
Cordon who held the first court
at Camden In 1770 called attention
to the absence of schools and
school masters, churches and min
isters .
“With the exception of a board
ing school for young ladles which
stood on Market street, the begin
ning of schools in Camden seems
" to|date back to the organization of
the Camden Ottihah' ’ society In
1786, which was Incorporated by
city, provided for the foundiiig of a
school for the education and sup
port of poor orphans and other
poor children in distress within
the state. It appears that soon
after the opening of the school
other children were taken in upon
payment of tnition.
“The Orphan society met annual
ly on July 4 from 11 o’clock In the
morning until 6 o’clock In the af
ternoon. After the transaction of
buniness the members dined at
Retd’s Tavern and paid three shill
ings (76 cents) for their dinner
and every member who attended
the meeting “disguised In liquor”
was assessed a fine of ten shill
ings. Additional funds for tjie
maintenance of the school were
obtained from the proceeds of sale
of escheated property and from
lotteries. »
“Edwin J. Scott, who moved to
Camden as a boy about 1811 and
attended the academy for several
years, gives a vivid picture of the
youth of hln day In the “Random
Recollection’’. He says that the
boys were no rough and un
civilized that it was found neces-
an act of the assembly two years
later. The constitution of this so-'sary to establish a separate school

for them in a building facing the
park; and UuU it was also the cus
tom of tbe boys attending the
school to form a line across tlie
htreet with hands Joined and hold
up the merchants and professional
men on their way to business and
so these gentlemen decided to post
pone thp opening of their stores
and offices until after the opening
of the school in the mornings.
“For some 70 years school was
conducted .In the two brick acade
mies on Elast DeKalb 'street, ad
joining the Presbyterian church
property on the east and set back
riom the street about the same dis
tance as the church, surrounded
by a grove of hickory and oak. The
buildings were designed by Robert
Mills and built in 1822. They were
one story structures with colonial
porches.
“In 1893 the societies conveyed
these academies to the trustees of
the Camden graded schools and
they were later sold to Individuals
and demolished. It is a great loss
to Camdn that these buildings wwe
not preserved as ancient landmarks
of a master builder.**

LARRY DOBY, CAMDEN NEGRO
BASEBALL ACE, IN THE MAJORS
B<Mm On Mariset Street And
Trained Under Direction
Of RicEard DuBose
Camden baseball fans, white and
colored, partloalarly the latter, are
eyeing with mneh interest the per
formance of Larry Doby, stir neg^o
National league inflelder, who has
Just Joined the Cleveland Indians
to be the first negro player in tbe
American league. -
For Doby learned his baseball iif
Camden under, the tutelage of Rich
ard DuBose, negro baseball pro
moter and manager here since 1924.
Doby was.bom in the 600 block
of Market streat, which is between
York and King. HU father, David
Doby, who played first base for the
Camden Sluggers, as DuBose’s tesm
was then known, was one of tM
best first sackers in the colored'
baseball ranks of the sUte. David
wanted Larry to be a good ball
player and when the youngstmr was
but seven years of age. David haf
him playing. basebalL. Larry at
tended the Jackson ”8ehool here
When David Doby died several
years ago, Larry and his mother
moved to Newark. N. J., where
Larry continued hU pUylng.
"That boy was Just a natural
player,” said Richard DuBose;
“When he was with me, I used him
as a first baseman, and I still main
tain that thU U bU best position.
He was a thin kid and yon would
never know the power those skin-
ney arms carried until you saw
him throw the ball or swing a bat.
I remember that when he was Just
a kid toddling around with hU pa,
he was always carrying a glove. He
Just loved and breached Imseball.
“Later when he was about 14 or
16 he played first base regulaHy
for my Camden city team. He play
ed with ns out at the local park
and in many parts of the state. I
knew that some day that kid would
go places as a player. He U a na
tural if there everiwas one.”
This fellow Richard DuBose has
been a leader In Caiuden negro
baseball for many years. Prlof to
coming to Camden in 1924 he man
aged the CoIumbU All-Stars for six
years, starting in 1918. Today he
is manager and coach of the ^am-
den Red Sox and iriays to crowded
stands at American Lotion atadiom
several times a. week.
Doby, the. ISS-prand inflelder,
who slammed is ~Bomera. 18 doubles
and eight triples while compiling s
.458 batting average for Newark
thU season, returned from three
years’ navy service last ye^ur to
spark the Oagles to tbe negro Na
tion league championship.
