Camden is a city of about 4,000 people, situated in Kershaw county, in the Pine Belt region of central South Carolina. It is reached by railroad from north, south and west by well-appointed trains: in 18 or 19 hours from New York, in 13 hours from Washington, in 36 hours from Chicago. From the far south of Florida the journey by rail is made in somewhat less than 24 hours; from Jacksonville in 11. Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta, are all readily accessible, and the journey to and from Charleston is accomplished in six hours. Travelers from New York and Boston may journey to Camden by large coastwise steamers to Charleston or Savannah with three or four nights at sea, according to the point of departure and the route chosen. Camden is situated on the "Capital to Capital" highway and may be reached by motor car from all southern points.
Camden is served by three modern resort hotels and many excellent boarding houses. Its reputation as a health resort is established. The mild, but bracing atmosphere of the winter months, the cheering southern sunshine, have proved the delight of many thousands of visitors. There is much that is attractive in the scenery, while the flowers, hedges, shrubbery and gardens are greatly admired. The town itself is pleasing.
