"Let the record be made of the men and things of to-day, lest they pass out of memory to-morrow and are lost. Then perpetuate them not upon wood or stone that crumble to dust, but upon paper, chronicled in picture and in words that endure forever." --Kirkland

Potts Camp, taken ca 1915-1916 from atop the coal shute.
According to Dale Potts Hollingsworth's book, Memories of Potts Camp, the coal shute was built in 1915 and a "deep well" in 1916, so the picture would have been taken 1915-1916, a little later than the other picture of the town, as the trees are taller and a shed has been added to what once was the Greer store and later the theater.
