Harry KEMP, a negro man who lives at Hope Hill, in this county, was in town Tuesday and bought a pair of shoes from Mr. MCKELVY.  Harry is one hundred and twelve years old, is able to pick cotton and do  a great deal of farm work.  He remembers the revolutionary war very distinctly, and, judging from his looks, is good for several years more yet.
