Taken in tho aggregate, the papers In the small cities, towns and vll lago? exert more actual Influence than tho metropolitan press, or if they do not It is their own fault. It Is generally charged that metro politan dallies are subsidized, and, while the charge may have been exaggerated, there Is enough truth In it, as ovory well Informed news paper man known. It Is the duty of the country press to Itself and to the people to lead and not to fol low. From every view point the farm-j Ing class of this county Is lu bettor shape now than at any period since the civil war. More people own their own homes and little farms; j more are free from the yoke of bondage Inflicted by burdensome debts; more are becoming Indepen dent each year hy making a comforic able living for their families; more are waking up to the necessity of giving their children better educa- j tlonal advantages, and withal, pros-j perity and contentment seem to prevail throughout the country.) l.et progress still be our watch- I word! Although the Camden Chronicle gives uh credit for the Inspiration to change the make-up of Its ex ii'lletit puper, by taking ndvertise liients from the front page, wo are quite sure that they must have had the Idea in view all along. We were agreeably surprised, when we opened The Chronicle last week, to find that the change had been made. The Chronicle is a much better looking and a much more newsy paper than before aud. now with Its new equipment, it Is in a position to take a lead In its ft old. Having gone to the expense of providing Its patrons with such an excellent paper, It deserves an evon larger and better patronage than It has enjoyed heretofore.? Laurens Advertiser. Governor Hrown has said nay to tho extradition proceedings brought against T. B. Kelder, by Governor Bloase, and gives as his reasons for not granting same that the charges did not warrant his being brought back to this state. Governor Dleaee now de fies the governor of Georgia by of fering a reward for the arrest and delivery of Felder. In commenting cn this affair tho Atlanta Constitu tion says: "It Is now reported that the next act of this Interest ing drama may take place before tho Legislature of South Carolina on Impeachment proceeding*, and if one - tenth of the evidence is gathered that the Constitution hear* is available, it can be taken for granted that the next session of the South Carolina Legislature will be one of the moftt interesting in years.*' J<?tin (J, l(iclu?r<lM for Governor.

We were fortunate in securing a big lot of clothing from a manufacturer who needed,the money so we got them cheap and will place these before our friends for this great June festival. It has been our experience that the best way to advertise and make trade is by giving values that are exceptional to an extreme degree. It would be folly indeed to advertise a "Special June Sale" and then not "deliver the goods." We do not care to disappoint our friends and be wasting money to advertise. Business has been and is good with us. What we want is more trade and to get this we are satisfied to bear a loss. Our loss on these great bargains we will charge to our advertising account and consider it a good investment. SHOE BARGAINS Lot No. 1 Children's White Oxfords, Sizes 6-10, worth from 75c to $1.
