Welcome; Thrice Weftfomol 'I'o Our Friend* From Columbia. 1 ??? ? 1 ?" under tne management of the Washington Street Methodist Sun day School, of Columbia, an oxcur aion will ho run to Camden. Our guests will leave Columbia at 8.00 a. m., arid returning will leave Cam don at 6.30 p. m. Upon tho arrival of tho train a match gaino of base hall will tako place at the base ball grounds of the Cam Jon Junior hall team between this team and the U ? * ? 1IJ-L * bia. Tho toams, it is said, will ho well matched, ami lovers of the groid ^morican game will no doubt be highly entertained. Tho headquarters for tho picknick era will be Monumental Square, but our entire oily will bo theirs for the day. Everywhere they will receive a most cordial woloomo from the oil teens of one of tho most historic eit ies in South Carolina Hero the) will find many points of interest. Ilobklrk Ifill, where once the rude clash of arms resounded is now dot. tod with handsomo resiliences just north of tho City. Lafayette Hall, where our grandmothers, then rosy oheokod little girls, strewed flowers in the path of tho great frenchman as ho walkod from the gate to this historic old Mansion, still defies the ravngos of time. Just below Cain den tho tomb of Agnes of (Jlascow will bring to mind a romance of rev olutionary lime. A beautiful lake with puro and limpid waters will re flect the hnppy faces of our visitors as truo as did "Kathrino in her mir ror blue." This but touches on a few of the interesting features of Camden. Beautiful gardens, handsome resi dences, shady streets, and public squares will ho at tho disposal of our guests. To the visitors from our anpital city wo extend a most eordiaP wel come. Make yourselves at home. Wo feel honored in having you with us, und may to day be tho forerun ner of liko to-morrow. Tho Atlanta Journal thinks that President McKinley is a failure. It says: "William MeKinley will go down to history as the weakest of all the presidents of the United States up to the beginning of the 20th century, and we do not think it la possible that we can over have a worst; one. Ilia ?wri party has Jos', respect for him. lis ablest aud best mon condemn him and the newspapers which were most po tent in his support and most In fluential for his election now con cede that he is a failure and a fraud. The weakness and misery of President McKinley are best ex hibited by his own friends." In tho first three months of the 3'ear, says the New York Journal of Commerce, 07 new cotton millH have been contracted for, with f>30. 000 spindles. "South Carolina leads 208,000, followed l?y Georgia N->|rlth 147,000 and North Carolina with 119,00." South Carolina also leads with 23 new mills, to 20 ft- r North Carolina, 13 for Georgia and 0 tor all New England. And it has far less territory and popula tion than any of these rivals. The approach of the Paris Expo sition has led to the discovery that ir nearly always followed a big expedition. Tlra picnic holiday, which was to ktvt bMD given last Friday, was foslpooed ontlT today, May 11, so the school children might unite excarsionista from Colnm ? ?xp6u??u here, in large ift ttorning.

Tlio one of whom we speak has for several years served the public in an honorably and tearless man ner. Ho servo* t the county several years as deputy sheriff making several arrests of vast importance, some of which bis own life was endangered. Ihit with that stern idea of going where duly '?all-., he even under the protest of his friends, wi.-nt ahead and made the arrest. I "The one. of whom we speak is Mr. .1. I I lo'cher I'ntoman. Fletcher for months j p-isf has been on tho constabulary force where In- ha-i worked himself up to the j position of chief over tnyn who had served years before him.

I :i iti a candidate tor the position of Clerk ot the Court for this county, in tlio pri ! mnry elect ion of the Democratic I'artv, I to be held this year, and hope to receive t your support. If elected. I think that 1 can give you thoroughly competent ser vice, as almost my whole life bfls been spent in v in k of somewhat similar char acter. In 18HR, when a eamlidate for the same office, the fact was used against me that ! already had a position which earned for me a livelihood, and 1 do not dmht'.hat 1 lost mnTfyivotos on that ac count. 1 hope that this year those who voted against me because of that fact will look at the subject in a different light, remembering that if I was not earning a living, I would not boa proper man to serve yon in this important of* fice. My record as a citizen, and a Democrat lies fair and open bcioro yon, and on it 1 hope to he elected. Hcspectfully, W. A. Sen rick. Kditor of Chronicle : ?

Yours liespectfully, .SCo. To My Friends & Patrons: 1 This is the beginning of another season with cotton at 4 and 5 cents per pound. This means cheap goods or no snle. I have got the goods and they have got to Be sold and as I have always said I never allow any one to undersell me, the money ., is what 1 want and that I am going to have if you come in my store. 1 have a big stock as usual, fresh and nice; never have an}' old stale stock. FRESH GOODS coming in every ('ay. I went in business in ,1891 when cotton ? was about the same prices it is now and I am' still here doing my chare; some predicted that I would not pull through that season. Low priced cotton don't frighten me, I* have gone through a hotter battle than this. I sold my goods for such small profits, I find that it pays to make small profits and quick sales. I have kept it uj) and don't want to change it. j will say to those who have stores in the country to come in and .. I will divide the profits with you as have always dene. Some business houses may tell you they curry a larger stock than 1 Jo, you can say to them you get more jfor a dollar rTAT-PINSON'is, than you get from Jhein, it makes' but Jjttfe difference to you bow much stock they carry. What you want is all you pan get for. jvw?_ Micney. I am satisfied with the past and I - know [ will be with the future for I am working just as hard for your trade rn I ever did. Come on yon will find me at the ; place. Yours Ifiespectfufly, A - ' . /.* t. . i . >.'J . - . . .^r.v ? ..
