Our esteemed exchange, The Edgefield News agrees la the deductions of The Advance, but asserts that the expiration of Governor Ansel's second term will see his political finish. For why? According to The News, because he hus ig nored those men who helped to elect him and gone off after foreign gods. This proposition doesn't strike us as half reason able. We want to go on record as positively asserting that M. F- Ansel has beeu the only real Governor of South Carolina since Tillman. He has gone steadily forward in the line of his duty ns he has seen it, consulting none other than those whose in formation and advice would prove of value. If he has made tt mistake in the conduct of the onerous duties of his office, it is, iu our opinion his acquiescence in the injunction proceedings of his attorney general. He has otherwise been eminently con servative, and his name will go down in history as one of our wisest and safest executives. Recurring to that injunction matter, we are on record as bit terly opposing "Government by Injunction. " It is absolutely undemocratic, and when re sorted to, indicates clearly that (there is either a defect in the law, that the luw is wrong, or tha? public opinion is not behind it. No. Governor Ansel's finish is not yet. Certainly not because of Ml* reasons assigned by the Edgefield News. If nothj n g worse than the bogies conjured up by the editor of that paper arises, we hope, in the provi eeuce of God to some day cast- a uote, and exert such inlluence as we may possess to place him in the United States Senate, in which position he will add new lustre to the name of tho State which lias already given to the puliou so many illustrious sons. A BIT STRANGE. The fact is pretty well known that there a re th ree wel 1 equ i pped job printing offices in this cit^ , either and every proprietor of which is capable of turning out any and everything in the line of job work that is usually re quired by the average business or professional man, The work done in these several offices is ?qual to that turned out at any office anywhere, and that at prioes considerably lower than those churged iu outside offices. Why, then is so much jot work sent outside of the city? The only reason that we cau assign is the haoknied idea that work done away from home must be better because it it done away from home. That this is an erro* nious idea, everyone who has in spected the work of our city job offices will not dispute. That tliere are certain classos of work which cannot be handled in other than a large city office, goes without saying. These may be summed up as engraving, em bossing, book aud bindery work. AH other classes of job work can be handled, and handled proper ly by our local job printers, and, if only as a matter o / local pride, every - local man in need of job stationary, should give his work to one or the other of his local job printers. To a Columbian it would be strange and in a degree, humili ating to know of job work that could be done in Columbia, be ing sent to Camden. To a citi ^ of Camden, this sense of * Mrniifcanos* and humiliation J- 1 ? ? kltuuld cult whoa b? bear* thai I the qIm? of worlr wliioh the local Job printer can do equally as wall, and at lower prices, it sent to Columbia, Charleston, Rook Hill, or mmm other outside city. Oity pride, aad city aud par soual interest should cause a quick stoppage of this practice, | as well as the duty you owe as a citisen to city institutions, lor we are city institutions. The jofr department of the several newspapers here furnish a Urge element of the revenue neces sary to sustain those papers, and | unless they are sustained, down they must go, end then where will Camden be? Think of this, people. GIVE YOUR LAMPS ATTENTION They Wfl Save You Better for a Little Care. No lamp has any value what ever unless it burns well, and iq order that it shall do this with out that horrible oily odor, it must be cleaned frequently, filled every day, aud wiped off thor oughly after each filling. If a lamp smells persistently, unless it leaks or isotherwise distinctly out of repair, it means that the parts need boiling. To do this, take the lamp to pieccs as much as possible, put the parts in a big kettle and oover with cold water; add a handful of wash ing soda and bring to a boil. Then remove the parts, dry thoroughly, adjust and trim the wick and till. Nine times out of ten this is all that a smelly lamp requires. Most lamps take well to this treatment once a month. ? The New Idea Woman's Maga zine for July. Of Interest to Democrats. The Nutional Democratic Con gressional Campaign Commit tee has begun active operations at its headquarters at Washing ton, D. C. In addition to its regular work, it is now prepar ing a Campaign hand-book which it hopes to have ready for dis tribution by July 1 ? two or three months earlier than heretofore. The Committee is charged with the duty of assisting, in evpry way possible, the election of a Democratic Congress. We wish the aotive co operation of every voter in the United States who believes, with us, that the election of a Democratic Con gress would greatly benefit the country. We must rely upon the people to sustaiu our work by giviug information as to lo cal conditions, and suggestions for our guidanoe. Each individual can at least aid us by malting a contribution, Will he not do so and interest others in helping us, too? We wish our Campaign hand book distributed as generally as possible, and wo will furnish a copy, as soon us published, to every ono who contributes to our Committee. Send remittanoee to me at Washington, D. C. JAMES T. LLOYD, Chairman. Optimistic to tlie End. Sometime ago there was a flood in Western Pennsylvania. An old fellow who bad lost near, ly everything he possessed was sitting on the roof of the house as it floated along whan a boat j approached. "Hello, John." "Hel'o, Dave." "Are your fowls all washed away, John?" "Yes, but the ducks can swim, I replied the old man. "Apple trees gone?" "Well, they said the crops would bo a failure, anyhow." "I see the flood's away above your windows." ? "That's alright, Pavo. Them winders needed washing any how. " ? Philadelphia Ledger. A Ornti<l Family Medicine.

Sheriff Hilton went a-tishing for bream at tbe Hermitage mill poud last Saturday,. Catch un counted. Sheriff Trantham appears to have fully recovered from his recent indisposition. Look scared law-breakers. Sheriff Williams is said to have ono of the prettiest .crops in West Wateree. He planted his cotton according to the Williamson plan. Sheriff Huckabee was in the city on Saturday. His principal business was to engage a number of fence- menders, the contract to extend to August 25tli, or, longer. Sheriff Clyburn was also with us on Saturday. lie did not dis close the object of his visit, but as we hear that his crop is in good shape, wo assume that lie has a weather eye open ou the other fellows who want to take his job from him on August 25th. Sheriff Moseley is still doint; business at the same old stand, and while he is not talking much politics because of the heat, he is sayihg chough to make those who want to corral his job in \ugust, sit up and take notice that he believes he has the goods. Capt. R. W. Hammond of Be* tliune requests us to state that he will not be a candidate for Clerk of the Court at this time. What the future may bring forth, no man knoweth. Note the card of Hon. R. Good wyn Ulictt of Charleston in this and subsequent issues. He is an able man, whose family is long distinguished for services rendered the State. Col. George Johnstone also has a card of announcement with us. In our judgemeut, and with our intimate kuowledge of him, we do not hesitate to say that he is by far the best equipp ed man in the race for the United State Senatorslup. The candidates for the Legis lature are not making much audi ble noise over their race, but we occasionally catch on to a slight trembling of the earth where ono or the other of them have been packing dirt. It will not be long however before demonstra tions of an auricular character will assail all those aurated. The race for Solicitor promi ses to bo a warm one. The line up, Messrs. Clarke, Rembert, Cobb aud Bennett is a quartet of thoroughbreds not often seen on a political race track, aud the winner will have little more than a neck lead to boast of. Every Kershaw voter should whoop up and vote for our county candi date. CLEMSON COLLEGE EXAMI NATION.
