FINE OATs.-At Mr.. w. G.. War
ren's store, last Monday. we were
shown sample of st. Tammany
parish oats that are deserving of
more than a passing notice-thev
would doubtless win a prize ut the
Centennial Exhibition. These oats
were raised 10y Mr.. Adolph Flot,
three miles east of Covington, and
measured as follows: Length of
head. 10 inches; length of stalk, 6
feet 8 inches. They are of the red
rnst-proof variety, and the only
fertilizer used was from tho COW
pen. Mr.. Flot has about three
acres of these oats, all as good as
the samples shown, which proves
that this could be made an impor-
tant and profitable crop in our par
lsh, with a little care and intelli-
gent cultivation.

MINERS DRIVEN TO THE POLLS.

Forced to Choose Whether They Would
Starye or Vote the Republican Ticket.
I spent the day at Oxford, Chancey and
Athens, Athens county, says Columbus
(O.) special of Oct. II to the New York
World. The Republicans controlled the
polls at all voting places in Athens coun-
ty, which last year gave ,265 Republican
majority. Col. Charley Grosvenor, who
is very popular there, is the Republican
candidate for Congress against Vance.
The Democrats there are we'll organized,
but had no show at the polls. The judges
at Athens admitted every Republican
vote offered, including, Of course, the
Washington ID. CO. department clerks
and others who have not resided there for
years, and also the college students, who
have no right to vote, but barred out
all Democratic voters whose cases
are parallel. However, the Rep
publican majority will be decreased
in Athens county over 200 votes. The
Prohibitionists worked hard and brought
out their full strength, but like the Demo-
Gratis, were ruled against by the judges.
The Irish voted sOlidly Democratic. There
was excitement and trouble along the
line of the Hooking Valley Railroad.
Many miners resisted the commands of
the Republican section masters to vote
the Republican ticket, but the majority
OF the miners were taken to the polls like
droves of hogs, and only the Republican
ballots were given them. They had to
vote Republican tickets.
The Republicans had loads of money,
and used it literally. No countryman
voted until he had first verified the rumor
as to how much his vote would bring.
n in, hrE OTrVs
teenth district paid from SO to $40 for
votes. The feeling was intense, the
weather was fine, and a large vote was
pOlled.
