Oats and Oats and Oats.
The short cotton crop Of this year has
given 9 wonderful impetus to the sowing
of oats in our county, and we can wish for
nothing better than that the spirit may
oe kept up. There is no more beautiful
light than green oat fields, and in addi ton
% the qualification to the eye these ensure
inc stock-cattle. horses and Sheppard
maze the cotton crop surplus. The oat
owing ls still going on and we hope it
nay be continued until Edgefeld becomes
. veritable Emerald Isle of oats, barley,
ye and wheat.
Col. Folks Bills.
The bill introduced in the legislature by
representative Folk, requiring the Clerk
i the Supreme Court to send down 10 the
court below all decisions free Of charge,
'ught to pass, as also the bill TO reduce
he fee for dieting prisoners from 35 to 25
ents per diem. The bill to change the
erm Of all County officere from two to
our years, is Of too much consequence to
'e passed at this session, or before a full
discussion by the people. We have found {
northern officers much more obliglng
nd efficient than those with long term ]
Indeed they do say that an officer for q
hort term is almost as polite and obliging
0 the people as an aapirant. There are
ther bills offered by Col. Folk, which will
9 found in another column.
