Fine Patch Of Oats.
Mr. ]. M. Campbell Of Tirzah, has a
patch Of oats that is beginning to at
tract the interested attention Of the
people round. about. There Is just an
acre in the patch. II Is an acre with
which Mr.. Campbelps son, Alexander,
entered the corn club contest last year.
Because Of the dry weather and other
drawbacks the corn yield was nothing
like 1t should have been: but last fall
the ground was thoroughly prepared
and seeded to oats. Six bushels were
sown. The oats are now about knee
dogs back" OF course the crop has to
run the gauntlet of many trials yet;
but good farmers Of the vicinity say
that with reasonably favorable seasons
the yield should be at least 100 bushels.
After the County Chairman.
Fort Mill Times: The absence In
York county newspapers during the
last week of an official call for the
IN nf narnnnrQ
clubs Of the county on the 9th, inst,
has been noted and commented upon
in terms rather uncomplimentary to
the county chairman by a number Of
citizens who are interested in the con-
duct Of the party's affairs. AS a
reasonable proposition, 1t would seem
THAT the Democrats Of the county
should have been informed officially
last week whether the clubs are ex-
pected to meet next Saturday and, II
so, what business Is to be transacted
at the meetings. In this connection.
complaint has been made to the end
that If the time of the county chair
man Is so taken up with private af-
fairs or otherwise that he cannot give
the duties of the chairmanship the at
tention necessary to conduct the Of
flee as most other county chairmen
Throughout the state do. he should re-
sign or, at least, not offer for re-elec-
ton. The statement that the York
county chairman has not given cause
for complaint over the Indifferent
way in which he has attended to the
business Of his office cannot be truth
fully made.
New Wrinkle In Stamps.
What are stamp coils? Probably
few Yorkville patrons Of the mails
could answer this question satisfac-
torily. The use of stamp coils in
other portions Of the country, how
ever, appears to be on the increase,
for the Charleston office is in receipt Of
instructions. from the department at
Washington giving notice Of an in
crease in the variety Of these coils to
be now offered to all who desire to
procure them from this or any other
postoffice in the country. Stamp coils
are merely rolls Of stamps, wound up
like tape. They are perforated and
have the sticky stuff on the back, just
like all other stamps. but the beauty
of the arrangement lies principally In
the fact that $40 worth of stamps may
be carried in a small pocket with per-
feet ease, and furthermore, the roll
being only the thickness Of one stamp
the mass can be welded readily and
handily I'm the stamping of large
bulk Of letters or other mail matter.
Stamp coils cost from three to six
cents each. in addition to the regular
cost of the stamps Hitherto the
stamp coils have been sold in only the
two-cent kind. but the order recently
issued gives notice that they may
now be procured In one-cent, two
cent, three cent and four-cent varie-
ties. The coils are made in two Sizes
containing 500 and 1000 stamps.
Very few Of them so far have been
used in Yorkville. 1t Is stated, proba-
bly, through the unfamiliarity Of local
patrons with this innovation.
