Numbers of farmers in the district
west of YOrkvlle which was visited by
a severe hail storm on Thursday night
of last week are now OF the opinion
that they will make at least a part Of
crop on the lands that suffered greatly
from hail damage. Many stalks of cot
ton and corn that were beaten down
and bruised are now showing signs OF
life. While the hail damage in that
section is said to be great, still 1t could
have been worse in most instances in
the opinion OF those who have closely
examined the fields visited by hail.
That there would have been at least
two more candidates in the field for
house of representatives from York
county, making the total ten instead
of eight If they had been able to fork
up the necessary S25 entrance fee Is
the information that comes from a
reliable source. At least one Cf these
two would-be candidates made strenu-
Gus efforts to borrow the $25 from
several people but without success, the
result being that he was unable to hurl
his top piece into the ring.
Hugh G.. Brown, candidate for re-

that he wishes he could make public

recalled the supervisor the other day,
II tried to make public speech; but
I made such a poor go Of 1t that
have never had the nerve to try 1t
again"
Unless there is a decided pickup
in the cotton seed oil market within
the next few weeks, the prospect is
that the buyers will not be able to pay
the farmers more than 30 cents a bu-
shell for cotton seed this fall in the
opinion of a couple of well posted cot
ton seed oil men. The price offered
for cotton seed oil Is now very low and
there is little indication that there IS
going to be any rise in the market IN
the near future.

nection are doing everything that they
can to beat him in Lee.
