REV. w. B. AULL's NOMINATION
For Postmaster at Walhalla has Been
Confirmed by Senate.

Yesterday about noon Rev. w. 3.
Aull received a telegram from Con-
gressman f. H. Dominick sta sing
that his nomination as postmaster at
Walhalla had been confirmed This
will mean, 1t Is supposed, that the
postoffice here will change hands Oil
or about July 1st, as there are nu-
merous details that will have to be
completed before the transfer can be
made.
Mr.. Aull will succeed N. l.. FAINT,
who has been postmaster here for a
number Of years, and has been one
Of the best and most capable officials
who have ever held the office. The
service has been greatly improved
under his administration, and the
Walhalla office ranks as one Of the
best kept and most progressive Offices
in its class.
Mr.. AulI has at times rendered
service in tho postoffice here as a
special employee, and the duties will
not be entirely new to him, though
his experience has not been exten-

Shall Oconee Havo a Fair?

1T seems that all nearby counties
have county fairs, and with the great
diversity Of agriculture possible in
Oconee, that we should have one
also. Agriculture will be more d.
versified than ever with the coming
of the boil weevil, and that Is one
Of the strong points about fairs
the actual products Of the region
may be SEEN BY ALL.
If action on the matter Of having
fair Is taken in time there are plen-
ty Of products for exhibition.
j. s. Abbott, of Walhalla Route /,
has done some wonderful breeding
work, and has fine stallion to ex-
hibit.
Coke s. Campbell, Of Seneca Route
Q, has a fine herd Of registered Hol-
stein cattle which would also look
good on exhibition.
l. Fate Lee, Of Walhalla Route 1,
has an "All-Pure-Bred Farm" hav-
ing nothing put pure-bred Jersey
COWS, a pure-bred bull, pure-bred
hogs. pure-bred chickens, and posi-
bly, the hound dogs are pure-bred.
Many other farmers in the county
have fine pure-bred animals and also
somo wonderful crops to exhibit
WHICH TOWN will work for the
fair? There should be building
guaranteed the exhibitors, suitable
livestock pavilions or arrangements,
and guaranty Of sufficient prizes to
be awarded winners in each depart
ment.
In the matter Of amusement there
might be football game arranged.
A carnival may not be needed, as
there may not be that much extra
money to spend this fall

Do You Want Peas?

Those persons wishing to buy some
Clay peas now for sowing may group
orders through the County Agent at

several hundred bushels for sale at
ssas6O sRer sBWahel Ehe freight witl
BE about 80 cents per 'bushel, MAX
ing the delivered cost about $3.50
per bushal. Any person wanting
these peas should make check pay
able to "Cowpeas Account" Bank of
Walhalla, enclosing check with or
der for the full amount. This should
be done at once. More peas should
be sown this year than ever before.

" WeeviIs Found So Far.

Only a few genuine boil weevils
havsgbeen found in the cotton fields
80 fAE insofar as the County Agent
has sheen able to ascertain. Two
wete8ound on cotton plants about
tw0$ weeks ago by S. L. Brown and
q faWTby w. L.. Werner. One or two
fafmSs who have reported boil wee-
wills evidently had mistaken the null
lein Yeevil for the boil weevil.
ThHfaulty condition Of the cotton
plshta observed recently has been
caAssH more by cool, wet weather
than Hnything else.
ThA cotton plants should be in
spectHN for boil weevils, as the adult
weAyn which remain over winter
areSn nHw feeding on the tender buds
Of thAssmall cotton plants until the
squarAs begin to put on. Only a
sma1inumber will be found until
afterSquares have put on. for the

 Rescue parties, equipped with safe ty lamps, finally found him, a ner- cous wreck.
