81 predict that the farmers OF
York county will make 30 per
cent as much cotton and as much
corn as they did last year, said

Monday, sa!csday for Septem-
Der, brought quite number OF
horsetraders TO town carrying
with them a large number OF
horses and mules, ranging from
plugs" to "good uns." Most of
the traders were looking for
"boot' in connection with trades

Several members of the sect
known as the "Holy Rollers, -
who are said to be more or less
numerous III the BlairSville sec
ton, did not get to vote in the
first primary ELECTION for the rea-
son that they refused to take the
oath required of voters. Their
argument was that it is contrary
TO their religion TO swear or take
al oath, and rather than comply
with that requirement they stay
ed away from the polling pre-
cinct at Blairsville.
Some of the voters have an
idea ,that because Of the number
on the ticket there is some way
Of conecting them with the candi-
dates for whom they vote. There
is nothing to that. The number
does not serve any other purpose
than to keep track> of the tickets
used. The number is on the cou-
pon only and not on the ticket,
and when the coupon is torn off
before the deposit Of the ticket in
he box, there is no means. by
which the ticket can be identified
again. -.-. -

Army overcoats worn by so
many young men during 1917-1S
and 1919 appear to have gone
out Of style entirely. A man who
has been living at one OF the local
mills and who intends leaving the
State offered most of his house
hold and personal belongings at
auction on the court house lawn
Monday. Most of the property
sold readily, although none of it
brought anything like It's value.
However, when the army over
coat was offered for sale not
single bid was offered, although
the auctioneer cried it Justify.
The result was. that the owner
had to carry it with him.
Two tracts, of land and timber
rights in third tract were sold
