' ?o- (
Yesterday wa^ truly a Democrat- |
ic day, not only in this County, but c
in the State and Nation. In. New ;
York the. Democrats swept til; State, ,
\ : while in^ Ohio it looks like they may "J
' have won even in that State. How- ,,
ever, Ohio is s'till in doubt. While [
M - ' 'Congress will remain Republican it ,
r? will be with a very mmh reduced .
majority. * J
-ts to County affairs, and tllat is j
u r.ere wo are most interested, sne j
* swings "back solidly in the Demo- j
cratic column, every office briny fill- ,
od by Democrats for the next two
years. Everything passed otf quietly, ?
though there was some of the best ,
work done we have ever seen, as ,
evidenced" by {Hi fact that old, rock ,
ribbed Republican EaBt Rotfboro and
Holloways Went Democratic. j
The voters given heje are not of
? ficial, but will be very near cprrect
when the official count'is taken. We t
give only the majorities', but will give ^
a fuller report in our next issue: j

JO-BP MARKET
MORE ACTIVE
I any Farmers of the Asso. Delivering
Now.
Last week was a gcod week with
ie Co-operative 'Marketing Associaion
being probably the best week of
jc season. The Association members
avc not been rushing their tobacco
it the market but .from now on you
'ill probably see ti'e Co-op houses
all to overflowing. It is impossible
ar tis to tell what prides are beinlg
aid at the Assoc into n houses, for
lay w'ill not know what they have
veraged until* the*-aeascn has closed
nd the tobacco sold. However, there .
i. one thing.ve;y positive, and tHat
i. .the members are highly pleased
ith the workings of the-Association.
Though forts of the Associaon
much tobacco will be handled
n this market which otherwise
btilS Trcve gone elsewhere.
A PROGRESSIVE. SECTION.
We thought we were >familiar-with
Imost eveTy foot" of this good Coun7,
but a few days ago we drove out
jto the country, passed by the proressfve;
Bushy Fork High School
nd on towards tHe Old Hester Store
action. If you have not been through
Hat immediate section very recently
ou will hardly recognize it. On evry
hand you will find handsome new
omei, and others on the way, well
ept* lawns, witK an abundance of -' *
lowers, and more cattle we believe
> tHe farm than any section of the
-ounty-w That section has long been'
nown for its fine tobacco, but toacco
is n6t the only thing they *!?'. . ?
aising. Just drive out that way, the
oads arc excellent and the people
re among the fn est on earth:
richlaSds farms.
A few days since we drove oat to
he Richland Farms to see a potato
touse which ? the proprietor, Mr. W.
I. Blalock, had completed. The . House
s built after the most modern fash)n
and, best"of all, it was pretty well
jlled with potatoes which he was
uring. This is the proper mode for;
aving sweet potatoes and this wine
wHin they are bringing fancy
iriices Mr. Blalock will' have some of
he very best with which to supply
he market, rie harvesied 170 bush- ??^
Is, and we.doubt if he had an acre Vf
land wWicH will pay him better.
AN ENORMOUS YIELD.
The office was honored by a visit
rom Mrs.. Ethel Oakley of Tifnberake
a few days since,'and she was
elling us of a very unusual yield of .1
eas. A pea vine came up in the field
f tobacco and she cultivated it-very
^refully witW the result tnat she ?
ticked from this one vine 460 dry
tods of peas. The vir\e was very 4 ^
arge, almost as large as her wrist,
nth some of the "pods ten inches
ong. Now, this is some - story, but
* /A-l.l niftnc U'rtrnon

md besides her word she assured us
hat theTe were a number of witnesss
as to this wonderful yield.
\ THE CO-OP'MEETING FRIDAY.
In the Co-operative meeting last
Friday there seemed to be a inisinerpretation
of whut I set out to say
and I desisted) of which I shall not
ittefnpt here to discuss but will say
hat tb3 pttrties that I referred to
