OLEOMARGARINE AND NEWS. Col. Pat Roche has organized a new club and will have its secretary j apply for a charter this week. The principal place of business of the club isthe office of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, and the business of the club is to keep up with all news actual and prospective. The place of business and the object suggested the ! the name, The Oleomargarine and News Club, which Col. Roche immediately bestowed on his creation. 1 The numberof members that it has limited by the number of chairs inj the office of the Oil Mill. The for-j1 tunate individuals who get a chair.1 are, Col. Roche himself, Hamilton 1 Stevenson, James Robert Woodhurst,] Bill Cason and James W. Martin. Forj ! the present Col. Roche has appointed himself president of the club, and James W. Martin is acting as secre-J tary. The club meets every night, so Col.j Roche told us Sunday night whenj we passed. We are invited to pass, that way on the road to the post of-1 fice, and "it will not be necessary to hire a man to hunt up the news," as the combined newsgathering talents' of the members enables the president to announce "whose cow will soon be giving milk, and how many pups J there are in the last litter," as we were further informed. We learned, too, that Col. Wood-' hurst is about to be run out of Fort Pickens. Since he moved over on that side he has been studying cow-trading under Roger Simpson and Dock ( Williams. Col. Roche tells us that he1 has proved such an apt scholar that| he has swindled all the unsuspecting j people in our most noted suburb, and f that they are ready to get rid of him. j" "If a band of Gypsies were to come " through here now," says Col. Roche,! "and Jim Robert were to get to trading with them, the county wouid have ^ to pay their way out, or put tneni in the poor house. The Press and Banner lias estab- t lished a good reputation with the j club members as an advertising me-! t dium. Col. Roche advises us that he , has just now learned how to sell any-' c thing he wants to sell. The mule , which his brother Jim gave him so j that ^he would not have to shoot it i was sold recently to a Ft. Pickens p rubber-tire farmer for a hundred g dollars, so member Woodhurst stated. c As soon as the charter comes, the'q doors of the club will be opened for c desirable members, ine cnarter mem- f bers will continue to occupy the ( chairs and will be something like c "preferred stockholders," but there , will be standing room in front, and -] anyone who has the correct amount of dues, and who knows now to pick J up news and tell it after he has heard ? it will be admitted to membership. : 1 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA j COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE ! | TROBATE COURT. !. . i Citation for Leters of Administration ( By J.
