The children deserve great credit for the performance, having arranged it without any asslstrncc. They had quite an audience, aud judging from the laughing they must have enjoyed tt. The fame and value of Alex. Zachary & Sons garden seeds are so widespread that other seedinen have adopted his braDd to add to the sales and popularity of their produce. This firm sold great, ouantitUs of their seeds at Abbeville last Monday. The people came In all directions and they were busy dealing out good seeds all day. They will be In Newberry next Saturday and will be at Laurens on Monday or Tuesday. Let the gardeners of these localities not forget the fact, and then supply themselves with all needed seeds. We ask attention to the letter of Mr. A. M. Aiken which uppears in this issueof the Press and Banner. It was sent here two weeks ago. It came on Tuesday evening?too late to get in the paper that week. By an oversight it did not appear last week. Only thlsand nothing more. While on this subject we would ask correspondents who write articles, other than news items, to send them in as early as possible. When all wait until Monday or Tuesday evening, it is Impossible for us to get them all In the paper on Wednesday. The dress Mrs. President Harrisou wore to the innugural ball was entirely American.

The colored people had a "Harrison Ball" in Knox's Hall last, night, which is said to have been the most tony affair of the kind, that they have ever had in Abbeville. The luuslc, the dancing, the dresses, and every, thing else conuected with it, we presume was in Harmony vviUi ttic inauguration ball at Washington. The Presbyterian elder who was inaugurated President will no doubt appreciate the dance which was given in his lionor. Mr. 1). W.

An offer of$500 for the largest yield of corn on one acre has been made by the A merican Agriculturist,?to which S500 will be added by the State departmentof agriculture, If wen by a South Carolinian. We nope some of our enterprising farmers in Abbeville will compete for the prize,?we have the land, climate and our farmers the pluck. From a private note we learn that Mr. D. G. Phillips, of Louisville, Ga., who recently left Princeton Seminary on the advice of his physician. is rapidly regaining his health and flesh,on his father's farm, which be has taken charge ot and is ably managing. From the same source wo learn that Miss Mattie Phillips, who graduated In the Due West Female College with honors, a few years ago, has charge of a flourishing school of 47 pupils at Ebenezer, Ga. Mr. W. L. Miller, of the Abbeville Bar, according to appointment, delivered his lecture at the Female College on Friday night. He had a good audience. The speaker toon ior Ills subject: The young women of the South. Mr. Miller said that he was "no stranger in this place." He had been peppered here vigorously on numerous occasion b. Had played thimble with the girls and he expected that 11 he was here he would like to play thimble again with them. A number of playful allusions like this brought frequent applause. The speaker then launched outon his subject, paying a handsome eulogium first to the women of the Revolution and then to the women of the I^ost Cause. He divided his subject. 1st. Right speaking. 2nd. Right acting on the part of our women. Mr. Miller spoke with much animation, introducing fine Illustrations through his lecture?closing with a very apt one indeed.

The other night as he lay upon his bed, he dreamed he could fly. He wished however to prove the thing before credible witnesses. Getting Dr. Grier, Dr. W. L. Pressly and one other?he caunot now remember who?he went up to Erskine College and flew up, in their presence on top of ihe College, with great ease. The thing spread over the State and he was telegraphed to to comedown to Columbia. In company with Mr. J. D. Brownlee, he went down. They were standing on the streets of Columbia and the crowd wanted to bet 85,0)0 against S500 that the Major couldn't fly across the street. A lriend of his took the proposition ud. The Major lilted himself, flopped bis wings and gently lighted on the other side. The So,000 was paid over. The friend sltpped 8500 Into his pocket and hauded over S1.500 to Major Nance. This was doing pretty well, but high honors were still awaiting him. The telegraph flashed the news over the United States. A telegram came from Washington, D. C., "Come on to this city." The Major and his parly arrived there during the inauguration of Harrison and was given a prominent seat on the platform. At the close of the exercises this now famous personage was called on for a speech. He responded, saylDg that he was well pleased with the inauguration, passed a compliment on Harrison and concluded by saving that as he (Harrison) was of good Virginia stock originally, he doubted not but that the President would solve the "negro problem" to the satisfaction of all. (Tremendous applause.) And now In the presenceof the great multitude he flew from point to point and as the sole of his foot rested upon the dome of the capitol he woke and lo! it was a dream. Prophets are now In demand to interpret the dream. Two solutions have been presented. The first is that Major Nance will finally reach the position 01 congressman ana win go on to Washington. In support of this view it is culled to m'nd that Major Nance's father was once Congressman. Tho second solution is that it means a break in the Solid South, and that new ideas from this section is to reach Washington sooner or laler. This is substantially the dream as related to us by Major Nance in the presence of Col. J. W. Power. R. S. G. Echoes from the Valley Town. Mt. Carmkl, S. C., March 1.1889.

IT IS THE MOST NUTRITIOUS OF ALL CULTIVATED FORAGE CROPS. ...+ It Requires Careful Treatment, but Pays Hotter Than any Oilier I*lant ?Every Owner of Stock .Should Have It. Cotlon Plant. I wish to plant an aero of Lucerne, and would be glad if you would publish In next Issue of The Cotton Plant a piece about the planting, cultivating and fertilizing ol Lucerne.?J. K. H. Lucerne is the most nutritious of all cultivated forage crops, and its product per acre is greater than that of any of the grasses. In view of these two facts it is a singular thing that it is not generally grown by the farmers of the South, accounted for only by a general want of knowledge of Its value. As a nutritious plant for all kinds ol slock, Including poultry. It stands at the head of the list, containing all the elements of food in almost perfect proportions. It Is a splendid milk and butter producer, is an excellent food for horses and mules, during the feeding of which only a half or third ration of grain is necessary ; and for hogs it is superior to clover or other green feed, containing as it does a plenteous proportion of fat producing elements. It contains also a large per centage of albuinenoid principles, which support and develop the muscles of animals and promote rapid and healthy growth. From four to five tons of most excellent Lucerne Hay can be grown on an acre In a season, the crop reaching its heaviest yields after the second and third years. Its greatest val ue, however, is as green food, and should he allowed to wilt one day before use. It should be cut immediately before the blossoms open, as it becomes fibrous and woody soon after that stage, and consequently less digestible. SOWING AND CULTIVATION, Lucerne being a perennial plant it will pay to take the greatest and most expensive pains with it at the start. In fact it will not respond to anything short of the best preparation and fertilization. The soil should be already rich. No amount of manure applied to Soor land will suffice, as the Lucerne must avean abundance oi very soluble and immediately available plant food when young. I It is best, therefore, to make the soil thoroughly rich first, and then sow the seed. A matter of very great importance, too. is to have the land free of the seeds oi weeds and : grass, as these will easily stride ahead of the young and delicate Lucerne plants, and kill them out before they can acquire much i growth of root. It is better, therefore, to pre- 1 cede Lucerne with clean cultivation and high j manuring with stable manure that is thor- ' ougbly rotted and with fertilizers that con- I taiuagreat deal of phosphoric acid, potash and lime. Lucerne does not require an am- 1 moniated fertilizer, since it is known to absorb more ammonia from the atmosphere ' than any other plant. Following clean culti- 1 vatlan and lavish manuring, Lucerne, if Rown 1 broadcast, should be sown early in Septem- < ber after the most thorough pulverization of J the soli. The land most suitable for it, how- 1 ever, as above suggested?that already rich 1 and mellow?will not require expensive prep- < aratlon. The best soil for it is a rich, deep, ( loam?a loam being a soil containing about ' ? per cent. orsana. surrciay9, ana especially such as have a very compact waxy subsoil are Dot best for Lucerne, considering the longevity of the plant and the great depth to which Its roots extend, sometimes 8 to 10 feet or more in n porous soil, and rarely less than two feet. Whatever the class of the soil may be, it should be broken deeply and subsoiled, but the subsoil should only be stirred and not turned up. If sown in spring it is generally better to sow in drills 15 Inches apart, so as to admit of cultivation with the hoe, or even with the plow, in order to keep dowu weeds and grass. If the land Is clean and free of the seeds of these, however, it may be sown broadcast in spring as well as fall, the only reason for drilling being cultivation, as above ' mentioned. Mr. Alexander McBee, Jr., of Greenville, has a remarkably flne patch of Lucerne, with a.perfect stand, producing luxuriant cuttings three times a year, which was } sown broadcast In February. The time for the spring sowing of Lucerne is in February or March. During the first year the main oonsidoratlon should be the preservation of the crop?securing a permanent aud regular r stand. To do this it may be necessary to mow the crop before it is ripe enough for ordinary a cutting, in order to prevent the seeding of t weeds and grass, should such pests get a start I to the injury of the Lucerne. When mown t the Lucerne will soon start again, while many t of Its enemies will not. The exact course to pursue in questions like this must be decided a upon by the grower, who is on the spot and fc can judge for himself. Our judgment Is in fa- r vor of drilling the seed in spring planting, t ar.d working the crop until it gets a good F start, pulling out weeds and grass from among s the plants early. With a good stand in rows e w ui in Iijuuun oprtiv uuwiut nui w?vi iuv u entire soil the second year and the rows will r disappear. s From 15 to 20 pounds of seed is required to o sow an acre, the greater quantity for broad- t casting. In drilling by band there is great I danger or putting In more seed than is neces- li sary. In all cases the seed should bo lightly \ covered with the tooth harrow, brush or rake, s not more than a half Inch deep. The plants v are very delicate and tender at germination. C and If covered deeper than a half Inch many u of them will never push through. I Under good conditions and with favorable I seasons Lucerne may furnish a pood cutting li the first year, even sown In the spring, but. we 1 Iterate what is said above, that the chief con- 1 corn of the farmer during tit Is first year, should be the protection of the crop from its t natural enemies and lis permanent establish- \ ment in the soil. Once this accomplished Lu- t cerne will hold its own against the attacks of s weeds and grass, and will produce about three eood cuttings a year for twenty years or longer. The longevity of Lucerne is not fully set- 1 tied. The late Mr. Howard, of Georgia, gives It a life of ten or fifteen years, while Dr. Q Phares. of the Mississippi Agricultural College, tells of plats of it known to havo been '1 growing for over thirty-five years, without I any marks of decline. Considering the great value of Lucerne and J its permanency when once well established, ? tbere can be no question about lis profitableness. Every farmer ought to lmve a patch of It, If only the fourth of an acre. As it Is a f crop that demands the utmost care nt the V start It would be far better to begin with only a small plat and increase yearly than to un- i dertake a field of It without the conditions essential to Its successful culture. If the soil ^ Is at all disposed to remain wet and sobby after rains It should be well drained, as Lucerne / will not stand continued moisture. 1 Lucerne Is an aristocrat among plants and will not tolerate a common abode, common fare or careless treatment. But it pays well for Its living. . j The Worl<l-nu<lKet Company. Perhaps no enterprise of any Southern ^ newspaper has ever met with the favor that khas been accorded the latest plan of The World-Budget Company, of Charleston, 8. , C., for further extending the circulation of their three publications, The Daily World, l The Weekly World, and The Sunday Budget. The subscription prices are, respectively, seven dollars, two dollars and a hall, c and one dollar, per annum. The Weekly World and The Sunday j Budget are twelve-page (72 columns) papers, while The Daily Would consists of eight pages (18 columns) each day. All of the publications of The World-Budget Company are beautifully printed on good T paper from brand new typp, and are, conso- 1 quently, particularly legible. The plan referred to is this. On the first day 1 of July, of this year, The World-Budget Company will distribute the sura of two hun- ' dred and fifty dollars in cash to the seven 1 persons who sball have sent in. between Feb- * ruary 20,1889, and July 1, 1889, the largest j sums of money for subscriptions to either 1 nu AT.r. of their DiiblleiLtlons. thiiK nuttintr f persons In the country and city on precisely 1 the name footing In tnls novel competition. 1 At tirst sight it would oppear difficult to im- ' aglue how these enterprising Charleston pub- 1 Ushers can oxpect to "got their money bactc," 1 but the solution is not difficult to find. The premiums (which are divided into the 1 following amounts. S100, 850, 835, 823, $20, 815 and 85) will all be won by persons who probably will not have sent in, up to July 1, more \ than twenty or thirty dollars altogether. Therefore, people living in smaller villages, and hamlets will stand Just as good a chance i of wiunlng the premiums as will those who 1 live in the city. It Is even possible that the first prize of one hundred dollars may be won by someone, the total amount of whose subscrlptions may not exceed ten dollars. Therefore, no one should be deterred from trying. Everybody has some friends who will be willing to help them by their subscriptions, and themselves by getting one or more or the largest, handsomest, spiciest, "llvcst," newsiest and best newspapers in the cotton Stales.

Editor Press and Banner: While so many "Wheels," "Alliances" and oilier associations arc being formed, all ostensioly for the advancement of the interests of the farmer, I desire to sny a few words in behalf of the "Grange," at one time a flourishing organization in Abbeville county and but for the indifference and non-attendance at meetings ol' its membership, would still be a power and benefit to all connected. The Grange is not dead, it only sleeps, its precepts and teachings are not forgotten, nor discarded by ltaold members. You will never hear a man who has once affiliated with it speak In any manner, derogatory of Us work, Its declaration of principles, or of the benefits derived from association therewith, but the universal comment is, "The Orange l? a good thing. It Is the best organization the farmers have ever had." Though thoGrange Is dormant In this county. It Is active and working In other portions ol South Carolina, and its members derive all the benefits promised, intellectually, morally and financially. Local schools arc controlled through the Grange. In some sections a building known as the "Granga Hall" has been built, the first floor used an the school house, and the second floor for G range meetings. A Grange, in good standing, can effect betterarrangements In finance (when needed; than any community can do, not organized. Allrtw fndlvprf liiot. hArp fn mi II lustration of u Grange's credit In business circles. I am, and have been a member of the Grange at Greenwood for seventeen years, and while living there I was au agent for sale of fertilizers. I used to huy fertilizers for my own use, through :ny Grange, as I could do so cheaper than the company would allow an agent to sell it. even to himself. The Grange clubbed Its orders and its cash, or a Grange note ut 7 per cent., and ordered by ear loads at reduced rates, while my stock was to retail, and sell "on liens," to outsiders. But to return. In 1871! when there were fifteen active Granges in Abbeville county, there was less complaint among ttie farming community than there is to-day, find we had heavier burdens then to bear than we have now. Then, there was a solid farmer's organization existing, well disciplined and working underGrange rules. They met In council and talked over matters. Thought* were exchanged on various topics of interest to the Grange, whether It be the sowing of small grain, the cost of making a pound of cotton, the labor problem, or how to keep a horse fat on bought corn. (?) The fitness of candidates for office, and the management of county affairs, was not unfrequently discussed. Farmers now are too segregated. They need more to be brought in contact on business principles. Nothing like a "touch of the elbow," to drive away depression. They should meet together, talk together, work together, buy together, sell together and act together for mutual protection and advancement, and where better can these ends be attained than In their local Granges? A Grange in any commur ity properly conducted Is elevating, Instructive and beneficial l,o all connected, for within its doors are Laught honesty, fair dealing, morality and jharlty, and to add to its uoclal features, women are admitted as members. Financially, It advocates: "Pay as you. go." "Buy less ind sell more." "Buy where you can buy iheapest, and sell to the best ad vantage." It Antagonizes no other Interest whatever, but ;ndeavors to bring the farmer and the manu'acturer into mo?t direct and friendly relations by dispensing with a surplus of middlemen, to roduce expenses, and make Its memjers more self-sustaining. l Deueve, air. j^aiior, mai; a revival 01 ine jranges throughout the county, and the fornatlon of new ones, would liven up the spirts of our dpjected farmers and result in great food to all communities.
