Implicit Faifli in Abbeville.
1 Messrs. P. Rosenberg & Co. have implicit
faith in the town or Abbeville. Some time
ago they bought three stores on the Public
k Square, paying a liberal price for them, and
on one of them they spent some two thousand
dollars. Last Fall they bousrht un Im'
niense stock of goods before the failure in the
crops. Having faith, first, in themselves and
their goods; second, in the ability of the people
to buy all the goods which they had
! brought on, if they only knew of their stock,
and the priccsat which they could and would
f sell them; third, believinc that a judicious
expenditure of a little money in printer's ink
would carry the information to purchasers,
they put a big advertisement in the Prats and
Banner. As a result, they brought buyers
i from every section of tho county, who bought
(car loads of goods from the Messrs. P. Rosenberg
& Co.
So well pleased were their customers that
this firm nas laid in another immense stock,
which they propose to advertise next week,
and sell at prices so low that all who come
will be pleased.
The possibilities of Abbeville are great, and
we hope to see among all of our business men
' the display of that energy and business tact
which will at least bring to us the trade to
which we are legitimately entitled to.
A People's Civilization.
We have a faint recollection of having
heard someone say something to the effect
that the public roads are an index to the clvi
lllzation of a people. If this be true the civillzation
of this people are taking an upward
bound. The roads are being worked, and newroutes
for old roads are being surveyed. New
bridges are being built and new roads are being
opened.
We think flowers are as good an index to
' culture and refinement as are public roads to
civilization. Mr. DuPre will help furnish
both indexes. He works the roads and grows
the most splendid flowers that ever adorned
r\ field or garden, or certilied to the culture and
refinement of any people, Ilis hot house is
, now tilled with the most splendid flowers that
ever delighted the vision of maiden's cultivated
taste or commanded the admiration ol
her less aesthetic brother.
Call on Mr. DuPre, and for a song you can
get flowers that will raise in the scales of culture
and refinement, and then take your
best beloved to drive on some of his public
roads and improve your civilization, ltoads
and flowers. vVhat more!
' The Literary Club.
The Abbeville Literary Club met last Friday
night at the house of S^r-A. W. Smith. Mr.
A. W. Smith was chairman, and Mr. F. 15.

Club. Many members have done well when
their time come to write, but Mr. Cason excelled
them all. The members were so well
i pleased, that they passed a resolution asking
Mr. Cason to furnish the copy of it to the
Preu and Banner for publication. The copy
is now In the hands of the printer, and will
appear next week.
I We are late In noting the death of Captain
Dawson. Although he was killed Tuesday

give more attention to corn and they would
Be more prosperous and more independent of
the north-west. The cotton factory at Greenwood
Is now assured. No doubt, it will help
build up the town. We hope the stock holders
will never have cause to regret their Investment.
Mr. Thomas D. Jones, of Greenwood, will

Hints About llor<ie<t.
It costs more to keep a poor liorso than it
does to keep a good one, Change the feed for
your horses often enough to qiake them relish
it. Improper feeding is the cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among horses.
Kvery time you worry your horses you shorten
their lives and days of usefulness. Sweat
and dust cause the horse's shoulders to gall.
So do jjoor, ill-fitting collars. The temperature
of water for horses is not so much an object
as the purity of it. While it Is best to
| have the water cool, it Is more Important to
I have It free from all impurities. Mares In
foal should have exercise and moderate work,
and under no circumstances should they be
subjected to harsh treatment, nor should they
ever be allowed to go where they would be In
danger of being frightened. The horse which
can plow an acre while another horse is plowing
half an acre, or that which can carry
a lo:ul of passengers ten miles while another
is going five, independent of ail considerations
of amusement, taste, or what Is called
fancy, is absolutely worth twice as ranch to
the owner as the other. Affection can not be
pounded In. Kind treatment insure the affection
of an animal, while rough treatment is
sure to cause it hatied. it isalike dangerous
to oilier horses and men to spare the life of a
slandered horse. Glanders Is a highly contagious,
incurable disease, and as a rule fatal In
the human subject. When horses are suffering
from the bites of flies or stings of other
insects, sponge the parts that can not bo protected
by nets with water in which insect powder
has been mixed?a tablespoonful to two
gallons of water. Of two colts similar in disposition
and sense, one may develop to a
steady and valuable family horse, while the
other may bo vicious, treacherous, and unsafe
?all because of a difference in the men handling
them.?Medical Classic*.

them.
At a recent farmers' institute at Batavia,
New York. Prof. E. S. Goff, of the Slate Agricultural
Station, Geneva, gave a talk on potatoes,
Illustrated with diagrams. For a century
or more, New York has been known as
the Empire State. It is also entitled to the
name Potato State. One-sixth of all the potatoes
produced in the United States are
grown In New York. How shall we prepare
the seed? Shall wo cut it, and Into how
many pieces? In 1883 he commenced a series
of experiments. In 1SS3, from whole tubers
hegrewona plat of one-twentieth of an acre
185 pounds; from seed cut In two pieces 181
pounds, and from single eyes 137 pounds. In
18S4 from whole 320 pounds, from halves 278
and from quarters 22f), from single eyes 172
bushels per acre. These experiments repeated
in subsequent years showed similar results,
teaching us that whole tubers or large
pieces produced better crops than small pieces
or slugle eyes.
Are email, whole potatoes as good for seed
as large? In one experiment tubers tho size
of hen's eggs produced 1C5 bushels; size of
black walnuts 155 and the size of hickory
nuts 115. In an another experiment tubers
the size of hen's eegs 110, of black walnuts 73, of
hickory nuts 15. This would seem to indicate
that large tubers whole, are better than
small. Excessively large tubers show no
profit over large.
What partof thotuberwlll give beat yields?
The results of three years' experiments combined,
show following results: Seed end 138;
center 173; stem end 119. When cut Into two
pieces, the seed ena win yiem mosu me
seed end will sprout first, grow firstand seem
most vigorous.
Can we make anything by selecting our
seed as with corn? It Is a question whether
onr failing to do so may not be a cause of potatoes
running out. In 1881 they dug their
potatoes keeping the contentR of every hill
separate. Picked out the most productive
and least productive bills, selected best of
each and planted. The yield, per eye, was 89U
per hundred eyes from seed or largo hill ana
G9forsmull hills. The next year, following
the same course, result the same, and the
smallest tuber from large hills produced
more than largest from small hills. Every
experiment from a great number varieties
resulted similarly. By selection of our tubers
from largest hills will gain in crop. Potatoes
are buds; will using stronger buds in trees
and planis produce stronger growth?
Is anything gained by cutting? A certain
weight out of a large potato and same weight
of small In ISSG, the whole tuber produced
best results. In 1887 the cutting done in
March, yielded best out the total was less.
His conclusion; it makes but little diflerence
whether cut or not. A slightly larger yield of
small potatoes In cut, but not of merchantable
ones. Grows his potatoes three and onehalf
feeVapaTt by one and oue-half of two
feetrin rows. In answer to questions: Plats
one-twentieth of an acre. Practices level culture,
seed pretty deep?three or four incheslatter
better than former. Would cut lengthwise.
Up to ten days there seemed to be no
loss In vigor by cutting before planting; alter
that they lost. Drying the pieces did not
cause the potatoes to ripen earlier. Aunt
