M. Haddon dt Co. J Contributed Locals. On last Friday the white teachers of the county were Examined and on Saturday the negro teachers went through the ordeal. There was a large number of negro applicants for cert ideates. The quantits* of provisions hauled out of i town every Saturday is truly alarming, one horse wagons, two horse wagons, four horse wagons.ox teams, and all kinds of mules and horses pour into town every Saturday and carry off corn, meal, hay, flour, bacon, ?in fact, every thing that we should raise at home. The Alliance should make it its business to put a stop to this. It should require its members to raise these things at home. Let it be made a qualification of membership that the members raise their their own supplies at home. That would be a move in the rit^ht direction. The farmers would then be in a great measure independent of bagging trusts, railroads and high priced provisions. The main object of the alliance seems to be to reduce the price of provisions, but it appears to utterly ignore the fact that the way to accomplish this is by raising the said provisions at home None of these organizations go to work in the right way. They make a terrible war on shadows and pass by realities in a way that is wonderful, what would a farmer care about the price of corn, flour, potatoes or any other farm product if he had a supply of them, of his own raising, on his farm. The way for the Alliance to be a success is to go to work on the principle of "Take care of the cents and the dollars will take care of themselves." Let each farmer take care of himself by raising his own supplies, and there will be no trouble [ with the farmers as a whole. Let. them do this and then stock will not be kept poor nrAviclnnn from town. The wild onion is greatly on the Increase in this section. Cattle are very fond of It and when they eat it, their milk and butter is made useless, not only this, but it renders them unlit for beef. The onion gives the milk, buttor and flesh of the cattle, a very nauseating smell and taste that no palate can stand. There is no known method of destroying thts onion. When it takes possession of land't locates to stay. Every man who claims to have an interest in our town should show it by taking stock in the factory. A ?ood many farmers were planting col ton last week. Nothing is gained by planting before the 15th of April. Wait till the ground gets warm and then plant. Mr. Richard Wilson is a progressive farmer and he believes in raising colts, lie now has several. There is great demand for cotton seed and there are very few on hand to supply the demand. The people cannot, it seems, hold their seed. Tliey feel sorry for the seed mills and let them have them all. No doubt, cotton seed will advance very much in price. Western beef is sold by the butchers in Abbeville. The next step wiil be to order our vegetables from Chicago. The prevailing Idea seems to be to raise as little as possible at home and buy all we can from tue Northwest. Miss Alicc Clark one of Augusta's most charming citizens is expected in Abbeville to-day. she will be the guest of her friend Miss Bessie Norwood, Miss Ellen Parker rides one of the best horses in town. Mr. It. S. Galloway, of Due West was In town not long since and this writer was pleased to meet him. He Is one of the A'l citizens of Due West and well known as an able correspondent of the papers. A party of gentlemen from town went down to Island Ford on Little rirer to fish last week. They were gone twenty-four hours and fished diligently. Result; two small fish and about rtve very tired men. Mr, James T. Latimer, or JLiowndesviiie, is one among the best men of this county. The Episcopal church is being generally repaired. Mr. James Taggart Is bossing the work. During this month four persons In Abbeville ?t. ?? Kiacboflnocc ami there n.re IVIIIgmjujioaij.o <i good many more who desire to do likewise. There is a regular horse-sho-pitcbing-society among the negroes on the upper end of Washington street. These are the kind of negroes who complain of bard times. ABBEVILLE'S ATTRACTION. l)raw female Beauty ami I.ovclincfta to the Town. There are three attractions in Abbeville, we cun boast of Messrs. It. M. Iladdon and W. E. Hell's store, and Mr. J. F. C. DuPre'shot house. No town in our state keeps more beautiful , and better supply of goods than Messrs. iladdon aiid Bell. It Is here the old lady, , young lady Misses, and children can be suited in handsome or medium quality of all goods lhey can possibly wish lu dress or millinery. , None of jour young ladies^in town or country | should think of sending away for a bridal irousseau every article needed is kept in that , line. Handsome white silks and satins with , the orange wreath and veil. Trimmings to , inatcli every shade of goods, hats and bonnets to suit each dress, and most obliging dressmakers to make them up in latest style. Just i read the loug list of different materials in their advertisements the most fastidious taste ( can certainly be pleased. Long ago Mr. Fow- . ler opened the emporium of lashion in Abbe- 1 wille which is yet kept up and always will be by such enterprising merchants as Messrs. ilell and Haddon. But to do so our people ' support them, not send off toNew York,Baltimore and other places for goods kept here, I patronizing home enterprise Is the only way < to make a nourishing town. No where can i cheaper goods be found. A lady from Greenvillo bought a hat here two dollars cheaper i than in that city. A young lady from Columbia says goods are more reasonable here than there. ?TheseLarc facts about our stores; ii v..n don't believe what I have written come and see, you will not be disappointed. Per- ' sons living at a distance will always liave thicr orders promptly and faithfully attended lo.The ladies In each store have exquisite taste I and can be depended on. Judging from the i number cf boxes dally sent to the depot no | doubt many ladies have found out this reliable way of shopping if you cannot buy these merchants are always glad to show you their pretty goods. Now lor Mr. DuPre's hot-house, as we enter the door we exclaim Oh: what loveliness such beautiful flowers. Sweetest (fragrance ' they are flinging on the soft spring air! we are transplanted to a fairy den. Labor, per- * severance, skill and expense has ^accomplished all this. No one deserves more credit for beautifying our town thau Mr. DuPre by establishing this large hot-house and inducing others to cultivate them in small pits. It is certainly a great attraction to visitors every day wo notice crowds going in that direction. Like our stores and; other trades we must , patronize home. Why send to Vlcks and other places for flowers when here at your , own door you get potted plants of endless varieties for so little, Mr. DuPre's prices are reasonable and we are glad to say he has been successful in selling his plants here, and has L-1.1i\nnri mnnv tr> other nlncrs. We hODe each year lie will be al)le to add more and more to hi* present arrangement until Secession Hill will be the noted garden of South Carolina. There is no present with more sentiment or in better taste for a young man to send a young lady than a lovely bouquet of flowers. Tills you can always get from Mr. lhiPre or his obliging daughter Miss Mary. Summer Forage Crops. Cotton Plant. Tiie freshet of last year cut short the fodder crop in many sections of the State, and not a few farmers begin the summer's work with an insuflicient supply of forage. With many others, especially those who make cotton their principal dependence, this is the rule rather than the exception. With many others who have changedlocatlons, and any and all who find themselves "short" in the matter of "roughness'' to feed on during summer, the question of an early patch or acre of good and wholesome stock-feed is one of a good many dollars, and a good deal of time and labor. Earliness is an important factor in the value of such a patch. It is worth as many dollars and cents as it will curtail the buying of stuff to feed on. What bettor thing can be done, then, than to put In a good patch ol crop that will come in early, cut down expenses, and save time and labor to current work, as well as to prove more beneficial to the health of all stocls? German millet does better sown early than late. In April is a good time tosow. On good land it will mako one royal cutting, and be ready for the scythe in sixty days from the time of sowing. It should be mowed or cradled very soon after the blossom; is easily cured, and makes a sweet and nutritious hay, very palatable to all stock. A peck of seed Is sufficient to sow an acre. Tholand should be well broken and harrowed first, the seed sown broadcast and harrowed In. Plowing in will cover many of the seeds too deeply. Milomaize, Dhouracorn, Pearl millet, Kaffir corn, Early Amber cane, and like crops, all come in early for green food. These should be planted in rows three to four foet apart, ? . on of* In tho rnvo On#* aiiu eimi ireu ium?a IIJJU, t ... . or two good workings will bring: them iuto luxuriant growth, and an abundance of good, green food is the result. Pearl millet, sometimes called Cat-Tail millet, or Horse millet has a drastic effect when fed fresh. It should be wilted or half cured before feeding. Only a small, rich patch of any one of these crops goes a long way in feeding. All, except German millet, will afford several cuttings during summer, and prove profitable. Don't neglect this part of your programme in the rush of spring work. It will pay better than I the same Jand in cotton or corn. It is the plow-horses vegetable garden, and he needs Its products as greatly as his master does his similar truck.

It is probable that the storm would have come as it did if there had been no ships or other vessels in the harbor ; or if the vessels had been manned with missionaries and laden with Bibles. This much God did, or permitted to come to pass according to the laws which govern in the realm of matter under curse on account of sin, as is the case with this world. The presence of warships with their crews and officers was the will and work of men?moral agents. They were there of their own accord or by previously and voluntarily assumed obligations. They might have been elsewhere had they so chosen. The men and means were there through A of Arm woe litlillilll j uiiu iuv; oiv/i ui iimu there in the course of natural laws. What brought or who sent these ships and men to Samoa? They were the representatives or agents of the three most enlightened nations of the world?so it may be said that England, Germany and the United States were present in the persons of their respective representatives. Before and since the disaster the attention of these three nations with that of their neighbors has been centered on Samoa and the men-of-war?waiting to see what would take place. The lack of keeping faith and the oppreasion of the natives of the islands by the Germans is accepted generally, we think, in the United States as the reason for the men-of-war from Eng land and America casting anclior m Samoan waters. How far these charges agaiust Germany or rather against resident avaricious Germans who may have misrepresented Fader-land, the English and Americans on the ground or on the water, with the Samoans know best. The approaching Conference in Berlin, it is hoped, will result in a sound, peaceful and lasting understanding between the three governments concerned, and also in the restoration of justice, order and peace throughout the Samoan Islands. All this can be done if wisdom be permitted to forestall the weapons of war. But to return to the threatening attitude of the men-of-war in the harbor of Samoa, March 15. "The Lord who hath his way in the whirlwind, and in i!- - /Incf nf ivlinon fnnf tne siurm aim iuc uuav ?. are the clouds," (Kahuna) seemed, in the disaster, to say to these intelligent and professedly Christian governments, "Your men-of-war is not the way for Christian nations to settle this or any other dispute, and, since you force me to the rough manner of deciding questions, I will take you on| your own grounds but, taking sides with none but against any and all who resort to carnal weapons to settle disputes, I will 'rebuke' your warlike movements with a storm, even as I did once 'break the sbips of Tarshish with an East wind,'that you may settle your quarrels, if not on the high ground of Christianity, then by arbitration." As Paul delivered the incorrigible Hymeneus and Alexander unto Satan that they might learn not to blaspheme, so the Lord delivers warring nations over to Satan or to each other that they may learn at heavy cost of blood and treasure that wisdom is better than weapons of war.

Vernon wharf the place presents a pleasing scene, even were it not an object of so much interest by haviug been the home of Washington. It ia situated in a pretty grove on a high . bank of the river, fifteen miles below this city. It would be very easy to recognize the place by the many pictures which every one has seen. The place is owned by the Mt. Vernon Association, each State of the Association being in charge of a room. Soutli Carolina has the dining-room, which opens into the main hallway, and it will compare favorably with any room in the house. By the side of the dining room is the sitting room, in charge of Georgia, and In the hall between the two hangs the key of the old Baatile, it having been presented to Washington. Much of the household goods has been restored. Some things worthy of mention are the bed on which Washington died, and the room which La- > Fayette occupied during his visit, and which still has in it most of the original furniture. The flower garden in the rear of the house was laid off under the personal supervision of Washington. The hedges are of boxwood which is said to have been planted in 1742, and is now of enormous size, though of very dlow growth and being closely trimmed. Flowers of all kinds are for sale at reasonable prices, and considerable revenue is derived from this source for the maintenance of the place. Some human pigmies have deaecrat- . ed this grand old place by writing their names wherever tbey could find a place, and it is only by close watch that acts of vandalism are prevented. The Association has provided for this by offering flowers for sale, and pebbles. Pieces of wood are given to visitors, as nearly every one who visits the place wishes to carry home some remembrance. The tomb of Washington is only a . , | short distance from the house, and is built by the terms in Washington's will. It is of plain brick. The remains of the immortal Washington are covered by a marble slab, ana by II IS Slut; IS LI 13 Wilt". V/lUCl XUCU1IICIO 111 the family and relatives are buried there. A great many trees still stand which are said to have been planted by Washington himself, and one of our party wished to see the cherry tree which was so badly hacked up, but . that was one thing not to be found.

Washington, April 1. B. The Samoan Disaster. London, March 31.?Additional particulars of the disastrous storm at Apia have just been received. A hurricane burst upon the harbor suddenly. The German man-of-war Eber was the. ^ 1 J CUa KA ni'SL vessel urujj uer auuuv/i. ouc uv came unmanageable aud was driven helplessly upon the reef which runs around the harbor. She struck broadside on at 6 o'clock in the morning. The shock caused her to lurch aud to stagger hack and she sank in a moment iu deep water. Most of her men were under hatches and scarcely a soul of them escaped. The German war ship Adler was the next to succumb. She was lifted bodily by a gigantic wave and cast on her | beam ends on the reef. A terrible j struggle for life ensued among the officers aud sailors. Many plunged into the raging surf and struck out, some reaching the shore in safety. Others clung to the rigging until the masts fell. Of those in the rigging only two nroinprl aVinrA. The oantain of the Ad ler and several other officers were saved. Meantime the United States steamer Xipsic had been dragging her anchors and drifting towards the shore. The captain, however, managed to keep control and ran her on a sand bank. The boats were immediately lowered, and the whole company were saved with the exception of six men. These were drowned by the capsizing of a boat. The United States steamer Vandalia was carried before the gale right upon the reef. She struck with a terrible shock, hurling Capt. Schoonmaker' against a Gatling guu, and he fell stuuned. Before lie could recover a great wave swept the deck and he was washed away with others into the sea. The vessel sank fifty yards from theNipsic. Several of the officers and men were washed overboard and drowned. Others perished while making desperate efforts to swim to shore. Some remained for hours in the rigging, but the heavy and swift succeeding waves dashing over them carried them off one by one. *Bv this time night had set in. Many natives and Europeans had gathered on shore, all anxious to render assistance to the unfortunate crews, but owing to the darkness they were wholly unable to be of service. Soon after the Vandalia had sunk, the American war ship Trenton broke from her anchorage and was driven upon the wreck of the Vandalia, whence she drifted to shore. The bottom of *} the Trenton was completely stove in and her hold was half full of water. As morning broke the German manof-war Olga, which had hitherto withstood the gale although much battered by the heavy seas that constantly broke upon her, became unmanageable and she was driven upon the beach where she lay in a tolerably fair position. Tho fnilnwhirr is the record ol" the ollicers and men lost: Eber, captain and all other officers except one, and seventy-four men. Vandalia, captain, four officers and forty men. Nipsie, seven men. Adler, altogether fifteen persons. Mataata sent a numtier ot men to the as-sistance of the ships. They rendered splendid aid in floating the Olga. moke ships ordered to samoa.
