I.etScr of !>r. (;rior. Elsewhere in this paper may no round the letter of l>r. (iri?rr on the of ioimin<: a teachers association in Abbeville County. The effort of the School ?'oiumfsioniT is a worthy one, and wc have no donbt will meet with tne hearty approval of all gocd citizens. The association of teachers must necessarily be of advantage to them individually, and to the patrons of their schools. The people of this place, or any other community, would no doubt be clad to entertain the teachers during the time of tlie meeting of the association. One Thousand Shade Trees*. Mr. Kirby informs us that he has set out on our sidewalks one thousand shade tries. With all there trees tlu-re are still sunny streets thai need shade and which will no doubt soon fare us well as other streets.

Ninety-Six has more clover,oats, and fine stock than any other section of Abbeville county. W? should be pleased if some of the successful Ninety-Six farmers would tell the rest of the world how they produce their crops. Pleasant Entertainment.

If you want to be bored to death Just come 'o our house early some evening and start Morandyon the beautilul?if she don't wear you out before night the thing can't be done, she'll hegin at the daisies and keep on till she gets to the stars, and she will use every blessed adjective in tjic biggest dictionary while she is on the way. She" says the man j who can see nothing beautiful in t lie fragile I daisy that smiles upon me uri^iit .?iaj moriiing, or I lie myriads of celestial bodies that move in eternal silence and unconfessed majesty, iias'ut got any soul; and I expect she is rather right. And according lo her .vay of figuring I guess she must liave more soul than anything else. 1 like daisies very well, only they are too outrageously little,and the stars don't look like they are much bigger. I'he only objection 1'vi:got to the stellar host, as Morandy calls It. Is that, tlie last one oi Miem have got about the same features and I can't tell one stellar from another, except the moon. .Jim says it strikes him ahout the same way: they are all so much alike tlot they get monotonous, and for his part lie had rather look at a good mule any day. Moronity thinks any body who would prefer a mule to the starry heavens, is in n bad tix indeed, and I'll admit that it is n powerful ome down. My ma says she ain't got any objections to the stars, but she thinks it would he better if people would let them alone and learn how to keep house?this Is a lick at .Mora tidy. Moronity says this is the most beautiful time of the year, when "Spring, gentle Sprint'," reigns supreme and the queenly rose and the modest violet are breathing out their sweetest fragrance. Well, every tiling does look very well; nature is dressed up in her Sunday clothes which are made mostly out >f green, with various kinds of trimming, flic crows and the jays with the rest of the birds arc titling the air with their' melody, hut it strikes me that the warbling of the rows and jays can't come under the head 01 the beautiful. A graet deal has beeu written about Spring being the most glorious time oi the year, when everything is thrilling with new life: it tuny be true, but I always fee! iikea piece of dough?till lank and limber? mil then things are gelling miserably sleepy \fter dinner, and they'll keep on getting wotso'till cold weather. To sleep after dinner is as beautiful a thing as I have found in nature and my love lor it is unbounded. It is V'uutiful indeed, and beats "queenly roses tnd modest violets" all to death?If you don't believe it, just try it. The Spring is a good Mine for those that are not married but are lying to be. J fell in love two Springs hand unning and know what I'm talking about? Jim fell in love one spring and that's the rea ?ou he aia't single today. I like, the beautiful very well and think it Is right pretty, but there is no use in running it Into the ground: '"'I" A rwl I lufo'c tll'A to .UOMOIUJ UI^T, AUU U1VIV u i lie question anyway.

Those who are familiar with the history of the Association know that its sole object was for the benefit of the teachers themselves and tlie schools in their charge. There is surely need for the stimulating inlluence of mutual co-operation and friendly .li<cus*ion.

' FOuLI MK FOR MAY. A FEW HINTS A3 SO KOW WE SHOULD CULTIVATE OUR CROPS. ! Corn?IMinvins ? S'lanlinjr--| (ironing crops?A lli;y B.ol ?f "IMhi'I." While May is si ill a plant in sr month, it einlil'acf s al -o the most important part c.f the period of cultivating Hit' main cmps of tho South?corn and cotton. Tho farmer who has uood stands and his fields in good. condition on the lirst day of tii.j month, ami pushes his work with skill, em-rcy and i?<?od judgment to lis cio.-t, will have practically won the fi^ht so far as depends fin his efforts. It has often been said that a crop well planted on well prepared land is hot/iwiil)-. Such j preparation and planting involves m od seed and liberal manuring, as well as <ror?d plowins and careful maiinstcnwnl of all details, and almost certainly results in good stands. The real objects of plowing and hoeing the crops should he kept steadily in view, and the means for their accomplishment should be adapted to ilie ends. It is error to proceed in tho cultivation of a crop as ii tho only object were to destroy the ?rass and weeds: and yd these must ho either prevent eu or destroyed or lin; crop Will |>r.?cii Hi 1 II j Weeds hikl uimss then, arc not an unmixed evil to some farmers, since the necessity fori their suppression, ami tlie humus employed for Hint purpose, assure to the crop, to a tievrree, the stirring unci aeration of the soil that, will bo necco-'sarv to a vigorous growth ami development.of the plants ami a bountiful harvest. The main object of cultivation should be to keep the surface sol I to the depth of one or two inches, in a loose, friable condition, so that thcair may haveca?y aecessto the roots of the plants, while at the same time the moisture is prevent d from to rapidly evaporating. Ashowcrof rain snfllcb-ntly copious to stand for a few nionents on the surface will cause the particles of soil to "run together," just as if a handful of soil he dropped in a-.'hiss of water and the vessel briskly shaken a few moments. The run-, ningof the water on the surface, or the conbined agitation by the successive falling; raindrops, produces the same condition ot the upper halt inch or more of the soil,as observed in the glass. Now.pour oil'tho water in the v'lass, or permit the water to flow fill' from the soil, or sink into it, and the same result will shortly follow in both cn?es?the formation ot a compact crust or cake. Jn both cases the particles of soil have adjusted themselves lo each other more closely, Ju<l us kernels of wheat or corn in a half bu>hei will do when shaken. In this condition the soil is like a. soft, brick, or a lump of smrar and will <lruw up the moisture more readily and rapll.v bv capillary action. Anyone caul easily illustrate the "principle of capillary action, and the rule by which it, is governed. I'ake two panes or pieces of ulass; lay one on the other, separating tjicin by several thicknesses of paper along two oppcslte edges. Now dip the open educ of the combined kIuss in water and note the rise of the fluid in the tliin space between the surfaces of tin; two pieces of glass. Note further if the thicknesses of paper be reduced so as to bring the pieces of glass nearer each other, the water will rise higher and higher in proportion as the surfaces be brought nearer each other. Now the particles of soil, when in the condition described just, now, are much nearer together than the thickness of a single sheet of the thinnest paper, and thus form a series of very tine capillary tubes, capable of drawing up the water many incites. As the water thus drawn up reaches rt lie surface, and even before it reaches the surtace of the soil it is converted Into vapor and escapes into to air. It now we disturb or break up the close con tiguity 01 inc panicles ami miiis ncsirov me continuity of the capillary spaces or tubes, we to that extent prevent or greatly retard, ihe escape of moisture by evaporation. This is accomplished by stirring tho surface of the soil, mid form inc it into a mellow, loose layer. This layer may be considered as a mulch to the subjacent soil in which the roots are feeding, ft,r it acts very similarly to i mulching of the usual materials, In preventing undue evaporation. lint not only does tho hard, compact crust facilitate the scape of needed moisture, but if also prevents the free entrance of air into tlie soil. We believe properly conducted experiment would also prove that the stirring of the surface soil tends to facilitate th.i sinking of tlie superabundant water into the underlying subsoil and Into the natural or artificial lrainago outlets, after a series of too copious rains. IMPLKMTSTS OK ( I'LTritK. How to accomplish this repeated stirring of the soil in the cheapest ami most effectual manner,.is a problem thai has not been solved by Southern farmers generally. The tradition al "nigger and a mule," with a shovel, or gopher, or some similar implement, remill ing from throe to four furrows in a fourfoot row, is a reproach on Southern farming. The winged sweep, large thanks to David Dickson for improving and popularizing it, was quite a step In advance, followed by the heel scrape, which is a modified form of the sweep, doing the same work and costing less. But. an cxpandinc riding or walking cultivator is the desideratum. We want a reliable, inexpensive, simple implement that will clean out a three or four foot row at, one trip. An implement having bnt one share, as flic Dickson sweep, or modification, the improved heel scrape, cannot do eitectlve work if wider than eighteen to twenty inches and even then only oil irronnd In good mellow condition and free from obstiwtIon In the shape of grass, little, stones etc. We want to reduce the size of the.1tharrx or culling parts, and Increase their number. This, with appliances for regulating width and depth, vrlve lis tho cultivator, of which there are several patterns offered tor sale. Among them we cannot forbear expressing a favorable opinion of the "Planet, Jr., Cultivator." work infj coi We assume that corn lias been worked the first time, and that the main crop on upland is now in gooil order, with a good stand. It should now be the object of the farmer to push lite plants forward as rapidly as possible. The richer or more highly fertilized the soil the more rapidly it should l>?> cultivated?the oftenor it should be plowed?for the simple reason that it will give lartrer returns for ^additional cultivation. There are doubtless thousands of aeies now plantednook and corners here and there, and occasionally whole fields?whose filial yield will barely pay the expense of three plowlngs. stucli land should not have iiecn planted at nil; having boon planted, it wore better perhaps to do the next best tiling: turn it out for ii summer pasture.or sow down in peas. Make it a point to go over ther corn as often as once in two weeks a least; every ten days would be better, provided a rain lias fallen In the meantime. Todolhisat smallest'expendituro of time, a burrow or wide expanding cultivator is almost indispensable. Five Cultivations at intervals of two weeks will cover just eight weeks, or from, say April 1"? to June l.*>, by which time ecru wlil be in condition to lay by. Willi a wide cultivator. this can hedonewilh ten furrows, or if we allow four furrows with a smaller plow at first plowing, twelve furrows in all. Three plowings, three weeks apart (ilie old rule) would carry the crop to, say June 2Jt, but with the narrow deeper-running implements would require probably not less than twelve to fourteen furrows in all. Which is tin? cheaper method, and which will give the larger j icld? Somebody try it anil report results. of course it is understood that pens are to be planted in the corn, according to one of the several plans in vogue, on good land, with rn'.vs not wider than four or live feet, we believe it. Is better to wait lint ii the last plowing and then put them in broadcast. wokkini; cotton. The practice is growing in favor of hrnadeast harrowing the e it ton field as the young plants are coming up. It is accord with the best methods, a? applied to corn culture in the great West, where it is almost, universally the custom to barrow the corn fields one or twice before the cultivator is used. We rather prefer the longitudinal harrowing -lengthwise the rows, especially if repented. There Is nothing that benefits theyonngcotton plants,if I lie ground has been Impacted by nitis since planting, morn than n prompt harrowing or mere scratching of tin* surface, so that the air and sunshine can penetrate to the roots. After harrowing, ii this plan be adpoted, or siding with sweep, or better, wltlia straitdiiK' cultivator, comes the thinning, the most laborious and cost lv detail of the cultivation. We lievo several times adopted the plan of choppfiir/. in advance of siding. This can tie done with saving of labor to the amount, of one plowing, if (lie cotton has i-'iiic ah it 11! 1111 i 111 r ntwl is thercfote free from i*rass anil sni | crust.

Itadiiits' mill SwiimiiiiR?Present* | from Xative Friends?The Ntars I Siripcx-A Signal of Mistress. Aima, 8 a.mo an Islands, March ] >, 1889. l)ctu% Kch/hbor: My duties necessitating my presence ashore very much ami considerable travel about the island, I have, long since, been obliged to take a cottage in Apia, and purchase a horse. Living ashore and riding about the country a great deal have enabled me to see much of real Satnoan life, and some of my experiences and observations may prove interesting to far-away readers. Jlut, first of all, I must relate my troubles about house-keeping and looking after a horse. Women do most of the household work in Samoa, and 1 succeeded at once in securing a faithful. though, to mv notion, a somewhat iueilicicnt maid. Things worked well for several days, and J supposed myself quite settled, when, lo! one morning a new girl came in aud tried lo explain in "pigeon-English" that Tantana had "taken to the bush." When I suggested that she speak in Samoan, she immediately commenced a long family history,?which I, as quickly cut short,?and the plain truth was that my servant had gone upon an indefinitely long visit to relatives in MaIietoa's camp, and that she would probably remain to participate in any battle that might occur in the next few weeks or mouths. 1 have since learned that such proceeding is not at all unusual, and that the employee con sillers it sufficient to obtain a substitute, of whatever kind she ean, without personally notifying her employer of her intended departure, or consulting him as to the successor. Not being pleased with the new candidate, I dismissed her peremptorily. Just at this time, too, my Samoan boy, Jack, left without notice or substitute, and my horse was without an attendant. Believing that I eould rely upon Une (of whose family I wrote you some time ago) to supply my needs, I made them known, whereupon his wife, Sui, took the entire contract, house-keeping, . laundry and horse. Now, all is settled, and I hope to run on smoothly while I remain in Samoa; Sui does the washing, Sueiga looks after the house, and one of their relations (of whom the name is legion) attends to "Gillie." The desertion of Jack brings to mind very forcibly the nuisance, even the curse, of cricket playing in Samoa. It was for the sport of cricket that Jack left me after two months' faithful service. About ten years ago, the game was introduced iu these islands, and it at once caught the fancy of the natives. In a little while they learned it pretty well, and devoted a great deal of time to the playing, and considerable money to the uniforms (a pair of abbreviated swimming trunks.) As the passion grew upon them, for a passion it certainly became, and is yet,? they abandoned all pretences of other avocations and devoted themselves entirely to cricket. So manifest were the baleful effects, that the native government was obliged to restrict the playing to one day in a week, and to limit the number of players in each game. This was brought about by hundreds of people going from one place to another, or, perhaps from one island to another, and from a hundred to a hundred and Jifty of them engaging on a side against an equal number of their hosts. These matches sometimes lasted as long as six weeks, in which time the visitors' lands were neglected, and the hosts'provisions quite exhausted. l?y degrees the evil was diminished, but it has never been abated. Indeed, it lias been revived considerably during the unsettled stale of affairs during the present war, and nearly every time I pass through Malietoa's lines J ^i>? ? (fiiiw in iimnrpsK. liovs and ,1V-v' " I" ~o- - / ills eagerly follow tlie example of their ciders, and every available plat about Apia is occupied daily with scores of players and spectators. Since the arrival of the U. 8. Trenton with Admiral Kintberly on board, (Mareh 7) tiie game has been entirely suspended, however, as all parties are anxious to appear as industrious and well-behaved as possibld in the eyes of the "big Admiral," as the natives call him. Hiding through the cocoa-nut plantations of (he German firm very often, 1 frequently meet squads of warriors laden with bananas, cocoa-nuts and bread-fruit, which they are carrying to the camp. These burdens are lashed to the ends of a stout pole slung across the shoulders of the foragers. Lava-lavas (waist-cloth) are seen in innumerable styles: sometimes the orthodox cloth with gaudy pictures printed thereon, sometimes a large j handkerchief bearing a picture of Malietoa or Tamasese ; but more often a [ piece of tappa, or native cloth. A9 i this does not wear as stoutly as some other things, one often sees a native in j rather a dilapidated lava-lava, or more truly, what is scarcely tnore than a s-N-udcr belt around the loins. The hair is worn in various styles and colors. Sex makes no dinbrence( necessarily, and men and women may I please themselves entirely. You may M-e a native with only a tuft of brown i hair adorniug the top of his otherwise I shaved head, or one with a ridge of [hair standing up boldly running across the head from ear to ear, or from i front to back. Some shave off all ex cept a little tuft about each ear. Originally the hair was raven b'ack, hut now rot half the people cling to the old color,?preferring a reddish yellow which is obtained by covering the head with a thick lather of lime. This treatment is kept up for a few days until the desired tint is obtained ; and while a native is thus plastered up J he is an odd looking fellow : bright ? brown skin glistening with cocoa-nut ' oil, a gay lava-lava, or simple string of tappa about the waist, and then all this surmounted by a mop of coarse hair } standing up through the white lime J plaster. \ If that old saw be true, "that clean- ? lincss is next to Godliness," the Sa- 11 ' >i moans must be safe for the hereafter, t , . _ I for nearly every one swims anu Dames () twice each day, and some of them that I know indulge in the luxury even oftener. Rivers and streams are numerous throughout the islands, and I have yet to cross one without seeing natives in bathing and swimming. Children along the beach play more in the surf than on.the land, and are quite as much at ease swimming as walking. When T first arrived in Samoa I was beset by natives wishing to sell me curiosities. Fortunately I held off' for a while, and now I have all the lings, combs, tappa, fans, mats, sticks, warclubs, and so 011, that I can take care ^ of. Nearly all are presents from c friends among the Samoans,?warriors and their relatives whom I transported to the hospital in Matantu after the ? battle of Laulii. All other American ? officers engaged upon like duty have been as liberally rewarded, and have scores of friends at their bidding * among the dusky natives of these 1 beautiful isles. " (ireat honor is paid the United ( States flag by the Samoans : every aftemoon when the bugler at the Consulate "sounds" sun-set the flag is hauled down from the staff* amid the a hearty cheering of scores of men, wo- n men and children, who seem loth to leave the spot even after the colors are to be seen no more. Speaking of the flag reminds me of a woman here whom I saw on one occasion wearing the tattered remnant of a "star spangled banner" as a lava-lava, " only, she had it on up-side-down. A jolly tar from the Nipsic was coming along the road at the time, and, de- J scrying the inverted flag, made a rush for the dusky fair one, exclaiming, the while, with more rum than judgment, 1 "Meriker ain't flying no signal of dis- , tress down here,?not much she ain't, Q and you just haul down, or I'll make . you." In a few seconds "Jackv" was 1 where the womau had been, but she had escaped at the first signal of alarm, ] and he stood still, quite puzzled, trying to "take his bearings," and doubt- ? less believing that his strongly spiritu- i alized gaze was sadly befogged. But "Jacky" is a very various fellow, and J it would take far too much space for me to spin half the yarns I know about his many eccentricities. 1 .s. T.
