?*r; r - -' "'*?"V - -.. BJs * Eg - | BANKS AND BANKERS. THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS OF ABBEVILLE COUNTY. XttmeM of Those Wlio Have Stuck in the >'11111 iter of Shares Which They Hold. Looking in the Auditors oflKy for news, tin Thought occurred to us that Tli"- return* ot the different Bank* of th? county would tiii u column with some interest, ami herewith present I hem. in the order oi sinioi ity. 'i'lie Abbeville National Hank was ihst c>tahlished. The Greenwood Bank trterward came into existence. And recently the Fanners Hank was organized. The par value of the stock of the National Bulk is Silk); that of the Green wood Hank ISW; and that oi tlie Farmers Hank is sum. The terms upon which subscriptions to ihila<t named I'.ank was made are us follows: 20 per cent, to he paid In cash?the balance In four equal annual instalments. The l>irectors realizing that the longeredl, which was given to subscribers, would t<some extent, cripple the Bunk for a time, concluded to otter a discount of ten percent, on ail undue stock which might be paiil in full. For instance: The subscriber to one snare, owed SJO cash, and $su In four equal sinnual Instullnients. Alter pitying the >21 due, he i* allowed ten per cent.?or ;"s?discount if h< pays the Sso In cash. This statement, will explain the different valuations which are plac.d on the different shares, the shares being returned at the exact amount of the cash which has been paid on them. The return of the Farmers Hank was math as of date March 1,1SW, and does not ineltnli subscriHions or stock which was paid laiei than that date. The return shows that soint Shi,000 lias been paid, when, as a matter o fact, since then something like s'J.000 has been paid in?making a paid up capital at thi? time of about S2j,tK);>. At this time something over oO.Otlo sli a rehave been taken Of tl-isamount 2),(i00 haw been taken by ''outsiders," while over :??,"0 have been subscribed by members of the Aili ance. Without the resolution authorizing the hel| of "outsiders" the liank would have had m existence to day. Return of (lie >~?tiou>il Hunk of Abbeville. PA It VA1.UK $100?KETURNEO KOIl TAXATION AT SI 10.

W. l.radiey, who has a good school at. l>onal(l>-, spends most, of Ills Sabbaths In Due West. There were finite a number of mistakes and omissions in our article as printed on l'resby{cry at Troy.

This tirm also has a stone to put up at the grave of Mr. Tlios. Maddon, oi Level t.and. Their business in tills section is increasing. Dr. tiller g ive a lecture in Krskine Chapel last week that was much enjoyed by the targe audience in attendance. His subject was ' PhyHiolosy." The Doctor's side remarks on early engagements were heartily enjoyed and tremendously applauded. They seem to have been a great hit, as everybody is talking about it. Mr. John A.Devlin lias bought from Prof. Kennedy the railroad lot. in front of the old printing oflice, and Is laying down brick on it to put up a building of some kind. ('ommuiiion occur I < n comes off In the A. R. 1'. church the second sabbath of May. The oflicers of the church liere have agreed to lake up a collection for the Aboevllle Mission, to assist in buy n^ a lot on Saturday previous to the communion. Letcvery one help. There will be a meeting of the Due West Democratic club on next Saturday evening at o'clock in Krskine Chapel. A reorganization of the club will take placeand election of de!?g:itcs K> the Central Club. Hy orderof the president. Miss Janie Wideman, who has been teaching at Mi tie Mountain, has closed up her school, and is at home again, to the delight of her friends. We lay over n few hours ut ureenwooti iusi week. Mr. A. Mcl>. Singleton and Hod. C. A. i*. Waller look us In charge, and we walked out to where the railroad Is being cut through the town. It was a sight to see. The road Is iieluj; out :?! feet under the other roads where it eros-es them. Great trees were out down, hoUted by derricks and driven by pile drivers y<> feet in the mound. The new methods of dk'tcitm a railroad is worth seeing. We dropped In a tew moments at ltiley's Hotel ana met our old friend Thomas Walker, ile is looking exceedingly well. We found Hon. C. A. tJ. Waller In high spirits. In conversation with his friends the ?eneial impression was that he had "swept tip" his opponents on the whiskey question. This seems to be the general Impression In the county. The complimentary endorsement of Col. Haskell, (an opponent's), has put quite a feather in Mr. Waller's cap and started him on a boom. We called at. Messrs. T.envel A Gage's marble yard and W.is surprised to see their largo and handsome stoek. They buy by the ear load. Mr. John Huvran, living a few miles from Due West, Is stricken witli paralysis. Mr. S. i\ 15niton, of Greenwood, will bring out the ]\'rrk'.u Register at that place the llrst of May.

They ure beauties. We received the following by the last mall from a subscriber to the Prens and llanner who lives in Tennessee: "I was surprised that the editor of the Prcs* find Runner pcrmltied the publication of the attack on you by his correspondent Abbe do Ville. This correspondent evidently does not know what to write about." We may add that it was a surprise to every one here and to none more so than to the post master herself. It was an entire misconception of fa'-t--. The kindest feeling exists between the post master and the writer. No crit icism that we have made had the remotest reference to ihc post master at this place, who! has been eliltient and prompt in alj business I transactions with us. The post master has told us since this letter came out, that she did not consider that wc had any allusion to her. I No, wo are not. "a prstollice inspector"'or a J "post master," and desire neither. As business manager of the - !. If. 1'rcshi/teriun, it lias been our duty to look after the Irregularities | In delivery of our papers, caused by Inetlieieiit postal clerks on the railroads. Ill correcting those we have had the hearty support of the post master here and of Mr.Terrell, the Superintendent of Kail Mail Service. It was to these inelllcient postal clerks wc had reference. We can assure our fair correspondent that no little boy or girl here will be allowed to so far forget themselves as to get up in public! ami meddle with the post oflicc at Sinithville or any where else. It. S. t>. .Uiijor T. W. Woodward Will no! take 1'urt In any Such .fleeting. Winnsiioho, April 21.?The following, wiiich will appear in to-morrow's Sews and Herald. explains itself: ".Mr. U. A.

Your letter of the 1-Sth. quoted below, shows too plainly the hand which it is proposed to play: "*.\s tht< meeting will not be In any wisea partisan atVair, 1 am happy to lie able to say it has seemed to me wcil to have the three iillianccs of Mi is neighborhood to appoint a Lonimitiec- of six eaoh upon roeeption or arrangement, or with a view ot the Alliances taking a position that will show for Itself.' our constitution prohibits our going into politics, and when I joined the order I took in oath to keep inside the rules, which I shall certainly try to doa? loins as 1 am a member.

Each succeeding month thus far has made increased demands upon the farmer's energy, judgment and time. He is now nearly through with planning, and half through with planting the crops of the year. Tf plans have been laid with judgment and skill there will be little friction and embarrassment in carrying them forward into execution. There is no lime for idle regrets over mistakes, and hut little chance to correct errors of the past month. PLANTING COTTON. We have often stressed the importance of using none hut the best seed for planting. Not only should they be sound beyond doubt, but they should be of the very best and most prolific variety. Remember the trouble that was very generally experienced last year in getting.stands of cotton on account of bad seed. It is a good idea for every farmer to plant a few seeds in a sunny place a week or two in advance of planting the crop, as a test of their vitality. The same difference of opinion and practice in regard to early planting of cotton prevails as in the case of planting corn, tome insisting on very early planting, while others prefer waiur.g until settled warm weather. It depends upon the character and location of the soil, in our judgment. On old lands, especially thin sandy soils, that are not to be liberally fertilized, it is better to plant rather late. If exposed to one or two cool spells in the latter part of April or May, the plants on such soils are very apt to become lousy, and the expense of cultivation and the difficulty of preserving a stand greatly increased. Such set-backs also dwarf the plant and develop a tendency to overload with fruit before it has attained sufficient size to bear a full crop. It is important to have the crop on such laud come up healthy aud grow ofT without the set-backs alluded to in order to secure and keep a good stand and good sized plants. On dark colored, well drained lands the crop may be planted earlier, including also fresh lands, and whenever there is a tendency to late growth and maturity in the fall. When seed are plentiful and have been well ginned, a good stand may be secured without rolling them ; but if scarce, or if there is imV reason for making a few seed go "a long way," by all means roll them, whether to be sown by band or with a seed distributor. Turn to "Thoughts" for April, 1888, and see nn illustration and description of a simple device for rolling seed for plan (in , while at the same lime incorporating with them a small quantity of concentrated fertilizer. We have used the strongest Peruvian guano for rolling seed without the least injury, but with grent advantage to the plants. It is quite an advantage to the very early life of the cotton plant to have a small quantity of soluble fertilizer in contact with the ! planting seed. Let us suggest, while there is yet time to do it, that a patch of an acre or so be set apart for the purpose of grow log planting seeu 101* next year, using the very tiest seed, and if convenient, of several varieties, making the little field a test of varieties as well as a nursery. It will pay a handsome return for the trouble- The patch should be well manured, giving good distance and perfect cultivation. In conclusion, under this head, a word of caution is usually expected and not out of place: Don11 plant loo much colton. If you are in doubt about the proper relation of acrcs of corn and cotton, give the corn, or some other provision crop the benefit of the doubt. The last cotton crop returned more profit to the farmer than probably any within the last ten years. The price was better sustained and the yield good ; but there is absolutely no guarantee, and far as we can discern, no utronc nrobabilltv that it will be any better next year/ It would be a great pity If three-fourths of the farmers of the Mouth make the old mistake of each one planting a large crop in anticipation of a reduced aggregate area, a resulting short crop and consequent high prices. pjxjwing cobn. As Boon as the main cotton crop is planted, the early March plantings of corn will be ready to receive the first working. We don't care to plow corn very early if the ground is clean, and especially if other work is more pressing. Plowing very small corn is tedious and unsatisfactory. Perhaps the oesi practice is to run rnunu me rows with a small scootcrand board when the plants have several leaves, letting in the air and sunshine to the roots. Of course if the land has not been well broken before planting, or has become impacted by soaking ruins, the ground Itetween the rows should be plowed out nlose and deep. But on mellow, well pulverized soil, a good broadcast harrowing across the rows is becoming a popular practice. It is a good plan, whatever be the condition of the soil, whether rough and cloddy or crustcd. This harrowing may be repeated until the corn is eight or ten inches high, using a harrow with short teeth, slauting backward. On well prepared and eaiefully planted old land, there should be no occasion to use the hand hoe, if the plowing be properly done. We are satisfied that one of the most common errors in corn culture in the South is having too| great an interval between plowings. The old rule of plowing every three weeks is "more honored in the breach than in the observappe." We believe three thorough surface plowings two weeks apart, will make more corn than if three weeks apart. Deep plowiug and root cutting are absolutely inseparable- Plow deep, if necessary, now; plow shallow after the crop is approaching a foot in height. The narrow and cultivator should be the main reliance in making the crop.

April is the favorite month for putting in the main plantings of greensoiling crops, such as |>enrl millet (cattail), amber cane, Kaiiir corn, etc. For green food pearl millet leaves but little to be desired, producing the most abundant yield of sweet and palatable forage, and yielding repeated cuttings until late in summer, Itich land is; I absolutely indispensable for these [crops. They are gross feeders and must have an abundance of soluble manure of a nitrogenous character. We have never had very satisfactory results where reliance was had on manuring jjook land heavily for greensoiling crops. It is well to have several varieties of these forage orops. We again call at-, tention to the gient value of the common collards us food for all kinds of livestock. The leaves and stems of collards are much more nutritious than the ordinary forage plants, and are available for feeding during a much longer period. It would be an interesting inquiry to ascertain how V-; < vS;.- *. - . . V. - / -,'v ' - _-much weipht of collard plai.tsan ncrel of good soil will yield. SWEfc/T POTATOES. j Toward the last of (he month the. potato lieds will furnish slips for plant-' ing. We do not advocate early planting of this crop, as we have found that those planted in May and June require very much le.?s work, yield equally as well, and keep better. Farmers are usually anxious to commence transplanting as early as the plants will do, to avoid being too late in getling all the intended area planted. It Is better, however, to bed enough potatoes to plant the desired area duringthe month of May and the first half of June, replying afterwards on planting the cut vines. We have more than once made an additional bed alter the first of April. We have so often called attention to the importance of the potato crop, that it is hardly appropriate to more than hint at the subject at this time. Tt is rare indeed to find a farmer who makes more potatoes than he can find a profitable use for. There is absolutely but one drawback in the culture of this orop?the uncertainty of keeping the tubers through the winter; and yet it is probable that by far the greater part of the loss by rotting, during a series of years, is due to careless r?f hrmsinar nr hnnkinnr (he crop. Even if it is impossible to keep the tubers later than Christmas, the crop would still be a very prolitable one for stock feeding. Iiogs will gather them for themselves, and nothing that we have ever tried will make cheaper or better pork than sweet potatoes? not even corn. HOGS. The mention of pork reminds us to suggest the wisdom of planting some crops especially adapted for summer feeding of the hogs. Of course a good grass pasture, Bermuda for instance, is a desideratum ; but sorghum, collards, roasting ears, early plantings of Spanish peanuts afford'a valuable succession of very healthful and fattening food for swine. Sorghum and-green corn (stalk and all) have always stood high in the estimation of many successful fanners, as food crops for hogs. Hut, says one, possibly a thousand, "I have no hogs." Then so much the worse for you. In view of the universal use of bacon in all the farm houses and cabins in the South, as well as in the mansions of the cities, and tlic ease with which pork can be produced, it is one of the problems yet lo be solved, not how to mak? pork, but why don't every tanner "raise" nis own r we produced all we consumed during the war; we can do it and ought to do it now. But we are told that transportation from the West is so cheap that we can buy bacon cheaper than we can produce it ourselves. The same remark applies with more or less force to several other articles; beef, wool, butter, flour, Irish potatoes, hay, syrup. But maybe we are offering gratuitous, or at least uuneeded advice. Maybe the great revival of hope, effort, energy and economy, largely due to the wonderful growth and salutary influence of our Farmers' Alliance, is now developing a good natured boycott of Western farm products?such as corn, oats, bacon, etc. Is it not a remarkable fact that the one single product that is grown universally and extensively in the South than any other,! is the one single thing that we have no use for on the farm, viz. : cotton ? We can't eat it. we do not manufacture it (on the farm). The farmer must sell it and take what he can get for it. regardless of what it cost him to produce it.
