Two Young; People are Very Happy? "Two OKI People Not No Well Pleased. The news which carae over the wires last Friday of the intended marriage at Belton of Mlu Marule Taggart and Mr. Jo Hughes, was the most Interesting talk of the week. MIbs Tiiggart had been at College in Greenville and Mr. Hughes was In the employ of tbeC. C. & A. Hallway. While It was well known that they had been lovers lor some time, yet nobody was expecting a marriage with roinatlc Incidents. Mrs. Taggart left on the Southern train Friday afternoon for Belton with the Intention of stopping the Interest' lng ceremony; and the bride, learning that her mother was coming, postponed the marriage until she woula arrive. The object for waitlug lay in the fact that she desired to IUU&C uuo HiWiC oppcm IW. uvt .uv.uv. w vww sent to the Important step which Bhe was < about to take. Hut the mother was obdurate, and withheld uot only her consent but her benediction, too. She protested agalnat the marriage as only a mother could do. But i Importunities, sighs and tears, were all unavailing. Neither the bride nor tbe | groom would wait, and so the loving couple, in company with a friend, went to the Rev. Mr. Vaas who united them In the bonds of holy matrimony. Mrs. Hughes Is accomplished In piano music and is one of the sweetest singers In Abbeville. She had been at College for several years, and her talent aud her application , made her an excellent musician. < Mr. Hughes Is a native of Abbeville and is < now on an engine which runs over the C. C. i <fc A. road. Tbe Press aud Banner is glad to t learn that he Is held In high esteem by bis i employers, and his old neighbors and friends i In Abbeville are proud of his success not only In winning a pretty bride, but In ob- i tulnlne and holding a good Job, with good pay i attachments. The bride and the groom are very young to | RHKume the responsibilities of married life, i and for this reason there wasobjectlon to the i marriage at this time, but love laughs not i only at bolts aad bar*, but. at all opposition i that may be urged against entering upon the marriage contract. i It Is the firm belief of their friends that j these young people will overcome all opposl- t tion that may be based upon their present lack of age. They will be older in a few years, and each will by that time prove that their marriage was no mistake. Her voice will be sweeter and her her chartn ol beauty and female loveliness will cement and bold forever the love of a devoted manly heart, which will be more true and loyal with the passing years. His pluck and his determination to succeed In life will no doubt win for him a still better place on the railroad than he now holds. While evervhnriv avmiMthiseS With the parents who objected to the marriage, yet a great host of friends are ready to extend good wishes to the happy young people. All wish for them long lire and a great wealth of happiness. It Is hoped that they may be blessed in basket and in store. After the marriage had taken place the loving couple and the irate mother waited for the coming of the next train. All got aboard. At Hodges the mother changed cars for the train coming to Abbeville. and the brldeand the groom oontlnued their Journey to Columbia. The mother's grief was In evidence, and the happiness of the lovers was apparent to all on ttie trait). Ktforts to appease the mother were ansuc. cessiul. The fact that her mother did not recognize her any more was the only thorn In the heart of an otherwise happy bride. The idea of a bride separating from her mother without her blessing was enough to touch any susceptible heart. ; > ? Aug. W.

Clenison rolleg<?, s. June 1, V.KH?. Kor the benefit <>t tlx* readersoi your paper, we give in the following it lew remarks nu the introduction o| I he IVtlorsnlo potato beetlee (il'Tiiphora deremliueata), into tills country, >tnit how this destructive enemy of the potato may tie destroyed. As is well known, a great. many insect tramps have eoiue to us trom Knrope and from Australia. and appropriated whatever pleased them best of our growing crops or stored grain. Kut, two of our very worst insect pests have swarmed out on us in hordes from their strongholds in the region of the Rocky mountains. Those jire the Kocky mountain locust, and the ever dreaded and destructive Colorado potato beetle. The latter Insect dwelt near the base of the llockv mountains, feeding upon thesandburr (sotonuin-rostrat'um), until about the year ISMi. At this time this beetle began to be a serious pest in the potato patche s of the set ners in mat region. Having acquired mo habit of feeding upon liie cultivated potato, it began its eastward march across the continent, spreading from potato patch to potato patch. At first t he migration took place at about the rate of fifty miles a year, but later, it was more rapid; and in theyear 187-1 the Inject reached the Atlantic coast, since spreading over almost every .State in the Union, making its presence known by Its lengthy , visits to the potato patches of the farmers; Dually appearing In a very destructive form In the potato patches near Alt. Carmel, re- , zently. i The question may be asked, why did this , beetle not appear more numerous in early history? This may be accounted for by the fact that they bad a very scanty and limited ( vegetation upon which to feed. But, just a* <oon as the farmer of that time began to cultivate the potato, which afforded them pas- , turage, so to speak, they began to multiply more rapidly. Thus we see why the pest ol i today is more widespread than it was In former times. This insect is readily destroyed by the use ( tif Paris green, applied in the form of a powder or a dust. To prevent injury to the plant, dilute the Paris green with flower or lime, until the mixture takes on a slightly greenish tinge; or, take one heaping tablespoonful of ParlB ( ireenand dilute it with two quarts of flour or lime. This may be applied with specially contrived bellows, but the most convenient , method of applying this Is with a small bag or "S ounce osnaburg cloth," or a small flour i sack. Put the poison Into the sack, and go over each row, dusting the vines, as It were. The application Is preferably made In early mnrnlnp' or latfl ?v?nlnc nhnn thfl rifiw Is on. to cause tbe pol6on to adhere better to the foliage. In case of a heavy rain shortly after an application has been made, it would be well to make another application Immediately; for allowing tbe potato vines to remain ">ne day with the poison not on them is courting disaster. One would also benefit by keeping a constant watch over his potatoes, ana destroying the little black beetje.as soon as H Is hatched. Another good way to destroy.tbtesg beetles Is to destroy their eggs, which are'deposlted in parallel rows on tbe under anrface of tbe lower leaves. This diluted poison may ateo.be applied to the cabbage with good resnltq.'tll will-certainly do tbe little green cabbage worm np in short order, and any other C^bMge eating inThe harlequin cabbage bBtfjjRRrgantla hlstronlca), better known tA'gafHn Abe calico back, is very destrcotlnKgUMKbages, radishes, and turnips In the^mMHLBiates and on the Pacific coast. BefffiHpWtgaoy further remarks on. this4UMMHki> short description of It, for taiFWMRtiflHHtew who have probably never QCtlOM'llifl^nKibefore, would not be outof place hefef<iXttw 1* a '-mall black insect with bandBvittnpeh. and inorlrllllFinr mH (iMlnM IIP VMIBK Thi 'fllll grown bogs live tbrougb the winter; and in early spring each female l?y? on the under surface of tbe young leaves about twelveeggs In two parallel row*.;, Thetyoung pa0EEh' palegreen, with black spots. They mainteln a few days^ so there a?"e mar>jr generations In one season. It la difflotilt to fled a remedy for this peet, bot much can be done by plao Ing cabbage and turnip leaves on this ground in early spring,and thus trapping them when they first come on tor tbelr winterquarters; or, probably it would be better to plant a row of mustard, radishes, or orees around the enti re .patch, to serve as a trap crop, acid la early spring when these plants become thorough- ' ly Infested destroy both plant and bug by burning or spraying with strong kerosene emulsion. If the first brood is destroyed before'their egg? are deposited, any one would meet with very little difficulty in kefeplng this peat down. But, should he fail jo destroy the first brood, it would tben be Impossible to get rid of tbe Insect entirely. So, to combat this Insect with success commence In early spring. Paris green, to kill, mutt be taken internally, and as tbls Is a sucking Insect, It would be useless and wasting time to apply Paris green for the destruction of thfcpeai. Therefore, for this insect to be held- in check, or eradicated, a substance whleb/wlil kill on contact must necessarily be employed. These are preferably .tbe, "finger ana thumb" and tbe use of strong kerosene emulsion. Kerosene emulsion Is prepared as follows: rborough dissolve from % to pounds of common laundry soap in one gallon of hot water, then add to this soap solution two gal- < Ions of kerosene oil.. This whole mixture la tben agitated violently ItdnJ eight to ten minutes. This It tbe stock solution, and I must be dilated aocoraing w> iijo m?ect iur ? which yon are about to spray,and the kind of plant to be sprayed. J\ E. Cheatham. V, i ** if jj' V' Farmers and Legislation. Southern Farm and Maga&Jnie. The editor of the. Press and^Bftnner of \bbeville, 8. C., In tbe oonrse of an editorial comparing tbe results of working a 10 bale ;otton farm and of movlng.lo a mfil town for i man with ball a dozenWbildren, makes ;ome pertinent sug?eqt}6?a for the benefit of men who may be persuaded by blm to quit -entitle land for tbe pdrpose of working for K-ages and who may contemplate Joining a textile union wltb the idea of taking charge Di a cotton mill. H%eays:' "Ah far as our Information goes, it Is perfectly certain that ttia tbe present Intention of the owners of tbe cotton mills hereabout to run their mills In their own way. It might, therefore, be wtfLtrewalt until you are elected, or asked, to takti oharge of these institutions. Some very good^people have recently in (fared verv erlevoQilrfroni yielding to the importunities of IdtjBwfifeatufes who came nmong them and Induced them to believe that ttie owners of tbe mills were Incompetent and would allow tbem to dictate tbe policy and the business methods of tbe institution. i "Tbe mill owners ore trying to run tbeir mills, and tbey may be a little selfconcelted In tbelr assumption of ability to run tbe mills which tbey have built, but you just let the Idiots alone, as long as you get your salary. You know that the Bible says there Is more hope of a fool than of a man who Is wise In his own conceit, but It is possible that the loots who own the mills may some day find out that tbey cannot run tbem. The main thing then for you to do Is to perfect yourself Id the mill business, so that the Jackassable owners of the mill, when looking for sonic one to run their machinery, may pick you out to take the job ol bossing tbe concern. "The master-mechanic, the superinteudent, the bosses and others holding responsible places In the mills got their places through merit and have worked themselves up to tbelr present high places by efficiency and fidelity. Good places demand the best of skill. II Northern mill men send tbeir agents to Augusta, and If Augusta mill-men seek to Interfere with Carolina mill operatives, we would say, my son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not." The Southern Farm Jiagaalne then proceeds to soy. Beneath this Jocularity Is very sound and reasonable advice, which may well be borne In mind, not only by cottonmlll operatives, but by the men who prefer to remain on the farm and who, In the South, have it in tbelr rattier lorcrAlv to nnntrnl the Ipi/iHlnl ion Of their .States. It has become the fashion here and there for legislators to seek to provide ror Interference by the State with matters of individual contract between an employer aud employe. This fan til on lias thus far concerned prUiclpfBly cotton mills, it in a fashion whlcbftfiSTarmers should not permit to B The development of cotton mills in the South means,broader markets for the farmers, Anything calculated to check the inclination of capital to invest in cotton mills means a limitation of those markets. Interference by legislation with the operations of ootton mills may be safely depended upon to check cotton-mill building, if not to hamper tbe operations of those already in fxisteuce. Farmers, In selecting their candidates for the legislature, may do well to prevent the nomination of any men suspected of an inclina tlon to advocate measuron which can have the effect only of disturbing the pleasant relations of Southern employers and employee.
