LOVING HEARTS UNITED.
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. ; > ?

INSECT TRAMPS.
Tlio Wiif Our Potatoes are I>e*lroye?l,

.nay !? ' Killed.
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 ?

plant to be sprayed. J\ E. Cheatham.

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.
