Both branches of (lie legislature arc in iftvor 01 adjournment uy the middle of the month and are working with that end in view. Very few, if any, now bills are likely to be intro duced. The House has a lot of bus incss on hand, but there being no factional issues interrupting the pro ccedings, it is thought that the cal endar can be cleaned up very soon. The illustrated AVi/vt <m</ Couriet of Monday gives an idea of the grand naval display that is soon to take place at Charleston. The squadron is to arrive next week. A blockade of the harbor and the attempt of the swiftest vessel to run the blockade will be of great interest to many thousands who will likely flock to Charleston during the stay of the lleet. Another Cuban ' expedition has been landed. This time on the Southern side from Jamaica, com eying to the patri ds much needed supplies. The Spanish government be sides being powerless to control matters on the Island, finds it. a difficult task to patrol its long extent of seacoast and prevent incoming friendly assistance, which is so abundant and which is so wilting to make the risk. lion. James C. Klugh, of Abbeville, was elected Circuit Judge last Friday, to till the vacancy caused by Judge Karlc's election to the United States Senate. The election seems to meet with general favor and we take it that the legislature has selected a mail fully equipped for the responsible position. The bar of Abbeville has been coinnliinentpd. X perhaps tu a greater extent than any other section of the State, having placed seven judges on the bench since the war, including Judge El ugh. The General Assembly made a visit to Winthrop College last Saturday where they spent a most enjoyable day, examining the detai's of this modern training school for girls, which is so near perfection in its up pointmcnts that it would be hard to discover anything wanting. In the spacious dining room, 142 people sat down at one time to an elegant din ner. The toasts and responses given were in keeping with the general feeling which prevailed and the oe ciision treuTnng to a private letter of one of our representatives) was most pleasant. The young ladies en tertained their distinguished guests in such a manner as will cause them ever to remember the day spent at Hock Hill. Before this month shall have en ded the Cuban war will have reached the end of its second year, with lees signs of cessation, than at any time, \ since its beginning. A correspond ent lately from the field and who ap pears to write fairly, says, "within eighteen months Spain will he at the end of her means and will abandon Cuba and the government of the re j public will be administered from Hahana. Spain regrets to give up so fair a possesion and is no doubt trying to arrange some form of home rule which will bo acceptable to the Cubans and which appears to be ii keeping with the late published in terview between the Spanish minis ter to this country and our Secrctar; of State. We mistake Gomez, wliei we believe that anything short o complete independence is offer< d His people are determined upon th atotiii uuu nave no tear of the end ? saying that what they mostly need is ammunition. The article front the Baltimore Su/i, published in Monday^ W< i/v? <Dt(I ('ouri> / , gives many good rea sons why Southern histories should be taught in Southern schools and refers at length to licv. J. Win. .Jones' history, which points out the defects and blemishes of Northern authors who have written since the civil war. We regret our inability to produce the article in full, as it throws a strong light upon some j matters that arc of great interest in the making of true history and should not longer remain unnoticed. We can only allude to a point or two, hoping later to give other extracts from the article. Mr. Jones says "In forty leading Southern univcrsi ties, he finds that in nearly all of tin in, hooks by Northern authors are used. Hooks beautifully gotten up, yet sadly defective in revealing what is true regarding Southern history/' A richer coloring is expected in the biush, or pen, of Northern painter, or writer, yet a sense of justice should control in the matter and plain simple truth be written. Do this, and ill of our people can gaze upon the picture with pride and turn the pages of our country's history with the same degree of satisfaction, the minds of our children will not be distorted and truth, which can only be smothered for awhile, must rise again. ' from Washington to (leant, a pi rial of eighty years, Soutln rn horn men tilled the Presidency of the United States for fifty seven years and Northern men for only twenty-three y ars, while Southern men lillid the olliceof Chief .lustice of the Supreme Court for sixty-three years and were always prominent in the Cabinjl, the Senate, the 1 louse of H'presentatiws, a fori ign ministers and in every pos tion of honor and responsibility. It may be added that during all these years there was 110 stain upon unyj of these Southern men and no scand il connected with the ail in i???- (radon of any one of them. It, Is another interesting fact that every accession of territory to the United States from the purchase of Louisiana to that of Alaska, has been under a Southern-born President and usually over the bitter opposition of the' Northern States. The New County election has come and gone, and such an election. The manngersjit some of the polls should be heartily ashamed of such conduct. We arc told hy reliable parties, who were there, that at some of the polls 110 oaths were ndmims* tered, except to the managers before taking charge of the polls, and peo pie were allowed to vote who did not reside in the new county area. Oth ers were allowed to vote before showing a registration certificate, or '9f> poll tax receipt. Is this right or fair? We are satisfied that if the election h; d been carried 011 legitimately tiie movement would have won by a handsome majority. If by a fair election the voters in the new area say that they do not want a new county, we arc satisfied, but wo are not satisfied with such a fraudulent | election as this. This election I should be promptly protested and the I people allowed, by their ballots cast j fairly in till portions of the county, to say whether or not a new county shall be formed.?J'it Ion Herald. The most expensive book that was ever published' in the world is the official history of the war of the re hellion, which is now issued by tin government.of the United States ai a cost, up to date, of $2,33-1,328. Of this amount $1,18*1,?91 has been paid for printing ami binding. The I remainder was expended for salaries, rent, stationery, and other contingent and miscellaneous expenses, and for the purchase of records from private individuals. It wiil require at least three years longer and ttn appropriation of per Imps $000,000 to complete the work, so that the total cost will undoubt edly reach nearly $3,000,000. It will consist of 112 volumes, including an index and an atlas, which contains 178 plates and maps, illus truting the important battles of the war, campaigns, routes of march, plans of forts, and photographs ol interesting scenes, places and per. son s.

There are numerous varieties with many different claimants of the best merits of each, but I will only suggest a few kind, with their respective values based upon experience. The old-fashioned sugar yam is far superior to any for table use, but a\ery poor yielder. The Tennessee yum ranks next jn eating qualities, and is a much better producer. The vineless yam is only a fair eating po tato, but a good producer. Pumpkin yarn/foi\'people who like mush potatoes, is very good, also a very good producer. The potatoes that have been sold "under almost every name, because they were by far the largest producers are the St. Domin* go yams, often called the turpentine potatoes; a very poor table' potato, but by far the best slock potatoes. In planting out the draws we should avoid setting too close, and many failure can be attributed to that alone.' Ikd up the land three and a half feet rows and plant out two feet in the drill. Never let the potatoes get grassy. For fertilizing use stable manure very liberally, and sitpph nuiit it with wood ashes and acid phosphate in equal parts, for all potatoes require a large quantity of potash. There is no crop that we grow in the South more valuable on the farm than the I a wee i poiaioco, anu it is superior to all other crops tor hogs anil cows, he sides the vines make a superior hay. for keeping potatoes through the winter lknow of no perfict method, although I have heard innumerable process s discussed in the Georgia State Agricultural Society for years. I have found that the system used by our forefa'ln rs is as good as any. I belh ve that t he i auso of rot in potatocs is atmospheric, which produces the fungus germ similar to the fungus that rots the peaches.?*Vcic8 | ami Courier ('err* xjxuuh nt. _ b"-1' ? 1 ^nppie The iron grasp of scrofula has no mercy upon its victims.
