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.

other section of the State, having
placed seven judges on the bench
since the war, including Judge

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

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

for the preparation of the land and
planting sweet potatoes, and a few
, suggestions to your numerous readers
may he of interest to them. 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
