ERolf7HE aERMANzE1ruSa.

How appreciated the germans are in
the up counties, is proved by circum-
stance which occurred in Abbcville. The
citizens of this toNn collected handsome
sum among themselves, engaged band
of music. and the largest hall, ordered
several kegs of Lager from Charleston,
then inviting all the German farm labor
ers around for twenty miles, with their
wives and children to ball, and it turned
out real merry ball. Everyone was
delighted, and the affair was success.
The native gentlemen and German ladies
enjoyed the waltz and polka together,
while the Germans were equally delighted
with the quadrille &c, and this free inter-
course of good feeling happened in town
where Germans we're hardly known here
tefore. Abbeville county orders now
1000 German farm laborers. This
county knows now what Germans can
do; circumstance of last year opened
the. eyes of its people; One family ofa
German, his wife and boy of eighteen
years, straycd to Abbcyille, where their
travel money ran out. They begged for
work, but nobody offered either work or
wages, finally n farmer engaged them, and
said he would risk the matter, to rent
them peicc Of land, also horse wagon
and pillow. and during the year to furnish
the provisions; If they should make
nothing, all right. The German began
work, rs only n German does, with n will
and n heart, the result of his labors, was
eight bales Of cotton worth $500, he gave
the farmer two bales rs rent, for the
land and the horse, two bales for adyan-
ced provisions, which left the renter
four bales, for Which he nt once bought n
horse and wagon. The farmer immediately
sold him 100 acres of land on ten years
credit, and now the German laborcr is his
own master, and probably this year will
make his eight bales of cotton, MS well as
his corn peas, DC, and then we may say
his earnings, will be his clear profit. How
long will it take before this German will
be an independent man; come one and
all and do the same.
