Wwlt Hampton, Father of South t"art>lina Governor and Senator Sea Island Development. The earliest mention of the cotton plant was 400 B. C.. when Herodo uih wrues or rne wua trees or inaia which "bear fleece as their fruit, surpassing those of sheep for beauts and excellence, and the Indians use cloth made from these trees." Xearchus, an admiral of the fleel of Alexander the Great, describes a machine used by the Hindoos foi separating the seed from the lint thus showing the even in those eat* days the progress which had beeii made in preparing the raw material for weaving into cloth. The Romans used cloth made ol cotton very extensively, and its use was well known in China in remote 1 periods. It was found in use among the Indians in Central America and Mexico I when the Spaniards came. Spinning and weaving were practiced by the women of the West Indies when Columbus landed in those islands Their suspended beds were made o! I the cloth, and called "humacs.' where we have the modern name ol hammock. Its early discoveries of the Mesjchacehe, or Mississippi, saw cottor growing in 1726. It was the staple j product of Hipaniola, and in 175.3 [Jamaica exported two thousand ' bags. It was stated in Carroll's Historl cal Collections that experiments wer'made on the Ashley river as early a< 1670 in the growing of cotton, and it was found to thrive well, but foi some reason it was given up. prob ably because of the difficulty in sep arating the seed. The earliest attempt to plant cot ton in South Carolina as a crop was [made in 1748, when seven bags wer? | exported to England, bringing threi pounds, seven shillings and sixpenr< per bag; again in 1751 cotton was ex ported in small quantities; this die not pay, however, and it was not un til 1788-1)0 that it was planted as : market crop to any great extent. 1770 there were shipped to Kn rope three bags of cotton from Nev I York, four from Virginia, two frou l Maryland, and three from Xort! Carolina. | In 1785 these exports amounted i< fourteen bags; 1786, six; 1787, om hundred and nine; 1788. three hun | dred and eighty-nine; 1780, eigh hundred and forty-two, and 1700 eighty-one. The first bags ot cotton sold ii South Carolina in 1784 were pur chased by John Teasdale fron Flryan Cope. In 1787, small quantities were sol< in Charleston, brought from Orange burg; principally purchased by la dies for lining bed quilts. In 1704 an American vessel ar lived at Liverpool from South Caro lina. As part of her crago were eighi bales of cotton, which were seized oi the ground that so much cotton coulf not be raised in the United States. The invention of the cotton gin bj Eli Whitney gave great impetus tc the growing of cotton in 1 704. A1 first this invention was carefullj guarded and exhibited to ladies only A man disguised as a woman saw th< working model, made certain im provements, and so introduced it tc the public. The State of South Carolina paid Whitney the sum of fifty thousand dollars for the privilege of the fret use of his gin in the State. The first improved gin was uset hy (Jen. Wade Hampton, the fathei of our late Governor and senator. In 1793 Gen. William Moultri< planted one hundred and fifty acre: of cotton on Northhampton planta tion, but the crop failed because o! a lack of knowledge as to the culti vatlon. Capt. Peter Sinker, of St. Johns Berkelely, planted his cotton in hills four feet square, leaving two stalk: to each hill after thinning. In 179f he planted three hundred acres or Belvidere plantation in St. Johns which yielded an average productior of two hundred and sixteen poundper acre. He sold most of this crop for 7; cents per pound, some of it for 50 Four workings were deemed suf : flclent for a crop. The seed was planted in drills, and thinned and se lected by hand The daily task of a man being three and a half acres foi the first thinning per day, and four for the second. ! No manuring of fields or attempt at fertilizing was made; as one field showed signs of failing, another was selected. ; WS TUESDAY. NOV. 14. 191< m Of Cotton I rs Before Christ ? ? Before the introduction of machin j ery the seed was separated from the lint by hand; the average yield was I one pound of lime to three pounds of j seed. Verv little rare was inkon 001 quantity and not quality was the object. The first gin was a clumsy affair. 1 and was worked by the foot. Thei greater part of the ginning was donei at night or in the early morning. A hand doing four or five pounds each time. 1787, two bags of cotton were 1 sent to .England as samples. It was reported back that it was not worth producing because of the difficulty in separating the seed. This, how1 ever was before the invention of the! ' gin. , Cotton planting advanced rapidly! after 1794, and finauy entirely sup planted the culture of indigo, which! previous to that time was the staple' crop of this section of the country. Col. William Thomson of Orange : burg county, was the first extensive ^planter of that section in 1794. John I Mayrant, in 1797, was the first to, I plant cotton in Sumter. Gen. Wade M Hampton introduced it into Richland county in 1801. He was the first to f! use water power for propelling the machinery of the gin. He gathered a I crop of six hundred bags from six "!hundred acres. ' j Weaving the cotton cloth was done t'entirely by the hand loom until 1813. The power loom %as not successful until 182 J. The first sea island cotton was i planted on St. Simon's Island. GeorJgla, in 1788, from seed brought from I the West Indies. Mr. Kinsey Burden lootained some seed and was the first ( ! to introduce it into South Carolina. His first experiment failed, but he persisted in his etlorts in the face or difficulties. Mr. William Elliott planted a < I ^ small crop on Hilton Head anu met j with success. Mr. Burden continued j his efforts, and by a careful selection of seeds mlin? l? I ed. Anally Improved the staple, andj developed the sea island cotton asj we now know it. For many years i he kept the secret of his success. In 1825 he sold sixty hairs for one dolla. and sixteen cents per pound, and in 1828 for two dollars. Mr. Burden * was the tirst planter to use Hessian | *|cloth for packing his cotton. So (carefully was this precious product! II put up that for a time the outer bags 81were lined with cotton cloth to pro-j Ittct the cotton from dust and dirt. | 1 At first some of the Knglish spin-' ners complained that the staple was too long, and used to cut it shorter.! 1. The cultivation of sea island cot"| ton increased enormously, and the; ' sea coast planters grew rich. Many! 'are the tales told of the wealth and ' hospitality of these ante-bellum cot-; [ton growers. So well well known were their brands that often the crop was soldi |by that, rather than by sample. t | Of course the civil war brought 'ruin and desolation to this industry. I | .'The seed deteriorated to such an e\-1 1 , tent that after the war the only pure . seed known was contained in an or ; ^ dlnarv envelope, which wtis given I I by ('apt. Cleorge ('. Heyward to Mr. . Joseph T. Dill. Mr. Dill planted this seed, and it is said that all the pres, ent sea island cotton came from this small remnant. J The value of cotton seed was almost unknown, and thousands of I'tons were annually thrown out into I the fields and allowed to rot as a J fertilizer for the next crop. For many years both the short and long I staple cotton was packed only in I . bags. The cotton bales came later,i 1 : mm infii me rnniprcss.
