OURSULU ISLANDS.
Number 150 .and not Promise to
be Very Valuable Additions.
Baltimore Sun.
Tho Sulu Islands, which the |
United States is to acquire, are in .
the Indian ocean, between tho J
Mindoro or Sulu sea on the north, j
iho Celebes sea on the south, the j
Island of Borneo on the southwest
and that of Mindanao on the
northoast. Their length is about
'200 miles.
The archipelago consists of
nearly 150 islands, most of them
small, and divided into three
groups, named after the three
principal inlands, Banoelan, in the
northeast, Sulu in the centre, and
ITawee-Tawee on the southwest.
Bascelan is of oolong form, about
forty-two miles long by six miles
broad. Sulu stretches thirty
1 five miles from east to west, with
a breadth of ten miles, TaweeTawee
is about thirty-five miles
jlong.
The other chief islands of the
group include i'ata on the south,
' and a small group called tho Ta
1 pool Islands on the southwest.
Among the trees that grow on
the islands are teak and sandal
| woods, and among tho fruits are
1 the cocoanuts, bananas, mangoes
and oranges. Wild boars ami
ideer are common. Oxen, swine,
J gnats aad poult ry are abundant.
Tho islands were formerly noted
for piracy. The whole of Sulu
archipelago was under the sw.ty
of a despotic sultan, who claimed
sovereignty over i large part of
Ho* neo, but the Spaniards conquered
tho islands and annexed
I them to tho eo'ony of tho Phil
I Ti...
tion of the islands is estimated at
75,000.
Sulu, also culled Soung, the
principal town of the archipelago,
is Hituutcd on the northwest coast
of the island of that name, has a
| good roadstead, and, although
chiefly composed of huts, has
some houses of more ambitious
appearance. Its population is
about 6.000.

Hon General Hampton's Plantation
Rented Vfter the War.
An article inspired by the
'd^.ith "f .lames Richardson, the
>
|groat cotton planter, gives some
. very interesting facts concerning
the Sout i's great staple. The
article appealed in the Washing'
ton Post and has the following
which will be of interest to South
Carolinians:
"For three years after the war
the cotton crop was a failure. The
best plantations in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama
were loused to irfOftt \nrllioin
companies. Cotton was worth 515
cents per pound. Theso lands had
made 500 pound bales to the aerc.
They had lain four years following
during tho war, and would do
again what they had done. The
ativo planters were glad to have
their places restocked for them,
j So they willingly made threa
year leases, tho conditions always
j being thai at the expiration of the
^ lease, his place, with its stock,
should rovert to its owner. Some
immense rentals woro paid. The
Andrews brothers gave General
Wade Hampton $20,000 per year,
from 1865 to and including 1868,
for hiB Walnut liidgo plantation
of 5,000 acres, on Lake Washington,
Miss.; for the Carolina
place ami another plantation of
^.bout the same size as the first
one mentioned, the firm jf Hoyt,
Sprague & Co., of Providence,
R. I., paid quite as great a sum.
These Northern gentlemen said
they would show the Southerners
! how to grow cotton. Tho oldtime
planter thankfully took his
chock for the rental of his estates,
I sent his children to good Northern
and Kuropean schools, gave
his tenants advice when it whs
asked for, thanked God for his
good fortune, and waited.'*
