S'** * OUR FffiST COTTON. HISTORY OF ITS CULTIVATION FROM ITS DISCOVERY. James Otis Prentiss Planted for the Blarket in 1791 Near Orangeburg. ken. Hade HatfrpMni Has the First to Use Water as the Pro pelling Power to Whitney’s Cot ton Gin. Cotton was early sold in Charles ton. The packages in which it was put up varied in weight from one to thirty pounds. In 1787 the fleecy staple was taken to the City by the Sea from Orangeburg, Newberry, and, perhaps, from Union, and sold at two pence a pound to the mer chants, who resold it mainly to the ladies to make “patchwork bed qniltsJ’ About the year named two or three bags, each weighing near a hundred pounds of seed cotton, were packed in the store of Wadsworth & Turpin by Samuel Mayerick and Jeffrey, a half-blood Indian. (This Maverick, by the way, claimed to be the first person that made sugar iu South Carolina. About the year 1800 he planted some ribbon cane, purchased iu Havauna, in Ins lot to the gsst of the present orphan house. . It yielded 300 pounds. The cane was pounded in a mortar and the juice boiled in iron pots) These bags were sent to England as a sample and an experiment. The parties to whom they were sent wrote that the article was not worth producing, as it could not be sepa rated from the seed. In 1794 Dr. James Otis Prentiss planted cotton for market near Orangeburg court house. Either iu that year or the next Col. William Thomas, the Revolutionary soldier, planted cotton to sell at Bellville, iu St Matthew’s parish. In 1790 cul tivators of this crop appeared in sev eral parts of the State. Among them was Samuel Felder, of Orange burg. John Mayrant and Asbury Sylvester first grew cotton in the high hills of Santee in the year 1798. A year later Gen. Wade Hampton introduced the plant into Richland District, gathering over 000 bags from 600 acres. Gen. Hampton was the first man in South Carolina to use water us Die propelling power to Whitney’s cotton gin.. Fifty years ago Col. Wade Hampton wrote Whitemaruh B. Seabrook: • “When Whitney’s gin was exhibited in Georgia none tint women were permitted to enter the room. An ingenious mechanic at length introduced himself into the apartment in woman’s appirel, and, by a minute examination of the ma chine^ satisfied himself that he could not only imitate but improve on its construction by making it more effi cient This discovery was commu nicated to my father by Gen. Gun, who spoke so confidently of the capacity of this individual that my father was induced to visit him at his residence in Georgia. This visit resulted in a contract for three gins, applicable to a large scale of opera tions and they were unquestionably the first ever driven by water power.” It has been written that Gen. Hampton’s gins were furnished by an ingenious artisan of Georgia, as sisted by Wiliiam Munson, of Rich land. These gins were roughly con structed, still they w ere models for others made in 1801 by William Munson and James Boatwright, of Columbia. These were the first of the new machines of home manufac ture. Gen. Hampton was not, how- eyer, the first to use the Whitney gin in South Carolina. Capt. Kin- kaid, of Fairfield, put up ouc near Monticello in 1795. How to dispose of the cotton seed was a perplexing problem to some of the eariy spinners. It was consid ered worthless and carelessly thrown on the ground like sawdust The hogs ate the seed aud died. Then it was put up in pens like shucks. The pigs got the seed out through the cracks and soon went the way of their elders. As a last resort and h iping to get rid of the “nuisance,” the seed was dumped into the creek, but in time of low water an odor was generated which was so offensive as to create a strong feeling of prejudice against the further culture of the crop. “The fear of “overproduction” is ao new thing. Ninety years ago an opinion prevailed that the supply of cotton would soon exceed the de mand. A planter of St. John’s, Colleton, looking at his first crop, the produce of a few acres, after it had been housed, exclaimed: “Well, well, I am done with the cultivation of cotton! Here is enough to make stockings for all the people in America.” These items, Mr. Editor and kind reader, are taken from an essay on the cotton plant, written two score and ten years ago, by an Edisto Island planter, Whitmarsh B. Sea- brook, afterwards governor of our State, whose very words and sen tences have been freely used.—W. S. M., Ckmson College, S. C. Foor Sally. A charming young woman, just entering what, is called society, met a distinguished lawyer at a reception, and was much flattered when he asked leave to call upon her the next evening. She consulted one or two friends as to the best method of making his call agreeable. “I’m nearly scared to death,” she confessed to one of them. “They say he’s awfully smart, and I’m afraid I won’t talk well enough to please him. Now you’ve known him a long time; do tell me what sub jects to discuss, and I’ll run home and get ready for him.” “Well,” said the kind-hearted friend, “literature is his fad. You can’t go wrong if you turn the con versation into that channel.” With this valuable hint Miss Budd hastened home aud devoted the rest of the day to reading. Promptly at eight o’clok the young lawyer was ushered iuto the draw ing-room. “Wasn’t it a delightful reception we attended last evening?” he asked presently, by way of opening the conversation. “O, yes,” was the enthusiastic re sponse ; “but wasn’t that sad about poor Mary Queen of Scots! They cut her Lead off, you know.” It is to be regretted that the re mainder of this very literary conver sation is not reported.—Minneapolis Tribune. Needed Attention. Lady—“Doctor, I wish you would around to see my husband some evening when he is at home. Do not let him know that I asked you,’ because he declares he is not sick; but I know he has consumption, or something, lie’s going into de cline.” Doctor—“I am astonished, but I will call. What are his symptoms?” “He hasn't any except weakness. He used to hold me on his lap by the hour aud now even the baby tires him.” America’s Richest Hebrew Dead. Albert S. Rosenbaum, probably the wealthiest Hebrew in America, died very suddenly in New Yerk, Saturday, after a brief illness, from asthma, which had developed into heart trouble, at his home, No. 44 Ninth street. He was 00 years of age. Mr. Rosenbaum was one of the largest tobacco importers in New York. Ilis wealth is estimated to reach the huge sum of $30,000,000. A Milllon~Fricnds.

Some years ago there lived in Perth, Scotland, a man of convivial habits, well known by his Christian name, Jamie. One dark night an acquaintance found Jamie lying at the foot of an outside stair. “Is that you, Jamie?” asked the ac quaintance, in a voice of the greatest astonishment “Ay, it’s me,” replied Jamie, in a tone of complete resigna tion. “Have you fa’en doon the stair?” was the next question. “Aye, I fell doon ; but I was coming doon, whether or no.”—London Figaro. It’s a cold day when you can’t find sunshine somewhere in this world. It makes your burden twice as heavy to think about it If the flowers were as dissatisfied as human beings are, we would have to use disinfectants on them. A poem without a soul cannot hope for immortality. The man who takes a smile away from his family to give it to some body else, ought to be lynched. Mrs. Blinks—Why do you stay at the club until 2 o’clock in the morn ing! Just tell me that, will you? Mr. Blinks—So you’ll be too sleepy to talk very long about it, my dear.

Only those in broadcloth, John, Go in at your front door; And homespun batternut is all Youi father ever wore. The hack way through the kitchen, John' Is the only way 1 knew, And I have come to tell you, John, We’ve not gone buck on you. To say your fath> r loves vou still, I've come within your (loi rs; Somehow the tendrils of my heart (teach ont and twine with yours ; Now, can’t you yut your hand in mine? ’Tis a little thing to do— Oh j don’t go b trk on the old folks,John, They’ve not gone hack on you. Your mother often wonders, John, At the silence on your part— Aud always when she speaks of you 1 see the teardrops start. Ah! tender is the father’s love, Jiut h mother’s love’s more true ; Oh! don’t go back on your mother, John, A mother kind and true She’s getting old and feeble, John; Her hair is streaked with gray ; Oh ! won’t you e >mc and see her, John, I’efore she’s called away? Site keeps a picture of you, John, As a boy with eyes of blue; Oh ! don’t go back on your mother, John, Whatever else you do. Your brothers Thomas is the staff Of our declining years; And, John, he is as good a lad As you’ll find anywhere, And was it not for him, dear John, We’d know not what to do ; 1 know you’ve not forgot him, John ; He sends his lo\e to you. “How’s Susie? ’ Oh! ’tis Nature’ touch That makes you feel akin To that sweet rosebud of our home, An angel free from sin. Olt! John, now take my hand in yours, While 1 speak of little Sue; My words will lead you back to those Who’ve not gone hack on you. She used to he your idol, John, Before you ieft the farm; The roses that she plucked for you Than gold had greater charm. Here is a rose from off her grave; Here’s a tress of golden hue; Come, take the old folks to your heart, Where they have long had you. —Will Waters, in Pennsylvania Grit. God's Evening, As reapers, weary of the day, Turn homeward at the tide of night. Their faces quiet in the gray Of restful evening’s softening light. Their wistful eyes turned wide and calm Toward some dear spot where kindred wait, Some simple homestead on the farm With blossoms nodding at its gate; So oftentimes my spirit turns Towards God. my peaee, my eventide, While every thought within me yearns For rest and quiet at His side. I’ve heard the songs that minstrels sing Of fadeless morns that w reathe God's brow, The beauteous light of endless spring Before whose beams arehangles bow; But let me lift my simple strain To tell the weary iu life’s way How in God’s nature there remain Hushed evenings holy as the day— Dear, restful shades that know no care. Secluded calms for refuge given, To which the weary may repair Like reapers turning home at even. Yea, unto me, in God there shines Not only sun, but evening star; Light softened where the soul inclines To rest where evening’s shadows are. It may he endless morning springs Beyond you heavenly gates cmpearled, But, alt! the shadow of God’s wings Is indeed by this weary world. We iovc His day. His living light. But that dear eve we cannot spare, Till we have no more need that night Should close our eyes to healour care. —Ernest Warburton Shurtleff. The Sleigh Ride. Just room for two, not too much room; I tuck her in all snug and warm; I’m conscious of Iter hair's perfume And of the nearness of her arm. I shake the lines out free and guy, The sleigh bells chime, and ’ we’re away. Across the crisp and glittering snow, Leaving behind the city street, Its garish glare and noise, we go Into the darkness still and sweet; And here and there a household gleam Flits by us in a Hying dream. How speed the horses gnyly driven! The sweet bells clatter silvery mirth, And every star is white in heaven And every field is white on earth. How dark the brightness seems, how bright The darkness of the winter night! We pass the open mad like wind, But in the dim and shadowy lanes Our wild pace slackens, and l’ find One hand enough to hold the reins; And, somehow, when 1 try to speak, My words are kisses on her check. Ah, life is fair in many ways, And full of dear, enchanting hours! And love is sweet in summer days 'Mid blossoming paths and sylvan bowers; Hut let me choose, all bliss above, A sleigh ride with the girl I love. Close to Si>rinliDic. Gettin’ close to springtime—know it by the way The eui; is streamin’, gleamin’ iu the middle o’ the day; Know it by the river that is lazy in' along, An’ the mockin' birds a-primpin’ o' their feathers for a song! Gettin’ close to springtime—know it by the sign; Hear it in the whisper o’ the maples an’ the pines; Feel it in the Mowin’ o’ the breezes, singiii’ sweet; See it in the daisies that are dreamiu’ at my feet. Gettin’ close to springtime; hope she’ll come to stay; Got a million kisses for the red lips o’ the May! Weary in' to meet her—Ust’nin’ all the time, For the tinkle o’ her footsteps—her roses an’ her rhyme! —Frank L. Stanton. IlST TZEEE IR-A-OE. Atlantic Coast Take Yonr County Paper.
