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.

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.

Don’t Go Back on the Old Folks.
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.

It instructs you and bfoadens your views. It interests your wife,
and it educates your children. It comes to you eveiy week, rain
or shine, calm or storm, bringing you the news of the busy world.

The Love That Lasts for Aye.
I love him, but he ne’er shall know
How dear he is to me;
No matter wheresoe’er 1 go
My heart with him shall be.
Ah! if his love but equaled mine,
How happy we would be!
We’d ne’er sigh, we’d ne’er repine
While sailing life’s rough sea.
We’d simply let our hark drift down
Life’s winding, rippling river;
We’d have a care, not e’en a frown,
To cloud our faces ever.
And sweeter far a crust would he,
If flavored with his love,
Thau epicurean luxury
With one I could not love.
And tins 1 know—till eyes grown dim,
Till breath has passed away.
I’ll love him—yes, and only him;
My love will last for aye.
