TEXAS COTTON,

The increase of the growth of Texas
is a. follows: In 1896, 100000 pounds;
in 1888, 400, 900; in 1889, 100000
in 1870, 1000, 900; in 1912, 100000 :
and in l945, 100000, by estimate.
This, however, is but small part of the
cotton raised there. These amounts were
taken from the returns of cotton imported
in New Orleans, entitled to debcnture.
But much olthe Texan cotton went through
the Custom House, at New Orleans, all
passing there as American cotton. A
hundred thousand bales is the estimated
cotton crop raised in Texas in lSl4.

FEARFUL DISASTER.

A most distressing disaster belel the
steamer Swallow on the 9Th instant. She
left Albany on the 7lh al 6s'elock in The
evening, having on baard passengers in
number varlously estimated at from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred and 6f.
ty, and a, little after s o'clock struck
upon the poin, of the island between Hud.
son and Athens with such force as to lift
the bow entirely out the water, break the
boat in two, and rendering her a complete
wreck. The horror Of The scene is past de.
scr'Ption. Here were exposed more than
300 souls in the midst Of falling snow aud
almost utter darkness, bot by the blessing
Of kind Providence but few lives were
lost. Several steamboats, were in attend
arce TO aid IN the rescuingrhe passengers,
and many from both sides Of tho river came
to render all the aid in their power.

ALLIGATOR.

The largest specimen of the Alligator
tribe wc have ever seen in South Carroll
ga, was exhibited last week 10 the citizens
Of Columbia, by Mr.. Daniel Kinsler, in the
rear of his store. II measured in length
between ii and - feet from the nose to
the end of the 'aiI. We learn that it was
captured on his mothers plantation in Lex
inston District, few days before. 1t was
confined in large wooden cage to prevent
its doing any harm, aud looked as savage,
when polked up, as disappointed Demo
cratic otlice-seeker Just from Washington.
Mr. kinsler, we understand, at first con.
templated sending il on as present to the
President, but was deferred, we believe,
by the unfavorabe reception which that
" horse and them boots met with from
that high functionary. The President, it
appears, would neither ride the horse
nor walk in the +" boots" Whether the
Alligator would have turned out boot-less
speculation or not, it is impossible 10 say.
As to them " BOOTS" we are happy to be
able 10 satisfy public curiosity: We learn
they lave been returned to Columbia, and
laid on the shelf and it is rumored tho in
dignaut proprietor swears,
Whoever doth those boots displaco,
Must meet Bombastes face to face"
