each. The distribution of this feytili.
ger through the South Atlantic cotton
belt Is telling wonderfully ON tho in
creased production Of cotton on the old
and worn lands Of these States. While
the production Of cotton hs. nearly
doubled in tho last decade, the increase
far outs tripping the increase of popula.
ton ;the greatest specific increase being
in the Atlantic cotton States, which
have first felt the influence of the ph6s-
pilates, where the product per acre has
almost reached that Of Mississippi and
Texas. In 1880 there were in South
Carolina alone about 1900 looms and
about $4,000 spindles,. as against 7u0
looms and 80, 900 spindles in 1870, and
it is only now, in 1881, that the people
are really turning their attention to this
branch Of industry, realizing, at last
what has been repeatedly urged by
sagacious writer's, that the looms should
be brought to the cotton, rather than
the cotton should be carried to the
looms. Southern spinners have some
decided advantages over their Northern
competitors. They get the raw material
from or very near the producer, and
therefore at lower cost; the cotton is
cleaner, and there in less waste; the
operatives live more cheaply, and are
satisfied with less wages; the hours of
labor are longer; and lastly, q part Of
the products can be sold directly from
the mill, and therefore ct saving in
the cost of transportation. But the
most gratifying feature is that the bulk
OF the capital invested has been furnish
ed by Southern people"

A Story Of ssWild Bill"

Wild Bill was one of the genuine
Indian scouts" of Gen. Custer. He was
a fellow Of most singular temperament,
and was known on the plains as Wild
Bill, albeit his actual name was James
Hickok. Wild Bill, under circumstances
Of particular aggravation, shot and
killed a desperate in Missouri Years
afterward, Bill became a member Of
Buffalo Bills droll theatrical company,
and, in compliance with the story OF
the play, had to repeat every night
upon the stage the killing which, as a
reality had made him famous. Bill
watched the FIRST rehearsal patiently.
then he went to the stage manager. Il
can't kill that thar chap, no how" quoth
Bill. "Why not?" inquired the man
ager. "Well," said Bill, TRANQUILITY,
Buffalo sings him around in the first
act, and Maeder clips him in the ear in
the second act, and Mrs. Maeder drives
him out of the ranch with broom in
the third act. Then I've got to kill
him after all in the fourth act. Why,
never killed such coyote as that in my
lifel It's all wrong, pardnerl It's all
wrong making him out such squaw-
man as all that. By goll, sir. he was
the biggest gentleman, I ever shot!"
Although he carried dozen bullets,
more or less, deeply imbedded in his
flesh, Wild Bill never sustained an in
ternal wound. He was killed, while
playing cards, by scoundrel who, for
$500 blood-money paid him by gam.
blers, sneaked up behind Bill and blew
his brains out. Bill was, strangely
enough, very honest and courageous
fellow, who, in the Office of Marshal,
was the terror of the crooked" gam
blers of the territory. The post NOR
tenn examination of his remains ex-
planned his immunity from penetrative
bullet-wounds. 1t was discovered that
his ribs were welded together, the in
tercostal cartilages and muscles having
osifed. His lungs and heart, therefore,
we're naturally protected by cuirass of
bone. Such was the wonderful rapidity
with which Bill could draw his pistol
that, even in the sudden death which
befell him, he had time enough and
sense enough to put his hand upon the
butt of his revolver.

The Phosphates Of South Carolina

In paper on the resources of South
Carolina, read before the convention
of bankers at Saratoga, DR.. Andrew
Simonds gave some interesting statistics
of the phosphate trade and its influence
upon TIE general prosperity of the
State. The first shipments of crude
rock we're made in 1867, six tons to
domestic ports, which has increased
year after year, the shipments to both
foreign and domestic ports reaching in
1881 near 100000 tons crude rock,
marketed by both the land and water
companies. An idea of value of the
deposits may be formed from the fact
that the shares of one company of the
par value of 800 have sold . d, 900

An HarbOr in the Open Gulf.
Between the mouth of the Mississil

Between the mouth of the Mississippi
and Galveston, about ten or fifteen
miles to the southwest of Sabine Pass,
is q place in the Gulf of Mexico which
is commonly called the Oil Ponds by
the captains of the small craft that ply
in that locality There is no land
within fifteen miles, and yet such is the
effect of the oil thus cast upon the wa
tiers by the lavish hand of nature that
even in the severest storms the sea in
the Oil Ponds is comparatively smooth,
and SO well is this known that when the
small vessels that trade between Cal
casieu, Orange, Sabine, Beaumont and
Galveston fail to make harbor at Gal
weston or Sabine, they run off for the
oil wells, let go their anchors and ride
out the gale in safety. The oil covers
the water in thick scum, and appa-
rently rises from the bed of the gull,
which at that point, is not more than
fifteen or eighteen feet below the sur
face. No one, we believe; has ever at
tempted to strike oil in the Gulf of
Mexico, but it is not extravagant to
exp ct that some day capital and enter
prise will succeed in securing the oil
which is now wasted in these wonderful
ponds and placing it on the market for
sale. There is here chance for scien-
tifc investigation at least, and it may
be that the Calcasieu Oil Company,
formed several years ago; may find in
the gulf the oil they have not succeed
ed in discovering, TO any great extent.
