SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
How General Hampton's pIanta.
ton Rented After the War.

An article inspired by the
d-Lth If James Richardson, the
great cotton planter, gives some
very interesting facts concerning
the Soutl's great staple. The
article appear ed 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 h failure. The
best plantations in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Alaba-
ma were leased to great Northern
companies. Cotton was worth %
cents per pound. These lands had
made 5O0-pound bales to the acre.
They had lain four years follow
ing during the war, and would do
again what they had done. The
native planters were glad to have
their places restocked for them.
So they willingly made three
year leases, the conditions always
being that at the expiration of the
lease, his place, with its stock,
should revert to its owner. Some
immense rentals were paid. The
Andrews brothers gave General
Wade Hampton $40, 900 per year,
from 1865 to and including 1868,
for his Walnut Ridge plantation
of 5000 acres, on Lake Wash
ington, Miss. for the Carolina
place and another plantation of
r-4bout the ssme size as the first
one mentioned, the firm IF Hoyt,
Sprague & Co., of Providence,
r. l., paid quite as great sum.
These Northern gentlemen said
they would show the Southerners
how to grow cotton. The old-
time planter thankfully took his
check for the rental of his estates,
