A VAST INDUSTRY
THE ENORNMOUS GROWTH OF
A NOVEL BUSINESS.
WHAT MR GEORGE W. SCOTT HAS DONE
IN THE WAY OF ENCOURAGING
SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.
No person who has not been on intimate
terms with Gossypium-Phospho either by
knowledge of its wonderful qualities
through the records or by the experience
derived from its use, can imagine what a
marvelous impetus it has been to Southern
agriculture or what a tremendous industry
its own manufacture has become in Georgia.
Experimentally it has been found to excel
all other artificial aids to thorough and rapid
vegetation. The production of Gossypium-
Phospho has made such startling advances
from its inception, and its use is now so
general, that we condense a brief descrip
tion of its orign and dcvclopement:
At the close of the war Colonel George
W. Scott was in command of the Confed
erate forces in the sub-district of Middle
and West Florida and Southwest Georgia.
After the surrender he returned to his
plantation near Tallehassce, where he won
the esteem and confidence of the people of
Florida, who offered him the highest hon
ors within their reach.
Realizing that the old system had passed
away, and that planting, to be profitable
with free labor, would admit of an economy
of labor, Cojonel Scott turned his atten
tion to collecting all the manures originating
on the plantation, compressing them with
cotton seed, and, to the fullest extent using
everything that could be made available.
He soon found, however, that with all Ins
efforts, he could not get together from these
sources sufficient material to properly
manure more than one-third of his crops.
As an experiment, lie purchased in Balti
more, a ton each of Peruvian guano and
John Merriman’s Ammoniatcd Phosphate,
the former costing him delivered at his
plantation, sllO, and the latter, SBS in
gold. These he applied iu 1866, alongside
his compost and obtained good results.
The cost, however, was ;.fo, .high that he
turned his attention to' ori'giuMing wsub
stitute at home. In his s’&rches for infor
mation he purchased “Veil’s Works on
Agriculture in France” and several works
on experiments with fertilizers in Eng
land. Having a fine crop of sugar cane
that year, and, a3 a result, over fifty barrels
of syrup, he said to the foreman lie would
“give a gallon of syrup for each one hun
dred pounds of good, dry bones delivered
at his ginhouse.” Ilis foreman made his
proposition generally known in that densely
negro-populated section, and, it is stated
pretty soon it string of negroes with bags of
bones on their heads, supplied him with
a pile of bones nearly as large a3 his gin
house. Through the shaft of the sugar mill
he put arms to drive a set of heavy cast iron
stamps, which, with a cast-iron bed plate,
constituted an efficient mill for crushing
the bones. They were treated with sul
phuric acid which was shipped from New
York in carboys, and after a thorough
manipulation were turned out a tolerable
article of superphosphate. This was com
posted with cotton seed. Finding in the
French and English works referred to that
experiments with rape-seed cakes compost
ed with phosphate gave good results, he
concluded to test cotton-seed cake and see
what fertilizing properties it had. In 1867
he procured a ton of cotton-seed cake, had
it analyzed, [and finding it contained more
nitrogen than rape-seed cake, had it broken
up and ground. In this pulverized state
it was mixed with bone phosphate and wood
ashes. This mixture gave marked results,
even alongside the mixture of phosphate
and cotton seed. The reasons were appa
rent. The meal was in condition to be
assimilated as plant food, and one pound of
it contained as much ammonia as three
pounds of seed, thus making a more con
centrated manure. He also found in the
works mentioned that the florists and
gardeners of the nobility, when the flowers
and vegetables were wanted out of season,
forced them into maturity in the conserva
tories by a solution of nitrate of soda and
sulphate of ammonia. All these ideas he
combined, realizing that he had in the bone
the best known base—that in the pure
ammonia which would go into solution as
soon as it came into contact with the soil, he
had a material that would at once pusli for
ward the young plant into a vigorous g rowth ;
that in the cotton seed be liad a material
which would gradually give off its ammonia
as it went into decomposition in the soil,
thus carrying the plant through the season
without danger of shedding. By using
high grade muriate as the material he had
the formula complete for the now famous
Gossypium Phospho (cotton phosphate)
Gossypium being the generic name of cot
ton.
Soon after the phosphate beds were dis
covered iu South Carolina, Colonel Scott
was invited to join his friends in Charleston
in the organization of the Stono Phosphate
Company, was made one of the first board
directors, and was until a few years ago,
actively connected with the interests of the
company. In 1876 he came to Atlanta, and
in the following spring commenced, in a
small way the manipulation of Gossypium,
having had the various materials properly
prepared at the chemical laboratories for his
use. When he first called at the Agricul
tural department and requested an inspec
tion and analysis, stating the ammoniating
material was derived largely from cotton
seed meal, the commissioner, Dr. Janes,
said “he doubted if he could admit it to
inspection as it could hardly be classed as
a commercial fertilizer—the planters having
at home the material in better form, i. e.,
the cotton seed.” After a suggestion from
Colonel Scott that be had come there to
make it, and if it was a fraud it was the
duty of the department to expose it. It was
inspected and Gossypium Fhospho started
on its career as a full fledged commerlcial
fertilizer. The cotton seed mills have in
creased since 1876 from six to 154, and
thus the cotton seed, which was almost a
•waste on the plantation has become one of
the valuable farm products of the South,
In the meantime Gossypium lias grown so
steadily in its favor and their trade has so
largely increased that Messrs. Scott & Cos.
have found it necessary to enlarge the ca
pacity of their building.
They have therefore just erected probably
altogether one of the most complete manu
facturing establishments in the United
States.
To give our renders an idea of this great
establishment we will mention that there
were used in the construction of improve
ments put In tliis summer IH4 car loads of
granite, 800,000 brick, 000,000 feet of him
her, 835,000 immikls of iron, 50,000 chemical
brick, and 880,000 |x.UUda of lead. James

The capacity of the works is Dow about

The machinery in the new mill is driven
by an engine of 120 horse power. The
fuel used is cotton seed hulls, which are
blown through so iron pipe from the cotton
seed oil mills 600 feet distant.
Messrs. Scott & Cos. import the foreign
material used by the cargo.
The muriate potash from the mines of
Germany, and the nitrate of soda from
Peru.
The sulphur from the volcanic regions of
Sicily.
The sulphate ammonia is purchased in
Chicago. The phosphate materials are
brought direct from the mines on the Stono
river near Charleston, and the cotton seed
meal from the mill oil the premises, in
which Messrs. Scott & Cos., are interested.

A PLEASANT VISIT
PROFITABLE CALL.
<-•- • •• • >
On Thursday the 7th of October just past, Mrs. Wise called to spend the afternoon with Mrs. Strange. After exchanging the
usual preliminaries the following conversation ensued, consuming the whole afternoon.
Says MBS. WISE—"I have just relieved myself of a great burden, so pleasantly, easily and agreeably too, that I must tell you
about it. Ours, as you know, is a large family, four girls and two boys, most of them now at school. To buy all their outfits for
the fall and winter is a great task. Mr. Wise suggested, as our bill would amount way up into the hundreds, that we first visit
Athens, Augusta and Atlanta before purchasing. To these places we went. Their stocks were full, varied and attractive—prices
moderate. Not being fully satisfied and having heard of
THE GREAT SOUTHERN EMPORIUM OF
CIFILAI. t 111 IS t & ! Mill
QEEEITESBOEO, 0-^_„
we decided to pay it at least a visit and see if the reports current were true. So we went and strange to say spent the whole day.”
“Go on. Do tell me all about them.”
“Well, give me time. Their store is the largest for an interior town in the State and brim full from basement to attic. We
asked to be shown first through their
Dress Goods Department
which alone covers one entire section in the building.
Fancy Dress Goods 5, 6s, and 10c yard, prettiest I ever saw. Mohairs, Cashmeres, Twills. Brocades and Lusters for 10, 12i
and 15c yd that were simply wonderful. All colors and shades of plain Dress Flannels all wool 25c up. Single and double all wool
Tricots, all shades, 335, 85 to 55c yard. Double width colored Cashmeres, all shades, 20. 25, 83$, 40, 50 and 75c yard in plain,
striped, brocaded and plaids. Block double width Cashmeres and Mourning Crapes from 20c to $1.25 yard.”
“Go on I”
“Their stock of Velvets and Velveteens eclipses anything I ever saw—plain, striped, checked and fancy fromsoc to $3 yd. They
are gems, yes, lovely gems, and their stock of black and
COLORED CROS CRAIN SILKS,
plain and fancy Satins all colors and prices from 50c yd up, would do lavish credit to any wholesale bouse.
“They have everything you can think of, conceive of or imagine I and strange to say they have the newest and latest style
trimmings and buttons to match every piece of goods. No trouble. It is indeed wonderful.”
“Go on 1”
‘‘Such a selection of Gloves, Hosiery, Jersey Cape Collars and Kids I never expect to see again. All prices, all styles and
UlI! HOW GHSJI? I
Zephvr Shawls, all colors. Shoulder Shawls 12jc up, large shawls for 50c up. White, cream, tan, blue, scarlet and
black Cashmere Shawls, in plain nd embroidered, all prices—all the go. Balmoral Skirts, ladies Merino Uudervcsts, Hamburg Edging
and Insertion, Laces and Embroidery in white and colors, Torchon Laces white and colored, and every other kind you ever heard of.
Truthfully I never saw such a grand and varied assortment of these goods.”
“Go on!
“Well, they showed us next their lines of Cotton and Silk Handkerchiefs in which there is everyliing the heart could wish from
scts to 15cts. Linen Embroidery Goods, all ready stamped in Chair Tidies, Splashers, Bibs, Mats, Napkins. Watchcases, Umbrella
Cases, Wall Pockets, etc., etc., with new shades in Utopia Embroidery Linen to work them with. They also showed as the loveliest
assortment of
Turkish Chair Tidies !
AND SPLASHERS I ever beheld. This is so.”
“Go on!”
“The temptation was growing too great, so we asked to see the Prints. I tell you, Mrs. Strange, they showed us about COD
pieces prettiest Dress Prints my eyes ever rested on—s, 6 and 6jets. They can suit and please any living being. They showed us the
prettiest line of Spread Prints, first and second Mourning Prints and Cretonnes I believe that were ever made. It is the truth. Go see.”
“Go on!”
“We did go on nntil we came to the
JERSEY JACKETS!
And there we stopped, and you would have stopped too. They only have twenty-five varieties—this is all that’s made. Black Jerseys
Blue Jerseys, Brown Jerseys, Red and Garnet Jerseys, Cream Jerseys and Buckle Jerseys in plain, plaited, braided, striped, checked
and I don’t know what else only they asked from 50cts each to $5.00. This beat anything I ever saw. Don’t take my word for it,
but go and see for yourself.’
“Go on!”
“This we did until we reached the Newmarket, Cloak and Jacket Departments, and there we stopped again. Let me tell you,
they have a slock of these goods that half the stores could not have. Newmarkets in black and brown, plain, fur and astrachan
trimmed from $3.50 to $20.00. Buckle Newmarkets all prices, Cloaks from $1.25 up. Short Jackets in black and brown all prices.
This department is the show of shows. 1 could talk a week about it.”
“Go on.”
“Next they carried us to the Flannel and Domestic Department, where is kept all grades, colors and prices of red, white, colored
FUMU IHUtYI
Sheetings, Shirtings, Bleachmgs, Tickings, Drills, Pillow-casings, Sack and Shirt Flannels—in fact, this department is a store in
•‘Goon!”
“Well, we went next to the Linen Department where they keep Table Damask all colors, widths and prices. Towels, Napkins,
Doyleys and Crash, Cassimere, Waterproofing, Stationery, Pocket and Table Cutlery, Books, Bibles, gents Collars and Cuffs, Cann
ed Goods by the car load. Pockctbooks, Photo and Auto Albums, Visiting Cards and everything else you can think of.”
“Go on !”
‘•Then we went down to the SHOE DEPARTMENT where they keep, it would seem to me, all the shoes that have been
made in Boston since the war—lßo lines, every style imaginable, all the celebrated makes from 10c to *6.00. They can and will
suit you and don’t you forget it.”
“Do go on!”
“We dio, and crossed over to the Clothing, Hat and Shirt Department. Let me take off my specs and tell you.—Theyhave the
grandest Clothing we ever saw. Childrens’ boys’ and men’s
and, rcoats,
every style and color made, at prices that will starve the manufacturers. Their Hats-l do believe they have a thousand different
styles and colors, children’s, boys and men's in Wool, Furs and Stiff Brims, from 20c to $5.00. This the place of all places to buy
Clothing, Hats and Shirts.” y
“Go on I”
“Well don’t burry me. They next carried us up stairs and showed us the finest Carpet and Rug department, I believe, in the
State. Hemp Carpets 18$c up, Ingram Carpets all prices, Brussels Carpets 65c up, Rugs to match.
“Near by is their great Art Gallery, brim full or fine Cliromos and Oil Paintings. To the left is their great Crockery and Glass
ware department, containing everything in this line. Tea Sets containing 44 and 56 pieces $5.00 to $125 set; plain and fancy Bed
Room Sets ; plain and fancy Glassware. This department is a show—more like a wholesale thaD a retail division ”
“Goon!”
“Then we passed through their great Tinware, Wood and Willow ware division ; Harness and Saddlery department. I can only
say that 1 never in all my life saw their equal. Aou can buy any thing here you want at wholesale prices.”
“Go on 1” r
“We did, go right on, and walked into one of the handsomest
MEMORY. DBPARTMMIS
that we have been into in many days. Was introduced to that polite and artistic Milliner, Miss McColgan. of Baltimore, who
showed us her stock. Here, Mrs. Strange, suffice it to say her stock is all that heart could wish. I caunot say more. (Jo and see.”
“Fiom here they earned us into their great Furniture Room 30x105 feet. My eyes opened wider still as. I mzod on that nalace
Truthfully, I had never seen half its equal. Suits of all prices and descriptions in Walnut, Cherry and Asn. Bunsaus from $6.00
