Judging from the crowds which have been flocking to Messrs Sol iBear & Bros' store during the week we should siy that those gentlemen have found their holiday season I any thing but a dull one. They and their corps of gentleraauly cierks have had their bands full. And there is to wonder about this, either, when we consider the immense stcck and the great 1 variety of goods they offer as Well as the low prices at which they are sold The people seam to have found facts and hence the rush, at this ment, k out these establish Cotton on the Sounds. i ! . ! We have very frequently been told that cotton could jnot be successfully cul- tivated on the Sound3 in this vicinity, and that the lands were only'! suited to peanuts and other crops which are i not exhaustive in their nature . Capt. A. A Moseley.of Scott's Hill, in Pender county, informs us, however, that he has made an effort in raising cotton on his planta tion, and that this year he secured 1,800 pounds of seed cotton from less than an acre of ground, j This, by the usual mode of calculation, would give a 600 pound bale to the acre, which is better than if usually done on the farms in noted cotton localities. , I 1 : The Ice Machine. By invitation of Dr. J. E. jWinants, t'ie inventor and patentee, we visited the Cjtton Compress warehouse today to witness the operation of his newly -in vented machine for the manufacture of ice. We regret that the pressure of busi ness was such that it was impossible for ua to remain and , witness the entire pro cess, but we remained long enough to see a part of the modus operandi and enough to satisfy us that his plan may be suc cessfully worked, and ice made by steam power instead of by the natural process. By starting the engine a current of cold are was pumped through an iron pipe in to the 'bo where the ice is made, and in about two minutes the temperature, was reduced from sixty to thirty degrees. This reduction in temperature was made with the top of the box entirely open. If it had been hermetically closed the reduc tion would have been, as a matter of course, very much greater. The Doctor told us that if we would wait an hour he woijld let in the water and make the ice, which we were very well satisfied he could do without difficulty. To our view the plan and we hope is made entirely feasible, that the pa'ience, perse verance and ingenuity of the inventsr may meet with a substantial reward. I Physicians' Wine.
