COTTON I Mi MACHINE.' PICK- A CHANGE IX FARMING. 1 have seen the cotton picker. Confidence is a plant ol slow growth. 1 reineinlier that when ' the .newspapers Hirst. U'gan to tell us about a sewing machine that Ehas Hov had invented that would do as mucli work in a day as a hundred women with their ne'edles I dident believe that a iiii.chine could imitate the nimble, delicate hands, and I felt like I dident want it to do it nohow. My good mother had been sewing for nie years and years, and when she finished for her darling son, a nice pleated bosom shirt, I was proud ot her and proud of the shirt too. Hut time rolled ou and the Grover & Baker machine got to circulating around,' and I found out that it was a good thing and would save a power of work,, and so 1 bought one for my -wife without any pre monition. What a beautiful seam stress she was. How nicely did she manipulate the needle and how dearly I loved to sit by and see her make stitch alter stitch on the muslin or calico or them other garments andthings that women and child reti and infants had to wear. We have had infants at our house, va rious infants and it has been a world of woik to keep 'em a going and stop 'em from squalling, but still there has lieen pleasure in it. .My good wife took it all naturally and like a maternal heroine as she is. I thought it was right funny for a while, but the fun wore oil" and I settled down to business. We have raised children by the pound ami by the 'dozen and by the cord but we have, never had one come to our house that wasent welcome, for they always come de cently and in good order and they have grown up to be good boys and lietter girls and gladden our hearts with their presence. But I have got off the track of my thoughts. I have seen the cotton picker and I want to tell you about it. Now I dident beliere tliat any machine could take the place Of human lingers in sewing and just so I have lieen incredulous about this cotton picking business. The truth is I made sport of it and told our-folks that it was impossible, ut terly impossible, for no machine could see, it dident have eyes and coiildcut find the bolls and some of the bolls weie half .open and some two thirds and some hung down and some stood up and and some opened east and some opciictofcpcst. and some one way and some an other and so I had noaith. not a bit. WlnU here at .Sumter I was in vited to walk out to Mr Masons workshop and 1 went. Mr. Mason is a bright, intelligent man about thirty years old. He loves compa ny and loves to talk and will lay down his tools and tell you every thing he know s. I don't supp se he has any secrets from anybody, no doors locked, no private room, no hiding place for his wonderful woik. lie shows yon everything and tells ou what he thinks of doing that he has not done. He gave me one ot the little revolving tulles that picks the cotton from the bolls. It is seven inches long arid i inches in diameter. This little thing is t he invention. All the rest of the contrivance is to put it in motion. - Four dozen of them will be working at once on a I cotton stalk and if there is any cotton open they will And it. There are two upright cylinders three feet high that straddle a cot ton row like a sulkey plow strad dles a row of coru aud these little tubes revolve horizontally in the cylinders. They tnm round and round rapidly. The cylinders re volve on their axis and these tubes revolve on theirs as they follow the cylintlers round and round. They are sure to touch every boll and if the' cotton has opened and swells out a fraction of an inch the little delicate' points of the pickers get it and roll it all out m an in stant atd by a reversed motion unload it on a platform and from there it is carried up and put in a sack and packed until it is full. Horse power pulls the machine along the row. ,The - machine weighs three hundred pounds. Some of them aie made for three feet cotton and some lor four and some for live. 1 saw the little spindles set to work on eotten bolls half opened and they left nothing, and yet they will revolve in your hand and not hint .ou or prick yon. There are 30O sharp points in each spindle. They are pist under the surface and will catch the lint but not our tlesb or the leaves or the stems. Tin' im pel leet machine of bust year picked :;0i pounds an hour. Tbe perfect machine w hich he has now is ex pected to pick CUO pounds an hour. Mr: -Mason bas his own machinery, makes his own lathe ami his dies and stamps and wheels and every thing. He is backed by capital unlimited aud has refused a mil lion of dollars tlmt wa,s offered him. He is making large ma chines for Texas and Arkansas and similar ones for the eastern His plan is. to charge a n,v:dtv and let the machines be made "anywhere. It is a thing of hto iUui sense and does just what tell it to do. When the cot , r- . n. ..;i Illll. IJ'.l .

The lint is not cut "LET ALL THE ENDS TIIOIT AIJ1 ST AT, BE THY COUNTRY'S, THY GOD'S. AND TRUTHS'." WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, AUGUST 1. 1884. or torn. He is using a Wiuship frame, taking out the saws and putting his cylinder in their place. It gins twice as fast as tbe saws ami there is uo danger to hands or arms. 1 put my open hand on the cylinder while it was making 2,000 revolutions a minute. He dropped a handful of shingle nails in the opening aud they were car ried through in an instant aud did no harm. Experts from northern factories gay the lint is worth ten per cent more than lint cut in the old met boil. I was running over this new mode of picking cotton, and to my mind it i going to work a revolu tion in our farming. In the first place a jtoor. man can't buy one.. In the next place he can't afford to sue uii.v eius a iiunureu ior pick- , nig when his nabor, who has got. a j lliiliililliA . I . . I I.I . .... 4-A.. . machine can lii.n. in iui ten tajiii, a huudred or less. Theu agaiu the machine wont work well on rough or hilly land, aud so that kind of land will have to be planted in something else. So I take it that poor folks and poor land will have to quit cotton and that will be a blessing. It may be, however, that some enterprising fellows will buy a machine, au go about in the settlemeut picking for the farmer just like they go about now threshing their wheat. What will become of the nigger women and children incbi ton time, I lont know; maybe we can hire them, to cook; And waslaV ter a while when they cant get sirrv thing else, to do, I hope so. Sumter is a good old town; the best shaded town 1, know of; elms and waiter oaks everyybere, and lovely.jcottiige hniuW. set back in spacious lots and surrounded with shade auif beautiful flowers and the sweetest fgirls sitting ft the broad piazzas, ainVthe preKieit children playing "ii tile grass, ;and.the good people are so hospitable and home like aud tie preachers so gentle and kind and have sucn good eat ing am) 'our jolly, landlord of the Jervy. house so merry apt' enter taining. There is no chance to be blue or homesick in Sumter. I i ever passed two days more, pleas antly and had rather make au an nual pilgrimage here than anywhere I have been. The best prospect for a coming, crop that I have seen, is here. The. cotton is splendid and the (torn high aud heavily eared all the way to Manning, which is an other lovely town, though not so old or so large as Sumter. These people go slow but they go sure and live happily and - content,. They show Content and leisu:e in their form aud feature, in their walk and conversation. They are not1 In a hurry. They have time to talk to you. They love their state and their town and their people. They stand up to their preachers and their .statesmen. Their lioys are sober and diligent and manly, and their girls are modes V l?wisli:tie boys and girls were srt everywhere," but they are norr- 1 was in a town not. long ago and i good man "told me he had but one daughter, and there was not a youug man in the town he was willing for her to mar ry, for they all drink on the sly and had no good principles to back them. Then I heard a young man in another town say he "did not marry because he could not afford to, lor the best girls did nothing but dress and visit, and he was afraid to marry one of them. Well, that, is bad and sad, aint it f But maybe the picture is overdrawn, 1 hope so. One thing I kuow. The hope ol the nation audits salva tion is in these small, unpretending ; towns and the good tanning coun I try that supports them. The young j folks are not afraid to marry there ! and they do marry and go to work j and live happily and humble aud j do not strain to keep up with so ! ciety, society ! Fashionable, hypo i critical society. I know of no greater curse to any land or peo ple. 1 wish every young man when he marries had the courage to say to his society friends, "Now, see here, we have started out with small capital and we cant follow you. When yon aie sick 1 will nurse yon, when you die I will help dig the grave and bury yon, but don't you try to toll my wife off into your extravagant notions and your society ways." Bill Arp.

GATHERING OF PROMINENT INDEPENDENTS. OPPOSING BLAINE. New York, July 22. a meet ing of independents opposed to Blaine was held to-day in Univer sity Club Theatre. For an hour before the time fixed there was an unusual stir in that generally quiet locality, and inside the corridors of n,0 little theatre consultation of Independents was busily carried . " on. Amoiiir the more ummineiit. j faces noticeable were t hose of Geo. I Win. Cnrtis and Car! Schnrz. The latter was the centre of an inter ested aud animated group. Olar ence Bow-en, of the ludeieiideut, and others, members of t he Brook lyn Young Republican Club, were also present. The secretaries made up the list of those who were to be present, which showed that Massa chusetts was more numerously rep resented man any other State ex cept New York. A few from New Jersey and Connecticut, and some from other distant States were on roll. The admission to the hall was by tickets, but anyone signing the fol lowing formula, which was furnish ed on printed slips to each appli cant, was given a card of admis sion without question: "Disap proving of the nominations made by the 'Republican National Con vention at Chicago as unworthy of supMirt, aud believing that the in terests of good government, and of public morals, demand the de feat of the Republican candidates for president and vice-president, and being therefore resolved not to vote for Blaine and Logan, I desire to take part with other Re publican and independent voters in the conicrcucc to In- held at University club theatre. Madison avenue and twenty-sixth street, New York, Tuesday, .lulv at 11 a. m." Among the Massachusetts dele gates were the following: Boston, Geo. W. Hale, F.C.Lowell, J. R.

Stinson ; Lexiugtou, Corneli us Wellington and c. S. Osgood. There were also delegates from New Haven, New .lersey, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. The hall was well tilled when tjie meet ing was called to order. The Na tional Temperance Society circula ted a memorial to the confereiu-e asking it to take cognizance of th alcoholic liquor traffic, and request ing that it would not eudorse the saloon plank of the Democratic platform, which says: "We oppose sumptuary laws which , vex citi zens aud interfere with individu al liberty." Among other prominent persons present were Benj. H. Bristow, W. C. Beecher and Francis V. Barlow . The members of the Indepeiiden! Executive Committee of Massachu setts were all present. They are Charles R. Codman, president; Moses Williams,; secretary ; Pui neas Pierce, Winston Warren, Geo. Fredrick Williams and Mans field Strong. The appearance of George William Curtis on the plat form elicited cheers and applause. Mr. Cnrtis called the meeting to order near noon, and welcomed the delegates. He read the call for the conference, and w lieu he reach ed that portion of it w hich related to Republicans who will not vote for Blaine and Logan, he was in terrupted by hearty applause. Chas. E. Codman was elected president. The list of vice-presidents and enrollment committee was read, including Carl Srlmi., General Barlow, and C. .J. Bona part, of Maryland. The nominees were all elected. Col. Codman made an address, in which he said:. You confer great honor on me in choosing me to preside over the - deliberations of. not a Ixnly of office holders, but of citizens, whose only desire is for the giod of the whole coun try. We have decided to c.isi aside party affiliations tbr the time In-ing. The nominal ion of the Republican parry for President is an insnlt to American manhood. Blaine has not cleared his record from the charges that he used his public office, for private gaiu, and we fear that he will continue in his usual methods. That he will prove no deadhead in any enterprise he may embark in, we make no charge against his private charac ter, but Blaine is not fit to lie President of the United States. There is no great issue clearly de fined lietween the two. parties, so that, we have to confine- ourselves to the question of the fitness of the candidates. We shall not give up our right to condemn and de nounce lawlessness and oppres sion in the South, any more than our right to condemn political dis honesty in the North. We shall exercise both of these rights, . We shall not support Blaine, nor j shall we support auy man who 'justifies the Copiah murder, it. indeed, sucn a man can be loiunt for whom anyone would ask the suffrages of the lieople. We re- spect the convict ion of others, but for ourselves we say that it is just as impossible for us to support Blaine as it is to lie or steal. We are assembled here to-dav to con - fer together, and to consider what practical actiou we shall rake- We have no purpose in view, ami, as reasonable men, we desire to act together; but we shall not, I think, make any attempt to de mand pledges or to bind conscien ces; whatever is done here every man is fre to follow his own conrse. No pledges' will be asked and certainly none will lie given. For myself I do uot hesitate to say that the defeat of Blaine should lie compassed Ivy-all honorable means. It seems' to me that the cause of good government of pure politics of the American character, requires it to be done. There is but one way to do it, aud that way must Ik obvious to us all. ' We de siie, first of all, a President that is incorruptible, and if, beside that, he is able, and independent, so much the better. We have not far to go to ti nit the man who is all this.

But we can only go so far with a p irty. When a party oversteps the IhmiimIs of decency it is our dutv to leave it. When a party fails to fulfill its mission it will do anything. We want an honorable and able man for President, and I lielieve that Governor Cleveland is such a man. " Thos. Bacon, of New naven, said that the independent movement had grown to an enormous strength. It had twice defeated Blaine's presidential aspiration within the party We are tohrthat Blaine was not nominated by any wirepulling- r machine, aud we fear that is true, and if the Republican party has reached the Kint when if takes a man of such damaged reputation as Blaine it is time for somebody to bolt.

Nine years ago, at the Convention held-in Raleigh, there were only 10,000 Sunday school members reported. This ' year the Corresponding Secretary, Prof, .I.E. Rav, reported f.0,000. Last night Rev.

She had been talking faster aud faster, ami with more and more feeling (after the manner of fat wo men, who are always emotional), until she broke down in hysterical sobs. ' 1 enquired 'about her habits table and otherwise. She replied: "Oh ! I starve myself; don't eat euongh to keep a canary bird alive, and yet I grow fatter all the time. I don't believe anythiug can be done for me. We all have oiir af flictions, and I snpMse we ought to bear them with fortitude. 'I wonld'nt mind for my self, but it is just breaking his heart. If it wasn't for him, I could be reconciled." I then explained to her our nerv ous system, and the be-iring cer tain conditions of one class of nerve has upon the disposition of adipose tissue. I soon saw she was not listening, but mourning her sorrow. Then 1 asked her was she willing to follow the prescription I might give Iter. ' "Willingly! willingly!'" she cried. '1 would be willing to g- through fire, or to have my flesh cut off with red hot knives. There is nothing 1 would not be willing loen dure if I could only get rid of t his horrible cimdition." I prepared a prescription" for her, and arranged that she should call upon me once a week, that I might supervise her progress and have frequent opportunities of encour aging her. Tiie prescript ion which I read to her was this: . 1. For breakfast eat a piece of lieef or mutton as large as your hand, with a slice of white bread twice as large. For dinner the same amount of meat, or if prefer red fish or poultry, with the same amount of farinaceous or vegetable fowl in t he form of bread or pota toes. For supper nothing. 2.

You must walk or work until you perspire freely every day of the week. Of course you are iu delicate health with little endur ance, but as you have told me yon are willing to do anything, you are to work hard at something six or seven hours every day.
