TEN $100 BILLS. REWARDED BY A TRAMP- A Woman's Surprise On Open ing A Package He Gave Her Just Before He Died. Mrs. Kiunia Carjjail, of Omaha, Neb., sheltered a sick tramp during a leuerit snovrsiorm and received as her rewatd $1(11111. Tramps do not generally have money. J. V. Myers was ao exception lo the rule. He was oue of the very few who have been known lo cling (o a certain sum and al llie same lime suffer Iron) the pangs of hunger nod cold. When he came to Omaha a few days ago be was ragged and dirty. His hair was long andgrizi'y.

When be aked for accommodalions at the home of Mrs Oargail she refused, siying thai she had no room. He argued and pleaded willi her until her strong will yielded to his palbelio appeals and she gave bin one of her best loouif. Next morning ho was very sick and a doctor was called. Ho lived but a few days, during which timo Mrs. Oargail nursed him with the patience of a moth er and watched over him as she would have done had ho been her only son. As deaih drew near the old man askid for his ragged coal, which was brought to hiui, and he drew from a secret pocket a package tied with a greasy old paper uml it diriv strini!. This he gave to his guardian angel, saying feebly: "Kien this forme until I get well and if I never gel well keep it always." The package was thrown caretaslj aside, as Mr..

According to Ike last census report, Noilh Carolina produces 5(10,000 bales ul'cotl.u. If this cotton were ginned and cleaned in the best manner known to the art, that is, on one of our complete oulGts, no man would deny lhat it would bring onc founh of a cent per pound more. This nieanstl.25 per bale, which is 1 023,0(10. Yes, hut these uew gin out fits cost more, some may say. So they do, but the giuners do tot charge the farmer more. They can gin his cot ton at the same price now charged and make money, because they do it with less labor. It is a labor saving device as wall as a means of improving tie grade. IMPROVEMENTS NOT IN THE IN IT SELF. All our improvements relate to ban ting and cleaning the cotton before atd after ginning. No change has ben made in llie gin itself a machine with saws and ribs and a brush to lake the lint cotton off the saws. A dozen differ ent factoiies make gins, and they are all more or less alike. Originally there was some difference, but the patents bavo all expired, and the desirable features which one or two had have become common property. The main question to bo con sidered about the gin is to be assured that it is well made, good material and workmanship. THE II F.ST AND BIGGEST SHOPS. Wc have the best equipped general machine shops in the Southern States south of Richmond. There may be one, possibly twe, a li i tie larger, but none bet ter supplied with the latest and best tools for Ibe kind of work we do. You have DO doubt heard of Charlotte as a great manufacturing centre. Well, without intending it as in any way a boast, but merely to show that wo have the capaci ty and skill to do good work, we make the assertion that we have the largest weekly pay roll of any mill or factory of any kind in Charlotto or Mecklenburg county, and nay the highest wages. Not only this, but our freight business in coming and outgoing amounts lo more than siit factory within the cily limits with the single exception of the oil mills, the nature of whose business is altogeth er different. EI.EYATOR ANDCT.EANER AND OLD GINS We make ike machinery lhat goes in to our complete outfits all io Charlotte. The engine (plain slide Talre or auto matic) the elevalor, the pulleys and shaft ing and hangers, and the press, of course. We can put the elevalor and improved feeders on old gins, and if not too far gone ihey will produce a far bettor sam ple than when they wero new. We can fit our elevators to any make of gins, but we send our syslrms out with the Kaglo gin. We con fit them out with Hall gins if desind. WHAT THE WONDERFUL MUKItAY FEED- MI UllKS. All CDlton gins tniK hare feeders .Hon ought lo be cleaned before it in islhegins. ll a ginm r could find a fseder, which, while feeding I lie coilon to ihe gins, also cleans it belter (ban any ngle device ever inverted, wouldn't it be a Mod thing? Well, wo have the thing. In ihe fiist place, iluro isn't any boiler feeder. In the secoud place thire isn't any bettel cleaner Iu the third place there isn't any more machinery to it than in an old type f eeder; Iu I lie fourth nlace. it costs verv little more. It is the Mutray Cleaning I'eider. II is the in yeolion of the same Murray who revolu tionised the handling of coilon by the invention of the Murray I'ueunialio Ele vator and Distributor. Tho feeder fits right in with this, and gives a perfect system, But the Murray Cleaning Feeders can be used without the clcv tor over any gin. it is driven wun i bell like anT other feeder, either from the gin shaft o( ibe line shaft.

Other things being equal, buy your machiney near home. That's good doc trine and good sense. e have been to tbe business about twenty-fire years right here in North Carolina, and we have never yet asked a man to buy from us beoause we were a "home industry," but we have saved our customers many a ll FOR PRICES AND CATALOGUES ADDRESS THE MANUFACTURERS, LIDDELL COMPANY, CHARLOTTE, N. C. ry near enough to be easily reached and have their wants promptly supplied. Did you ever wait for a repair for a thresher or a mowing machine, or a reaper, lo come Irom tho West ? If you ever did, you may have lost enough money to pay express from the factory on nearly the whole machine. ENGINES, BOILERS, SAW MILLS, PUL LEYS, SHAFTING, ETC. So much has been said in this adver tisement about gin machinery that tha reader may thiok that's all we make. Far from it. We build more steam eoginra than any factory in tbe South. The country is full of our saw mills. We sold a hundred last year. We turn out shafting by tbe mile, and pulleys and hangers. Some of the bast cotton mills in the country are equipped with our power transmission machinery. We have built more cotton presses than any facto ry in the world a broad statement but irua. COMBINATIONS CAN'T COMBINE OUTSIDE INVENTORS. The days of tho single gin with no system of unloading is numbered. Tbe man who puts up a modern up-to-date ginnery which will gin tbe celton direct from the wagon will surely get tbe busi ness. If he buys the best no competitor can come in later and take sway his bus iness. Outfits which do not include tbe Murray Cleaning Feeder cannot be con sidered among the better class, Tbey have been so considered some years agot but must now take a back seat, and like old men, they ean only glory in tbe past and boast of what they have been. Tbe world docs oot look to su;h as these for advancing its best iutercst. They die hard, of course, and get together in one big oombine to kill opposition and finally control tbe business. This might have been possible, but they couldn't kill tbe inventors of methods wbicb are better than theirs. ' WORTH ONE QUARTER OENT MORE TO A COTTON MILL." Catawba Eleclrio Power Co. (Mountain Island Mills.) Mountain Island, N. C, Nov. 21, 1899. Gentlemen: In reply to yours of the 18th iost , have to say that we are very much pleased with the operation of your Ginning System, with Murray Cleaning Feeders. I am of the opinion that no ginnery io our section compares with ouil in the item of cleaning cotton. We bad no idea that there oould be as muoh dirt in a bale of cotton as the Murray Sys tem, including tho Murray Cleaning Feeders, take out. In fact, we oonsider cotton ginned on this system worth io per pound more to a ootton mill than on any system we have seen. Yours truly, W. T. Jordan, Manager. ANOTHER BIG COTTON MILL HAH SPEAKS. Exposition Cotton Mills, Atlanta, Ga , Nov. 7, 1899. Gentlemen: We had the pleasure of seeing your Murray Ginning and Clean ing System at work during the Georgia State Fair held here recently, and ean say the cleaning attachment discharged dirt and leaf in a continuous stream, while ginning was going on, and the staple was left in good condition. We have purchased nineteen bales of cotton which passed through your gin, and find it clean stock, and in good condition for spinuing. Io our opinion, there is going to be inoro difference made between bad ly handled and clean cotton than hereto fore. Wc noted that there was little or n i dirt or sand that went to tbs gits, which would result is quite a saviog to manufacturers. We made a comparison of ibe nine teen bales purchastd from you, with other cotton we bad on hand, end found yours tooontain less sand and dirt. Yours truly, Exposition Cotton Mills, J. D. Turner, President. WHATTHE LARGEST OOTTON BUYER IN THE SOUTH BAYS. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 1899. Gentlemen: I caw your Murray Gin- ning and Elevating System io operation at our State Fair held hers this fall, aod can recommend it to those who may want to buy improved ginning out fits. Tbe attaohment for separating the leal and dirt from the ootton before it reach es the gin saws did its work well, and is a saving to the gio saws aod brushes. This system will so doubt receive tho endorsements of our ootton mills, as it is important fot them to have their eottoo oleaned well at the gin. Yoor ex hibit was a very creditable, one, in deed.
