The Cotton Plcklne Machine.
It will be of interest to our farmer
friends to learn that x successful
cotton picking machine really has
been invented. At the Memphis
Cotton Exchange a day or two ago
a bale of cotton was exhibited that
was picxeu ny maciunery. it was
the first picked by other than hu
man hands ever shipped to that or
any other city in the world, and if
the machine does what its inventor
claims for it he has revolutionized
the cotton industry and at the same
time settled,' to a large extent, the
negro question. It has been held as
a valid objection to any scheme ef
colonizing the negro out of the
South that he was ' essential to the
cotton planter in gathering his
crop. The inventor ot the cotton
picker claims that his machine will
do the work of Ofty men.

All who are interested in the study
of the Bible will find that the privi
lege of listening to the readings of
Rev. W. J. Erdman, who comes to
our city next week under the aus
pices of.the Y. M. C. A., is an excep
tional one. The national reputation
of Rev. Mr. Erdman causes his time
to be constantly in demand, and ef
forts were begun nearly six months
ago to secure this visit.
The earnest words of commenda

The Election- , l
Everything has passed olf harmo
niously here to-day. It has been a
bright, pleasant, sunshiny day and
as a-consequence the . registered
strength of the two parties has been
steadily polled. The Democrats reg
istered nearly up to their entire
strength but- the Republicans fell
greatly behind. -Indifference- and
disaffection combined have wrought
this.r Our piper closes an hour, or
more before the polls close and it is
therefore impossible to , forecast the
result. All that is known at this
time is that the result will be close,
with the chances In favor of the
Democrats. We greatly fear, how
ever, that we will lose, despite the
gallant fight which has been: made
to carry the county.. The Issue has
been mainly between the twa par
ties, the side show in the shape of
the Independent Republican ticket
counting as a very small factor in
the fight. j
