TLbe Morning Star . william h. Bernard. WILMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, May 21, IMPROVED COTTON GIN. We have Jong expected to see the method of preparing cotton for market revolutionized, i The gin of the day and the screw and press in use for packing cptton, as well as the sloven manner in which the bales of raw cotton are made ready for the cotton cutter, have to go. Within a fewjyears we expect to see the machinery in use during the past decade rele gated to the antiquated class. We rather think the era is now usher ed in for improved machinery to come to the front, and we are gratified to note that a' Nortlji Car- i olina corporation has come jtothe .front to introduce . the i new era in this State. ' At Raleigh a few days ago the Secretary of State charter ed the Fuller Gin Company, of Charlotte,"'" with an j authorized capital of $100,000. The corpora tion has been chartered " fo the purpose of handling an improved cotton gin under the patent of Mr. James T. Fuller, of Texas, the in ventor of the combination gin from which the corporation de rives the significant part of its name. Mr. Fuller and Messrs. J. J. Farnan and Charles F. Wads worth, of Charlotte, arid large cot ton handling and machine inter- - ests of Charlotte constitute the new company. . Cotton planters in cotton will be interested in this from the Charlotte Chronicle, giv ing an account of . the combing gin and other; machinery for prepar ing cotton for market j' r": "Engineers and other compe tent authorities who have exam ined the new invention are of the ' opinion that it. will supersede othfer methods, of ginning cotton. It differs from the saw gin in that it operates a series of circular combs, with needle points, and gins any length of staple perfect ly. The same results are obtained whether the gin is operated on sea island or upland cotton. : ! " The combs pull instead of cut ting the staple from! tlfe seed, thus cleaning the seed more; thor oughly than is done by the saw gin, thus adding to the produc tion. ! In addition, the) newf ma chine is operated more rapidly than the saw gin, although only the same amount of labor lis re quired. :. ' : ' r l ' . ! V During- the past season pne -of the new gins was operated by Mr. J. H. Griffiths, south of th& city, and the work proved satisfactory in every respect. Aj prominent cotton dealer who has jseen the gin at work expresses "the opinion that its general introduction will effect a large saving f pr thej mills, owing to the fact that there are no broken fibres. in the cotton it gins. The gin at Mr. Griffiths' was oper ated i. at ?the rate of 15 bales per day' which is a considerable in crease in production over the saw gin. ;'-j.;;.i:fi;-i; "The organizers of j the compa ny have not decided upon a plan for the manufacture pf the gins, although several concerns are ne gotiating for the privilege of mak ing the machines on a royalty. If the company decides to manufac ture the machines on its own ac count, the plant may be . located in Charlotte. A large machine shop: would be necessary and sev eral i hundred skilled , laborers . would be employed. j J "In connection with the new gin, the company owiis a number of other valuable' patents, We of them being a patent ok a machine for making, at the ginj, a standard compressed bale of cotton (ready I for shipment. It willj differ from the round bale only iri that it will be of the size of thej compressed bale of commerce except of great er density and more Symmetrical in shape. j j 1 "Mr. Fuller, the inventor of the new gin, also invented the 'round bale cotton press, which he sold . for ove$80,000. This patent is now heldby the Planters': Com press Company, of Nek York, and is largely used in Texas. Mr. Ful ler is a native of Tekas, but his business has kept him in New York for the past few years. He has made several trips to Char lotte recently and is in the city, at j.ne jmanuiacturers' Ulub, at the present time.' - THE MAGAZINES. Leslie's Magazine fr June is on our round table.

THE LESSON UNCLE SAM TEACHES US. : If high prices tinder protection make Uncle Sam want to stand from under in his Panama canal purchases, where are his feelings for the masses who have to grin and endure the burden of the high tariff! Everybody who wears or consume anything is squeezed in the same proportion that the gov ernment would be in purchasing material and supplies for the ca nal in the unreasonably protect ed American market.c . CURRENT COMMENT. j An inexperienced writer says that all a woman .wants is to be loved. What, then, does all this we hea about ice cream soda, ; new! hats," pretty shoes, costly jewelry,? etc.,. mean? That young gusher doesn't know half his lesson yet. Raleigh Post. " There is always an element of doubt about the success of one kind of Georgia ', peaches but there is an other kind that always shows up full, rich and ripe. We have reference, of course, to the Jsweet girl graduates." And they will be with us a few short weeks hence. Savannah News. : i ."Theoretically, - municipal owner ship and control fill all 'the requisites of the American "idea of popular gov ernment, but In practice they have failed most woefully. It is a frightful reflection on the' American peorle that their politics, and? particularly their city governments, are so corrupt, but the fact remains. -, The alleged best citizens' could have it otherwise it they would, but they do not, and 11 must be assumed that they are satis fied with the corruption and graft if they are not parties to them." New Orleans Picayune. I ; ' j Our counsuls and ministers seem to be very quick to espouse the cause of corporations of this country who claim to have concessions from Latin American republics. The express 5m panies claimed to have certain rights in Cuba, granted them by General Brooke when he was governor gen eral. ' The Cuban authorities abrogat ed that right, whereupon the compan ies raised a mighty howl and the con sul r at Havana - communicated with the. State Department endorsing 'the contention of the expressmen.. It be gan" to look as if the Cubans would have to submit to a concessit n to an American company which was detri mental to Cuban interests, because of certain provisions of the Piatt amend ment. Now it turns out that the ex press companies can produce no pa pers showing that any concession aaa been granted them, yet o'" consul offi cially sacked them. The State De partment ought to go very slow before it, hereafter, undertakes to sustain American' "rights" in these countries. TWINKLINGS.
