INVENTOR OF THE COTTON GIN.
Cotton Gin DM More Fbr Progress of
Southern /Rates Than Anything Else.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 7—Tomor
row will be the one hundretb anniver
sary of the death of Eli Whitney, the
inventor of the cotton gin. Macaulay,
the historian, says that Witney’s in
vention did more for the progress of
the United States than Peter, the Great,
did to make Russia dominant.
In view of the wonderful expansion
of the cotton business resulting from its
general introduction, now more than a
century ago, It may be said that the cot
ton gin has done more for the Southern
States than either the printing press or
. Vet the inveentor of this great agency
in the world’s progress was deprived
by a thief of his rights to his own in
vention, and was obliged, after an una-
W other pursuits to make a livelihood.
livelihood by masking nails by; hand. At
this trade he earned enough money to
enter Yale, from which he was gradu
ated in 1792.
Going to Georgia to secure a job ns tu
tor, which was filled before his arrival,
Whitney was naked to reside for a time
on the plantation of the widow of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene at Mulberry Grove,
on the Savannah River.
Here he met a number of planters,
who learned of bis mechanical gifts
from Mis. Greene, and asked him if he
could' devise some machine for cleaning
cotton. The removal of the seeds irom
cotton, which was done by hand, was
such a slow process that cotton raising
could not be carrieed on at a profit.
A pound of green cotton was all that a
negro woman could clean in a day.
Whitney knew nothing about raising,
but be threw himself with ardor into
the study of the problem, and bedsn
a madhtoe, on , building oflhe
t that had faced the South wjls solved.
> The hew machine', a simple arrange
- nemt of cylinders, saws ana brushes,
cleaned cotton at incredible speed. In
. deed, one man could clean with it in a
, day more cotton than he could clean by
; hand in a whole winter.
The news of Whitney’s invention
, spread through the surrounding country
Vith rapidity, and it reached the ears
,of persons not above committing a
> crime to possess themselves or tne rrulte
, of the young inventor’s genius. The ma

Unde Sam’s Conscience Fund.
At the IJ. S. treasury department in
Washington fherq is a conscience fund
and it is growing rapidly. Conscience
stung individuals from all sections of
the country, and even in foreign lands,
frequently send in sums of money to
make good frauds that they have per
petrated on Uncle gam. Since the first
contribution of five dollars more than
100 years ago, the fund has grown to
nearly SOOO,OOO. Those who contribute
to this fund hardly ever give their
authentic names, and few go to the
trouble to explain how they came to

that it woh the final instalment on an
SBO,OOO payment, which was flour times
the amount the sender had stolen. The
moat frequent contributors to this
fund are little children who send in a
few cento to make good canceled postage
stamps which the have used illegally.
These small remittances, it is said, are
often accompanied by the moat pathetic
notes showing the mental tribulations
suffered by the writers.

GIVEN AWAY—THE DUKE
AND EASTMAN MILLIONS
Literary Digest.
"If a man has wealth, he has to make f
a choice, because there is the money
heaping up. He can keep it together *
in a bunch and leave it to others to ad
minister after he is dead, or he can get
it into action, and have fun while he is
still alive. I prefer getting it into ac-, f
tion, and adapting it to human needs.” *
This is George Eastman’s brief expiana- 1
tion of his great gift to education; and •
James B. Duke, who gave away enough '
in the same day to make the total gifts 1
$52,500,000, announced that he had "on- 1
deavored to make provision in some mea- 1
sure for the needs of mankind along phy-s <
ical, mental and spiritual lines.” The I
announcement in one day’s news of the *
two huge donations resembles "some in-1 1
cidout iu the Arabian Nights,” as on ap-11
preciative editor observes. Including |he [ <
recent gifts, the total contribution of,<
these two of the nation’s richest busi- <
ness men amounts to more than SIOO,- P
000,000. George Eastman, head of the <
company thnt manufactures kodaks, and 1
James B. Duke, tobacco manufacturer i
and developer of southern water power, i
thus take their places among the multi-)
millionaires whose benefactions, headed i
by John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Car
negie, total almost $2,000,000,000 in the j
last ten years. "Mr. Duke and Mr. ,
Eastman have proved their skill as aceu- ;
initiators,” as the Providence Journal ,
phrases a typical newspaper comment; ,
"they are now distributing their wealth ■
—giving it back to the pbblic' from which j
it came.” It is remarked, also, that both ,
of the men became successful largely •
through the use of monopoly as a busi- ,
ness weapon: and that the bulk of their ,
fortunes goes to colleges, though neither j
had a college education.
Mr. Duke, in fact, “rose from a log ;
cabin to the throne of tobacco king,”
as the New York Times epitomizes his
career. He really lived in a log cabin, '
and he really worked in his boyhood at
"worming” tobacco. His name has often
been linked with those of John D. Rock- j
efeller and Andrew Carnegie as one of
the three kings of American industry.
The new Connecticut legislature has
1C women members, the largest number

comes next in the list, with 14 women

San Francisco possesses the only mni
eipal tennis stadium in America.

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Jnn. 7.—The tone ot the
market has been generally steady at
a slight decline from the previous dose
but it,has looked that aggressive selling
would beat prices down for some dia
tance before encountering any broad
nnd adequate resistance. >
The line of cleavage in sentiment
see me about, the same with the actual
trade for the most .port friendly to the
market and favorable scale down pur
chases for a pull while speculative in
terests can nee little except the pros
pective surplus indicated by recently
published figures covering nil growths
and are unable to persuade themselves
that such a conditon if vertified by later
facts will not mean an avalanche of
selling which will be impossible to re
sist successfully. The net eeult is that
the market, depends almost exclusively
on trade demand for support on the oc
casions when speculative shorts for
some reason turn to cbver. Whenever
the covering begins to show signs of
coming to an end prices display a soft
ening tendency until they run down to
n point where trade demand starts
again.
Based on the predictions of experts as
to the future of trade it seems very
probably that that point will gradually
advance. and thnt consumers will be
enabled to pay higher prices for raw
material which to do them justice they
are entirely willing to do f they can sell
the goods. Os pressure either existing or
impending from the actual stuff there is
no sign. Here and there n sharp lot
may be sold at a concession but those
who try to buy in any quantity find
the basis very firm and in many sections
are already meeting difficulty in locat
ing the cotton, ns interior stocks have
been closely absorbed according to best
ndviees. »•» .
With the peak of the hedge selling
well in the rear an oversold condition
will readily develop nnd it looks that
; the world would readily take the avail
able supply nnd ask for more f it could
be secured between 20 and 23 cents.
