PLANTATIONS CoTToN SP1NN1NG-The fact that an
intelligent and enterprisng commission merchant of
Mobile Mr.. G. G. Henry, has patented invention
for cotton spinning the plantation has recently
been extensively announced. Mr.. Henry expects to
have one of his machines in operation in few weeks
in Alabama, and the process to convert the cot
ton from the basket as picked on the plantation in
10 spun yarn," there can be little doubt that if the
experiment should prove successful, revolution of
the utmost importance 10 the whole cotton growing
region will al once be effected The benefits to be
realized are thus set forth by the inventor
The saving from waste by this process will be
almost ten per cent: and yarns make from the fibre
(unbroken and uninj ured by the operations of The
machinery of the present process used to open and
dsentangle O will be about fifty per cent stronger
and will command the markets Ct the world, distanc-
ing all competition, at advanced prices"
The Savannah Georgian states that the estimated
cost of the machinery adequate 10 spin from to
two hundred bales of cotton is Sc 900, and that the
ordinary hands (women and children) of the planta.
ton can operate it, under the direction of super
intendent who could attend to half dozen planta-
tons at once. Of planter company of
planters will invest their money in the purchase Of
machinery expensive as this without first satisfy
