MR.. RENRY'S IMPROVEMENT FOR THE MANUFAC-
|, TURE OF COTTON YARNS.
We glad 10 state That this invention receivsg the
appreciation Of cottonpaners in every State in the cotton
region Offers have been made to MI Henry 10 purchase
the rights Of the States of louisiana Mississippi large
part Of Texas several counties of Georgia. of Fords and
of Alabama and that he has made distinct with
several planters for the of his privilege and has recev
ed more applications than be as yet attend to-
He is busly employed in getting his printed descp'
ton of ii, which will be forthcoming shortly In the
time he has engaged eminent machnst to make
of the modified gins he uses and who he gets
them properly under way will visit all of the cities
principal cotton mars Of the South and publicly address
the planters in relation its operations and advantages
This improvement understand is applicable with
entire convenience, any planter who makes enough to
havea Clubhouse and hence is universally applicable all
those who produce enough of cotton to them in
building Clubhouse they provide for spinning their
yarns well they arrange have their sesd-cot-
ton gnned.
We permitted to place before readers Mr. Heury
commencing remarks on his Improvement as follows:
"WhatI am required to say to the coon-plantsr him
self in relation to my Improvement and 70 whom it is
alone applicable and will be entirely confined might be
very sentenious but courtesy TO the general curiosity
manifested concerning it, and the immediate interest all
classes in the South have in it, through the expansion
commerce that must flow from il, we'll indeed,
justice those whose business transfer from abroad 10
plantations claim from and make il proper should
give general and minute description of it, but which
promise viii, upon the baud, finally establish the
planter in the possession of his natural rights and profits
and prepare those the other to yield manufacture
which they already perceive and confess they cannot
pete with in.
Before proceed with this description must premise
the and losses by damages and waste which
bale of cotton is subjected from the time it leaves the
plantation until ii reaches Manchester and is converted
into yarns the planter in effect pays ose although be
sell it at his gin house. and receive pay for its actual
weight there and that arises in this way The price paid
for it 10 this country predcaed the price prospects
of the price in ports and the prices in ports
predicated those of Liverpool and the price in Liver.
pool is predicated the price the manufacture of Man
chester will give il and the manufacturer Manchester
predicates the price be viii give for it the weight
yarn the loo pounds of cotton will produce or in other
words deducs The waste occurring during its manufacture
from the price he will pay So that every expense charge
and loss by damage wsse that from the time the
cotton leaves the plantation until is converted into yarns
in Manchester is deducted by the buyers. Bat say you
how does the buyer arrive at this? 1t is by long expe
rence and repeated calculations be arrives at the
of these items and which he deducts and il is remarkable
| how unerring they appear to be.
"For example, il you could shoot hundred pounds
cotton 10 Liverpool and lay your hands the "a pence
pound II brings there English currency, you would
get about 10 cents for what commanding here about li
cents Well for this one hundred pounds cotton in Liverpool
YOU very plainly the manufacturers would give
than ~ pence pound for IL if each pound would make
pound of yarn but as IL takes pound and three-six
teenhs OF pound of cotton make pound of yarn
be only gives for aud threesxeenths of pound wha
be would Willingly give for just pound if the pound
cotton would make pound OF yarn And thus II is you
Immediately and individually interested in process
which would alone result in greater number of pounds
of yarn from given number of pounds of cotton
And in presenting the mode my combination operates
1t will be evident you there must be great saving
waste as II will be your yarns must be better than be
made by the processes of the manufacture and also
that you have competition the manufacture can
only be conducted where the seedcoon is besides your
many other advantages 4.
