WASHING WITHOUT LABOR.

craving saw in your office representing the Me-
tropolitan Washing Machine" that on my return
home Immediately ordered one.
We have again had it in operation today and arc
so delighted with it. that we wish your readers to
share with us our felicity and so with your pcrms
saving machine
Its construction is very simple. A rope is stretch
ed from the tops of the two elastic shafts either
side of deep tub. A FOUNDER is suspended to this
rope, the center of the tub The bottom of the
FOUNDER consists of sixteen smooth wooden pestles,
playing freely on BRASS spiral wires. The FOUNDER
can be managed with the ordinary strength of one
finger and thumb, the operator standing erect, and
the process of washing eight Shirts their equisa
lent in other garments, is completed within ten
minutes, and the subsequent rinsing of the same,
within five minutes additional. Let add to this
that the machine is adapted to the finest and most
delicate fabrics as well to coarse clothes that it
never breaks or dispaces so much as button, that
it wears the clothes less than the most careful laun
Dress that it ceanses more perfectly, and that it is
very easy to learn its operation.
The exercise is most healthful one, giving a
fine expansion to the chest allowing perfectly
erect position, avoiding the STOPPING and chest con-
tracting posture, required by the washboard, and
the lifting up effort required by the pounding bar
REL and in degree dispenses with the inhalation of
the foul and poisonous vapors which must always
fill the lungs of the person who uses the rubbing
board.
The attachment, for removing water from the
Clothes entirely dspenses with wringing, by pass
ing the clothes between elastic rollers. 1t is done
five times as fast as clothes can be wrung by hand
and removes the water thoroughly that the clothes
dry in one hour the lire. 1t is easily Operat-
cd, and does not injure the cloth.
The much to be dreaded washing day is now OBJ
solete, and blue Monday, cold dinner and scolding
wife among the things that were. In place Of day
of labor and fatigue 1t is converted into day Of
creation and amusement by the of this machine
and we would kindly advise all your readers to send
directly to Treadway & Johnson Petersburg, and
order one. j.

On Saturday last, we held our mass meeting at
Lees Mills, Washington County. Circumstances
beyond their control, prevented the attendance of
the gentlemen from other counties, who had been
invited to address the meeting.
Nevertheless we had glorious time-the best
feeling prevailed The State rights Democracy of
Washington county are all right-though, IN a
minority, we present bold and defiant 'front.' We
know our rights, and knowing dare maintain them
The meeting was addressed by several gentlemen,
with great effect and good was DONE Rely upon it
that, on the day of election, we shall be found in
this, as we'll as Tyrrell and Martin counties, right
side up. We intend to carry the State for Breckn-
ridge and Lane.
Having been disappointed in speakers, who were
older and better known we called our young men
into service and l am pleased to state, that they
most happily responded to the call, and made elo-
quent and telling speeches. Mr.. E. G. Brabble, a
young lawyer who has located in Columbia, made
an admirable address, defending our principles and
charging on our opponents. He is a young man of
fine talents, thorough education, CALM logical and
forcible speaker. He cannot be kept down. You
will hear from him yet He will be one of our first
orators.
Mr. Lewis Latham, of this town, responded to the
CALL He is a graduate of our University, and also,
of the law school at Cambridge though not yet old
enough to get license to practice law. He is young
man of decided talent His address was we'll de-.
livered his points well made, and his language chaste
and classic This was his first attempt at a public
speech-the people will not suffer it to be the last
He is one of the promising young men of the State.
He will make his mark. The speeches Of both these
gentlemen were we'll received and highly applaud
ed. z. -
Mr.. Francis A. Boyle, of this town, made an ex-
cellent speech He is well posted ardent, bold and
fearless and be poured on his opponents such srgu-
ment, logic, ridcule and sarcasm, as made them
vince under it. He was interrupted but his sar.
castle sallies crushed all before him. The plaudts
made the welkn ring '.
The reliance, the hope of the country is in the
young men, and tell you, Mr.. Editor, are proud
of our young men. We did not know that we had
such material among US.
