The south's Best Card.


Some time ago the Boston Commercial
Bulletin. the great manufacturers organ of
New England. published brief mention
Of machine invented by a Tepnesseean
Preferred to in a previous issue of the Ban
ner, for manufacturing cotton. by the use
of hich ingenious continuance all the
heavy preparatory processes of manu- factu-
res are dispensed with. Some Of the pro-
ducts ofthis machine were shown at the re-
cent exposition of textile fabrics at Cincin-
natl, in the shape of yarn. Abiding to
this machine and its performances, the Gin
cinnati correspondent Of the Commercial
Bulletin, in it's issue of the 9TH, says:
This machine takes the cotton from the
boil, and at one operation it is ginned, car
ried to the cards, ETC., ETC., and finally coil
ed into cans. L. T. Clements of Smyrna,
Tennessee, is the inventor of this prodigy,
only one of which has yet been made-that
being in successful operation. He claims
that it's use will enable the manufacturer to
dispense with taUo-tbirdS 1the usuaL number
of operatives and will reduce the cost ot'noak-
ing goods at least forty per cent.
In closing, would repeat my congratu-
lations to Cincinnati upon the triumphant
success Of the exposition. 1t vindicated the
judgment of the Bulletin, so often express
sed, that the West anu South wers the pro-
| per seats of ordinary cotton and wooden
manufacture, and by showing the people
of those sections what they could do, will
inevitably stimulate them to new enterpri-
ses in the same attractive aud remunerative
field"
From the above extract our readers will
observe what importance is attached to the
recent invention of our fellow citizen, Mr.
Clements, of Smyrna, in this State, having
for its object the manufacture of cotton fab
RIGS directly from seed cotton as it comes from
tile field. The reader will also notice what
the CORE spondent tells the New England
ers in regard to the West and South be-
coming the great seat of the wooden and cot
ton manufacturers of the country, This
fact is rapidly becoming patent to the whole
world
Our cotemporary is perhaps not aware of
the fact that the first and only machine yet
completed of the kind alluded to, is in ope-
ration at the Cotton Factory at this
place, and that it contributed to the perfec-
ton of the cotton sheetiDg to which was
awarded $50 premium at the late Gin
cinnati exposition. Several Improvements

not quite perfect. AS we have heretofore
announced in the CITIZEN it is the inten-
ton of the Pulaski Manufacturing Compa-
ny not only to operate but manufacture
| these machines for themselves and others,
aud the work of preparation for this new
branch of their already large and paying en-
terprise, will be commenced as soon as the
! capital stock shall have been sufficiently in
creased to enable them to enlarge their
building and Increase the machinery.
The Lebanon Herald makes the following
remarks upon the assumption that the re-
cent election was a verdict in favor of De-
mocracy
We are surprised to see Democratic pa
pers in the North and some even in Tonnes
see, claiming the result of the Tennessee
election as Democratic victory. Nothing
is farther from the fact. There is not a
man of judgment in the State but what
knows that if the Democratic PARTY had
met and nominated candidate, and made
the fight under the Democratic banner, in
stead of rs 900 majority for universal suf-
frage. there would have been majority OF
at least $4,000 the other way. Wilson
county cast majority of near 2. 400 for

the Democratic party. and never viii. in all
probability.
