breakiasted at the hotel, but did not

of the town. AT the expiration Of the
two weeks, he again walked up to the
bar, and said, 's'pose we settle that &C.

The Chester Reporter furnishes the
following: During the argument .Sf
one of the learned counsel of this bar on
last Friday afternoon, the presiding
judge discovered that Reuben Stroud, .
colored member of the jury, was taking
little of "nature's sweet restorer, baImy
sleep" He ordered bailiff to awaken
him, and proceeded to impose upon him
fine of one dollar. His Honor stated
to him that the fine was made small
because his nap was taken during tho,
argument, saying that he would have
fined him at least twenty-five dollaga if
he had gone to sleep while tho testimony
was being taken.

How to Buy n Horse.

BE sure that the horse you purchase

Another caution in this: Never pur.

move, and under the same conditions to
which lie will be exposed in the service
you will expect Of him. Ii for a draft,
see him draw, back, and turn around in
both directions; ii for the road, see how
he handles himself, not merely on level
ground, but going up sharp doclivities !;
and, aloYe all, in descending them. In
this way you will ascertain the ruults or

The Invention of the Cotton Gin.

As it is pretty we'll known, Eli Whit
ncy in the year invented the cotton saw
gin, ard thus laid the foundation for
the ediiicc of this country's greatness as
Il cotton producing area. Whitney was
a native OF Massachusetts, and moved to
Georgia. With scarcely any appliances
usually considered requisite, he set
about his work, which he brought to
successful issue, though various and vast
Improvements have boen since made
upon Whitncy's mechanism. Whit
ney died in 1925, and is buried in the
cemetery, New Haven, Conn.
While in Georgia, Whitney boarded
with Il lady named Green, who owned
large plantation near the city of Sa-
vnnnah. On enc occasion number of
planters were invited to dine at Mrs
Green IS house, and in the course of the
day discussion arose upon cotton and
lis management. One gentleman of large
experience, observed that if some means
were devised whereby the seed coull be
separated from the lint, cotton planting
would become a great business. Mrs.
Green, aware probably of the proclvities
or her lodger, invited him to uke part
in the conversation. Gu the requirement
being mentioned to him, he stated that
he could invent machine to do the
work. How he kept his word is Well
known, for soon afterwards apl cared the
saw cotton giu. In spite, however, of
the great boon, which he conferred upon
the country, Whitney died poor man j,
like very many Of the worlds greatest
bcneIactors.
