Col. T. Z. Harrison returned from the
Centennial on Tuesday morning. He pur,
chased improved cotton machinery in Phila-
delphia, and will inaugurate new enter
prise at Andersonville in short time. His
machinery gins the cotton and makes it
into yarn at small cost, and by this process
it is estimated that the farmer can add fifty
per cent. to the value of his cotton. Col.
Harrison is thoroughly satisfied that this
process of converting seed cotton into yarn
will prove great blessing to the producer,
and that in few years the Southern people
will spin nearly ell their cotton before it is
shipped.
