duee almost as marked an effect as the

through the ripened fields and picks
clean every soap of cotton lint, and
nothing except cotton, and saves the
labor of 100 hands. Where the price of
the staple may 90 to with this invention
ia general use it is impossible to fathom.
The machine is a North Carolina affair
