AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
How Shall Stained Cotton be Bleaohed

To the Editor Of The Neps and
Courier / ask the use of your
columns for the purpose of calling
attention to an important invention
which is sadly needed by the farmers
of the South, and one which, in MY
opinion, will be soon perfected, If
the inventive genius of the country
can be- directed to it. I allude.l to
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-07-11

SOIllo J)ltu whereby tAuScN ou>'
and st .ined" cotton may be bleached
upon the plan tation before haling,
so that the enormous profits ROW
being made by manufacturers, who
buy at 4 reduced rate and bleach
after spinning, at nominal cost, nnsy
be retained in the pockets Of our
farmers. The principal staining to
which cotton is subjected is the re-
suit of frost. My theory of it is as
follows When frost is formed
upon bolls which have not opened
! the sap vessels are ruptured by the
freezing or capitalization Of the
fluid, and upon the thawing we have
extravasation Of sap, corresponding
with extravasation Of blood IN the
animal kingdom, stain or discolor-
ing being this result in either case.
Cotton SO acted upon is in the early
part Of tho fall as good, both in
length and strength Of fibre, rs That
which has preceded it in the open
ing farocess, hut does not command
the same prices.
If argument were needed TO es-
tablish the fact that these cottons
are easily whitened, it would only
be necessary for me to assert the
fact, which all observant, thinking
farmers know, that these stains are
removed entirely by allowing tho
cotton to remain in the bolls to be
acted upon by the rain, the winds
and the sunshine, which render it in
short time as white as SNOW. But
it is not good economy so to act, as
the waste FROM storms, &c, would
more than counteroalance the gain
from bleaching. Nor can you rely
upon hands who gather it to dis
tinguish between the white and the
stained, and hence we not unfre~
quently have field in which twenty
or more bales Of white cotton have
opened, lowered in grade by the
gathering of four or five bales which
have been stained. The result of
this is the falling off in price Of the
whole, Or twenty-five bales of stain
ed cotton sold when there should
have Eeen twonty of white and five
of stained.
l havo known crops in which the
proportions of white and stained
were equal, and estimating the crop
of the South at 100000, this
would give 2,5O0,000 bales in which
there wcu.d be a fall ng off in
price say two (2) cents per
pound, which makes the not incon-
siderable sum Of S22, 100000. From
this deduct one~half for inaccuracies
and cost of bleaching, and we can
safely estimate the amount to be
saved at S9,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
But how are we to attain lis
end ? What aro to be the appliances
wherewith to accomplish this most
desirable result 1t is for the pui~
pose of directing attention to it's So
luton that this article haa been
pennod. In my opinion it may be
done by an arrangement by means
of which either gas or some other
dry element may be made to per-
meate the cotton in the lint room
whist it is loose and light from the
ginning process, such as the intro
duction of chlorine gus, fumes of
sulphur, or other cheap chemicals,
by means Of pipes or otherwise. But
as remarked before, doubling my
ability to solve the problem, and yet
impressed with the vast Importance
of such discovery to the farming
interests, I have felt it obligatory
upon mo to call attention to the
matter. II. w. WOODWARD.

In THESE TROUBLOUs TIMES, when
the country is in the midst Of re-
vo)ution, when all the elements of
honesty and integrity are required
to present determined front
against the vicious and depraved, it
is extremely unwise to raise any
side issues or to endeavor to array
any one class against another. In
South Carolina especially, in the
face of m overwhelming Republi =
can majority, the greatest harmony
and the warmest cordiality arc essen
tial to success. Not only the least
breach, but the slightest wavering
i'll any point along the whole line
canrot but he attended with dis
aster. All good citizens Of South
Carolina are united by Il common
bond, n common tie of sympathy.
There is no antagonism of interest.
SO closely are all the trades md
occupations and professions inter-
woven into each other that the
welfare of one is wrapped up in the
success of the others. The fam iliar
fable of the belly and it's members,
the recital of which once sufficed to
heal schism in Rome, is applicable
to the present time. In this ooun-
try no ono is oppressed. That
everybody is having a hard time is
indisputablo, but tho lot is COM
non ono. and tho causes date far
back.

Beware OF America.

The British public is becoming
alarmed at the prospect Of Ameri-
can maptfactures putting English
made goods oht 81 the market.
The London Globe treating tho
matter, takes OCCASION to say:
The natural and mechanical
powers Of production in the United
States of America, combined with
the keenness ahd energy'in bust
ness matters n Our transatlantic
coasins, threaten to expose our
producers to severe it not injuri-
oos competition. 1fis, OF course,
impossible. With our free trade
policy and give aud take principle
in ell that relates to commerce, to
tbfBk Of reyerting to protection.
So long ms the United States sent
us only the. surplus Of their cereal
produce there was no ground for
alarm. On the contrary, We bad
reason to be graetfnl to s1nrce
from which we could always draw
a certain and sufficient supply 10
the FIRST necessary Of life to meet
u want that was every year in
creaslng. In process of time we
also received with satisfaction con-
signnnents of other descriptions of
food. The price OF butchers meat
in the metropolis, exrobftatt as il
is, has no doubt been kept down
by American exports, and we have
largely drawn upon the fertile
farms of the new world for pork,
cheese and other items Of 'agiichl-
turai orodn.e. We are also In
debted to tfe United States for
some Of tke best brands OF preser-

ty of ~ apkee notions" including
clocks. watches, the famous sew
ing and washing machines, tchhrns,
lemon squeezers, etc, TO say moth
ing Of cocktails, bulls milk and
gin-slings. 1T seems. however, that
America nov proposes to cotnpete
with ns in other branches Of do
mestfc industry. Among her recent
exports nre boots and shoes, per-
fnmerv. jewelry and piece goods.
We have no right TO complain Of
these invasions; bat IL certainly
beh6oyes us to nndeayor to meet
them by producing. II possible,
better manufactured articles at
equally moderate prices. Tho
question OF American Competition
is s4rions ope fJr our operatives,
and ought to be taken into ac-
count before they strengthen tho
hands OF the foreigner by fenew-
lug the disastrous struggles be-
tween labor and capital which have
done SO much Of late years to par
raIyze our native industry.

tee when framing the bill In 1875, and
| am now confirmed in this opinion. I have,
therefore recommended that the size N the
| channel be so reduced that the 30 feet
depth through it shall not be reguired, TO e x
coed 100 feet In width With such width the
q feet channel would probably not be less
| than 400 feet WIDE and the % feet channel
| would probably be 500 feet wide. AS we can
easily increase the flow into the pass, and are
not now using one-tenth part OF the Whole
discharge Of the river, it remains entirely tot
the government to say whether stipulated
sizes shall be adhered to or not, This, pre-
sumo, it will determine only after ADVICE %
its own competent experts. The bill was
framed with view Of securing tho govern
ment from any risk, either from the destruc
tion Of The works during theirprogress Or from
any failure of the jetty system. Being
secured Oh this 1t was intended that we
should receive from time to time, as specified
depths were secured by permanent works, a
reasonable repayment on account Of our out
lays. 1t was. however, impossible to deter
mine beforehand how much of the whole
works would be required to secure depths on
which payments depended, and. while their
total cost will exceed the original estimates.
a portion Of the whole that 1t has been neces-
sary to complete has greatly exceeded our
expectations, We therefore ask such read
iu4tment Of terms Of payment as will enable
us IT, discharge debts incurred on account
Of it, and furnish sufficient amount
to insure its early completion. We only ask
this after the country is in enjoyment Of the
substantial benefits from it and official re-
ports confirm the confidence of the people in
its permanenee and after further adherence
to oppressive terms Of payment are no longer
necessary to protect the government and
must react TO the injury Of the public We
ask no alteration that will not leave in the
hands Of the government an ample por-
ton of our compensation TO insure the
entire completion Of the whole work,
The total price to be paid us is 49,,
100000 We have completed fully fonrtifths
Of it, and have received only : 100000 on u
This, with the fact that we have almost
trebled the original depth Of The channel, and
vessels drawing ~ feet can and do pass
through it without delay Of any kind, should
be sufficient to prove needless stringency IN
the terms Of payment and the absurdity of
any adverse reports relating TO the enterprise
