cotton to. Liverpool, besides the loss of
10000 bales of waste. Us
Now multiply these losses by nine and
you approximate to the loss of the South
ern States by not manufacturing their
cotton at home. oil = sas =. - s.
Now let the cotton States adopt the
Clement attachment and all this loss can
be saved. The producer would also have
the right to price his own cotton at home.
My opinion further is that the attach
ment will bring about a complete revolu-
ton in the manufacture of cotton in this
it will cause cotton to be manufactured
where it grows.
1t will save to the Southern States in
the way of, shipping raw cotton not thou
sands but millions of dollars 1t will bring
into our country population and capital
by thousands. 1t will give employment
to thousands, gladden. the hearts of the
poor, diversity the cultivation of our lands,
add millions to its production in the way
OF manure, and open a market at the door
of every farmer for all and everything he
can produce. 1t will remunerate the cap
italist and add wealth to his Golfers FL
nally 1t will wake up dormant enterprise
cut the bands that have for the last hun
dred years made the Southern people the
hewers of wood and drawers of water to
their English ancestry andnorthern broth
ers, and will make the Southern States
financially the rulers of the world

Cheatham is visionary and the Clement
attachment little thing. Be it so. AS
to myself, / care nothing. To induce the
people of the Southern States to manu-
facture their cotton at home has been my
hobby for forty years, and were [ in a
banquent of nations called upon for a SEN
timent, would give-s'The cotton pro-
ducing States of North America: they
must and will manufacture their own cot
ton at home" And thank my Maker
that | have lived to see,s as [ think, the
ball in motion. 3s9lsH. - s.sa.
These are my opinions, thoughts and
views. If they are in any way of benefit
to my fellowmen, or will cause the South
ern people to think, am satisfied. l
| As to the attachment being a little
thing, that is literally true; it is little
thing, but the prettiest little thing for ma
nipulating cotton into a roll that | ever
have seen. / would like to see it started
in all the cotton counties in Georgia; but
J, would advise all pioneers to go and see
one that is running. The one at West
minister think we'll arranged, where YOU
will find the two Mr.. Striblings, not only
good mechanics and machinists, with q
| fund of pllctical common sense, but mode
gentlemen, ready and willing to give any
information you may desire. There you
may learn more in two hours than could
write in two weeks.
] NY advice to all beginners is to star
but one machine at a time, but build your
house with view to enlarge it to the ca
pacity of two, four, or six, if necessary.
would never run over six in the sam
/ building. In this way, by starting onl,
i one machine, the first hands would be
come capable of instructing the second
and so on. 4o
And now, Mr. Editor, few words t
the people of Gainesville and this commu
; nication, which is already longer than
intended, will close-l
My friends, by all means start cotto
factory in your town. 1t is not necessar
, for me to tell you how to start one. Th
sight of the one at Westminster and
}, conversation with the proprietors Wi
give you all necessary information, but
have a little knowledge in putting up m'
chinery and in putting cotton into yarn
: and promise if you start one and L al
able to get to it, will assist in putting u
t the mac hinery and in initiating the han6
5 until you get under full headway, and M
t charge you cent.3z gD 80
