THE CLEMENT -lYYtCI6YENY,
Opinions of Capable Men Who Huvc In

"a i'Hl's W StHti'ftlcIl recently NlSiJ-
cd Westminster, in Anderson county,
$. G., to witness the oprg'tion Of tho
Clement attachment, whose opinions
ere given by al. ". c." in tl:c Con-
S;Huii0n:
Ii was very soon evident that no
one OF The visitors had been disappoint-
cd but thatall were more than pleased.
The outcome Of the attachment was
discussed and the various objections
offered and answered. The main
trouble tnat has been seen in it up to
This time viz: the procuring and stor-
ing OF seed cotton, was answered by
the experience OF tnc Striblings. a
house that had cost them $40, placed
next to The mill, had held 10000
pounds of seed cotton. \ house that
cost $50 would more than hold enough
TO run his mill 4 year, as he could Get
seed cotton from the fields for two
months. The storage WAS thus easily
provided for. AS to the purchase OF
seed cotton. Mr.. Stribling stated that
he could get any amount that he need
cd. lie gives the TURNER'S the cash
value Of their seed cotton-ti,ut is
what ii would bring if ginncd and sold
as lint. and charges no gin fec. which
is onc-twcnticth. A iarmcr, therefore,
who sells to Strbling gets his cash The
day his cotton is picked and gels one
twentieth more than he could get If lie
waited for the ginning. lie has no
expense of hauling to market, no COM
missions to pay, etc. Mr.. Slribiing
I says he could get ten times what Ec
wanted. n glance at The seed as thcv
came from the attachment gin showed
that every particle Of lint had been
taken of. 1t is estimated that Il Gle
mcn' gin will get . per cent. more cot
ton from given quantity of ed than
an ordilar! Gin. There Is no danger
OF fire in storing seed cotton. as Il fire
will flash over it and scorch the top
surface, leaving Tie mass uninjurcd.
The question Of selling tie YARN was
discussed. Mr.. Striblin" stated thui
he could sell more than he could make.
His yarns command Il premium in
market and his customers all asked for
more than he could supply. They
stated that they coul, sell amy amount.
Mr.. ii. |. KimbaIl expressed himself
AZ being ns:onishcd at The quality of
the yarn. He did not think il possible
that such thread could be made by the
principle OF the Clement attachment.
as further proof of the excellence of
, the yarn. the following was furnished
from Mr.. II. E. Whitfield, Of MISSISSIPPI
pi. IlrSavs:
"As proof of the superiority Of thc
yarns. | would state that thc cculcn-
NAL exhibition awarded only three
premiums To citizens OF the State Of
Mis>isSirpi-onc Of which was Il medal
OF hnt"r and diploma Of merit to the
" h;lirid manufacturing company CT

During The evening and night Of the

MIR. II. |. Kimball says: ''I am fully
satisfied from examination that the
Clement attachment will do all that is
claimed for it, 1t is Just what expect
ed it would be. think it is destined
to work great good for the South. !
do not reason about it exactly as 9TH
ers do. The fact That il does work on
the plantations that gives the farmer n
product worth seventeen cents where
the farm work now done gives him a
product worth only eight or nine cents
is of course Il good thing in Il local
sense; but the main hing is tlat ii
puts proiit oftwo cents Il pound on
the working cfcotton that can be had
by no other process. 1t thus adds two
cents for every pound of cotton spun
to the wealth Of the world. 1t is Just
tho same as if this extra two cents
