body was in happy mood, for they had LEFT
all care and dignity behind, and were bent or
having laughing, happy day in the society
of hills and wales ard ripping streams ane
fields and woods, and falling leaves. That's
the way to talk it.
"Good bye, Atlanta" Gays Grady, eve
won't be gone long. Boys, she is the greatest
town in the world for her size. She's go
more solid vim and never-dying boom more
brains and money and self-reliance; she's got
the Governor and the Supreme Court, and the
Federal Court and the Legislature, and two
United States Senators and half dozer
members of Congress, and two Mayors. Why
sir, there was Macon man got drunk yester
day, and Mayor Huff took him up and tried
him in the car shed and fined him ten dollars
and costs. But Huff totes fair with Macon
He sent the money down there to be put te
the charity fund to keep his people from suf
fering."
For the first time in years our party saw
the sun rise in all his glory and gazed with
rapture as he dispersed the morning mistt
and smiled upon world just waking out o1
sleep. Copyright on that Mr.. Thrower, the
engineer, invited US to deck passage on his
engine, but there wasn't room, and so he cush
ioned us up Oh the tender behind and away
we went flying through narrow cuts and over
frightful hills, reeling around the curves and
trembling across the bridges. With humble
heroism we clung to our perilous positions
for no man was willing to be the first desertel
from his post. 81 feel like Casibianca," said
DR.. Lawton. "That engineers life must be
very heroic one, said Grady. Howell sunk
low on his cushions as he said, Suppose We
should run upon cow just around one Of
these curves?' 81 expect it would knock hel
day lights out" said Grady. II wasn't think
ing so much about myself" said Howell, "but
then feller's sudden death might
"Embarrass the Constitution" said Grady
"but just think what splendid sensation il
would be for the paper"
Arriving at the pleasant village of West
minister, we found conveyances awaiting us
and proceeded overland to Mr.. Stribblings
Grady followed and whooped all the way
like an escaped lunatic. If squirrel rar
across the road ii threw him into conniptions
"Just look at his little tail. Yonder he
goes-watch him, watch him, watch him
bless his little heart Don't you wish you
could run up tree that way" He bounced
over into field after watermelon, but came
back disgusted and said it was nothing bu1
an old cistern "Boys," said he, 81 want te
see country girl spinning. I've always
wanted to see pretty little country CIR
standing up by the wheel and making TUNE.
Mr. Stribbling and his younger brother
received us gladly. They are gentlemen Of
good education, good manners and address
Ingenious and Industrious; they have been fol
eighteen months quietly running their factory
away off in the woods, three miles from
the railroad-making about ten dollars 8
day and giving pleasant employment to few
poor girls. 1t is a slow business and little
business, but is simple and comes within reach
of great many Of our substantial farmers
A common country gin will lint from FIVE te
six bales day, but it takes this one three
days to gin one. The saws are very small
and only half an inch apart, and run slowly
so as to give the carder time to do its work
The lint is taken clean from the seed, coming
off straight and smooth, every fiber in paral
lei lines and the staple unbroken. The at
tachment does not spin it, but only cards ano
puts the lint into silver ready for the spinning
jennies, which are the same as in other facto
ries. The yarn from this silver is certainly
strong, even and beautiful. 1t ought to bt
better than yarn made from crushed anc
tangled cotton taken from compressed bales
whether it is or not.
There is no gushing fortune in the business
no 100 per cent nor 30, but it seems to bf
solid, substantial investment for the farmers
of our country, and will add 25 per cent tt
the value of our cotton crop. Mr.. Kimbal
is close observer and has experience in man
ufacturing the great staple. Judge Hender
son, of the Agricultural Bureau, knows al
about gins. Old Mr.. Howell is millwrigh
and machinist of large experience. gath
cred from them favorable verdict upon thi:
new enterprise after they had thoroughly ex
amined and considered its operations.
"This machine said Mr. Kimball, "hal
no striking advantage over our cotton facto
ries as process of turning cotton into thread
but I would rather have hundred thousand
dollars invested in them than in a factory
1t would be better for me and for the planter
and the country at large" "With these ma
Chimes" said Dr. Lawton, "as Southern in
dustry, and the Christian Inder as a mora
civilizer, the South would rise up from it
ashes in very few years." "And the Con
stitution as tliAuser of useful knowledge,
said Evan Howell II am going to put uE
one on my farm"
"Your farm" said Grady, "your farm
why there aint room for it. You haven't go
two acres on your whole plantation, and hal
of that is gullies. | can carry off all youl
level ground in basket. You stuck youl
farm, as you call it, right on Joe Brown:
road, Just to get your old auction cattle rur
over at fifty dollars head. Before Brown
put up them barbed wires, your income from
dead cows would have supported my family
I'm telling you fact now, boys. One day
was in the Governors Office, when Evan came
in and says he: Governor, you killed COW
for me last night Another valuable Dur
ham, I suppose said the Governor; "but
Mr.. Howell, I've quit paying fifty dollars
head for them; I'm paying only twenty-five
now.' WE'LL Howell, took the money, and a
we came out together says he: 4 offered tt
sell the old broken horn thing yesterday fo
fifteen dollars, and I'm glad now the felle
didn't take her. Fact, every word oft.
While Howell was hastily cutting thrasl
pole near by, Grady took rapid stroll owe
the hill to fiud.a spinning girl.
