at easy, pleasant work; the latter, in

and, lastly, still smaller number
have maturely considered the inpor
tant fact that, to the extent to which
cotton produced in the South is
manufactured in the South from its
first start to the last, remains in some
form within the South for the ben
etlt of its people. All the above
named advantages inure both to the
'old process" and Clement Attach
ment cotton mills when standing
side by side near the cotton field.
To convert an "old'' into a ssnew
process" cotton mill, little else is
necessary than to get Cleanser Of
seed cotton, capacity from 5000 to
10000 pounds of seed cotton per
day and cost from SIS to 500, and
to substitute an Attachment, costing
about SI75, for the Lickerin and
Feed Rollers on each Card This
is easily and quickly done, and no
ether piece of machinery is changed.
Now let us see what are the ad-
vantages, savings, etc, of the Glen
ent Attachment The seed cotton
is first passed through the Cleanser,
which removes all dirt, dust, and
most of the notes, trash, etc; it is
then carried by revolving apron
directly into the breast of the At
tachment at the rate of from three
| quarters to two pounds of seed cot
ton per minute, where the lint is all
removed from the seed, the filaments
not being permitted to fly or leave
the machinery are passed through
the meters of the Attachment, where
all trash, notes and other extraneous
matter not removed by the Clean
ser or saws are combed out and the
| tilaments delivered to the Card, pas
sing through which they fall either
into revolving can, if only one
Card is used, or, when three or more
are used, into the ordinary railway
trough, whence passing through the
usual machinery it is converted into
yarns of any number.
CLAIMS FOR THE ATTACHMENT.
I. 1t is claimed and practically
demonstrated by every "new pro
cess" mill, that the Attachment dis.
penses with nearly one half the
buildings, motive power, machinery
and operatives hitherto necessary to
convert any given amount of seed
cotton into yarns in any specified
time.
2. That the Card is made to do
four times as much work, using seed
cotton and the same amount of mo-
tive power, as it did by the "old
process" using baled cotton after it
had passed through six or eight diff
ferent machines.
4. That it removes all lint from
the seed, estimated by oil men as 6
or s per cent of the cotton; saves
the waste in the lint room of the
gin and picker room of the factory,
also saves some waste in the other
factory rooms on account of the SUI
perior strength of the silver, rove
and thread.
4. That it produces stronger si
yer, rove and thread, the latter of
any number, more sheeny and 80
per cent stronger than yarns made
of baled cotton, thereby enabling
operatives to attend more machinery
and each machine to do more work
especially in the spindle and weave
rooms.
5. That the seed, worth So per ton
inures to the manufacturer.
7. That it cuts off all competition
by distant mills, as seed cotton only
can be used, which will not bear
long transportation.
s. That it dispenses with cotton
bales, and therefore saves all the
waste, sampling, perquisites, dry.
age, stealage, city crops, etc., anc
speculation thereon.
9. That seed cotton lying in bulk
from 5 to II months enhances il
market value from u to cents pei
pound (lint) by absorption of OF
from the seed by the filaments
which gives the staple rich creamy
color, increasing its weight and trac
tility, and causes it to work up with
less waste, whilst baled cotton
standing the same length of time de
teriorates in market value from I t.
1 &c. per h., becomes very dry, sea
soned and brittle, losing on an aver
age from IS to p lbs. per bale, ant
losing greatly from waste>in being
worked up in this dry state.
10. That the large sums annually
expended in building, repairing ant
insuring ginneries would be saved
81. That there is less danger from
