Getting Used to It BY Degrees.

Somewhere about here, writes South.

of such social habits that his coming
homo intoxicated was once no unusual

"Why, you see" he would say, "I'll

Very well, old man." his helpmate

THE ORIGIN OF THE GIN.
History Once More Called In question.

To the Editor Of Tile NewS and Courier; ;
think the publication of the enclosed
papers will be interesting to your readers.
The want Of date ia Mr.. McMaster's
letter as to the time when the stranger
visited Kincaids s mill is to be regretted,
rs date would shed q light upon the
point in question.
| have not been able to find the date o t
Whitney's patent. McCulloch's "Coml.
Dict" SAYS 1893, and that the next year
the exports of cotton amounted to nearly
two million Of pounds, whereas in 1893 it
was less than one hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds. 80,
The Legislature Of this State in 1901
gave Miller & Whitney $4,000 for the
use Of his patent in this State.
used to be familiar with the story OF
the invention of the saw gin, but it has
nearly faded from my memory. Whitney
graduated at Yale College in. 1892. This
is certain from the records Of that col.
lege. He then went to Georgia to be a
teacher in the family Of Mrs. Miller, sis
ter of General Greene. In her house he
saw many planters, all of whom regret,
ted that product which Georgia could
produce 30 readily should be useless be.
cause of the difficulty Of separating the
cotton from the seed Whitney studied
the subject and the result was the saw
gin. The whole work was perfected in
Mrs. Miller's house.
What share Mr.. Miller had in the in
vention does not appear, probably he
furnished tho n Jney. The patent was
made out for Miller & Whitney, and it
was to them that the Legislature paid the
$4,000.
when the gin came into general use is
still doubtful 1t could not have been
before 1895. Doubtless may wits were
ut work to invent gin, as mt see by tho
paten: of Hogden Holmes BY 1901,
when the Act of the Leg islaturc was
passed, cotton had become the stnple Of
South Carolina and Georgia. /; is 80

this subject, that find cannot rely on

not to be had. Perhaps if you give pub.

memories Of others who may she'd some
light on this interesting feature i'll our

AUGUST BELMoNr's DUEL.
Tee Early Morning Encounter Over Forty
Years Ago.
IEIkton nd Whig.l

lElkton (Md.) Whig.i
On Wednesday evening" August %, 1911
two parties of men in carriages drove up TO
the two hotels of the town. There was, saws
the chronicle of the day, can apparent
strangeness in their actions" and the wise
acres of the town were at their wits end 10
determine the object of their visit. About u
o'clock that night conference was held be-
tween representatives of the two parties
numerous inquiries in the meantime having
been made to the distance to the Della
ware line. Late in the night, or rather
early in the morning they left the town,
driving directly east. They were followed
by some citizens of the village, whose
curiosity had induced them TO watch their
movements but were not Oyertaken, and no
one, it seems, resident in Elkton, was an
eye witness of the duel, which occurred at
an early hour on the morning OF the 10Th,
on Greys Hill, about one mile east of town.
As it aiterward proved, the principals in the
affair had taken assumed names, one of them
being addressed as Moore, the other as Gold
smith. In reality, however. they were Mr.
August Belmont, OF New York the Amer
can agent of the Rothchilds, and who has
since figured very prominently as a New
York Democratic politician, and Mr.. Will
lam Hayward, of South Carolina. They had
been tcge her residents of the American
Hotel in New York and the quarrel seems
to have originated in love affair Hay
wards brother stated at the time that Bel
mGnI'S intimacy with lady had been re-
sented by Hayward, and the former having
spoken of the latter in teams not particularly
complimentary Hayward had struck Bel
mont, whereupon the latter had challenged
him TO mortal combat. Intent upon blood
they had arranged duel to be fought upon
the classic soil of Delaware and for that pur-
pose had taken carriages at Wilmington and
driven to ElktOn, intending to meet upon
the field of honor by sunrise just over the
Delaware line. As it turned out, however,
they Cid not drive far enough East, ard the
soil of Greys Hill in Cecil County, was
Redeemed with the blood of the Hebrew
banker A gentleman named Lake acted as
second fOT Belmont and Mr.. Purdy served
Hayward in a similar capacity. Arriving
upon the ground, the principals we're placed
by their seconds, and upon the first round
Mr. Belmont was shot in the hip. One fire,
it seems, was sufficient 10 sappease, the
wounded feelings of these chivalrOus gentle
men, and Mr.. Belmont was borne bleeding
to his carriage. at the time it was sup
posed that he was MORALLY wounded. TAX
ing to their carriages, the sanguinary South
erner and the Hebrew were driven to Will
mington. Eikton not then nor since. 50 far
as we know, having been honored by the
presence of either of these gentlemen.

DEATHS.

There are at this time in the Southern
Prison at Jacksonville 5S7 prisoners. They
are coming in faster than they go out. By
death, though, there has been a release of
five prisoners since the 9Th of March, viz,
James Tumble, Miles Golfer, Berry Owens,
Tracy Owens and Grif Wilson. This is a
larger number than has been released by ex
ecutive clemencY, although there has been
a very large number of applications to His
Exeellency the Governor.
ESCAPED PRISONERS.
There have been six escapes within short
slime; one of tEem was recaptured and one
returned of his own accord; the other four
have not yet been heard from. One of them
is supposed by the officers to be secreted
somewhere within the walls of the Pen
itintiary. There IS earnest and faithful
effort made to find him, and if found it is
reasonable to suppose he will be placed for
a time in dungeon vile"
HOSPITAL.
There are but few OF the men in the hos
pital, and bat little medical attention and

it is confidently expected that on Monday
the men viii be put to-work again.
VISITORS.
The Prison has sometimes bad 100 visitors
