coTToN-PIcKING MACHINE.

Chas. r. Mason, Jr., a native Of
Sumter, S. c., has at last completed
cotton-picsing machine, of his
own invention. The machine was
tested at Sumter with most satisfac-
tory results, anu It seems that an
other step has been taken towards
solving the labor question. The
Neocs and Courier of the 25th in
slant, describes the machine, and
shows what it will do, as follows:
A staff Reporter for The Neacs
and Courier saw the machine tested
in a cotton field on Mr.. Mason's
place at Sumter a few days ago,
and although the cotton was very
wet from the long spell Of wet
weather and had been open ready
for picking fully six weeks, the ma
chine which was operated by one
horse and one man harvested cotton
at the rate of over 200 pounds an
hour, which would be at the rate of
1000 pounds a working day Of
ten hours. Mr.. Mason is by no
means satisfied with the present ca
pacity of the machine and changes
are now being made which it is be-
lieyed will increase its capacity to
about 1000 pounds of seed cotton
day, which is equivalent to three
bsles of lint. Il can be very easily
seen, even by one unfamiliar with
machinery, that che proposed chan
ges will increase the picking capaci-
ty of the machine. Whether it
will harvest three bales Of cotton a
day remains to be proved. Striking
fair average and putting the ca
pacity at two bales day any cot,
ton planter who is subject to the in
tolerable trial and enormous ev-
pense of harvest time will readily
appreciate the almost incalculable
value Of such machine.
1t is superhuous in an article like
this to go into an argument to prove
to the cotton planters the value OF
a machine which will render them
independent Of the uncertain and
high priced process of hand-picking.
The cost of picking the last crop
was nearly $5O,ooo,ooo,. or at the
| rate of about 81 a bale, The cost
| to the farmer of picking a bale of
| cotton with this machine will be less
than one dollar. For years the need
of some appliances for harvesting
the increasing crops has been keenly
felt. Year by year the negro labor
has become more unreliable and
higher-priced in this respect, aud
in some Of the States it is estimated
that one-third of the crops is fre-
| quently left in the fields from sheer
| inability of the farmers to secure
picking-bands at any price. This
is said to be frequently the case in
portions of Texas and Mississippi.
/ Planters are now, in several por.
tions Of this State, paying sixty
| cents hundred for having their
| cotton picked. and some planters,
in order to secure hands even at
this price, are compelled to furnish
conveyanees to transport the hands
from their homes, miles away, on
I ! af0uday morning and take them
back to their homes On Saturday
might. These are only a few Of the
| terrible trials to what the planters
are subjected in harvest time. In
deed the perfection of the invention
has been consummated at a time
when it had become necessity,
and it is curious enough that the
| history of the world shows that all
the greatest inventions had come
when the condition Of labor or SO.
ciety demanded them as necessity

Messrs. Hiscox & Co... call especial atten-

after be simply "Parker's Tonic" The word
"Ginger" is dropped for the reason that un-
principled dealers are constantly deceiying
their patrons by substituting inferior prepa-
rations under the name Of Ginger and as
ginger is an uninportant favoriug ingredient
in our Tonic, we are sure that our friends
will agree with us as TO the propriety OF the
change There "will be no change, however"

THE GEORGIA KUKLUX.

The first convictions in Kuklux
cases in Georgia were those which
are recorded in The Sunday Neees
yesterday. They announce the
opening of the political campaign
in Georgia. tits white State, and
the meaning of the verdict is that
the politicians who manage the
department of justice wanted con-
victions, for political use, and have
secured what they wanted.
Kuklux cases, as such, are cases
where it is charged that oolored
people, because they are colored
people, are beaten or otherwise in
jured by white men who have formed
a conspiracy to maltreat them.
Even whore there is any fact as the
basis Of a serious charge, such as
an assault or aggravated assault, it
does not follow that there was any
conspiracy, or that the negro would
have Jared any betterif he had been
white. Besides this, when the pas
sions ofnegro witnesses are aroused,
these witnesses will swear to any
thing-on the Governments side
There was confirmation enough OF
this in the Kuklux cases in South
Carolina. Hundreds of persons
were accused of infomaus offences
who were as innocent as babes un'
born. The appetites Of swift wit
nesses had been whetted. They
could swear to single fact, and
grew willing to swear to a hundred
falsehoods. The Court judged
them by their grain of fact'-NeW<

Many persons who seemingly
have consumption have perfectly
sound lungs, and their distress origi-
mates altogether from disordered
kidneys and liver. Now there are
thousands of remedies that will re-
leiye kidney and liver diseases, but
there is only one that can be depen-
ded upon for efeeting a permanent
cure. and that is Browns Iron Bit
ters. It's efficacy has been satisfac-
torily proven in thousands of in
stances after all other remedies
failed.

A recent writer says "What our
colleges need is not money, SO much
as industry and enthusiasts
pecially enthusiasm I; and in sup
port of his position he refers to the
great British universities. True it
is that an institution of learning
cannot reach nigh degree of sue
cess without patient industry and
ardent enthusiasm on the part Of
both teachers and pupils, but we
have observed that the world has
discovered few better promoters of
enthusiasm than a liberal endow-
ment of hard cash. Money does
make the mare go.

A METEOR AT MIDDAY.-Dr. W.
w. Anderson, of Stateburg, Sumter
County, writes as follows under
date Of October 25: 1t has been re-
ported to me by my son, boy of
fourteen years, that, on Saturday,
the 20th instant, while out hunting
be saw about midday a very bril-
liant meteor. which left q bright,
shining train behind it, visible for
several seconds. The meteor made
its appearance in the east, from
thirty to thirty five degrees above
the horizon and moved rapidly from
southwark to northward, with e
downward inclination of about
forty-fye degrees.

THE TWO COURTS.

The law provides that the Court
of General Sessions shall meet on
Monday and The Court of Common
Pleas on the following Wednes-
day but it also provides that ali
the criminal business shall be dis
posed Of before the civil court is
opened. This renders it impossible
for parties interested to tell on what
day the civil court will be opened,
no one being able to determine
how much time will be consumed
by the criminal court ; and the dis
pleasure Of witnesses and others
who are kept waiting for their cases
to be called is visited upon the at
torneys. Witnesses on the civil
side Of the court are often put to
much inconvenience and considers
bic expense, by this uncertainty
and it seems to US that all parties
interested in the civil court should
be enabled to know precisely at
what time that court will be opened.
In other words, the two courts
should not oyer-laps, or run into
each other-one should not occupy
the time of the other-the law
should give the Court of Sessions a
reasonable time for the transaction
of its business, and direct the Court
of Common Pleas to be opened on
day certain.

because he is habitually addicted
to the use Of Intoxicating liquors,
gets drunk, and degrades the honor
able position he occupies at present;
has done it repeatedly, and will do
it again. We cannot understand
how sober people can conscien-
tiously support man for such en-
exalted and important position who
sets such an. example before the
morals of the country as Governor
McEnery has repeatedly done since
he has been Governor of the State.
1t is, indeed, a deplorable sight, and
one calculated to, inspire any sober
