excellent gentleman, but his time han

never come. It is not 80 much what

MASON,S COTTON PICKER.
A Visit to the Inventors Workshop-Tho
Wonderful Machine Described.

A recent visit to the workshop of Mr..
Charles It. Mason, Jr., of this place,
convinced me more than ever OF the
truth of the old adage, "seeing is believ-
ing" Before inspecting the "Harves.
ter" myself, l doubted the possibility OF
any machine being able 10 discriminate
between open bolls Of cotton and those
unopen, or partially matured. Itseemed
too much like human reason. But after
spending half hour with the intelligent
inventor, and seeing the operation of the
Harvester" with my own eyes, am
satisfied that this machine can do all its
best friends ever claimed for it.
The picking portion of Ma,on's har-
vester is composed of two cylinders or
drums, made Of wood and iron, into
which are stuck at regular intervals
thing, much resembling corn cobs.
These corn cobs are hollow; they are
made of sheet brass plates, seven in
number, which are soldered together,
making the hollow corn cob. These
plates are about one inch wide and the
length of the cob about eight inches.
They are cut into numerous openings
and the parts cut are not removed but
bent slightly inwards and the ends
sharpened. The things when finished
presents the appearance of brass corn
cob, with fine teeth concealed just below
the surface. These cobs revolve each on
its own axis IA bar Of fine STEEL and the
drums into which the cobs are stuck also
revolve. The two drums, supplied with
these tooth.flled cobs, are placed so near
that whom they (tbe drums) revolve tho
cobs pass each other. The machine is
driven by a man sitting aloft, like 4
buggy. plough driver, and drawn by one
mulo or horse. AS the machine rolls

teeth, seize the ripe cotton and, by sever
ing themselves, drop it into box on
either side. An endless band, provided
with wire teeth bent downward, takes up
the lint and drops it into bags or baskets

If the revolving cob comes in contact
with unmatured cotton it revolves harm

The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu-
tionalat does not seem to think the mod
iication of the Georgia Railroad Com.
mission Law would be ont of order in
that State. 1t mentions an instance to
back-upits opinion and comments as fol-
lows:
OF three trustees of a large English
estate two reside in Great Britain and
one in Georgia. The estate amounts to
over $1,OO0,O00. Recently it became
necessary to change some English invest
yuents and the trustees of the fund acrsss
the water asked their Georgia associate
to look ont for the placing Of the sum of
100000 in Southern securities. The
Georgia trustee could not advise that the
money be invested here, but, on the con.
trery. counselled his colleagues to change
to England the 100000 already invested
in Georgia railway securities. The rea.
son assigned for this large diversion of
capitsl was the unfriendly legislation of
the State that finds expression in the
Railway Commission. This is the latest
illustration of the folly of that law and
it will have only too many limitations.
Georgia wants many more railways than
she now possesses to be properly develop.
edI:. but the chances are that neither from
the North nor from Europe will she ever
get another dollar while the present arbi'
t,ary and disastrous Commission has
permission of the people to exist. There
might have been some sense in establish
inc a Commission of moderate powers
after our territory had been thoroughly
developed commercially; but it was an
approach to lunacy to threaten and drive
of capital at a time when it was about
to pour into the State for the common
rood. Thousands of Georgia men and
their families suffer to-day, because Of
the extinguishment of these railway en-
terprises, which would have more than
ouadrupied the material value of the
commonwealth. It is time that the
people of Georgia awoke to these facts
and sent men to the Legislature who

POLITICAL DUPLICITY.

The Washington correspondent Of tho
News and Courier, speaking Of the du-
plicity Of public men, says:
I mean, Of course, duplicity in things
political. Ask any Cabinet officer, and
he will, if at liberty to speak frankly,
unfold such tale of Congressional by.
pocrisy that it would astonish the most
cynical. For instance: Says late Assist
ant Secretary of tho Interior Bell: II
have had 3 member Of Congress call on
me and introduce constituent. He
would say: Mr.. Bell, this is Mr.. Brown,
of my district, and want to tell you be
il the best friend I've got in it. With
out him our party could not carry the
district. Now, I want 4 place for him,
and must have it. I have promised
him, and am determined to see that he
mas it. he is personally worthy and de.
serves it for political services To this
warm recommendation, which would go
to great extent, would listen patiently,
perhaps assuring him that couldn't
promise, but would do the best / could
TO provide for Mr.. Brown. The congress
man would thank me and take away his
constituent well.pleased. Perhaps this
same Congressman would return within
an hour and drawing chair close to me
whisper: Look here, you know am not
serious about this case of Browns. He
and his friends have bothered me so
much I had 10 promise to do something.
He is now satisfied. I've got another
man for any place when it comes to an
appointment Now you can see how
this works" continued Mr.. Bell. Brown,
who thinks his member sincere, believes
he is just SIS good as provided for. He
makes arrangements to remain in. Wash
ington, and does remain as long as his
money and patience last, and then goes
back home disgusted. The blame rests
on the department and the Congressman
gets the credit of having done the best he
could for the man he knitted"
This is an aggravated case, but there is
no doubt very great hypocrisy in public
and private citizens in the matter Of Pc
titions. It has become so general that
petitions for appointment to Office have
become almost worthless, the rule being
general to sign whichever petition comes
along first, 30 as to avoid giving ofsnse
TO any person. 1t is all wrong to sign a
petition for the appointment of an un-
suitable person to Office, but it is oftener
done from kindness of heart than from
any bad motive, and in this NE expect
there is very little difference between the
private citizen and the public Office.
Human nature governs both of them.

baggage car on the outside nor is
there anything gaudy inside, but
every convenience possible is ar
ranged. The floor was covered

and against the stalls hang thick
