Several papers in the Third Congress
ional District have stated that strong
solicitation is being presented to Judge
u. S. Cothran, Of Abbeville, to induce
him to enter the race in the Third Con-
gressional District for the purpose Of
retaining the representative in Abbeville
County. Judge Cothran is charming,
able and popular man, and would make
an acceptable and distinguished repre-
sentative. He has high qualification for
that kind of work. We admire his geni.
sus and his worth, but we do not think
be should consent, to make !, the race
which is urged upon him.. Abbeville
County has had the representative for ten
years, and there is, in our judgment, no
justification for calling on q Circuit
Judge TO enter the race to keep,the other
Counties from having the Congressman.
These Counties have able and upright
/. men, who have worked as hard for their
country and have as strong claims upon
the people ss the distinguished sons of

Jobn w Younp the oldest son n

- John w. Young, the oldest son of
Brigham Young, has been the principal
agent in the mormon lobby working
against the pending legislation to repress
mormon practices. He is said to possess
many of the remarkable qualities of his
father, including his wonderful energy
and self.reliance. Most of his property
interests are in Utah, but he has also a
business Office in New York city. It is
through him that the correspondence has
been carried on and the money disbursed.
His mother was the first of the seventeen
wives of Brigham, and he was the first of
the fifty-two children of whom the great
mormon apostle was the sire. All of the
children of the different mothers are said
to possess more or less of the Characters
tics of the father. Most or the girls were
pronounced blondes and fine specimens
of physical and intellectual womanhood.
The old man, of course, had his pick for
wives, and his entire family of mothers
and children were always stars among the
mormon population. The majority of
the sons and daughters are still in Utah,
but some of them are in the Pacific
States, and some in England. They are
all in comfortable, circumstances, as their
father at his death distributed impartially
his immense wealth. One of the young
er sons was sent to West Point, and is
now first lieutenant of engineers in the
United States army.
Georgia has furnished an inventor
in the person of Owen T. Bugg, who has
patented cotton picker, which he is
manufacturing in New York. Bugg's
picker was patented in November 1885,
and the manufacture began in February,
1886. A test shows that it picked 76!
per cent. of the cotton in a field on the
first trial. The picker weig 900 pounds,
and is driven over row of cotton plants.
A number of rotary picker stems pass by
vertical endless belts among the plants
forward and back to the rear. The
pickers have small pins bent downward
and whirl around as they move. The
pins catch the cotton until filled, when
they are Withdrawn from the plant by
the belt into a receiving department.
The cotton is unwound from the pins by
a reverse movement, and is carried by
the elevator to bag at the back of the
machine. The driver can stop operations
at any time.

The Mason Cotton Harvester.


CHARLESTON, S. O., May 22.-The
Board of Directors of the Mason Cotton
Harvester Company of this city began
proceedings yesterday against Owen T.
Bugg and the United States Cotton Har.
vester Company Of New York, inventors
and owners of cotton harvesting
machine. The claim of the Mason Com
pany is for injunction and damages on
the ground that Bugg's application for a
patent on the machine referred to was
rejected after full hearing by the Patent
Office, and that the patent was granted
to the Mason Company, and that Bugg
having been defeated in the Patent
Office has infringed several of the Mason
Company's patents in the construction of
his machine.

George Minton, her fathers coachman.
The Morse family lived in Tarrytown,

Governor Thompson Honored,

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The secret of
Governor Thompson's unexpected visit
to Washington is out, as appears from a
statement made to-day by gentleman
who was instrumental in his coming.
Said the latter: "Governor Thompson
has been here on little visit to some of
his friends, who desired him to become
personally known to the President. he
made most favorable impression at the
White House when he called with Sen.
ator Hampton, and was given to under
stand that an important Federal appoint.
ment would be offered him if he would
consider its acceptance. The proposed
appointment would have been highly
complimentary to Governor Thompson
personally, as well as to the State of
South Carolina, but be said promptly
that he was unwilling to resign the Office
of Governor merely to promote his own
interests" Governor Thompson left for
home this morning, accompanied by
Congressman Dibble, who goes to
attend to some law business. Dispatch

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 23.-It
has been learned that agents of the
Globe Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of Baltimore, concern which is de.
nounced by the Baltimore Underwriters,
are doing up East Tennessee. One of
their missionaries has been at work in
this city, and it is said he has entrapped
several of our over confiding citizens.
The argument that takes with the guilt
BILE, and which is printed in their circu-
lars, is as follows: We will insure your
life for ten years free of all charges by
ton Of If L he N ten years, and pay you si7.G4

your life for $1,000. 1t is understood
that several of the suckers" in this city

put the authorities on the track of the
agent.

The third day of June has been liked
iior the consideration of bills reported
from the Labor Committee in the House
Of Representatives, and under this action
the Blair Educational Bill may yet be
called up for action and passed by the
present Congress. A determined effort
was made by several leading Congress
men to prevent the fixing of any day for
reports from the labor committee, for by
shutting out such reports they would
prevent the possibility of getting the
Bill before the House without a two
thirds; majority in favor Of the, measure.
The resolution was adopted BY vote of
1856 tol7. The opponents Of the Blair
Bill largely refrained from voting in
order to break the quorum, but; their
tactics did not succeed. The labor com.
mittee reports a. substitute for the Blair
Bill, which proposes to sell the public
lands and distribute between the States
for school purposes, and it will ,be the
Bill to come up under the resolution
which has been adopted: The friends of
the Blair Bill, however. can offer itas q
substitute, and thus secure its passage if
they have the majority in:the House, as
they contend that they yihave. g1F' :.
