Ailan,a's Edison,

Atlanta has q sewing machine made in
Georgia, OF Georgia iron, wood and steel, and
it runs itself.
For forty years sewing machine men have
been trying to devise a motor which would do
away with the pedal movement that is doing
so much damage
1t remained for an Atlanta man to solve the
problem, and here Is the way IL came about:
One Sunday evening in last December Mr..
John BroSius and Mrs. 1}rOsiUS were sitting on
their front polch on Houston street, and with
them were Mr. and Mrs. Powers, their next
door neighbOgs.
Mrs. Powers, knowing his inventive genius,
said TO Mr.. Brosus:
"Why don't you invent something TO run
sewing machines, and save the women 80
much hard work? 2"
81 told her that I didn't caro- anything
about sewing machines said Mr.. firOsius yester
day, IN speaking oi,the occurrence, ''but little
while afterwards three sewing women passed
by and one Of thon had her hand ON her hip
They looked tired aud worn ont and 1 thought
to myself, IT'S work OF humanity, / must
invent something to take tho place of this
pedal movement that is wearing out The
women
'That night Did not sleep, and the next
day told Mr.. Powers had the motor and
would make one.
"'Why, you have got tho biggest thing in
the world, mani said he, when explained it
to him.
~ made the motor, the smaller OF the two
you saw in Mr.. Howell's Office and fitted it to
Mrs. powers's sewing machine aud 1t ran like
a top"
A stock company with 100000 capital stock
has been formed In Atlanta TO make the ma
chimes and motors and all the stock is taken
but about 100000 The charter will be Sc
cured on the LIST Of October and the movers in
the enterprise say that they will be making
machines by the hundred in less than three
mouths. etfv
1t is ''clookwork reversed as Mr.. Brcsius
describes it. an ordinary clock work tho
springs start the motion and there Is a system
Of wheels 10 speed it down so as to measure
time In Mr.. Brosius's motor the motion is
started by springs, but the wheels are so
arranged as to speed it up to rapid velocity.
OF course it takes powerful springs 10 furnish
the required power when tho speed is multi
Piled Mr.. Brosius uses four inch coil OF
heavy steel an inch and half wide, and say
one-eigth to one-sxteenth Of an inch thick.
Two such coils run a sewing machine as IL
it were toy 1t takes q lever two feet long
to wind them with case, and a few turns Of
the lever will run the machine fifteen minutes.
Itstitches through jeans several times doubled,
and yet it is 50 easily controlled by brake
that in stitching muslin the speed can DO regu-
lated SO as to turn the sharpest corner with
nicely, or TO stop in an instant if ii is desired.

The Infamous Trust.

WASHINGTON, September M.-LSpecial !
There have been many petitions presented TO
congress recently asking the removal OF the
duty on cotton bagging 1t was thought by the
removal of the duty the price would be cheap
ened and the object Of the trust defeated. 1t
seems, however, that tho originatoTs OF the
trust in forming their combine, took all this
into consideration, and so timed their advance
In prices that even if the duty was removed 1t
could be of no practical benefit TO the farmer
this year.
Chairman Bacon, of the committee on man
pfactures, which has been investigating THIS
trust said to your correspondent today that
She investigation had been concluded and the
report viii be made in short while.
Upon being asked the result OF the investiga-
sion, Mr.. Bacon said:
ave have discovered that there is no jute
oaggiug within three months of the
United States which is not in the
hands of this trust. The Dundee
sute merchants have none, and the only place
Where it can be obtained is at Calcutta, from
which place, i'll the ordinary course of ship
ment, it would require at least three months
to get it here. This being the case. the re-
moval of the duty from bagging would be pro-
ductive of no benefit for this season. Tho
planter must have his bagging ready by the
middle of October or the first of November
at the latest, or it is of no use to him. The
trust knowing this did not make its presence
known by raising the price until July, and
country, it has the planters at its mercy, I'M
less some substitute can DO used in which to
wrap the cotton"
WASHINGTON, September 27.-The house
judiciary committee today considered the sub
3ect OF trusts. Thefe are a number Of bills
Concerning trusts before the committee, vary
Ing in the degree of severity with which it IS
proposed to treat them, aud differing mater
ially in details, while agreeing substantially in
the intent to render them imperative or to
prohibit them. Chairman Culber5on was
snxious TO secure a favorable report upon his
own bill, but other measures also had their
advocates, and as the discussion ran on, the
coup,eyity Of the problem began TO appear
with the result Of convincing members OF the
committee that the subject will require very
nice treatment before measure can be framed
that will avoid constitutional and other objec-
lions, and Of avail In checking the operation OF
trusts. No action resulted from today's meet
ing, and consideration Of the subject viii DO
continued at another session.

Shutting Out the Jute.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. September 27.-[Spe
cial. THE meeting of the National Farmers
Alliance, which takes place in Meridian, Miss.
In few days. viii have before it as the lead
ing question the cotton bagging trust. Resolu-
lions first adopted by the State Farmers Union
of Louisiana are being adopted by the alliances
In Alabama Georgia and South Carolina
After denouncing the trust, it is
Resolved, That we will use jute bagging to
wrap our present cotton crop, but will make use Of
any material for wrapping purposes that will be re-
cefved by cotton purchasers and handlers and that
we will use such substitutes, even though IT shon
entail loss upon us, provided that the foregoing
Shall not hinder any brother from using the Jute
hagging he may now have on hand.
The delegates to the National Alliance thus
Instructed will take action committing the
farmers Of the whole country in a universal
boycott Of the jute combine.

The Alliance Steps In.

RALEIGH, N. O., September 27.-[speciall
There is a curious new phase in the political
contest in the second congressional district,
which the republicans did not expect, and
which will go largely towards undermining
their plans. There were two negro republican
candidates, each claiming to be the regular
nominees. Against them was I. NJ. Simmons,
present democratic member of the house, who,
swo years ago, in similar triangular contest,
got in. The protective league last week bought
off one of the republican candidates named
Mebane, and the republicans then felt certain
of defeating Simmons, but at this the farm
ers' alliance steps up to Simmons. Simmons
had made bitter and vigorous attacks on the
trusts, and particularly upon the baggiug trust,
which has endeared him to the farmers ALI
ance, which is very strong in his district. The
alliance has now decided TO back him, and will
vote for him. His friends claim that his re-
election is now certain. The alliance is a
power in this state, where it now has 10000
members, and today charter was issued to
sub-alliance No 1902.

NEWS OF THE ALLIANCES.

Pine Straw Bagging Free.
The sensation of the day is the pine straw
oagging, described elsewhere in this paper. 1t
u made by only one mill at present, though
dozen factories have ordered machinery to be-
gin making it. 1t is perfect success, and if
se stands all the tests will make market for
pine straw that is now waste.
1t is clearly the duty of every southern
farmer to help introduce pine straw bagging.
II will make the south independent of bagging
trusts, it will utilize the waste product, and
will enable US to make at homo what we now
spend 100000 to get
The CONSTITUTION, which has led the
farmers fight against the baggng trust, wants
TO spread pine straw bagging over the south
We believe that in that way the fight can be
permanently whipped. We have, therefore,
bought from the Acme mills three thousand
yards OF pine straw bagging which we intend
20 distribute among the farmers of the south
free, freight paid: Here is the plan:
We tciU send any alliance in the south
that eOiu send us Twenty-Five subscribers, at
one dollar each, Twenty-Five CARDS Of pine
stratc bagging, which WiU pack four bales
Of cotton. Any alliance that sends as
Fifteen subscribers, at one dollar each, acilI
feceiue tlcelce CARDS Of pine stra,o bagging,
and any alliance that sends as ten sub
scribers, at one dollar each, aoiU receiUe
secer CARDS Of bagging, freight paid, which
Is enough to pack one bale. Remember
Che terms.
% Subscribers at 81 90 each gets Is yards of pine
straw b6gging.
10 Subscribers, at S0o each, gets 10 yards of pine
straw bagging.
30 Subscribers, at S1Oo each, gets yards of pine
straw bagging
This bagging comes free and freight paid,
end costs yOu moi q cent.
Now think of this offer. There is not an
alliance in the south that cannot, ats it next
meeting get us twenty-five subscribers at one
dollar each, and it will then receive immedi-
ately twenty-five yards of pine straw bagging
This offer is open to everybody and is not con-
fined to alliances alone. Any man who will
send us ten subscribers at one dollar each,
will receive seven yards Of bagging free and
freight paid.
Sec the effect OF this. II an alliance in each
county will send a club, in less than thirty
QSyS We Will nave pine stfaW paggUlg eAanl-
ined and tried in every county in the south,
and cotton baled with it sold in every southern
market. The experiment will thus be perfect,
and in less than six months we will have pine
straw factories in every state, working up pine
straw and knocking the stuffing out OF tho
bagging trust. Get up your clubs at once and
send in The Acme mills write us that they are
sefusing orders every day, and that they have
sold US three thousand yards simply because
We propose to distribute the bagging through
out the south in small quantities so as to give
d general trial and beat the bagging trust.

San Antonio Behind.

ALIGHT reporter dropped in at a
meeting of the fair directors this
morning and was firmly convinced by
what he saw and from letters he
heard read that the approaching In
ternational Fair is going TO be mag
nificent success in every particular,
which embraces the attraction of the
exhibition itself and the immense at
tendance already assured. But the
scribe was disappointed, in looking
over the entry book, to discover that
Dallas and northern cities will totally
eclipse San Antonio in the grand dis
play to be made in the main exhibit
ton hall. This should not be. Though
international in feature, still this is
San Antonio's fair, and San Antonio
should stand forth as the central fig
ure in every department. If our bust
ness men are too shOrt-sighted to APP
preciate the self interest involved in
such a broad platform their local
pride should prompt them to
an effort to make San Antonio
loom up over and far above all COM
petitors. The business men OF the
city cannot afford to let competitors
in other towns reap all the benefits OF
this big advertisement, especially
when home firms can make twice as
handsome showing with the same
amount OF money that foreign houses
will spend on their exhibits.
Monday, November 10Th, has been
set aside as "Knights of Pythias
Dav." for which most attractive pro-
gramme is being arranged.
Come forward, San Antonians, make
a respectable showing for your town
at the fair.
Machinery hall is to be enlarged to
accommodate the increasing demands
for more space.
