Another Invention.

The Birmingham (Ala.) Age Herald
gives some particulars Of patented
scheme which, if equal to representation,
might revolutionize the cotton industry
OF the South. The project is said to
comprise cotton ginuery, machine to
prepare the cotton Tor the spindle, spin
dies to turn it into yarns and looms to
convert it into cloth, the cost of the
whole plant not to exceed $4,000. A
machine is put up ct some central point
in q cotton growing country. Its ginning
capacity is three bales per day. Within
q radius of three or four miles it will draw
enough cotton to supply it for year.
The farmer hauls his cotton to the
machine just as he now does to the gin.
Now he pays for having it.ginned and
packed, also for bagging and ties, and
then must come and get it and haul it
away to some railway station or market
town. With the new process he sells his
cotton in the seed at the market price to
the company or owner of the gin. The
machine will take the seed cotton, gin it,
put it into rolls, the rolls be transferred
to the spindles. These yarns are bundled
up and shipped directly to the mills to be
woven into cloth. The saving is the
freight ofthe cotton to the market town,
the cost of packing and the difference
between the cost Of baggipg and ties and
the lighter covering Of the yarn bales;
also the commission, insurance and ware
house charges and weighing, altogether
about 50 or 81 per bale. Nearly all this
difference would go into the planters
pocket In addition to the enhanced
price of the cotton to the producer, there
would be a vast amount of money kept at
home which goes to the people employed
in spinning the raw cotton. Every
neighborhood would have its own factory,
giving employment to its own people and
keeping the wageslin circulation as we'll
the profits of the mill owner. Next after
the spindle would coms the loom. From
turning the cotton into yarns would come
the turning it into cloth. 1t is not like.
IL that these little neighborhood estab-
lishments would ever get to making the
finer goods, but they could turn out cloth
sufficiently fine for common use. The
inventor is Mr.. 81. M. Allen, who propo
ses to exhibit his machinery at the Ala.
bama State Fair, to be held at Birming.

A company drilling for natura

A company drilling for natural gas
at upper Sandusky, Ohio, one day last
week, struck gushing stream with a
great flow. It was impossible to stop it.
a visitor on Saturday evening tossed
lighted match into the flowing gas, which
vas ignited and sprang up in a flame
that quickly enveloped the great derrick
and sheds adjoining. Ina few minutes
they were reduced to ashes and the great
waving stream of gas sprapg upward un.
obstructed. The light.could be seen for
many miles. The strip of woods near
the well took fire, and as it is very dry the
flames there ragged furiously. No means
of stopping the flow Of gas are at hand,
and nothing can be done to check it.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 30.-A Tt
tusville special says: NJ. 81. Adams,
postal clerk on the route between here
and Jupiter Inlet, died a horrible death
last night from tie effects of rattlesnake
bite. About midnight Saturday night he
accidentally stepped on snake as be was
walking on the public highway. The
serpent attacked him and buried his fangs
in Adams leg. He twisted handker-
chief about the wound, and hurried to 8
physician. The wound was copped and
poulticed and whisky used freely, but the
treatment availed nothing, the patient
suffering intensely until the poison fin.
ished its work. Adams was originally
from Montreal.
DARrEN, Ga, Sept. SO.-Mr. James
O'Brien, Jr., came in from the Ridge, and
was caught in the rain, being pretty we'll
soaked when he arrived at his livery sta.
BILE. He at once proceeded to bis room for
the purpose of changing his clothing.
After selecting all necessary articles, with
the exception of a pair of socks, be pulled
open the bottom drawer of the bureau,
expecting to find them there, but to his
great astonishment upon opening box, in
which he usually kept his ties, he found
coiled therein snake about twenty. six
inches long. Jim in opening the box,
touched the snake with his hand, and was
so frightened, fell backward, knocking
over chairs and everything movable and
with three backward somersaults, was
safely through two doors, and out of harms
way. One of the hiied men killed the
snake, and Jim again entered the room,
but could not be induced to touch even
the hem of the counterpaue. But the
mystery is, how did the snake. find its
way into the drawer, and into the box?

THE ROAD QUESTION.

The Public Road question has been
before the public &c often, and SO much
has been said in reference thereto that it
is with some reluctance that we again
broach the subject. Indeed, it is only
our sense of the great Importance Of the
question to our people as a whole, that
impels us to write this article, in the hope
that some some step will be taken by our
next Legislature to effect the end so
much desired. II will not be denied
thata change for the better in our road
system is needed, for while the roads in
Anderson County are (thauks to the
Murray Road Law worked, perhaps,
better and more efectually than those Of
any other County in the State, there is
still great room for improvement.
Without going into any Of the plans
suggested by recent writers on the sub.
ject, and some of their plans are to be
commended, we think some system should
be adopted BY which not only our pres.
ent force Of road workers could be more
effectively used, but one that would ena.
BILE us to utilize labor which is now lost
entirely-we mean those persons who are
confined in our County Jails, either
before or after trial. Persons who are
charged with some offense beyond the
jurisdiction Of Trial Justices, and who, in
default Of bail, are sent to Jail to await
the converting Of the Court Of Sessions.
They should be put to work on the roads,
and if upon their trial they should be
acquitted, let the County pay them fixed
sum for their labor, first deducting the,
cost for their keeping; -but,if they are
convicted, let. their net earnings, before
.ccng:c.ion, go toward paying their fine
or ;o;mitigating their punishment, what.
ever that might be. Of course, itwould
be necessary. in framing bill to carry
into effect the above suggestions, to
clearly define the cases in which this
Law is to apply. Perhaps it would be
we'll to draw the line at felonies, and
make tho Law applicable only in offences
below that grade. It would also be
necessary to make some adequate provis-
ion to carry out the purposes of such a
Law, but we think the end could be ac-
complished BY 8 chain gang. The Coun.
ty would certainly lose nothing, as by
the present system We not only have to
feed them, but have to keep them in
;idleness. It is our opinion, however,
that ne wonld save not only in actual
cash, but get thevalueof the labor on our
roads besides. Perhaps if we could get
sthe Road Congress, which several of our
exchanges have lately discussed, some
plan could then be devised. We may
have something further to say on this
subject, and in the n eantime hope to.
have an expression Of opinion from all
parts Of the State on this all-important
question.

DEFY THE WEATHER.
Carnival Festivities Will Be Car
ried Out as ARRANGED.

Directors of the Carnival association
met at the Ryan yesterday afternoon to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
preparations Tor the carnival, those
present comprising: President W. A.
Van Slyke, G. R. Finch, Jnhn Sum-
mers, w. S. Morton, E. J. Frost, G.
Gordon, c. Hornick. W. NJ. Bushnell,
G. Benz, C. S. Fee. T. r. Well and Sec
rotary Whitney Wall. There was a
full discussion of the subject. and while
some members thought that the con-
tinued warm weather would operate
against the successful building of the
proposed palace, others were willing to
go ahead with the preparations and
trust to change in the temperature
to make the ice palace feasible.
1t was decided that, even ii the weather
was not cold enough to justify the
directors in attempting to build an ice
palace, that they would have week of
carnival festivities and carry out the
programme already agreed upon re-
garding floats and displays, as contracts
had been made with number of par
ties in the East. All present expressed
their views, and after several hours
discussion it was determined that the
DdldcC OC UUllU IL TIC WCdtllCI
permitted, but under no consideration
should there be postponement of fes-
tivitles. The committee On advertising
were instructed to complete negotia-
tions with a number of leading papers
in the East, and vote was taken, which
resulted in tile unanimous adoption of
a resolution to have an ice palace and
endeavor to make it superior to any
thing hitherto ATTEMPTED.
