A MACHINE WHICH MAY REvoLUTIoSrzR
THE COTToN lNDUsTRY.-The Birmingham
(Ala) Agc Herald gives some particulars Of
patented scheme which, if equal to repre-
sentation might revolutionizc the cotton
industry Of the South. The project is said
TO comprise n cotton ginnery, machine to
prepare the cotton for the spindle, spindles
TO turn it into yarns and to convert it into
cloth, the cost of the whole plant not 10 e1
ceed $4,000. machine is put up at some
central point in aco,ton growing country.
Its ginning capacity is three bales per day.
Within n radius Of three or four miles it
will draw enough cotton to supply il for
year. The farmer hauls his cotton 10 the
machine just as he now does to the gin.
Now he pays for having it ginned and pack
ed,>also fer bagging and ties, and then
must come and get it and haul it away to
come railway station or market town. With
the new process he sells his cotton in the
sced at the market price to the company or
owner of the gin. The machine will take
fhe sffahsqeffSd to The spirdle.. These s."
yarns arc bundled up and shipped directly
TO the mills to be woven into cloth-Tke-
saving the freight of the cotton to the
market town, tho cost Of bagging and ties,
and the lighter covering ofthe yarn bales;
also the commission, insurance aud ware
mousse charges aud weighing, altogether
about S3 or "A per bale: Nearly all this
difference would 90 into the planter pock-
ct. In addition to tho enhanced price of
the cotton to the producer, there would be
\a vast amount Of money kept E. home which
pes 10 the people employed in spinning the
hw cotton. Every neighborhood would
nave its own factory, giving employment
10 its own people and keeping their wages
In circulation as we'll as the profits of the
mill owner. Next after the spindle would
come the loom. From turning the cotton
into yarns would come the turning it
into cloth. 1t is not likely that these little |
neighborhood establishments would ever |
get to making the finer goods, but they |
'@ould turn out cloth sufficiently fine for |
'iommon uses. The inventor is Mr.. II. NJ. |
'o'en, who proposes to exhibit his machin-
'c.J at the Alabama State Fair, TO be held |
at Birmingham. The invention is now the
property ofa stock company, which has de-
termined, since the recent successful teet at
Tuscaloosa, to push it. Mr.. Allen was
brought up lin cotton factory at Prattvills.

BrndstreetS, February YIN.
Interest in the improvement OF the
couutry's roads is no. confined to any
one section OF the country. We have
eeen what attention the subject has at-
tracted in the north aud east; it is appar-
ently attracting no less attention in the
aon,h. For example, a proposition to
hold congress to consider the best
means of improving the roads of the
stste has been brought forward in
Georgia, and, judging from the com
ments OF the state press, the proposal ia
hing fayora5iy received. The congress
will be held in Atlanta in May next, and
and il is hoped that practicable seheme
Of reform in road administration will be
adopted. The question IL one which ad-
drssses itself with peculiar force to the
Commercial and agricultural interests OF
the country. The merchant aud the ag-
,icultnrist alike find their account In
ready exchange of products, an easy
marketing OF crops, and it need not be
said that such desirable contamination
NAV be very much retarded by bad roads.

cost not less than $50, 600, will be erected
in its place. The new bull ling will be

An Interesting question at this time is,
who will be selected by Senator Higgins TO
he -his ,ntivate secretary when he enters
upon the discharge Of his arduous duties al
Washington as the sole Republican senator
from the border states?
For this responsible and politically i'm.
portant posit on there are three expectant
and two possibilities. The expectants are
Frederick e Bach, who was editor OF the
Euening journal before II changed Its policy
Ia consideration OF Democratic advertising
patronage, and who made IL a etratght-oui
Higgins organ; Horace Greeley Knowles,
who believes that his defeat for the House
clerkskip alone made Higgins nomination
for the senatorship possible; and Repre-
sentative MeKeudree Downham OF George
town, who ascribes Higgins nomination
solely to his masterly leadership OF the
Treat forces in tha memorable Republican
senatorial caucus. rne possibilities are
Pencil Higgins. Naw York journalist and
brother OF the senH, or and Senator Higgins

ABOLISH THE LEVY COURT
WHO WILL BR SENATOR HIGGINS
PhIYA Sc SEObErARR.
Three Expcctants and Two Possi-
biIities - Three County Comtuts-
sioners Suggested 90 Take the Placo
of the Levy Court

The bill shortly to be introduced into the
General Assembly providing for the Rbol-
lshment OF the levy court and the creation
OF board of three commissioners who
shall discharge the duties OF the former
body, Is generally conceded by tax payers
to be q wise and needed reform. d num-
ber OF prominent Democrats OF this county
were framing bill covering these reforms,
when notice was given OF the Introduction
OF a similar measure In the Legislature.
The commissioner system commends itself
to every tax payer and every one Interested
In an economic administration OF county
affairs. OF very large number oil farmers
who have expressed themselves upoa the
matter, there Is not dissenting voice as to
the merits OF this proposed change, and
there will be united effort OF the part OF
the farmers OF this county 70 secure the
passage of the measure.
The game system as proposed, is IN
operation 10 the surrounding coun>
ties of Pennsylvania and Marylano
and IL has more than Proved. and
stends as testimony IN contrast with the
Delaware plan OF levy courts, Us Ia every
way superior. The levy court is cumper7
some, expensive body. Lasr year the salary
| and mileage OF the eleven mempsrt
amounted 70 over $4,000 while through the
service is performed for about $4,000
In the counties where they govern.
! The saving In salaries is Stall
| consideration, said TO be very small
indeed TO the reductfah'ot expenses In other
ways. It is charged that much money has
been expended by the members ofthe court
| in the past in directions where 1t would
best serve toward returning the disburser.
For this cause 1t Is argued great amount
| OF the Taxpayers money is expended with :
out any adequate results and that the county
debt Is rapidly Increasing and there Is little
II anything to show for 'the money. It is
unanimously conceded by every farmer that
the tax rate Is enormous and it's exactions
pecunisrily burdensome TO the agricnl-
tural community.
Said one prominent farmer to the
GAZETTE day or two ago: "On my farm oi
12J acres the county tax requires about the
gross yield OF five acres OF land In corn,
To produce this the expense, labor, DO,
pecessitates the outlay Of the marketable
value OF five acres more OF the land In the
same cereal. Thus you see 10 acres OF my
property and the equivalent OF the entire o.
my best and most remunerative crop u
consumed by the taxes. You car
readily see for yourself that nearly
20 per cent of my revenue from my farm Il
eaten up in taxes. There will have to belf
halt or half the farms will be swallowed NJ
and wiped out mainly through excessive
taxes" This opinion 10 entertained by fht
large majority of the farmers IN New Oastl'
county, and the necessity OF abolishlng the
levy court and turning the work over L
three commissioners will be strongly urged
upon the Legislature.
