Cotton Picked by siachinory.

The essential feature is $40 fingers
or spiadles projecting through the
form Of hollow cylinder These
fingers are ten inches long, and have
at the end a brush or tip or fine
wire, and setin four grooves radially
Is horse hair, clipped 50 it projects
from the fingers about one-twentieth
Of an inch, the tip and the hairs OH
tho side being the means of getting
the cotton from the bolls. TIE fin
gers or spindles are given a whirling
motion by, q system Of cog gear en-
closed within the cylinder. Moving
forward, the cylinder reyolyes, tho
fingers como in contact with the cot
ton, the whirling motion Of the fin
gers ~entangles the cotton lint, and it
is picked, then carried upward and
backward until cleaned from the fin-
gers by brushes, and thrown into re-
eeptacles holding sixty pounds Of
seed cotton.
The revolutions are 80 timed that
the fingers which project ct tbs
Fspokes of a wheel strike the plant
without q raking motion, for that
would damage the plant. No injury
comes 70 the leaf or boil from run
ming the machine over the plant.
With a width of four feet, length
seven feet, and height Of five and
one-half feet, the machine, complete,
weighs about 1900 pounds, and is of
easy draught for two mules.
Thursday a party Of gentlemen
went to the Ruffne" place, on the
Robinsonville road and saw tho
Campbell machine in operation.
The rows were 1856 yards long, and
were gone over twice, the result be-
ing the cotton was clearly picked out
Of the bolls, the machine being as
thorough in this respect as the fin
gers of the negro. No injury to fG
liage, bolls or branches Of the plant
was noted. ,s T..
In the morning when the cotton
was slightly damp, q gathering froaa
one row made by the machine
weighed q little more than thirty
pounds; the waste, knocked on the
ground by the machine, was picked
up by the hand and weighed five
ounces. In the afternoon, with the
cotton perfectly dry, the cotton
picked weighed over twenty-eight
pounds. and the waste picked up
weighed nearly three and one-half
pounds.
The time made was about five
pounds a minute, or 800 pounds an
hour. Allowing time, literally, for
emptying tho receptacles, stopping
for repairs, meals, and SO on, the
machine could easily work ten hours
a day and would gathor 5000 pounds
at a total expense of not more than
50 per day. Waco (Ga.) Day.

The Clemson College.


~ has tfsnspired, from sources
Seeiaed reliable, that the President
saha. three professors elect are
all Episcopalians. Attention$is called
to this report not to criticise tho ac-
top Of the trustees Of that inssitu.
ton, for IL is presumable that they
are acting in accordance with their
best lights.
u; furnishes, notwithstanding, con-
siderable food for thought. There
are In the State, in round numbers,
10000 Baptists, 10000 Methodists,
$4,000 Ptesb, tt%eorialls, besides Ia
goodly number Of Lptherans and
Associate Reformed Presbyterians
and less than 5000 Episcopalians.
This latter GLASS lives mostly ii,
cities as non-tproducers, and very few
of them are farmers or are supposed
to know or care anything for farm
Ing. On the other hand, the Baptists
and Methodists furnish an over.
whelming majority Of the sons Of
toll. While Yale and Harvard a
find Baptist scholars to fill their
most difficult chairs, it may be true
that it is more difficult to find dis.
senting material to man the nascent
~ SD n -. %. .-aH -".H.
Clemson. {
1t is also known that that same
scot was opposed, almost to a man,
to tho establishment of the institu-
ton whose chairs they arc quickly
filling up.
And it is further known that their
traditions and Instincts are all op-
posed to that freedom and indiyidu-
atty in politics and religion which
are priced as inalienable rights by
our farming population.
But maybe, after all, a Baptist and
a Methodist professor may yet be
allowed to have a chair in the insti-
tuition, so that it may also masque,
rade in the light of the Goth century
as undenominational and u%nseota-
rian.
1t takes but a little effort of the
fancy to complete the picture. The
body of the professors belonging to
m sect and drawing large salaries.
will be able to build a chapel and
hold services and prc-empt the
ground for the church, while the lone
Baptist aud Methodist professors
with about nine-tenths of the stu
dents may take their choice between
walking n mile or two to an humble
church, or staying to attend a church
whose teaching is in direct antago-
nism to the religion of their fathers.
Our duty under these circum-
stances seems plain. See to it that
IL UNCONVENTIONAL school at Green
vile is well sustained. Sec to it
that your sons and your neighbors'
son arc not led into institutions
whose whole surroundings arc re-
minders of a yoke long since thrown
off.
See to it that the slight balance
yet lacking to secure Rockefe]ler's
gift be sent Immediately to DIR.
