The only thing that seems to be wanting
in those old places is money. There
does not appear to be any cataclysm or
catastrophe sudden or active enough to
prevent the community in town from
getting away with its money before it
was destroyed. Vesuvius caught few
people in its lava stream in Pompeii and
Herculaneum, but somebody seems to
have got away with the money. If they
have excavated any banks, the deposit

The above heading has DOUBTLESS

is conceded by the best authori-
tiles that to build a town you
must support your home industries.
You must not expect them to do
your work at exactly the same
prices as it could be done in New
York, Chicago or st. Louis. They
have not got the capital, facilities
anu Incorporation, and lastly, the
improved machinery. Yet tils work
can lie done at home in as good
shape as elsewhere, and it ia a sui
cidal policy-one of narrow mind
edness-to send your work abroad,
and none who have the trle inter-
ests of their home at stake will do
so. Homer is growing-a ;act none
will deny-but to reach tile top of

must be laid against the wheel and

A SUCCESSFUL INVENTION

1t has been often said that sue
cess could not he attained in the
inventions of cotton pickers and
cotton choppers, the former, the
saying may continue to hold good
but those who have seen the practi.
cal working of T. G.. & A. E.
Wilder's cotton cupper, now admit
that cotton chopping has been made
easy. A few days ago we witness
, ed the practical application of this
! simple machine, in q patch Of
cotton near the residence OF
Mr.. A. E. Wilder in the
town of Homer. With wha,
knowledge ourreporterhas of work
ing cotton, we unhesitatingly pro-
;nounce it a success. The principle
of the machine is, that the two
plows which run asst Oh an ordinary
double stock, cover all the grass
and the cot,vSiG. il thq gov, except
that which is protected by the cups
fastened on the rotary wheel. We
saw Mr.. Wilder nse the machine
with two different wheels, one OF
which had cups IA inches apart anG
the other IS inches.
In both cases the wheels revolvei
uniformly and regularly and in.
variably left the cotton standing the
distance of the cups apart. The
cotton was left standing in punches
containing from one to six stalks,
owing to the number there were
where the cup midtown. Itscems
to us that this machine will do the
work of four single plows, and
three or four hoe hands at the first
working of the cotton. When the
cotton has been ploWed or cupped
with this machine it can stand fol-
ten or twelve days when 1t can be
plowed again and then thinned out
to single stalk with a hoe. As
there aretwo plows, it only re-
CURES one time to the row, so that
one hand and horse can easily pIow
six acres per day. Under the old
plan it takes one plow day to
ploW three acres, four hand q day
to chop it out, and one pillow an
other day to dirt it. This machine
practically speaking, prepares Six
acres as well as the above would
be, with one horse and one hand in
one day. The machine is so con-
structcd that it can be operated
successfully anywhere that an Or
binary double stock can be used.
Of course it is essential that there
be good stand of cotton where ii
is used.

CLAIBORNE COLLEGE

Some weeks ago mention was
made in these columns in reference
to The dilapidated condition of the
College building, which created
some little enthusiasm, and again
we desire to call the attention Of
the people concerned to il. We
believe that the College has one,
if not the best, faculties it ever pos
sessed, and it is useless for us to
give a rehash of what has formerly
been said OF them by the press and
people of this community.
1t will not be long before parents
will be seeking a good school for
their boys and girls, and As they
SOMETIMES take into consideration
the buildings, grounds, etc., as
well as the faculty, it would be well
for us to begin the overhauling of
the magnificent school building we
have, and which only requires
few hundred dollars to put it in
splendid shape. There are few
buildings in this State that are bet
ter adopted for the purpose for
which it was built, constructed of
better material or at a larger cost
than our college building; and
again, none are situated SO pleas
antly nor in a healthier community,
and for the want Of the paltry sum
of few hundred dollars this build
ing is going to rack! Will our
people stand and gaze upon its tat
tered walls and watch, day by day,
the crumbling Of this magnificent
We believe not.
Since writing the above one of
the stockholders of the college in
forms Us that he viii donate his
stock towards repairing the build
ing. How many more will do as
