The Mason Cotton Harvester at the Au
gusta Exposition.
TSpecisl to News and Courier

[Specisl to News and Courier
AUGUSTA, November 1.-THE Ma
son cotton harvester, which has been
anxiously looked for here for several
days, arrived to-day and was exhibited
in operation in field of cotton in the
Exposition grounds this afternoon, in
the presence of very large crowd of
interested spectators.
The machine gathered at the rate of
800 pounds an hour, or 5000 pounds
for an ordinary working day. The
bushes have been killed by frost and
and the cotton has been open in the
bolls about two months, but despite
these drawbacks the cotton which was
picked was ginned without being
passed through cleaner, and produced
good clean sample.
Mr.. Patrick Walsh, the president Of
the Exposition and the editor of the
Augusta Chronicle, was present during
the trial of the machine anG said: II
consider it most wonderful machine.
It picks the cotton under most adverse
circumstances without injuring the
plants and unripe bolls and it gathers
enough to make it an implement of
great valne."
The machine will be exhibited again
tomorrow and will probably remain
here until the Exposition closes.

o''. LAURESs, S. g., Nov
talk with Senator The Hon
hon,, morning and b - nc 1ioD'
ealF' the manyss0peka, Kansas, was
umoia our peern Hotel to-day. Mr..
lhfn the political "push" in
..nsas, having been State Senator
from Marshall County and State House
com missioner, and he is one of the best
advised and most active among the
political workers of the State.
"The Alliance" said Mr.. Smith, sis
done for in the State. The falling off
in the Alliance vote this year warrants
the assumption that it will never cast
as great vote again as this falls elec-
ton. The Alliance last year cast about
10000 votes. This year the poll was
less than 10000, and no less an author
ity than Ex-Presideut McGrath has
gloomily predicted further losses. The
Alliance is done for, and one of the
most remarkable things of the election
is that at the homes Of every one of the
Alliance Congressmen, and at the
home of the Alliance Senator, the vote
was overwhelmingly Republican"
Except at Jerry Simpsons home"
"That is mistake. Harper County
elected the Republican ticket, and
Jerry's peculiar eloquence failed to save
his party. I have seen the contrary
stated in the papers, but the fact is
Harper County was redeemed from
Alliance influence at this falls election.
1T is the judgment of leading citi-
zens of the state, irrespective Of party
that the joint discussion between J. r.
Aurton, of Adeline, and Senator w.
A. PETER, the Alliance champion, con-
tributed largely to the discontinue of
Of the Alliance. Mr.. Burton's argu-
ments will make him the next Con-
gresham at large from Kansas"
Asked about the effect and the future
possibilities arising from the union OF
Democrats and Republicans this fall to
down the Alliance, Mr. Smith said:
''Too much credit cannot be given the
Democrats and Republicans alike for
joining hands in the several judicial
districts to wipe out the stain on the
integrity of the people of Kansas which
the Alliance had sought by misrepre-
sentation to attack. The Democrats
and Republicans buried all party hos
tili'y and prejudice land they have !
been greater in Kansas than any other
State) and harmoniously worked for
the election of a Republican candidate
for Judge in one district, and Demo
crat in another. The object was to
preserve the judiciary from the crank
ism of the Alliance, it having been
proven that it was materially injurious |
to the State in the purely political de-
partments. The Democrats and Re
publicans succeeded in electing all the
judiciary candidates.
''It is fact that the Democrats and |
won in the victory over
the Alliance, because, however antag1
onistic they have been in the past, the
Democrats and Republicans of Kansas
are, above all things, loyal to their
state"

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE contest
for the speakership OF the House OF
Representative will. begin in earnest
here in about ten day The Demo-
Gratis will open their headquarters here
then, and an active canvass will be
made until the opening of Congress. A
large number of members Will come to
Washington unpledged to support sny
particular candidate, and their nom

Apparently the struggle will be be-
tween Messrs. Mills and Crisp with Mr..
Mcmillan close third. Mr.. Mcmillan,
it is claimed, will draw chiefly from
~, Mills, and the longer he stays in
the fight, the more injury will be done
to the Texan. Uncertainty surrounds
the respective strength of Messrs.
Springer, Hatch and Bynum.
Gen. Clark, of Missouri. and ex-Rep-
resentative Kerr, of Pennsylvania, are
candidates for the clerkship, while ex-

a crowd as on
exhibits ~ IA report OF the
--..y near the Western Union
,,lon has been received by General
.dfs.5ager Earling, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railroad, which
states that the safes had been recovered
and that the robbers did not get any
booty. The report says six men board
ed train No at the Western Union
Junction, sixty-two miles north OF
Chicago, at II p. M, and it is supposed
the robbers reached the junction over
the Northwestern Road. They held
up the engineer and fireman, and when
the train reached Franksville, a small
station of two bundled or three hun
dred inhabitants, about three miles be-
yond the 'nnction, they caused the
engineer .-op it at the point of re-
volvers. .'nen they demanded Of the
express messenger that he open the
door to the car, which he refused to do.
The conductor came up by this time
and he was taken prisoner. The rob-
bers then broke in the window Of the
car and threw in some kind OF eXplo-
sire, which forced out the end of the
ear. They then went inside and cover
ed the express messenger with a re-
5volver and tried to make him open the
safes. This be positively refused to do,
and the safes were thrown out OF the
car.
In the mean time the rear brakeman
understanding the situation rushed
back to the junction and got help and
an engine and posse at once went to
the scene and the robbers fed. The
train went on to Milwaukee and the
fast mail train which leaves Chicago at
8 O'Clock a. m. picked up the safes and
carried them to Milwaukee. The
police of Milwaukee and the secret SER
vice of the system, together with the
sheriff of Racine couty, were sent ln
pursuit of the robbers. Their flight
was so hasty that they did not take the
precautions they had evidently In
tended to take, so that the officials be-
lieve they will get them before noon
to-day.
