MISCELLANEOUs.
The Cotton Picker,

1t has been said that the man who
makes two blades Of grass grow where
but one grew before is benefactor to
mankind: but far more benehcent is he
who enables the laborer to perform twice
the labor previously accomplished.
What, then, shall be said of Angus
Campbell, who built the Lone Star Cotton
Picker, which will do the work of twenty
men, and will enable the American cotton
planter to clothe the world and retain the
supremacy in furnishing cotton to the
looms of Europe, which India and Egypt
are striving to supplyf
The two prime necessities of the human
race are clothing and food. The names
of Campbell and Mccormick will be
linked together on the page of history
long after monuments of marble have
crumbled into dust. Four-hfths Of the
human race eat wheat Or kindred grains.
Mccormick with his harvester has enabled
the American farmer to feed starving
Europe, showering benefit on those who
harvested and sold, and ON those who
bought and ate wheat, not forgetting to
benefit himself, for he was sixteen times
millionaire, and all who have been asso-
ciated with him in the manufacture OF the
harvesters are living in afauence.
Four-ffths of the human race are clad
in cotton; Campbells invention will be
boon to the poorly clad and naked, and
will create wealth not alone for the inven-
tor, but for all who own shares in the
Lone Star Cotton-P Picker Co., to whom he
has assigned his invention, and there will
be enough for all. The cotton crop for
1890 was $685. 900 bales. There are 4oo,-
600 more bales in sight today than at
corresponding date last year, SO that the
crop of 'er can be fairly estimated at
100000 bales; this has cost $112, 100000
to pick. The Lone Star Cotton Picker is
capable Of doing the work for less than
$zo,ooo,ooo, and making an annual saving
of more than $eo,ooo,ooo. The Company
owning the patents on this king of labor
savers is capitalized at only five millions,
one-half of which was put In the treasury
and is now being sold for its benefit.
A full-sized working machine has been
and is now on exhibition at the Office of
the company, 81 Milk ST, Boston, where
shrewd investors are rapidly obtaining
stock, and enabling Themselves to share
in the profits to come.
