The Cotton Picker.

Nine million bales of cotton were raised
last year. One hundred millions Of days.
labor was required to pick it from the
stalks. Counting the value of each days
labor for full hand at 81, it represents
nearly one-third the entire value of the
cotton crop when marketed. This allows
nothing for ginning, baling, COMPRISING
and hauling to market. Toraise this crop
100000 acres of land were ploughed,
planted and cultivated. The men, women,
and children who have done this labor did
not get fair pay for it.
The rich cotton planters of before the
war have disappeared. The cotton plan
tiers of today are in chronic condition of
financial embarrassment; their crop is
mortgaged before it is planted. The bur-
den laid upon them is seemingly more than
men should bear. When the Israelites
were so sorely oppressed in Egypt, Moses
arose as their deliverer. Just so Angus
Campbell has come forward to deliver the
cotton planters from burden grievous to
be borne. The invention of the Lone
Star Cotton Picker will cause Hosannas
to be sung in million homes in the sun.

ished, better food eaten, and better cloth
ing worn.
Not entirely by philanthropic motives
has Campbell been governed. Like Bell,
Howe, Field and Met ormick, he will reap
his reward; it means millions of dollars to
him and his associates. Full particulars
can be learned of how to profit by it by

labor savers can be seen.

And the very next morning, when he
had settled himself in his study to
write long letter to Harry, he was
visited by no less a person than Mrs.
Evesham, who blushingly excused her
intrusion.

of years had elapsed after Ambrose S

''Twenty-one years, is it not?" Harry
asked.
81 think SO, sir. Well, they had their
own way in everything. Ambrose left
his home heart-broken, the old earl
passed miserable, spiritless ex-

boy, George, for whom he conceived an
inordinate affection. Thus two years
passed very miserably for all parties.
