KINo COTTON STILL REIoNs.
Americas Greatest Single Contribution
to Modern Progress.


to Modern Progress.
The development OF the production
of cotton in the United States with
in a single century from insignificant
proportions to 100000 bales year.
considering all its relations to mod
ern industrial progress, is without q
parallel in history. The facts in this
case have led Mr.. d. A. Tompkins, an
eminent engineer, to write for the
Engineering Magazine review Of
"Cotton as Factor in Progress"
which contains many facts OF great
interest, which doubtless will prove
new to large number of readers.
Mr. Tompkins says in the conclusion
of his article;
The present industrial development
in America, in England and on the
continent had its beginning in four
events, the absence of any ono OF
which would have destroyed the
greater portion of the value of the
other three. These were the inven-
tion of the spindle. the inven-
ton of the power-loom, the invention
of the cotton-gin and the response to
these of the southern portion of the
United States in the production Of
the raw material for the utilization
of these inventions.
