Working the Wires.

A test of the new wire tie was madt
Yesterday morning by Col Duncan, al,
80 tar as he and the local cotton uien CAL
see it is going to be success. Col. Dun
can bad u bale of cotton specially put W
by D. Crawford & Sons just to make tris
of the wire ties. The bale is as neat anu
com pact as if il had been bound with tn.
flat tie, The bale was examined critically
by u mum Der OF the local cotton men and
all of them expressed satisfaction at The
result.
Said one OF them: III dontsee anything
to keep this tie from supplanting the olo
fiat tie. 1t is just as stroug, Keeps tn.
bale as compact. and in eyery OtheT re-
spect is just az good a. the Hat tie. Their.
is but one other test that he wire mus
be put TO and that is shipping. II il
stands shipping then 1t is uuulsputably d
success " One or TWO other buy yers who
were examining the bale acquiesed.
Col. Duncan said to q representative OF
the State: II have had this bale packeO
to demonstrate to the farmer that b
cheaper and equally as good q tie rs The
flat can be found in the wire. No thine
will be lost in fastening The wire, for
when thi, bale had the ties put on 1t took
only 20 uIiuu,es to remove the flat auu
put the wire in their place. That was
quick time, but when bale is in the
press the wire can be put on in fe"
minutes. We had to remove one set ano
put utanother in their place, and &c minutes
was a short time tor the cnange to be
made.
"Several cotton men have looked at this
bale carefully, and there has not been
one who does not say it is success. l
do not see any necessity for buckles
being used with the wire. It can be
twisted easily aud will hold fast. -"
Col. Duncan has shipped the bale to j..
B oloau d Sou at Charleston. He will
write letter soon TO be ublisheu in the
Cotton Plant, telling the different county
alliances of the test. He is well pleased
and the wire will be used.
Six ties of nun Der 10 wire, the size 1t il
proposed to use, weigh four pounds.
Counting it at three cents per pound, this
will be only II cents per bale. The flat
ties cost 80 GEMS per bale and weigh nine
pounds. The difference IN the cost is
readily seen.-Cotumbia Sutc, Aug. 6.

Lightning Toyed With Him.

Mr.. Barton Miller, who is employed
at the Barton Lumb Der Company, has just
passed through an experiment that would
have been enough tO irighten any ordi-
uary mortal cut oftive years growth and
bleach his hair as white as the purest
snow. Mr.. Miller, however, was neither
scared out of his growth or out of the
natural color of his hair. For the space
OF few seconds, however, he played with
one of tho surest instruments of death,
and can now afford to laugh at his past
danger. 1t was during last Mondays
thunder storm that Mr. Miller WAS picked
out as target by long streak ot blue
lightning. He was standing in his room
in Wentworth street, near Gadsden shaw
ing quietly, while the thunder roared and
the heavens flashed forth fire, He must
have bad no tear of the fire from the
heavenly artillery, f r while he was shaw
ing he stood near an open window III
draft that was special inducement f"r
stray streaks OF fire to pay him visit.
He had just removed the razor from his
face and was about to clean the blade
with a piece of paper when great, white
light blinded him and he was given sud-
den but not severe shock. The light
ming had spl the ST. el blade in his hand,
given him friendly shake and departed.
Mr.. Miller says that when the lightning
tore the razor from his hand he could seq
or realize nothing except great white
light The shock he received amounted
to nothing and it is probable that he was
so thankful for his escape from death that
he forgot to faint from fright.-NeVS and
