fessed leader of the faction against
Kendall is a man of very little general
ship, it will probably prove disastrous
to the republicans. Under the present
condition of affairs it is probable that
the prospects of Marshall county to get

believe the chances for election of their

ever these things may be, there Is no

MAKING HATS BY MAC HINE.
A Work in Which Women Inventors
Have Been Prominent.

Among the inventions of women on
exhibition at Atlanta is one interest
ing for two reasons, says the New York
Times. The first that it dates from 3
period before women were accounted
active in any but the domestic world
and the second that it deals with a de-
partment of industry into which wom-
en- always venture at the risk of being
suspected of scant knowledge and less
experience-thato of mechanics.
This is the straw-sewing machine
which is entered by the committee or
inventions by permission of its in
ventor, Mrs. Mary p. Carpenter Hooper
of New York. Although its patent has
now expired, and it's usefulness in part
done away with, this little machine
not so big as a typewriter, worked a
revolution in a great industry, and to-
day there is not an inch of straw braid
sewed into hats by machinery any
where that does not employ a part OF
Mrs. Hooper's invention to accomplish
the work.
Mrs. Hooper is the daughter of for
mer New York lawyer, whose fingers
itched with inventive skill, while he
kept them bound by the red tape of his
profession, so the source of Mrs. Hoop
er's inventive faculty is not hard &c
find. It was while she was still Miss
Carpenter that she learned through
friends of the curious state of affairs
in the straw sewing trade.
Up to that time, 1871, there had been
but one practical straw-sewing ma
chine invented, which machine was
controlled and used by combination
of three or four firms engaged in the
manufacture of straw hats and bonnets
1t was called the Bosworth machine
and was immensely valuable. although
the operator had to be expert before
she could make a hat, as the sewing
had to be done backward, from the
brim to the crown, and when done the
hat was wrong side out--a condition
which often resulted in breaking the
straw while it was being turned right
AS Miss Carpenter had shown herself
possessed of pronounced inventive skill
of which the patent office already bore
record, these facts were pointed out
to her by some of the leading manu-
facturers, who were obliged TO sew al
their straw goods by hand, and she
was encouraged to make O new ma
chine which could be generally used
In 1872 she received patent for hel
first model of a machine, but it was
not satisfactory to herself and no Sec
ond machine was built from it. A Sec
ond attempt a year or two later did
not yet fulfill all the requirements she
strove for, but in June, 1875, Miss Car
penter completed machine that could
make q hat from it9 tip or top to the
outer edge of the brim without taking
it from the machine. and when 1t was
finished it was right side out and did
not have to be turned, and, moreover
concealed the sttch-a result hereto
fore unaccomplished.
