A NEW GIN BRUSH
Solves the Problem of Ginning
Wet Cotton.
PREVENTS KNAPPINd EVERY TIME,
Does Not Cut the Fiber and Keeps the Saws
Always Clean no Matter What is
Condition of the Cotton.

SIS there any attachment on sale that viii
clean gin saws and prevent cumming and Still
not cut the fibre to pieces2''-OLD SUBSCRIBER
That question is asked dozen times
a day of every gin manufacturer dur
ing the season.
believe there is such an attachment
and / believe it will do the work and
do it well.
The old style bristle gin brush ha
remained practically the the same ever
since Whitney's first gin was made.
1t gives general satisfaction when the
cotton is thoroughly dry but has al
ways failed with wet and frost bitten
cotton. The reason for this am told
is because in wet cotton, the gum in
the seed and fiber being dissolved and
loosened caus the fiber to stick to the
saws and the bristle brush not having
sufficient lateral strength slides over
the cotton and leaves it in the saws.
That's plain reasoning think,
Now when the fl Der sticks to the
saws it is at once carried back into the
roll when the firm pressure of the roll
takes up parts of it and rolls it into
little tufts with the ends rolled togeth-
err like fine thread. This is called
"knapped cotton"
When such "kpapped cotton" goes to
the carding machine, these little tufts
cannot be carded out but are thrown
out in the waste and are dead loss to
the spinner. Of all the evils reducing
the value of cotton, this the worst one,
often times causing q red lction of 2
cents per pound ON bale ginned while
wet.
There is another point right here
Besides knapping the cotton, the saws
get gummed and filed so that the
teeth do not catch hold of the staple so
as to pull it from the seed and the sa VS.
only catching by the fine sharp points
of the teeth cuts the iber into shorter
pieces than the natural length. This is
called ''gin cut cotton" (Some timas
W 1en the cotton is very dry and brittle
gin cutting also occurs.
When the saw teeth fill up with
gum. the ginning is so slow and ruins

ges m at be made to clean the saws,
causing lest time for the ginner.
Now you see the ginner loses as well

ers, ginners and cotton planters.
A leather gin brush has been inven-
ted which will gin dry cotton as we'll
as the present bristle brush. The
leather is cut in peculiar way that has
been patented and is substituted for
the bristles.
Now what else will 1t dor
1t will gin the worst frost bitten cot
ton, green or wet 1ttnn Just as well as
if it was dry. Tue saws are x pit ab
solutely clean all the time and "knap-
ping" aud ''gin cutting" is prevented,
the ginner needs never to stop aad
clean saws but can run at full capacity
Will you let me prove it to you'll
you are interested
J W. Tresdwell OF Sparta, Gs., say
"vour gin brush will certainly control
wet tton. / had wet cotton that
bristle brush gin would not gin in any
way. Put it on the leather brush gin
and ginned it without stop and when
done, the saws were as clean as if no
cotton had been in the gin. It gins
faster and cleaner than bristle brush. I"

Don't w tie to me unless yo1 want q
gin brush that will do what 1 say and
do everything have said about it.
To introduce il, will put into one

If s, write to Peoples Party Paper
giving your name, address, number of
saws and make of gin. The same ice
to every gin. big or little-just SO it is
the first gin in the county to use this

and If you still want it-you can send
them the money-and will w ait until
you request them to turn it over to
