Rupture Cured without the Knife.

Rupture Cured Without the Knife.
In another column of our paper oul
readers will find the advertisement o.
DR.. 1. Mayer, Rupture Specialist, Of
the DR.. w. A. Levin Rupture Co., oil
st. Louis, Mo. Rupture is q disease
which mankind has been afflicted with
for ages, and for which no other rem
edy was known except that the man
submit to the use of the knife, which
in too many cases results fatally. or
else go around incapacitated for their
business. During the past few years
there have been made several dis
coveries in science and what but q
short time ago seemed to be an impos-
sibility has now been demonstrated as
an actual fact,and that is that Rupture
can be cured without the use OF the
surgeons knife. This has been fully
proven in our W city by such cures
as DR.. Mayer has effected in the past
ten months whilst visiting Mexico. It
is to be regretted that a great many
of those who have thus been cured
entertain notions of false modesty
about the publication of their names
in this connection; hence, it is an i'm
possibility for DR.. Mayer to publish al
the names of those whom he has cured
in this city. Rupture is a disease Of
which no one need be ashamed any
more than the breaking of a limb,
since it is generally caused by lifting
or falling or by any similar accident,
whilst the danger to life is much
greater. There are some of the doc
patients, however, who think /
that they should make public the great
benefit which mankind may derive
when under proper treatment. They !
have, therefore, set their names to
the statements published, which testi-
monials contain the facts in the case,
and are from such well known citizens |
rs Mr.. IL. Sims and Mr.. J. W. Young,
men who have lived in this county for
half century. There is no question
that DR.. Mayer is amply qualified to
cure rupture, and this he does without
the knife, without pain, without deten-
ton from business and without pay
cured. Surely with such oppor-
tunities no one need hesitate to be
cured. We cannot conceive anything
fairer that the doctor could offer to
those suffering with this malady than
when he says, 81 will. accept no fee
whatsoever-not even one cent-until
the patient is cured to his own satis-
iaction." DIR. Mayer comes to Mexico
every Thursday and can be found at

New Process for Baling Cotton.

Through the inventive genius Of one
George A. Lowry, machine has been
invented that seems destined to rcvo-
lutionize the cotton business. The
machine is simple piece Of mcchan-
ism that puts cotton in round bales
and while it is yet new and untricd
except by the experiment made by the
company. it is looked on favorably by
the cotton men who have seen it,
General Stephen NJ. Wells, president
of the Planters Compress Company,
Of Boston: was in the city yesterday
with bale Of the cotton baled by the
machine ami photographs of the ma
chine.
The machine, as pictured here, is
attached to the gin and as the cotton
is ginned it can be put right into tie
machine and baled before leaving the
sinhousc. The cost Of the machine is
something under $500 and it may be
run by the same power that runs the
gin. The bales made by this process
are round. and in size they are cigh
teen inches in diameter and forty-two
inches high, each bale weighing $50
pounds. The cotton is packed in
spirll layers, while It's density IS
forty four pounds 10 the cubic foot, as
agalnSta density Of twenty two pounds
to The cubic foot in the bales put up
by tl.c ordinary compress. II IS not
packed too tightly to be used as soon
is the bale is opened
In The other round bales the trouble
has been that the bales have been pat
around solid rod and while The cot
ton was loose on the outside Of the
baic, on the inside it is packed so
tight that it is perfectly hard This
machine leaves hole through the
center of the bale through which the
wires that hold the bale together arc

shows that. compared with the CORES
ponding movement Of 1895, Texas, in
Guiding Indian Territory has brought
into sight this season in round figures
25S. 1913 bales less, while other Gulf
States, which include Arkansas, Lou
isiana; Mississippi. Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma, have marketed
SO, ,626 more, and the group Of Allan
tic States, which includes North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Virginia, show an in
crease Of 362, l54. In other words, all
Of the States outside of Texas and
Indian Territory have increased over
the big crop year SS4.780, against
decrease for Texas and the Indian
Territory Of 25S, 1923, leaving net in
crease in the total Of crop marketed
622, ,9577.
Mr.. Hester shows the amount
brought into sight by groups of States
for. the five months of this season as
follows: Texas and Indian Territory
2,521 ,594 bales, an increase over same
time last year of 64S. $50, an increase
over year before last Of 926, ,541, and
decrease under 1895 of 25S, 1923. Other
Gulf States 2,8O9,972, an increase

run. The cotton goes in the top of
the machine very much like the meat
is put in a sausage machine and comes
out the lower end in roll ready to be
baled When the machine is per-
fccted it will take about five minutes
to make bale \ knife that works
automatically cuts the roll of cotton
off just the length Of the bale and in
five minutes more another bale is
ready. The greatest advantage of the
new kind O. bale is the facility that it
will give the farmer in handling his
crop. The bales are smaller, and be.
ing round in form are easier to han
die. Another great advantage is in
the shipping. The owners of the
process claim that twice as much cot
ton may be put in car when baled by
their process than when it is the ordi-
nary bales. The bales are encased in
cotton duck and held together by four
wires, all Of which weighs not over
two pounds. The cost Of covering a
bale is % cents. All together, it is
claimed that the saving on every bale
of cotton to all parties will be between
So and 81 per bale.
A company with capital of So, ,OO0,-
900 has been organized to manufac-
ture the machine and introduce it in
the country. 1t is proposed to organ
izc branch companies in each State
with local capital. The owners of the
machine say that they will have it
ready in time to handle all of the next
crop and that it will revolutionize the
cotton business.
This new process Of baling cotton is
known as the Lowry process, from the
name Of the inventor Mr.. George n.
Lowry. who invented the machine, is
the man who, some years ago, invent
ed a machine for taking the bristles
off hogs. He sold the invention to
the Armours for 500, .Wonfo

For the past twenty years econo-
mists predicted industrial develop
nents on scale that would surprise
the. world. Now we are realizing the
force of these predictions. The re-
cent strikes at New Bedford, Mass,
have awakened a feeling amongst all
manufacturers North and South that
to that section, where the raw matcri-
al grows and where all the conditions
are highly favorable. belongs the man
ufacturing Of cotton goods. This is
no longer mere theory or surmise,
but based on undeniable facts, that
here where mills are established are
superior advantages against serious
disadvantages in the East, the cotton
industry will prosper. What remains
to be done at this moment is to en-
ploy proper efforts in direction cal
culated to foster and encourage the
building of more mills. The question
then arises, how arc VIC to accomplish
these results? Our answer is, that
with such magnificent plant as late
ly completed by the Anderson Power
Company, and now under successful
operation, We should leave not a sin
gle stone unturned for the purpose of
securing more manufacturing enter
prises for our town, no matter whether
small or large. We can justly say
that no town in the entire cotton belt
possesses such advantages. All that
remains to be done is to make & strong
effort in the direction intimated, aud
our duty as citizens for the perpctua
tion of commercial and industrial SUI
prcmacy will be discharged. Ander-
son enjoys the reputation for wide
awake, progressive togn. let us con-
tinue to be in line with the forces
marching now towards building up
more cotton industries.
