WORTH FIFTY MILLION To
FARMERS.

An item printed in the New York
World few day ago will prove of vast
interest everywhere, but especially
IN the cotton belt. The article says:
Tt is probable that no single indus
trial invention of the nineteenth CEN
tury saved so much labor and produced
SO much wealth as Eli Whitney's cotton
gin. Thomas w. Prior, of Chicago
claims, however, to have invented q
new cotton gin, which, by passing the
cotton through rollers, will remove all
foreign substance without any break
ing or cutting of the fiber. It is said
to have double the capacity of the
Whitney gin and to be capable of add
ing from 1 to Il cents per pound to the
value of the cotton
son an average cotton crop this new
gin, if its inventor is not mistaken, will,
put $50, 900, 900 a year at least into the
pockets of our southern planters. Ell
Whitney, on whose big idea the ante.
bellum south made large part of its
wealth, made nothing for himself out
of it. His successors, If his gin is what
he claims, may fare better - If he es
capes lifelong patent suit"
If this is true, and the invention il
really all that Mr.. Prior claims, the
southern farmer will rise and call hin
blessed. However, 1t will not only in
crease the wealth of the south, but viii
stimulate commercial life of every par
of the globe.-Rome Tribune.

No improvements of any conse-

WHY BLIND TIGERS" FLoURIsH

There are Prohibitionists who can
not understand why 1t is that a pro-
hilton Law cannot be enforced They
seem to think ii ought to be an easy
matter to put q stop TO the sale of
whisky Illegally; that Is, there ought
to be no difficulty in suppressing what
are known as "blind tigers" which
flourish in prohibition counties. The
question of opening the saloons in the
city Of New York during certain hours
en- Sundays, on the ground that the
Law closing them is very generally vio-
lated, is now being discussed in that
city. There are those who want to
know why it is that the law cannot be
enforced. Answering these inquirers,
= writer in one of the daily papers says
one reason is that "the cussedness of
the customer asplres to procure the for
hidden fruit and another is that the
''saloon keeper is out after the profit
and let's in the one after the fruit"
SO. in the case of the ''blind tigers
in the prohibition countieF, the desire
for whisky is greater because it is for
hidden fruit, and because it is forbid
den the profit of selling it is greater,
and, hence, the desire of the dram
drinker and the cupidity of the dram,
seller combine and we have the ''bIlno
tiger. "-SaYannah News,
