ty and secure @ report of the guam
tity OF cotton ginned up to certain
dates. In undertaking the frequent
and hurried reports now sought, it
is OF vital Importance that the re-
turns be made with absolute unifor-
nifty, and that all be received at
Washington at one time. This re-
suit could not be expected from in
dlyldual requests made by mail Of
30, 700 ginners, at time when they
are engrossed in their ginning work
Furthermore, the Census Office must
be kept advised Of all changes IN
the management and operation Of
these establishments, and secure re-
turns from all new and revived
plants. To accomplish such results,
it becomes necessary for the office to
have local representatives who shall
be charged with the duty Of keep
ing in close touch with the ginning
industry in each COUNTY, an CT prompt
ly reporting the quantity Of cotton
glnned.
The statistics for the October report
will be collected during the week be-
ginning with Monday, October 2o,and
ginner5 should keep such records as
will enable them TO furnish promptly
the required information. These re-
turns will be tabulated, and the re-
suit published within one week from
their receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected through
the commercial system, however ac-
curately complied fall short of the de-
Ilnand of beth producer and manufac-
tUrer first, IN that as they cover the
lquant1ty Ct cotton marketed between
lSeptember Of one year and August

year; and second in the liability to

ports, mado sufficiently early to form
a basis for prices, will entirely salts

1t is gratifying to know that the south
has tho assistance and cooperation Of
the government in bringing about the
result they desire-an undertaking
the success of which now depends up
on the cotton growers and ginners
themselves.

QUICK REPORTS ON COTTON
]. A. Morris Appointed Special Agent
for this County.

j. A. Morris, G. Brandon, has been
appointd local special agent OF the
Census Office to collect cotton ginning
statistics for this county, and we join
the government in urging the ginners
TO give Mr. Mollia their hearty sup
port and cooperation, thus enabling
him to make prompt and accurate re-
turns. We wodld impress upon the
ginners the fact that this agent is a
sworn officer Of the government, and
that their reports are forw arded as
given to him -direc5lv to the Census
Office, st Washington without passing
through The hands Of any lniddlemen.
The Information given is held strictly
confidential, and the perations of
individual gtnpess are not to Be div
ulged. Upon tue joint cooperation
of the cotton gro"ers, ginners, and
local agents must denend the success
OF the Census Office ia this inquiry,
and its ability to render this great SER
vice to the southern people and TO all
Interested in the cotton staple.
The Census Office has demonstrated
in three cnnual reports, the fact that
the ginn6rs are tho oply reliable
source Of Information as to tho vol
ume OF the annual cotton crop. This
is very complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel o pride in
sustaining the roI Iutation earned.
III recognition Of this interest shown
by the ginners, and of general de-
mand for moro frequeut reports
through this source, congress, in the
act creating a permanent census office,
provided for the collection aud publ
cation of these statistics st intervals
during the ginning season For the
crop OF 1902 the Office will issue three
reports: tho first two will cover the
quantity OF cottoa ginned up to and
including October IS and December 13,
respectively; and the final report will
cover the total quantity ginned from
the growth Of 1902.
Realizing that tho collection Of the
date for these reports is made at a sea-
son when the ginner5' time is greatly
taxed, and approaching the necessity
for pronrt returns, the Census OiRce

SPEED FOR STEAMERS
1T WILL BE SECURED BY THE NEW
STYLE OF PROPELLER.

A brunswick Man Patents n Re-
markabIe Invention-A Description
of It-What Suggested 1t to Him.
The Company Which Has Control
of t-Other Matters Connected
With 1t of General Interest.
Brunswick, July 26.-After negotia-
tons covering a period of eighteen
months, there has just been closed
here a contract between the Morse
Iron Works and Dry Dock Company of
tleteld, Jr., bookkeeper for the Hilton
Dodge Lumber Company, through
which the propelling of steam vessels
the world over promises to be revol-
tonized, in the way of getting in
creased speed. This promises to come
about through the invention by Mr..
Llttlef1eld of a propeller, the blades of
which are based on new lines, and
Which he had patented in 1899, but
which he has not placed on the mar
Ket due to the fact that the patent has
oeen under investigation for many
months, while propeller wheels made
on the lines of the model furnished by
MT. Littlefield have been on vessels
OF all sizes undergoing the most rig
orous test. The elimination of these
many months of waiting and testing
mas resulted SO favorably to the
brunswick mans invention that he
mas refused a cash offer that was
enormous, but had to be refused be-
cause n 70 h &c dealings with
the Morse people had gone too far,
and he will get his money in per-
petual royalties form them.
10 illustrate in a measure what
ms means, the Cramps stated, when
me matter was laid before them: IL
mat wheel will do what is claimed
Ior 1t in the way of increasing the
speed of vessels, the patent is worth
millions of dollars
Inns statement was made to Col. Il.
- Machen, of the Brunswick and Biz
IHhgham Railroad, who presented the
matter to the Cramps, but it was dur
ing the period of the Spanish-American
war and the Cramps could not take
shlps out, attach wheels and test them,
tor months at a time, and all the time,
as ther wanted to do before investing
al the patent, for the reason that their
YARDS and docks were then overburden-
ed with orders.
Mr. Littlefield continued his efforts to
interest shipbuilders, and some eight
months ago induced the Morse peo-
~ nle 10 take it up, with the result that
= iiey nave contracted with Mr.. Little
ssIu Tor the exclusive right to manu-
racture; they pay all expenses, and
pay him a royalty on the gross re-
,eelpts. In addition to the fact that

s seer wheel patent, they are now ne

excursion boat, and he gives an in
teresting account of it.
1t seems that Mr.. Littlefield was sit
ting in the bow of the excursion steam
er, watching the porpoise swimming
ahead. It occurred to him then that
the fastest swimming fish in the sea
(of which the porpoise is one species)-
the fish that prey on the others of the
tribe, always have the largest part of
their tail (Which is their propeller).
nearest the body. Why then could not
this principle be applied to a propeller
wheel, and thus produce greater speed
to the vessel carrying it? For instance
let propeller wheel be made with the
largest part of the blades nearest the
shaft (the propeller's body. Was it
not reasonable to presume that the
speed of the ship it was attached to
would be greater?
For year or more he worked on
this idea, and finally built a model
which concurred with his views. Then
he had one wheel manufactured. and
after much delay secured the privilege
of placing it on the steam yacht of the
Jekyl Island Club. The result justified
his ideas. and from that time on he
worked day and night to perfect his
plans and get capital to back him. The
patent was finally secured, and then
came months of patient but never ceas-
ing toll to get someone to help in put
ting up money enough to test it. Not
less than $4,000 was required to test
it thoroughly for all sizes of ships had
to be taken out of the water. wheels
to fit them be placed on, delays to YES
sells while this was going on to be paid
for, and other expenses incidental to
this, to be met. The Morse people saw
the opportunity, and seized it, and
after one year and a half of the most
thorough test, they have closed for the
exclusive privilege of manufacturing It
in this country, while Mr.. Littlefield
now has a representative in Great
Britain comforting with the shipbuild-
ing industries there for its use on ves-
sells in the waters of the United King
dom.
This in brief is the story of what
one mans brains has done, and the
financial results to him can hardly be
oVerestimated.

Whereas, in the death of Logan
Neeson this Sunday School has
lost a beloved pupil, and as it is
right that we should make suitable
recognition of the same, therefore
be it resolved by the Methodist

That while we deplore our great
loss we bow in humble submission
to the will of Him who doeth all
things well.
That we tender the bereaved
ones our heartfelt sympathy in
this, their time of great grief.
