COTTON PICKING BY MACHINERY.
A Successful Test of Mr. Angus Compbells
Machine Described.

Recently an Associated Press dispatch
that Will pick cotton. The inventor OF
tho machine, Mr.. Angus Campbell, and
Mr.. +. r. Martin, who puts III the
money, have signed a contract for five
machines to pick 1000 acres of cotton in
the Delta next Fall. In a letter to the
Manufacturers Record Mr.. J. S. Weiss.
of G~reenville, Miss, writes:
Il have watched very closely for the
past five years the cottOn-p picking ma
chine patented by Mr.. Angus Campbell,
which is owned and operated by the
American Cotton Picking Company Of
Pittsburg, Pa.
Il am perfectly satisfied, beyond any
question of a doubt. that Mr.. Campbell
has solved the question of picking cot
ton with his machine. and it does wen
better work than is claimed for it.
ION the 18th day of last October I saw
the machine in operation at Colonel Nor
gan's place at S~hepardtown, Lefore
county, Mississippi. and saw the ma
chine pick 93.7 per cent Of cotton that
was open on the row, without destroying
the leaves, bolls or stalks in any shape
or manner / have also seen the ma
chine at work before frost, never a green
leaf, boil. bloom or square being hurt.
cone could not tell that the machine
had been in the field, excepting that the
lint was missing. Strange as it NAV
seem, the machine only takes the lint,
but of course if there happens to be q
piece Of a dead leaf on an open boil It
takes it along just as one does picking
by hand, which, of course, is cleaned
| before the cotton is ginned.
I think I am safe IN saying that the
farmers of this great Delta only harvest
ed about . per cent Of their crop this
season, and l think it is a question of 3
very short time when Mr.. Campbell viii
have his machine at a point where he
will get 100 per cent.
"As 7 before stated that the machine
! picked 93.7 per cent. however. the otanr
So per cent does not go to waste. as
planter can gather it if he SO chooses.
4 don't think the machine Will work
in very nilly land, but it dos the work
to perfection in fiat and low lands.
'"The machine will pick 1T least three
bales per day, and has already picked
/ as high as five. Every planter with
whom I have talked and who has seen
the machine work is more than pleased
! with It.
I'm my estimation the cotton farmers
of the South are about to receive their
| as. to my mind. the question has been
solved regarding the harvesting of cot
ton"

would make the very hill tops Of Heaven
echo with rnverberations of everlasting
gratitude. If anything could make their
rest sWeeter and more beautiful it would
be made so by such beautiful evidences
Of devoted remembrance. To US there
is nothing which seems more eloquent
than the language these flowers speak
from their mute lips. for they have the
dialect OF the heart, and disclose in
their own sweet vernacular. the witch
cry of a meaning that tongu can never
syllable. And when we see them spread
upon a grave there is . tenderer touch
Of sympathy, a sweeter fragrance of
affection and a brighter hue Of devotion
than wealth and power could eyer give,
fer they are the genuine expression Of
heart trouble, and it is the heart which
erccts the strongest and grandest monu-
mcnts. The marble, by its resistiye
power, may stand in the sunshine and
in the storm. but it is cold and hard
and dumb and passionless: its mute.
closed lips breathe TO prayers for the
dead, it sheds no tears of sorrow, it sings
no songs of directorate remembrance.
But fCWerS-thase sweet and precious
angel thoughts-reVeal the dreams of the
heart, and scatter forth those doors of
affection which will live IN the unending
summer of their own eternity of bloom
and beauty and freshness and fragrance.
And such annual demonstrations as these
are the sweetest and purest testimonials
Of regard for the dead that were ever
made, for in these heart throbs which
send forth these fragrant messengers TO
report the eternity of the deathless mem
cries which are pulsing within, there is
read an elOquence of meaning deeper
than languages plummet ever sounded,
for they translate q devotion as con-
slant and as sweet as the murnur of
d~eW-bathed zephyrs when whispering
love to the vioIets."

and beautiful tribute to the Confederate
soldiers who sleep in honored raves.
