a New Cotton Picker.

A special to the Birmingham News
from Jacksop, Miss, says:
The first regular contract ever
made in the world to pick cotton by
machinery was closed in Greenville a
few days since, and the first expert
ment with the machine will be made
on plantation in Washington county
next fall. A Pittsburg man is the
inventor of the device and for the
past ten years has been conducting
experiments in the vicinity of Green
vile. He now claims that the device
has been nodded on practical work
ing basis and feels confident that he
will revolutionize the cotton picking
industry in the South. The machine,
he admits is valueless except on the
level uplands, low valleys and prairie
grounds, but even if it should prove
successful with this limit, its effect
on the labor question in the South
will be very marked.

The soEth's Opportunity.
Augusta Evening Herald.

Augusta Evening Herald.
For years and years the idea has
been growing in the South that the
United States should construct and
own the Nicaragua canal. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, has been the
conspicuous champion of this idea
in the Senate.
Along with the agitation Of the
canal and the trend of recent events
has come the question of great mer-
chant marine, ship subsidies, etc.
Expansion of foreign trade and the
opening of gateways Of the worlds
commerce through Southern ports is
the South's opportunity.
In our sister States the political
antagonisms OF McLaurin and Till
man bring out. this question for dis
cussiop, but unfortunately the issue
there is clouded with personali-
ties and fsctional politics to such an
extent that there is little hope Of Sc
curing an argument and decision on
the merits Of the case.
In the meantime the men of other
sections are taking up the question
for discussion and in a recent speech
Secretary Shaw struck a keynote
of militant patriotism that rings
strong and true. Among other things
the Secretary said:
"Gentlemep, we must have the
largest merchant feet ever kissed by
ocean breezes, and the carriers of in
ternational commerce must be built
of American yards by American Ia
Dor. They are to be manned by
American sailors, fred by American
coal, or more probably oil, and they
are to float the stars and stripes.
Whether this be accomplished by
government aid or through American
patriotism and American capital and
American energy. I cannot say.
Whether this consummation shall be
contributed to by statesmen or
achieved by Gnanciers is immeterial
compared with the great Importance
of the thing itself. American wealth.
plus Hawaii, which are ours, plus
the Isthmian canal, which we will
surely construct, plus a merchant
marine which We will surely build,
transfers the sovereignty of the Pa
cifc ocean from the Union Jack to
the Stars and Stripes"
Surely such a state of affairs
American ships carrying the worlds
commerce and that through the Mica
ragua canal, touching all South At
lantic ports must make indeed for
the South's opportunity.

m;nation of the Democratic senators
to attack the conduct of the army in
the Philippines has aroused the Re-
publicans, who intend to retaliate by
a series of speeches. Both sides
now have speeches in course of pre-

It is evident that the debate will
be long and bitter, and the bill can
hardly be disposed of before the first
of June. The prospect Of an early
adjournment is not fattering.
