THE COTTON PICKER
WILL BE ROBBED OF HIS JOB
 BY PICKING MACHINE.
Pennsylvania Man Has Perfected a Machine That Will Pick Five Bales of Cotton
 per Day.

Atlanta, Ga, May 5.-Thomas k. Morris, treasurer of the American Cotton Picker Com pany. of Pittsburg, Pa, passed through Atlanta yesterday on his way north, after having complet- ed arrangements for putting the cotton plckers, now being manu- factured by the company, into practical operation during the coming season.
 The cotton picker manufaotu- red by ths company is the same that was on exhibition Tn Atlanta during the exposition of 1895, though 1t has since been perfect cd, and 1t is said will now do the work required of it. The inven- tor Angus Cambell, has spent sixteen years perfecting the machine and 1t Was only last year that it was brought to such state os perfection that 1t coald be put to practical use.
 The first of these new cotton pickers to be brought south will Ee put in practical operation at Greenville. Miss. Contracts havo been made for working several of them there. The company does not sell or lease them, but makes d contract with the cotton planter by which he is to furnish four mules Cor each picker and d farm hany to operate 1t, the company paying 90 cents per day each for the mules, and the value of the farm hands labor. Then the planters pay the company 40 cents per hundred pounds for picking the cotton.
 WHAT MR. MORRIS SAYS,
 We have made contracts tor the working of five of these mach, ines in the noigbborhood of Greenville, Miss" Mr. Morris said yesterday, "and will have them on hand ready to dc the work as soon as the crop is ready,
 "The machine will not pick all of the cotton but we give guar antee that it will pick 90 per cent without any injury to the plant. Each machine will pick five bales d day. We will not sell or lease the machines, but they will be operated under contract as 1 have explained. We are satisfied we have solved the question of pick ing cotton by machinery, and 1 believe it will be great thing for the south"

RAISE OUR OWN BEEF
THAT IS WHAT THE SOUTH
 OUGHT TO ALWAYS DO
Not Only That But We Could Raise a Little Surplus For Northern Markets
 Very Easily.

The following from the Atlanta Constitution contains much good sense Tn regard to cattle raising in the South and is as applicable to Arkansas as any state i'll the Union.
 Taking occasion by the prevail ing high price of beef the Phil adtlphia Press remarks that "the south has deprived itself of q large source of revenue by failing to introduce the breeding of cat tie, and names several good reasons why that industry amoug us should not be lost sight of.
 The Constitution has always urged the same policy upon the people of the south and only re- gently pointed out Low millions of acres of pasture and grazing lands in our South Atlantic states could De 50 employed with enor- mous profit. In southwest Flr- ginia today so:ne of the finest cat lle Tn the world are raised and shipped through Norfolk to Europe to supply a select trade that never bubbles about pliees. Here in Georgia careful breeding and care in raising wall produce beef cattle that will take blue ribbon i'll any food market of civilization. Our climate gives Us advantages over the western ranges thpt, added to the sholt hauls and low transportation costs, should give Us larger re- turns upon the average run of cattle for home and foreign con sumption than the western raised can command.
 It has been shown that Georgia, foI instance, only raises about l2 per cent of the beet that her peo- pie annually consume and even less percentage of other meats. As the Philadelphia Press points out, our civilization Is changing with the increase of our factories end fouudries, and the consequent increase of Il meat-eating popula- tion. We will use mole meats as these non-rural employments in- crease and we must either pro- duce 1t or buy 1t of the western raiser at prices fixed by him, or by the trust that may have him ln it's grip
 Besides, the general raising of cattle i'll the south will make it q store house of supply to keep competition active between the south and the west in that line of products and it will give country employment to many thousands of negroes who are now steadily drifting from the fields to the purlleus of our cities.
 We are thoroughly convinced that we should have great reylyal of cattle, sheep and hog raising Ill the hills aud plains of the great south.

ahue, now in session in the Capital
City, handed down a decision in
the suit brought by the National
Tube company of Pittsburg, other
wise known as the Pipe trust,
against the Eastern Tube company
Of GAINESVILLE which is national in
it's import and one of the most
sweeping Of it's kind ever rendered
by higher court.
After the consolidation the tube
company opened an independent
plant and secured some of the
skilled employees Of the Pittsburg
company. In the course Of their
employment they devised and had
manufactured tubes and pipes sim
liar in construction to those made
by the trust, the castings, it is
claimed being exact duplicates.
The trust enjoinsd the GAINESVILLE
company from making these cast
ings claiming that the models were
trade secrets and their sole prop
erty.
The evidence showed that the
models for the castings could be
made by the men without reference
to the originals.
The court in passing on the case
ruled that the work done was the
result of the intelligence Of the
men, and as they could make the
models without copying or imitat-
ing an injunction would not lie. In
substance the court ruled that
mans intelligence cannot be con-
strued as a trade secret and the
injunction was dissolved.
Appeal has been taken to the
Supreme Court.

The Thirty-Sixth q. A. K. Encamp-
ment.

The seth Annual Encampment
Of the G. A. r. Department of Ohio
was held at Lancaster last week,
and was the grandest and most
successful one ever held.
Lancaster outshown any former
town in the way of decoration and
entertainment. Several thousand
dollars were spent in decorations
alone. The old city, the birth
place of "Old Billy Sherman, was
wrapped and wreathed in the red,
white and blue. The electrical
and gas displays were grand. The
many thousands of visitors were
fed and cared for, and 1900 places
were not taken up, where enter
tainment was provided, notwith-
standing the report in the papers
that Lancaster could not care for
them. The old soldiers were Law
ish in their praises. Many returned
to their homes for the night, on
late trains, but it was not because
there was not room in the city.
Lancaster took care of the largest
crowd ever in the city, and did it
handsomely.
Marietta and Washington G. H.
were rivals for the next encamp-
ment, and Marietta carried off the
prize,
Walton Weber, of Columbus, was
elected Department Commander.
Too much can not be said to the
credit Of the Lancaster people, the
press, the several committees and
organizations for their courtesy.
The gates of the city were thrown
wide open, and Mayor Silbaugh
gave the keys to the visitors, and
told them to go where and when
they pleased.
Every body in the city, without
regard to race, color or previous
conditions, We'd with each other as
to who could do the most for the
sold Boys of 61-5."
All glory and credit to the old
city, the home of some of the great
est statesmen and generals of tho
Uuited States.
The grand parade was witnessed
by at least 10000 people, and not
a hitch, nor an accident.
