GEORGIA AND FLORIDA


Moultrie News: Messrs. John Carl
ton, H. L. Harrell and w. B. Dukes
have applied for patent for a cotton
chopper. The blue print of the inven-
tion shows that it has one wheel, like
a wheelbarrow, which is geared to two
choppers-one on each side. These
choppers may be taken off and cotton
planters put in their place. This in
sures that the rows will be where the
choppers will reach the cotton. Mr..
Carlton claims that it will work on all
kinds of land, stumpy and otherwise,
and that one small mule can pull it
through ten acres per day. These gen.
tlemen have been offered $4,000 for
their right by a party in Washington,
D. c., which they promptly refused.
They are now considering a proposition
of 100000 which they will likely re-
fuse, believing it is worth very much
more.
