Before the end of a year the lawyer
was Informed By the president of the
road that the new sign had saved
many times its cost. And the point
am especially desirous of making in
regard to this sign is it's immense
value to men and women generally, not
only in the matter Of saving life and
limb, but in the higher sense of get
ting out of life all there is in it.
Stop, look and listen.

The Old Way is Best.

A Springfield school teacher, says
the st. Louis Dispatch, received the
following note from the mother of one
OF her pupils on Monday:
Dear Mis-, you writ me about whip
ping Sammy. | hereby give you per-
mission to beet him up eny time it is
necessary to learn him lessons. He is
juste like his father-you have to
learn him with club. Pound nolege
into him. want him to git it, and
don't pay no attention TO what his
father says. I'll handle him"

Three Valuable Words.

1t has been said on good authority
that the highest price ever paid for q
writing was given lawyer in this i'm
mediate vicinity. A certain railroad
company had lost enormous sums of
money through damage suits institu-
ted by those injured in grade crossing
accidents. This company had been
most particular in the matter of erect
ing signs at each crossing, but jury
after jury decided that they were of
small moment, since the warning they
conveyed was to lookout for the
cars" or "lookout for the engine" and
in almost every instance it was
conclusively proved that the damage
was caused by that part of the train
not mentioned! So in desperation the
railroad commissioned a lawyer Of
wide repute to compose s'sn that
would "hold' in court. After some
days the following sentence, written
on large sheet of paper, came from
the man learned in the Jaw:
'Stop, look an1 listen
Following this came bill for SlO,-

tongued individual boasting about the

surprising sum paid Richard Harding

COTTON PICKER.
Atlanta journal,

ing the entire fall. OF the twenty
nine cloths, twenty eight were disap-
pointnents. Some would take the
cotton and would not turn it loose.
Others would take the leaves, and
there was first one defect and then
another to be overcome. Finally The
twenty ninth cloth was just what was
needed.
when we had overcome this trou-
blesome feature, we next turned our
attention to the power for propolling
the machine. Our experimental ma
chine had been drawn by horses and
we fought hard against putting an en-
gine on the machine. I was anxious
to perfect machine which would be
the cheapest machine possible to do
the work, and in adding a motor the
cost Of the machine vas necessarily
increased. The great and insur-
mountable diff guilty about the horse
power was thai when tho forward mo-
tion of the machine stopped, the pick
er arm also stopped. This disadvan-
tage was felt when the machine came
to place where the cotton was open
very thick on the stalks and the
picker arm could not be applied to
every boil unless the machine came to
stand still. The result was that we
had to build machine which runs
itself AID on which the picker arm
maintains a regular speed irrespeo-
tive of the speed with which the ma
chine is travelling, or if it comes to
stsndstill.
"That the machine is success
there is no doubt. Undertaking
to invent machine which would re.
duce the cotton picking labor by half,
the machine as now perfected will
divide tho labor by four. The ma
chine carries four negroes who operate
the picker arms and driver. With
these four negroes it is now picking
$500 pounds of cotton, about the
work OF twenty average cotton pickers
at this season Of the year. These
negroes sit on comfortable seats and
apply the nicely balanced picker arms
to the open bolls. The cotton is
caught on the card cloth from which
it is brushed off by doffer wheel"
When asked at what cost the ma
chine could be placed on>the market
Mr.. Lowry said that he was unable to
say, for they did not yet know what
the shop cost of the machine would
be. The experiments which he has
made on the machine in perfeoting it
have been expensive. It has coat
him more than $50, ZOO to make the
machine which he is now operating
successfully in Dougherty County cot
ton fields.
Every practical farmer WHO has
seen the machine, however much of a
doubling Thomas he may have been,
has left the field In which it was at
work thoroughly convinced that q
great labor-saving machine had been
perfected. One farmer said yester-
day that the greatest difficulty the
farmers had to contend with in this
section was the labor required to
gather cotton. It is not o question Of
how much cotton the farmer can plant
and cultivate, but how much he can
pick out. With the Lowry cotton
picking machine to aid in this inapor-
,tant time in the farmers calendar,
the cotton planter can be independent
of the 'town bigger" cotton rickes
and market ALI his cotton with no
other laborers than those who pro-
duced it. 4

Joseph Hcitger, the university student
and young athlete, walks the streets

In the meantime the Pinkerton de-

No arrest, they say, will be made until
that is accomplished. Such circum-

collected they regard as insufficient
ground for all Indictment.
This policy of delay makes radi-

part of the men charged with solving
the mystery. The change was made
