AS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
Some of the Odd Reasons That Are AS

1.-The Chicago man who recently applied

friends directs attention again to some
of the odd facts in connection with the

grounds for divorce have been interpreted

Bachelors Do Not Count for Much
Among Savages.
From the ChicagO Chronicle.

Savage nan is. almost everywhere, a
marrying man. Often he is a much mar

maids and old bachelors are rare in all
savage and barbarous communities The
rule is to marry early and sometimes also
TO marry often. Here is one point of differ
ence and notable one between unciviiized
and civilized societies. In the second vol
ume of his History of European Morals

Machinery Improvement.

( Mr.. D. James Vim, Of Sumter, S.
C., has invented and patented a new
cotton opener and cleaner to be attach
cd to the regular openers and pickers
now used in cotton mllls.
The purpose Of the invention is to
take out the fine dust, dirt, specks and
fine notes as well as the heavy dirt
which the opener and picker now takes
out. By means of Mr.. Winn's I'M
provement the picker is made to DO
the bulk of the cleaGing work hereto
fore done by the cards. Therefore.
the relief to the cards will be very
great and they will do more and bet
ter work.
N[r. Wiun's improvement consists In
substituting a perforated sheet metal
bottom in place of the grid underneath
the ,beaters and perforated top over
the beaters. allowing the air to come
in ON top Of the beaters and closing all
openings underneath the picker ma
chimes, thus making dead air space
under the beaters. which allows the
lighter stuff to fall through.
The slotted openings in the sheet
| metal bottom prevents she cotton from
dropping through.
This device has been in successful
operation for one and a-balf years.
EzTbe advantage of the improvement is
that in coarse jeans about 40 per cent.
of card strippings may be-successfully
used and in all yarns it makes bette.
| production and smoother yarn. The
card is more easily kept sharp because
of the absence of dirt.
MIR. Winn is now in Charlotte and is

pany, where the attachments are be-
