The Champion Cotton Picker.

Mr.. w. T. Giles, Of the West
Springs section Of Union county, on
September both picked 416 pounds
of cotton from sunrise until sundown,
and on Monday, Oct. Bird, he picked
E1O pounds in same number Of hours.
The cotton was picked clean and free
from burs or trash. The field or
patch Of 24 acres that Mr.. Giles
picked this cotton belongs to Mr.. w.
J. Betsill and had been well worked
and fertilized. From this parcel of
land Mr.. Betsill has already gathered
1852 pounds Of seed cotton, and
there is still about 1000 pounds yet
to gather. The most remarkable
thing in connection with Mr.. Giles
record breaking cotton picking, IL
that he has been working in the gold
mine all of this year and this was hit
first work on the farm, Shit
year, therefore the more wonderful
his swiftness In picking.

Tuesday night between 3 and 9 O'Clock
the barn aud contents, belonging to Mr..
William r. Walker, in the north cast
part of this city was burned. The barn
was filled with new mown hay, princi-
pally peavines. There was also large
lot Of oats. wagon, buggy, phaeton, har-
ness, wagon gears, plOw stocks and
other farm tools lost In the fire. Fortu-
nately there was no live stock burned
except two small calves. The horse was
taken out of the stable and thus escaped.
No certain cause or origin of the fire is
obtainable. 1t is possible, and we may
say highly probable, that the cause of
the fire was spontaneous combustion, as
the fire caught aud was first seen in the
top next to the roof. This barn, as we
say above, was packed full of new hay,
the larger part Of which were peavines
or peavine hay.
