On Montgomery County PlantatIon It Hss Demonstrated Its Eaciency-- wim Be Ready For Market
 Soon.

George A. Lowery. the man who made the Lowery round bale possible. has invented a cotton picker, which actually picks cotton. On a Mont gomery County plantation 1t has met every practical test, to which 1t has been subjected by the question of in- vestigators, doubters and critics.
 If it meets the greater test, the test of endurance, the test of 8 long and usefu. life. Mir. Lowery's invention is to the agricultural South the greatest invention since Eli Whitney built his first cotton gin. So many failures have been achieved in the attempts to build cotton picker, that Mir. Lowery's in- vention has been subjected to the clos- est scrutiny and criticism, for the av- craze Southern planter has always ap- preached 1t with doubt and suspicion. But they went away satisfied. Some of the greatest doubters have become the machines staunchest friends.
