NOT THE PLANTATIONS.

Trans-Pacific Trade makes the mis-
take of identifying sugar plantations
with baronial estates. The term has
no reference to plantations, which are
corporate producers. Kauai presents a
spectacle of some baronial estates iq
which sugar cuts a very small figure
and grazing is the chief industry. There
are such estates on every island of
the group; some containing immense
areas of absolutely unused land, with
held from settlement for no defensible
purpose.

than a house full of hand-picked cot
ton which we examined
From the inventors and promoters
we are told the machine will gather
from 8 to q bales day and in cotton
in the first part of the season, it will
pick the cotton from the boil as
cleanly as hand picked cotton.
Messrs Whitney and Goddard said
the machine that will be put into the
field by them this fall will have many
changes. That it will be not only
operated by an engine, but the wagon
run by the same power will be SO con-
structed that it can go through the
field without injury to the stalk.
What we wanted to convince our
selves of was whether or not the
suction principle for the picking of
cotton would be a success and now
since we are convinced it is, we ex-
pect TO place a machine in the field
this year that will prove a winner.
You see, said Mr. Whitney, it has
always been my idea that machine
to pick cotton successfully needed
sight and speed and by the negro
directing the suction hose over the
stalk it produces both Again, the
machine is simple and any planter
and his negro labor can operate it
successfully.
Ono trouble Will, most cotton ,,ic1<-
ing machines heretofore has been
their weight, they are SO heavy that
in rainy weather or when the ground
is wet and soft, it can not run to do
any good. Our machine being light,
it can operate at any time.
During the course of the exhibition
of the machine, Mr.. C. A. Williams
took hold of one of the suction tubes
and walking over to Mr.. Hood, who
was smoking a cigar, held it in front
of his face and in the next instant
the cigar was over in the hopper This
caused hearty laugh from the crowd
who witnessed the trick.
The entire party, after spending a
couple of hours in the field, returned
to the city that afternoon.
From the consensus of opinion,
with the proposed changes made, the
enterprising gentlemen will have
successful cotton harvester and one
| that will prove a great boon to the
cotton industry.

A SIMPLIFIED
COTTON PICKER
GIVEN HARD TEST ON THE
.WHARFIELD PLANTATION
Last Wednesday Large Party of
Interested Greenvillians Witnessed
the Trial of This Marvellous Ma
chine-Full Description Given

The trial Of the Cohn, Whitney,
Goldfarb Cotton Harvester was made
last Wednesday morning about II 100
O'Clock on the Wharheld plantation,
now owned by Mr. Gus Shelby
Mr.. Ira McGee's steam launch was
chartered to carry down party OF
1ntrested citizens from here to wit
ness the operation and workings OF
the new machine, which promises to,
in a large measure, solve the cotton
gathering problem OF the planter to
day.
The gentlemen who composed the
party that went down on the gasoline
boat were Messrs. Edward Holland,
cotton buyer, n Goldstein of the
cotton factor concern of Abe Blum,
Henry Crittenden. OF the 0. B. Crit
tenden Co, cotton factors, c. II. Will
liams of the Greenville Cotton Co,
cotton factors, Capt w. w. Stone,

Bell planters; Howard Hood, of the
Hood-Sharkey Co., hardware dealers,
c. l. Bourne, of Richard Bourne,
jewelers., Jack Wyche, Greenville
Cotton Exchange, Jake Weiss, shoe
dealer and the writer. The trip down
the river was made in short time,
and on arrival at the plantation, the
party was met by Mr.. Shelby, who
had a wagon in waiting to carry the
party over to where the picker was
at work After three-quarter of an
hours drive, we reached the field of
open cotton where the picker was at
work. Messrs Whitney and Goddard
two OF the promoters of the inven-
ton, gave the entire party a cordial
greeting
The machine was soon surrounded
bv It's future critics and one of the
first conclusions reached by all on
seeing it, was its wonderful simplic-
ity The harvester consists OF a -wag-
-on with a platform bed, on the front
OF which sets 2o-horse power gaso-
line engine, while directly behind
this, one on each side of the wagon,
with belts passing between them, are
two IA inch suction fans, these fans
are connected wit a stack OF some
IL inches in diameter and about 5
feet in length with a crook at the
upper end. On the rear of the wagon
IS a netting case the width OF the
wagon and about ) feet high for re-
ceiving the gathered cotton. Again.
connected with the fans on each side
of the wagon, are two i inch rubber
hose, different lengths. The principle
OF operating the picker is this, the
machine, running at high rate OF
speed, the fans, furnish strong
suction through the rubber tubes
These hose or tubes are easily car
ried and operated by men who, with
a strap fastened near their end, hang
it on their shoulders, while their
hands direct the end of the hose near
the open boil and the cotton is suck
ed out over the tall stack into the re-
ceiver.
Owing to the rotten bolls, due to
the cotton standing. so long in the
weather, the cotton gathered was not
clean but it was even then cleaner

be here and if you want band con-
cert twice a week and one on Sunday
afternoon, help the boys along. Next
week a committee of the band boys
will solicit the merchants and busi-
| ness men to provide a fund for this
purpose, and it is to be hoped that
they will respond literally. 1t only
takes small monthly contribution
| from each business man, but in tn.
whole, will help out the band wonder
| fully. No movement deserves heart
ier support, and our business men
| will perform a patriotic work and
| duty by supporting this musical or

! Besides this, the professor has a
Iyoung ladies' orchestra that will be
able to furnish excellent numbers in
! the programs to be furnished this
/ summer. This will greatly add to the

I When the Boys Band has attained
a degree of proficiency, it is the pur
pose of the professor to combine
with the Greenville Concert Band il
giving open air concerts, the kie
band to furnish several numbers OF
the program, which will prove quite
novel feature and will attract nj

COMMITTEE
MEETING
IN CONJUNCTION WITH CITY
COUNCIL LAST TUESDAY
Discuss the Reform Movement Now
On In the City-Prominent Citi-
gems and Councilmen Make Con-
servative Addresses

The City Council met committee
of citizens last Tuesday night to lis
ten to recommendations offered by
them with regards TO the suppression
OF crime and betterment of the city.
led petitions were read and pre-
tei to the Council by Hon. Le-
Roy Percy, also the recommendation
10 the Council which in brief are the
fforcement of the law regarding the
open saloon and the conduct OF its
busines. That crap dives and motor
ious gambling houses be closed at
once. That all houses of i'll fame
be as far as practicable confined to
one section of the city, that the tele-
phones be ordered out and no saloon
be allowed to send any drinks into
these houses or same sold there.
Mr.. Percy then took up each recon-
mendation and discussed it calmly
and clearly and said that he did not
desire to see any rabid movement of
reform started in the city. as they
often resulted in doing more harm
than good, but with the suggestions
argued upon by the COMMITTEES after
thorough discussion of the matter,
he thought if they were supported
and carried out by the Mayor and
Council, it would, in large measure,
overcome the existing bad conditions
referred to by the preachers of the
city. The petition was signed by
every saloonman in the city and this
being true, should he not live up to
it. then the Council should revoke his
license
Mr.. Boddie followed Mr.. Percy in
a short talk along the same line and
only differed with the committee in
their recommendation, as to the sup
preston of the gambling evil. From
his remarks we judged he desired to
see all gambling suppressed.
Messrs. Wilczinski brought up the
question of city vagrants and said
we had in the city today 1000 negro
women and men who do not make
their living by honest work and
should be run out or made to work.
Mr. Robertshaw said that he had
made the affairs of the city study
since accepting place on its Council
that these questions the citizens are
now working on have been discussed
and safe solutions sought by the
Council but like in the matter of
gambling, he was not in favor OF
closing some clubs where it is said
gambling is carried on without en-
| forcing the law on all it is found out.
| All look alike to him and he believes
should be dealt with alike by the of
| ficers of the law.
| Mayor Yerger then said that he
was glad to have the committee with
them and that if the Counril would
allow him and stand by him, ne
would in the future see that the reh-
ommendation of the committee and
| other laws were carried out. The
| Council agreed and the meeting adj
! journed.
