THE PERFECT REMEDY.

Now, il is claimed that the Nicely compre; s.,
new thing under the American sun, will
obviate all Of these difficulties, do away With
all of this improper sampliDg and other kinds
Of robbery and enable the ginner 10 land bis
cotton at the door of the manufacturer or
elsewhere in the same eonden ed and perfect
shape and of the same weight which marked
its departure from the home ginnery and
compress right at the edge Of the field where
il grew, and thus save the enormous tare
charges at home and abroad, estimated at
about Sl5,000,0O0 per year on the cotton
crop Of the Southern States.
In brief, it is claimed that the Nicely sys-
TEN and the wonderful compress have come
into existence TO save T. the ginners and cots
ton'growers Of the South annually the enOr-
nous sum OF $40, 900 eco to $50, 0OO, 900 in cold
cash. The compress will be manufactured and
sold at price that will admit Of every GIN
merry IN the country owning and operating
one night at the gin-in fact, as a part OF the
ginning machinery and 10 be operated by the
same power. II has been well demonstrated
tnat these are not extrayagant claims.

WHY THEY TOO. INTEREST.

1t is no wonder that they took such interest
in the workings Of this new machine and
new method Of COMPRISING cotton right
straight from the gin, for no people in the
world have suffered more from the old style
of ginning and bsling cotton than the Ameri-
can manufacturer of the Heecy staple.
The manu- acturers Of cotton have for 10
these many years had to pay heavy tolls ia
the way Of storage, insurance and water sb-
sorption, freight rates, ETC.. and the claim
that the Nicely compress will materially re-
duce these expenses nece sarily caused them
TO take notice. The cotton men had heard Of
the Nicely compre s, and the opportunity af-
forded them to see for themselves aud be
their own judges of It's virtues was eagerly
seized upon, and no feature of the sixteenth
annual gathering has so far proven more in
teresting than the Nicely exhibits at the JEFF
ferson, where the model turned out little
bales, and at the Caldwell Machine Works,
where the completed machine made 500
pound bales. Every member Of the cOnven-
ton saw the little machine perform. and pos
sibly fourth Of them made the pilgrimage
to the Cardwell works to see the complete
machine do its good work. The other three
fourths made the pilgrimage later.

THEY ARE SPOT BUYERS.

Southern manufacturers Of cotton buy al
most every bale of cotton they use direct
from the ginnery, very few, if any. of them
having to deal with the recompressed cotton
nan. This is an advantage in way, but at
the same time the manufacturer is subjected
to heavy storage and immense insurance
rates, and, in the case CT fire, to big losses
from water absorption. As the Nicely COM
press promises to be part Of the local gin
situated on the edge Of the cotton field from
Which the southern manufacturer buys his
stock for the factory, and claims also to give

money saver, it must necessarily obviate ia g.
large measure the losses to the manufacturer
that come from causes above outlined. Ii is
no wonder. therefore, that the exhibitions of
the Nicely compress attracted the attention of
the cotton men gathered in Richmond.
The exhibitions at the Jefferson WIS neces-
ssrily eonfiued to the operations or the little
model machine, which turns out bale of a
few pounds, but those who were not entirely
satisfied with its good work saw the whole
thing done on the big and complete machine
at the Cardwell COmpany's Works at Nine-
tenth and Cary streets.
