READY FOR
GREAT SHOW
IN new YORK
Automobiles Gathering at Mad
ison Square Garden F or Manu-
facturers Exhibit.

New York, Jan. 11.-Although
three days will elapse before the
ninth annual exhibition of the H.
censed automobile manufacturers at
Madison Square Garden will be
thrown open to the public, the big
ediffce that will house the show is
now being prepared for the visit of
the motor-mad thousands. Two hun
dred and ninety-four different displays
will greet the spectator, about forty
more than at any previous show.
Every available inch of space in the
Garden will be utilized.
AS in previous years, this show un.
der the auspices of the Association of
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers,
has been departmentized SO that Wis
itors may find more readily those
things which most interest them. The
standard makes of licensed cars will
be mostly on the main floor, of course,
but there will be car exhibits also on
the elevated platform overhanging the
main floor, in the cafe off the Madi.

ment.
The electric vehicles will be group
ed in the cafe, or exhibition hail.
as it is called, and the commercial
vehicles in the basement. There will
be forty-seven exhibits of complete
cars, besides 221 exhibits of accesso
ries and parts and twenty-six motor
cycle exhibits.
The motorcycle. exhibit will be the
first complete one ever shown. being
several times larger than at any pre-
vious show and suggesting impress
sively the advance that has been made
in this branch of motor vehicle travel
While there will be enough changes
in the way of detail improvements to
keep the enthusiasts busy studying
them when the show of the licensed
makers opens in Madison Square Gar
den, the big cars of standard makes
that comprise the Garden show will
bring out more strikingly than ever
before the great progress being made
toward the Standardization of impor-
tant parts. The work toward this end
has been going on for years through
the mechanical branch of the Assoct
alton of Licensed Automobile Manu-
facturers and some very definite re-
suits are now apparent. To the user
this standardization will in future
have a value in economy and convent
ence beyond estimate. 1t is not too
much to say that among the stand
ard makes it often will be possible to
make repair by using part from
a car of another make, in case of
emergency where the part needed is
not obtainable.

EXHIBITED COTTON PICKER.
Promoters Invited Public to Witness
Demonstration.

Bennettsville, Oct. 20.-The dem
onstration of the Price-Campbell cot
ton picker was continued Monday on
ex-senator Mclaurin's plantation in
the upper part of this county, the
public generally having been invited
to witness it.
Those who saw the machine operat-
ing are convinced that it can pick
the cotton. 1t gathers, however, a
considerable amount of trash and the
final success of the machine depends
upon the Rogers cleaner, process
intended to remove this trash from
the cotton picked.
The Price-Campbell is not a sue
ton machine but gathers the cotton
with innumerable steel hands or very
small steel needles which pass
through the cotton. The needles are
so made and are so flexible that they
do not in any way injure the unopen-
ed bolls or the cotton plant but affect
only the cotton fibre and seed which
are removed from the boil, and 1t Is
estimated that passing over the crop
one time IS to 80 per cent. Of the
cotton is picked. The machine passes
down the row at the rate of three
and one-half to four miles an hour
and is propelled by gasoline engine
made after the pattern of the Cadillac
automobile engine. 1t is operated by
one man and requires the assistance
of boy to keep the cotton packed
in the basket. The cotton picker
will gather about one bale an hour.
It picks up a considerable amount Of
trash, but it is claimed that the Rog'
ers cleaner will take this cotton,
trash and all and take out all the
trash and leave it in much better con-
dition than ordinarily picked and
handled by hand.

To Build Mill at Great Falls.

Charlotte, Oct. 20.-A 100000
cotton mill to be located at Great
Falls, South Carolina, about 20 miles
South of Chester, and to be the first
of chain of big textile mills to be
constructed at or near the power
plants of the Southern Power Com
pany-this, it is understood from ex-
cellent authority, is the latest devel-
opment for this section Of the South,
and to the efforts of the men behind
the Southern Power Company it is
said this important industrial wave
is Immediately and directly attribut-
able.
A message received by the Chron-
icle to-day stated that it was under
stood that new 100000 mill would
be located at Great Falls, and to this
it can be added that the organization
of this mill has been under discus
sion for some weeks and there ap-
pears. to be no doubt whatever but
that the mill will be built.
Those whose names have been re-
ported as the prime movers in the
plan are Messrs. Hal and Robert s..
Mebane, of Graham, and ]. B. Duke,
of New York, Thomas Fuller, of Dur
ham. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hal
Mebane will be president; Mr.. Fuller,
vice president, and Mr.. r. S. Mebane
secretary and treasurer of the new
mill at Great Falls.
The new mill, whose location at
Great Falls seems to be fully assured,
will be known as the "The Repub-
lic' cotton mill, and will be among
the largest and most modern cotton
or textile plants in the South to-day.

Spartanburg, Oct. 22.-The funeral

rural population into the towns Is uue
chiefly to this cause or to the superior
business opportunities Of city life may
be open to question. But no one at
all familiar with farm life throughout
the United States can fail to recognize
the necessity for building up the life
of the farm upon its social as well as
upon its productive side.
1t is true that country life has i'm
proved greatly in attractiveness, health
and comfort and that the farmers
earnings are higher than they were.
But city life is advancing even more
rapidly because Of the greater atten-
ton which is being given by the citi-
zens of the towns to their own better
ment. For just this reason the intro
duction of effective agricultural CO.
operation throughout the United States
is of the first Importance. Where
farmers are organized comparatively
they not only avail themselves much
more readily of business opportunities
and improved methods, but It Is found
that the organizations which bring

any government to reorgan1ze the
farmers business or reconstruct the
social life of farming communities.
1t is, however, quite within its power
to use its influence and the machinery
of publicity which 1t can control for
calling public attention to the needs
and the facts. For. example, it is the
obvious duty of the government to call
the attention of farmers to the grow
ing monopolization of water power
The farmers, above all, should have
that power, on reasonable terms, for
cheap transportation, for lighting their
homes and for innumerable uses in
the daily tasks on the farm.
Farmers Own Work Needed.
1t would be idle. to assert that life
on the farm occupies as good posi-
ton in dignity, desirability and bust
ness results as the farmers might
easily give 1t If they chose. One Of
the chief difficulties is the failure of
country life as it exists at present to
satisfy the higher social and intellec-
tual aspirations of country people.
