Ronances Of Progress
lad WHITNEY-The MauIOIan VINO Made Nation RICh.

A young New Highlander went down
20 Georgia in 1892 to teach school.
He was raw-boned Massachusetts
youth Eli Whitney by name, who had
Just worked his way through Yale by
doing carpentry jobs and tutoring his
less clever classmates.
Young Whitney had no money; no
prospects The part Of Georgia to
which he went could support a school
master only at starvation wages. 1t
was farming section Cotton was
the principal crop. There was not
much money in this product, for the
time and labor involved in picking
and cleaning II for market we're too
great to allow large margin. Hence
the planters were poor aud many of
them talked of emigrating.
Whitney lived on the plantation OF
Gen. Nathaniel Greene's widow, a
thrifty soul. who took a motherly in
terest in the poor New Englander. He
is also said to have been deeply in
love with pretty Georgia girl whom
mutual lack of funds prevented his
marrying
The chief topic of conversation in
the neighborhood was cotton, and the
chief complaint the difficulty of sep
arating the lint from the seed in the
cotton boil. This work was all done
by hand. One man, working hard,
could only separate single pound of
cotton in day.
Mrs. Greene had noticed how handy
her young boarder was with carpen-
try tools and in improving and patch
ing up farm utensils. She told some

accomplish just a thousand times as
much work in day as before 1t was
equal to cotton-separating force of
1000 workers.
News of the miraculous contrivance
spread through all the south. People
travelled hundreds of miles to view
the invention and to watch 1t at work.
Whitney's name was on all lips. Then,
as he was arranging to patent his cot
ton gin, thieves broke into his work
shop one night and stole the model,
hoping to copy it and make similar
gins of their own before the patent
could be secured Thus at the very
threshold of success, Whitney re-
ceived his first terrible setback. Furi'
GUS at such ingratitude from inhabi-
tants of the very section that was to
profit most by his invention, Whit
ney left the south and moved to Con-
necticut, where he began systematic
manufacture of cotton gins. In this
he was aided by the state of South
Carolina, which showed its thanks to
him in the very practical form of
gift of 100000.
But his rights were assailed and he
became involved in series of costly
lawsuits, nearly all of which he lost.
Thus his invention of the cotton gin
proved merely a barren honor.
But the gin itself had by that time
revolutionized American commerce.
In 1871 only 189,500 pounds of cotton
had been exported TO Europe. The
next year Whitney's apparatus was
made, and in 1903 the annual amount
of export cotton had been increased
to 100000 pounds Cotton growing
became splendidly paying industry.

Four Men Who Were Punished for
Helping Mankind

A factory was on fire. The anger
danced about the flames and clam
ored for the factory-owner's life, Not
content with impoverishing him and
burning his life-work. they now
searched for him far and near in or
der to complete their atrocities by
tearing him to pieces or throwing him
into the fire. The man they sought
was James Hargreaves. The only
crime he had committed was to revo-
lutionize the cotton industry by in
venting machine which should some
day make cotton many times cheaper
and give employment to countless
thousands of poor people.
Hargreaves, an ignorant, illiterate
fellow, who nevertheless had latent
inventive genius, one day in 1867 saw
a spinning wheel accidentally knocked

that their old-fashioned hand work
