RANGE Court Bill sad Bill for Exteasjoa
Of City Limits Pass Both Houses.
A telephone message received: by
John Costin, Jr, from Representa-.
tive Austin, yesterday afternoon,
ANNOUNCED the passage Of both the
bill creating the range court and
the measure for the extension of
city limits upon vote of the resideuts
of the territory to be annexed, ,havipg
been concurred in by the house
after having been passed by the
senate and are now up to the 0ov-
ernor for his signature.
The bill for the extension of city
limits means much to Virginia and
to other range towns, az 1t gives: IN
opportunity of embracing much
valuable territory, over which the
municipalities now exercise, in: a
degree, the pleasure of giving police
and fire protection, but from which
no taxes accrue to the city treasur.
les.
The court bill is a most meritori-
Gus measure. the advantages of
which are fully understood and .ap.
preciated by range residents who
have heretofore been compelled to
go from 20 to 120 miles to reach a
district court, making it advisable
to drop small matters of justice
rather than carry them through the
mill at an enormous expense.
The Governor has given assurance
of his intention of signing both
these measures, and to those who
have interested themselves in the
passage of same are due the thanks
of the range communities.

DECATUR MAN HAS A COT
TON PICKER.

Major High II. Mcconnell, of De-
catur, has patent cotton picker " hich
has been thoroughly tested and has
proven a success in every respect.
The picker was invented and patented
by his brother, n. L. Mcconnell. The
picker is operated by hand. 1t is made
OF aluminium and weighs about three
pounds. A number of practical dem
onstrations have shown that with this
little machine small boy can pick
from 600 to 1000 pounds Of cotton a
day. The machine can probably be
sold for $50.
Major Mcconnell is now having
the pickers manufactured in the east
and they will be placed on the market
throughout the South early this fall in
time for the first picking. The main
office of the firm will be located IN
Decatur and Major Hugh h. McCon-
nell will be the manager in charge.
The picker is simple in its construc-
ton, yet effective in its operations.
Unlike most machines for picking cot
ton, this is not suction machine. The
lint as it comes into the machine pass
es through brushes which take off all
dead leaves, dirt etc. The cotton then
falls down into a sack attached to the
machine, and the sack is emptied as
it becomes full.
Cotton men who have seen the
picker say it is bound to prove sue
cess, and they are Of the opinion that
there is a fortune to be made in its
sale. Demonstrations which were,
made by the machine in Mississippi
last fall prove that it is a success, and
that it will do the work of from three
to five hands in the cotton held.-De-
