Norfolk Man Has That May
RevOIutiOnize Industry.
Norfolk Public Ledger.1

1t will be of interest to the people
Of Norfolk to know that a Norfolk
man, ]. J. McNally, has invented and
patented a cotton gin that bids fair
to revOlutiOnlZe the cotton industry of
the South. Mr.. McNally has been dill
gently applying himself to the con-
struction Of this CINE for the last two
years, in one Of the largest machine
shops in New England. and now he
reports ne has it perfected. Mr.. T. H.
Rlrdsong, a prominent ginner of
Courtland, Va, was in the city today,
en- route home from Boston, Mass,
where he had gone to inspect the
working Of the gin. When seen by a
reporter of the Ledger-Dispatch he
seemed very enthusiastic over What he
had witnessed and expressed himslf
most emphatically as to IL merits. Mr..
Birdsong said:
The gin which Mr.. McNally has
invented. will, in my opinion, prove to
be a complete success, and no doubt
reVOlutlOnize the cotton ginning in
dustry of the South. witnessed its
successful operation, saw it rapidly
pull seed without breaking q single
strand and leaving no linters on the
seed, and what is more remarkable,
without the use of saws, knives or
brushes. 1t is a very simple affair,
constructed entirely Of metal and does
not require more than one-third the
horse power required by the saw
gin"
Mr.. Birdsong showed the reporter
some cotton seed taken from the Nc
Nally gin, and stated: Il have seen a
great mount of cotton ginned, but I
have never seen the seed stripped of
lint so clean as that which passes
through this gin.
THE invention is a process OF gin
ming on entirely new pee from the
old, and gins wet cotton as we'll as
dry, and it is the only gin hat | have

$4,000 and expend it in the same
way.
Many farmers fear a bond issue as
they do the visit of the chinch bug or
the Kansas grasshopper, but the bene-
hts they derive from that method of
raising money for road Improvement
are f~ar-reaching and immediate, while
the individual tax on each is SO small
that it is scarcely noticeable. AS the
benefits derived from perfected high
ways cover long periods of time, fair
ness and equity demand that the ris-
ing generation hould bear a portion
Of the cost, and hat the increased
citizenship, always attracted to the To-
cality by a system Of good roads,

benefits.

There Is no question about tina.

dition Of the kidneys and bladder.
Il Is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause Of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms Of arrangement Of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude Of well-known and IN
mistakable indications Of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some o.
these are, for instance; Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge" Sleep
lessness and inability TO secure
rest. scalding sensation and sedi.
ment in the urine, Inflammation Of
the bladder and passages, etc.
