THE COTTON GIN.
Whitney Got tho Idea From the Work
Of an Old Negro.

Whitney Got tho Idea From the Work
Of an Old Negro.
Eli Whitney. the inventor of the cot
ton gin. got the germ of his great idea
from seeing through the interstices of
a hut an old negro work hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth OF the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly. aad
young Whitney the was barely tbir-
teen at the time, realized at once that
a machine working Il number of SINH
lar saws simultaneously would revolu J.
tionize the cotton growing industry.
He said nothing to anybody. but set
to work building models and expert
menting. His difficulties were enor-
nous. for he not cnly had TO make his
own wheels. coSS. etc. but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even
to manufacture the paint wherewith
to color his many plans and rawlings.
But he succeeded in the end. and.
though the outbreak of war and other
hindrances prevented the invention
from being actually placed upon the
market until many years afterward.
the first complete cotton gin ever con
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely a
single alteration.

At the Murrav,

Today sees the finish of Edith
Harckes engagement at the popular
Murray theater. Probably no other
singer has made such an impression
on the Richmond audiences as has
this dainty, petite young singer. She
is possessed of greet comeiiness and
has a voice that is equal to that of
bird. She certainly is a fine singer
and worth hearing: and today is your
last opportunity of hearing her.

laughs in the show. Mr.. Young dur
