adjournment embark on the experiment
urged by the Postmaster General for a
parcels post on the rural routes. To
the great majority of the advocates of
a domestic parcels post this will be sat
isfactory only as it is the entering
wedge. They are not to be satisfied
with anything less than general ser
vice for domestic mails They contend,
however, that this experiment will SO
completely demonstrate the unlimited
possibilities for convenience and rev.
enue that Congress will be unable to
withstand the demand that will quickly
follow for an adequate service.
"The November elections have had
an influence too. There were many
members of Congress who declared
that the people were yet undecided as
to what they really wanted in the line
of parcels post. These members are
now convinced that the people have
made up their minds to get something
and to have representatives in Congress
who will give it to them
If we don't enact this legislation,
said a Republican member on the as
sembling of Congress for a short ses-
sion, the next Congress will. We had
better give them something and get
the credit for it.

No act Of Wisconsin mayor in a
quarter of a century has attracted so
much adverse criticism throughout Tie
state as has the welcoming address Of
Mayot Seidel to the Hobo convention
in Milwaukee. The utterances of the
press have been most cutting. The
country editors seem to look with
horror upon the spectacle of city's
head greeting and welcoming with open
arms a gathering of buns" who
would be chased from any respectable
city if they should appear there in their
usual habits. A composite text of the
editorial expressions would be that the
mayor, regardless of his personal IN
clinations as a socialist, should have
had greater regard for the greater
majority Of Industrious, law-lovlng
people he must represent in an official
act. His welcome to the Bum s"
convention has made Milwaukee the
laughing stock Of the land.

n NEW COTTON PICKER.
Invention OF Mr.. V. VI. Dinkins Nav
Prove u Success

"A cotton picker was tried out in
Mr.. l.. d. Jennings field last week
which may prove to be a success as
far as anything mechanical can be a.
success in the picking of cotton.
The machine is the invention OF Mr..
'. NJ. DinIlins, young man employ
ed on Mr.. l.. d. jennings place several
miles out from town. The machine
was first tried out last week on Mr..
Jennings farm, where there is a very
large amount of cotton open in the
fields and it is reported to have col
lected approximately 80 per cent of
the cotton where it went along.
The machine is operated on the sue
tion plan, the suction being obtained
through the use Of a gasoline engine
which was placed on an ordi-
nary two-horse wagon. Power Of
various degrees were applied and it
was found that it required between
fifteen and twenty horsepower to
furnish the proper amount of suction
to get the cotton out of the bolls,
while anything over was too strong
and would suck the cotton out of the
bolls.
AS the invention has only been
tried out and not put into peration,
little is known Of it yet, but the farm
ers on all sides who have heard of it
are anxious that it should prove a
success, so as to solve the big prob
lem which is now facing them in get
ting their cotton picked.
Patents have been granted for ap-
paratus working on the same princi-
pie, but whether the actual invention
is the same as something that has al
ready been patented is yet to he learn
ed. No patents have been applied for
yet, but as soon as the machine is
proved to work well, the matter will
be taken up with the patent office
and patents secured, if the in
vention is not alreday covered with
patents.
There are a great many farmers of
this county, and probably over a
great many other counties, who have
bales upon bales Of cotton in the fields
to be picked. but are unable to get
hands to do the picking. If a cotton
picker which was a success was in
vented. the farmers would at once be
the happiest persons in the world for
their greatest trouble would at once
be at an end. No doubt the inventor
would reap from his invention in a
short time, for the machine would at
once. after 1t was put on the mar
ket. be one Of the "best Sellers"

Birds Nest in Cotton Boil.

A dispatch to The Savannah News
from Washington, Ca, says: A Gu
rious freak Of nature was brought to
Washington this week by r. c. Cofer.
a prominent planter Of the Derby
shire district living near Rayle. 1t
consisted Of a birds nest which had
been built on the spacious branches
OF a cotton stalk and which had been
lined with the fiber from a boil
which had matured and opened with
in it.
The immatured cotton boil doubt
less formed the support of the nests
bottom when The bird commenced its
building. But by the time the Job
was completed. the boil commenced
to open it's fleecy interior to the sun
and by the time the mother bird
commence to lay, the bottom Of
the nest was lined with the
cotton upon which the eggs were laid
just as though this had been incor-
porated in the "plans and specitica-
tions" of the birds when the "con-
tract" for the home was let. The GU
riosity is being exhibited by r. o.
Barksdale, who has arranged to pre-
serve it until something more unique
can be found TO supplant it.
