CUTHBERT MAN INVENTS
A COTTON PICKER

Cuthbert, Ga, March ct will be
news to many in this county to learn
that Cuthbert has a citizen who is the
inventor of cotton picker that has
been patented The individual in ques-
ton is Mr. Phil E. Pearce, better
known as a cotton buyer than as an
inventor. He says he has been work
ing for eight years to devise a practi-
cal cotton picker and thinks he has
succeeded.
The picker runs on three wheels, the
two rear wheels being adjusted so that
they will straddle two rows of cotton.
An air pump and small gasoline en-
sine are a portion OF the equipment.
An arm that is movable, the end con-
tanning several small saws that re-
yolve, is placed in contact with the
open bolls. The saws pull the cotton

had originally planned to finance the
present Stefansson expedition, and it
was only at the request of the Premier
of Canada, the Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden,
that the Society relinquished its claim
upon the explorer. Premier Borden,
in letter to Mr. Grosvenor, stated
that the Government of Canada was OF
the opinion that, since Canada was the
country to be explored, it was more
fitting for the expedition to go under
the Canadian flag and for it to be fin
anced by the Canadian government.

lastly all consideration of appointment,
of a successor until after the funeral
rites were all ended, is actuating the
governor new in reference to the an
nouncement of his own intentions,
whatever they may be, in connection
with the senatorship.
While not meaning in the least to
r;,icise any of those who were in
haste to enter the race, the governor
has felt, it is said by his friends, that
il would be peculiarly inappropriate
for him, because of his official position,
to do anything in the premises hastily.
If the governor has vet decided
whether he will or will not later be-
come a candidate for the senate, he has
not so far as can be learned confldei
that decision to anybody.
