Recently It was our pleasure to
spend a short while In the new gin
plant at Westminster-the w. p.
Bell Ginnery. 1t was the first time
that we had ever stood and watched
a gin turn out bale after bale Of
cotton, and the work was revela-
ton to us. Every twelve minutes,
as regularly as clock work, bale
Of cotton was thrown out Of the
press, and during the day on which
we had visited the plant, September
9th, the gin had turned out &C
bales. 1t was Just 0 o'clock p. m.
when we left the plant after the last
wagon had driven under the great
ouStioI plpC, tlttt DCSll uhioduCh ttiN

Of the gin. where the finished bale
was loaded This is an electrically
operated gin, the entire equipment
having been put in this fall with a
special electrical outfit. The gin is
owned by r. ~. Jaynes, Esq, OF Wal
halla, and is leased by w. p. Bell,
OF Westminster. C. NJ. McDonald

Of the ginning as foreman, and p.
l.. Steck, Of Walhalla, is in charge
Of the Office and weighing. In con-
nection with the gin Mr.. Bell is
operating first-class corn mill, this
also being electrically operated. On
Saturday last the new gin closed
the day with a ginning record for
three weeks and a few days, turning
out the 730th bale about go
o'clock The picking season is re-
markably far advanced in that sec

been in operation for some week or
ten days prior to the beginning OF
operations at the Bell ginnery.
