FIRST RACE-ACAUTAW, GOLD
EN- VEIN, IRONBOUND.

ACAUTAW holds decided edge
in this event, a three-quarter mile
session. While this gelding hasn't
shown much recent good form, he
retains all of his speed and will
make show of his opposition. His
Fair Ground races were at dis
tances too far for his capabilities.
GOLDEN VEINS last was merely
a conditioner and he will show
great improvement. IRONBOUND

ments of the problem of constructing
a machine to replace the laborious
hand separation of cotton from seeds,
he got secondhand.
At that time, surprisingly, the whole
cotton crop of the entire country
could have been raised on 200 acres
of land. In fact, the Popular History
of American invention records that
eight years before Whitney completed
the first model of the gin within 10
days after he had heard such a devise
was needed, eight bales of cotton re-
ceived in Liverpool from a Southern
port, were seized by British customs
agents on the ground that could not
have been produced in America" The
world produced 49O,00O,OOO pounds o.
cotton in 1891, of which America sup
piled only $4,000 pounds. But every
where cotton was high-priced because
of the expense of separating the fibres
from seeds, leaves and dirt.
Within eight years after the cotton
gin was introduced by Mrs. Greene
and Whitney, this country produced
100000 pounds of cotton, the U. S.
crop multiplied rapidly until it reach
ed into billions of pounds, and the
South became for years the richest
section of the country.
Whitney did not share in the wealth
his fortunate visit and hardness with
tools had produced. He tried to mono
police all ginning of cotton, instead of
selling gins, and his device was i'm
mediately pirated and duplicated by
the thousands. He was never able to
obtain a patent. His only rewards
were $4,000 voted by the State o.
South Carolina; and percentage of
profits on all gins for five years, vot-
