COTTON PICKER IS A SUCCESS.
Seen in Operation by a Lnmberton Far
m er—T elle H ow it W ork*.
H. B. Jennings, in Robeson Advance.
I went to St . Louis, there joining
the party at the Terminal Hotel,
Saturdayafternoonl Oetober 15th.
We left St. Louis that evening a-
bout 8 o’clock, stopping the next
uight at Mesquite, Texas, a small
town about seven miles from Dal
las. The following morning the
party was driven out to the plan
tation of Mr. Schuyler B. Marshal,
where we saw the first demonstra
tion of the machine. A large crowd
had assembled; the machine was
promptly put in operation, mov
ing down and directly over the
cotton row, being guided by a man
sitting on a comfortable seat above
the forepart of the machine; it
moved along about as fast as the
average man walks. The crowd
followed the machine cloBely up
and down the rows of cotton and I
noted very closely the operation of
the machine and the effects upon
the growing plants. At the time
of the demonstration the plants had
not been touched by frost, were
very green and contained a good
supply of open cotton. I had gone
on this trip reluctantly, feeling
that I would of necessity have to
make a report which would be con
demnatory of the machine, as I
had always believed this accom
plishment one of the mechanical
impossibilities. The first opera
tion of the machine was an “eye-
opener;” it did the work far better
than I had expected, the cotton
being picked without visible in
jury to the plant; not even were
the open blossoms damaged; I did
not see a bloom or a green boll fall
to the ground; the open cotton was
nearly entirely cleaned from the
stalks by the machine, and at the
rate of about five hundred pounds
per hour, with only one man oper
ating it.
The machine has the appearance
of a large automobile, aud is driv
en by a 36 horsepower gasoleue
motor, which seems to supply am
ple po&er for the purpose intend
ed- The cotton picker, as stated
before, moves down directly over
the plant, and has in front a V-
shaped guide, which slightly com
pressed the plant as it passes along
bringing the whole within reach of
the little fingers; these fingers are
the most ingenious part of the ma
chine; there are about three hund
red of these on each side of the
center of the picker; they are about
eight to ten inches long, by about
one-fourth inch in diameter at the
hub-end, tapering to a point about
one-eighth of an inch in diameter,
they revolve very rapidly and have
a faculty of moving backward out
of branches of the plaut at the
same speed as the machine moves
forward; this largely explains how
these numerous steel fingers can
thoroughly search every inch of
space within the plant form with
out tearing and otherwise damag
ing the plant itself. The finger
has a row of teeth very much the
same as Baw teeth, running from
end to end, but covering laterally
only one-fifth of the Burface; this
.finger turning to the right engages
any lint which 4 comes in contact
with and releases it when it rever-
res its motion oh the back stroke;
thus released, the cotton is deliv
ered unto, a belt conveyor, there
being one on each side of tbe ma
chine; these conveyors take it to a
large canvas' basket at the rear of
,the. machine, aj basket being on
both the right and left hand sides;
the two sides of the machine are
identical in all respects, which
makes it necessary that the steel
fingers should penetrate more than
half way through the plant form.
W e saw the cotton picked on Mr.
Marshall’s plantation weighed and
loaded-in several wagons; this was
,,,marked for identification by the
members of our party, and the dri
vers were directed to go to the
large Murray Ginning Company
plant at Dallas. Our car was soon
attached to a passing traiu, which
took us to Dallas; we weut imme
diately to tbe gin, about the same
time the loaded wagons arrived;
the cotton was identified by our
party, and was then driven under
a gin suction conveyor and deliv
ered to a cleaning machine, thence
to the gin and the press; we wit
nessed all the details of converting
the cotton from the seed cotton to
the bale ready for market. When
the cotton was baled aud rolled on
the platform we took samples from
all four sides; the consensus of
opinion was that the cotton classed
strict middling, New York classifi
cation.
The next demonstration was at
the Dallas fair grounds; the ground
encircled by the race track was
planted in cotton, which was ready
for picking. Here we saw two ’ of
the Campbell-Price cotton picking
machines in active operation. So
much interest was manifested in
these machines, the field was en»
closed by a wire fence, and gate
keepers employed to keep back the
crowds. Here I saw another me
chanical picker in operation; it
was horse-drawn and worthy of
passing notice; the hor3e appeared
over loaded, and a great deal of
cotton was on the ground as the
machine passed; the plant was al
so injured considerably. I did not
learn the name of the machine or
its promoters.
This demonstration at the Dallas
fair grounds was an impressive
sight, as many native farmerB had
gathered, and a good many were
admitted to the cotton field,- in or
der that they might see the opera
tion of the machine at closet range.
I talked with a number of them
and every one pronounced the pick
er a success; the only criticism I
heard was the amount of green
leaf which was picked along with
the cotton; this was for the most
part eliminated by one process of
cleaning at the gin. I talked to
both Mr. Price aud Mr. Campbell
concerning this feature and was in
formed that they had perfected an
attachment to the picker that
would take out tnis leaf as the cot
ton was being picked; they had
not yet applied this attachment.
If this trouble is overcome the ma
chine is au asset with which cot
ton producers throughout the South
will of necessity have to reckon in
the future. With these mechani
cal cotton pickers in universal use,
there will be a very great increase
in acreage of cotton,
After spending a few days in
Dallas our party went to Dalworth
Texas, where we saw another of
the Price-Campbell cotton pickers
in operation. This demonstration
was not unlike those we saw at
Mesquite and Dallas; the machine
operated without a hitch, picking
the cotton at the rate of about 500
pounds per hour.
BEARS SHOOTING THE CHUTE.
Editor Bank*, o f T he D em ocrat, T ells a
G ood Story, B at T he End i* a
Little Strong.
Hickory Democrat.
“ What is that black thing shoot
ing the chute!” asked a workman
of the Ritter Lumber Co., at Mor
timer one iday last week, of his
companions.
All eyes were turned toward the
head of the chute, which is half a
mile long, extending up to the top
of a steep mountain. It is a deep
groove made by hewing out logs,
and then the groove is greased to
make the saw logs cut out high up
on the mountain side slide down
It doesu’t take Iddg to shoot this
chute, and in a tew moments the
lumbermen involuntarily jumped
backward as a grunting hank of
black hair swept past them into
the stream under the mouth of the
chute. It was a bear cub! With
a low growl it splattered out of the
water, clambered up the bank and
ran into the woods.
The lumbermen were too amazed
to head little Bruin off; and fell to
discussing how he must have slip
ped into the chute as he was hunt
ing huckleberries on the peak, and
lost his hand-bold.
Row, there is no wild beast of
the foreBt that loves a frolic more
than the genus Ursns. This is the
reason we so often see the dancing
bear. A bear has a keen sense of
humor. Indeed your bear is a
born Irishman. This shoot the
chute episode was just as funny to
little Brnin himself as it was to the
workmen, as the sequel will show.
Several days later the workmen
at Mortimer saw three bears thump
ing down the chute. One was Lit
tle Brother and he had his mother
and iiBter with him. No sooner
down than they scrambled up, and
came down again; and again; and
again. This they did for Beveral
days, till the lumbermen began to
get too familiar. Then the bears
cut out the chute shootingtill Sun
days, and if the State Press Associ
ation will stay over Sunday at’ Le
noir, Capt. Nichols will give them
a special train up to Mortimer to
see the sight.

It takes up no room.
I brush it, and press it.
And tend it with love;
And if I grow stouter
’Twill fit like a glove.

Its cling is so warm;
And if I,don’t wear it,
’Twill do me no harm!

Tough on Dogs.
Greenville, N. C., is not going
to Tiave any trouble from rabies
this summer if The Reflector has
j Dfluence to prevent it. Listen to
our contemporary’s advice to its
constituents: “The town is full of
dogs, and if there is one good reas
on for having them it is not ap
parent. Those who are inclined to
humor their fancy by keeping a
dog should lay aside their fancy
for the greater safety of human be
ings, especially the children of the
community. Get rid of your dogs
—give them a wav, kill them or
anything to get them out of the
community. Your dog is a source
of danger to you, to your family
and to your neighbor. Get rid of
the dogs; they are dangerous and
needless,”
This is about the most sweeping
anti-dog pronunciamento which has
come to our knowledge. The Re
flector has evideutly sworn the ex
termination of the entire species as
far as Greenville is concerned. Re
sembling trusts, there are good
dogs and bad dogs, but at this time
of year the best of them need the
closest watching; and unless reason
to the contrary can be presented in
each instance we are inclined to
endorse our contemporary’s man
date to “kill.” With respect to
getting them out of the commun
ity, we are by no means sure that
this is not simply shouldering a
menace upon other folks. With
the mercury flirting with the cen
tury mark, the dog situation de
mands attention in every comnittn-
ity in the State, and we believe
that this attention must be given
to it if the people of North Caro
lina—or any part of them—are to
continue to have dogs at heel. It
is most annoying to have sheep
slain by the nutaxed canine, but
when it comes to the matter of
children being bitten “annoying”
is not an adequate adjective.—
Charlotte Observer.
The Record would take fiendish
delight in supporting any man, de
mocrat or republican, who would
agree to vote and work for a tax of
$10 to be put an every dog in Da-
v5e county. rWheu a dog ruus mad
he'seldom bites bis owner, but
'inflicts suffering,, apd oftentimes
death on innocent children. .-It
wouldn’t be so terrible if only the
owners of dogs had to suffer. One
human life is worth more than all
tbe dogs in creation. There may
be some good dogs, but if so, they
should be taxed at least $1 0 . We
have owned a few dogs at different
times, but if the whole bunch put
together were worth thirty cents
we never found it out What our
town and county . needs is more
hogs and sheep and less dogs. -
Bryan Will Stand Aside Bnt Will
Offer Advice.
Washington Dispatch to RaleighNewsand
Observer.
William Jennings Bryan will not
seek the nomination for the presi
dency under any circumstances
next year. The distinguished Ne
braskan is authority for this infor
mation, which he unbosomed to
several of his friends in Congress
when in Washington a few days
ago.
Speaking of the presidency, Mr.
Bryan said, “I believe in the law
of compensation. Although I fail
ed of election three times, IJiave
lived to see many of the things that
I advocated iu my campaigns, en
dorsed by Republican Presidents
and enacted into law by Republican
Congress and Legislature. This is
sufficient compensation for me for
all that I have done and I haveno
political ambition. I am willing
to.see others step in who will carry
on the fight.”
[The trouble is that while Mr.
Bryan may be willing to step aside
those who step in to carry on the
fight must bear the stamp of his ap
proval and must conduct the fight
in the manner of which he approves
else there will be trouble.—The
Landmark, j
The Drought.
Charlotte Chronicle.
We are a little bit doubtful about
the propriety of praying for rain.
We can say this and yet in no way
cast doubt upon the efficacy of
prayer, for faith in prayer is the
very foundation of the Christian
religion. Doctiinally, we may be
in error, but we believe that the
drouth is ordained for the good of
the people and that it will be brok
en in due time regardless of tbe
bending of the knee. These fairy
tales about rain nearly drowning
the people before they could get
home Irom prayer meeting, was
negatived by the exercise at Sardis
Monday, when the people walked
home through an accumulation of
dust and not a single mill dam was
washed away., Also,wearescien
tifically skeptical. We are glad
this government has not yet gone
to the folly of appropriating money
to shoot cannon in the hope of
bringing rain by the process of
concussion. The French govern
ment burned a good deal o.£money
in experiments of that kind and
though the rain was reported to
have lollowed the cannon shooting
just like it follows the prayer meet
ing, we hear of no more experi
ments in France, or anywhere else
to break a drought by burning
powder. Neither science nor pray
er will avail against what is ordain
ed of God, but it will do no harm
to pray for rain, for such prayer is
a beautiful exemplification of faith.
The country isjiow sorely in needi
Of rain, but the situation is not a l'
togethefhopeleas. The people have
never yet been ruined-hya drought
Crops have been cut short, but In
one way or another the country has
been always able to pull through
and will continue to do so. We are
not opposed to the prayer meetings
—we hope they will continue—but
we are looking for raiu when the
Good Master, and not the Weather
Bureau, gets ready to send it.
Not That Kind of Reformers.

cut off that part of the mileage al
lowance that now goes into their
pockets; but they are not that kind

There are other warm things in
Washington besides the weather—
that Democratic Congress and Re
publican Senate, for instance.
TheCharlotteObserver says that
Bryan has already been sat upon.
The trouble is that Billy don’t know
when a fellow is down and out.
Up to this V there are only four
or live democrats scrambling for the
senatorship in North Carolina, but
others may fall in at any time. It
has been a long time since the office
sought the man in North Carolina.
The man who sits the farthest up
and sings the loudest, is not always
the best man. Lots of such people
are guilty of grave offenses, such as
robbing an editor of a year or two’s
subscription, and other little sins too
numerous to mention.
The Record would be glad indeed
to see the national or State highway
pass through Davie county. Every
body in Davie county should work
unceasingly for good roads, good
bridges and some kind of a train
service.
Salisbury-Spenceris to have the
biggest 4th of July celebration ever

ground with a big basket of rations.
The Record 'doesn’t put forty or
fifty new subscribers on its books
every week, but its circulation con
tinues to grow. It has the largest
circulation of any paper in the coun

Democratsand Republicans.

They Read Advertisements.
Concord Times.
The Red Springs Citizen publish
es a letter from one of its country
subscribers that illustrates a fact
that every merchant ought to know
that the people read the advertise
ments. Both The Times and The
Tribune have many subscribers
who take no other paper, and they
read the paper closely from first
page to last. They read the ad
vertisements, bec-inse they have
found that these are of interest and
value to them. The following is
the letter referred to:
“I live out in the conntry and
don’t go to town much, but I read
the Citizen all over, advertisements
and all, and see who to trade with
when I go to town. I like to know
who sells the cheapest for cash and
on time too, as I don’t have tbe
money every time. If all of the
Bed Springs merchants would ad
vertise and tell the country folks
what they have to sell, we folks in
the country would go to EedSprings
more to trade if they were as cheap
as other places.
‘‘When we go to Eed Springs to
trade we go to the man’s store that
advertises in the Citizen, for we
know he will do us nearer right
than any one else. A man that is
too stingy to advertise what he has
to sell is too close to give me a bar
gain. I love to read news from the
merchan ts j list as well as from other
folks. I tell yon right now a man
that don’t advertise will not get
my trade, because I don’t know
what he has got to sell. I go just
as straight to the store that adver
tises as a martin does to his gourd.
Advertising don’t only help the
man that does it but it helps the
town also.”
Mr. John H. Stewart Dead.
Charlotte, June 12.—Mr. John
H. Stewart died suddenly yester
day afternoon at 6:30 o’clock, fol
lowing an attack of acute indiges
tion. Tbn sudden summons was
entirely unexpected and wi'I be
learned of with distress by many
friends here and elsewhere. Heart
trouble, from which Mr. Stewart
has suffered for the past ten years,
wTnr-^complieation which was a
factor.
Mr Stewart was about 65 years
of age. He was born in Lancaster.
S. C., but was taken by his par
ents to Mocksville when he was
very young. He made that his
home until two years ago when he
moved to Charlotte with his wife.
Seventeen years ago he was hap
pily married to Miss Julia Steele,
of Bockingham, a daughter of Hon.
W. L. Steele and member of a pro
minent family of that section.
Engaging in the tobacco business
in early life, Mr. Stewart was not
long in achieving success, although
owing to the ill health which bad
beset him of recent years he had
beon retired for some time, He
was o man of the most likeable
traits of character, a courteous gen
tleman with whom it was ever a
pleasure to converse. His range
of information was wide and'accu
rate, his sympathies were broad
aod deep. Altogether he was a
man of the type to win many and
lasting friends. Mrs. Stewart siir
vives. Her sister, Miss Mamie
Steele, of Rockingham, chanced to
be here on a visit and is with her.
The funeral and interment occurr
ed at Eockingham Tuesday after
noon. The services were conduc
ted by the pastor of the Presbyter
ian church at Eockingham.
It pains us to publish the death
of Mr. Stewart. He was one of
The Eecord’s good friends and had
been a life-long subscriber. , He is
a half-brother of our townsman,
Mr. T. M. Young, and has many
friends in Mocksville who were
sorry indeed to learn of his death.

She’s a Bird.
Fromjusta plain bird, through
succession of cognomen of thefeath-
ered.tribe, Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, of
ParisKy., who has been visiting
Warren county, has feathered her
nest well, and holds probably the
most singular distinction of surnames
of any one on record.
Shebegan as Elizabeth Bird in
Harrison, Ky., and first ventured
from the home nest when she mar-
rie'd Bob Martin. When Mr. Martin
died she married Edward Crow, a
farmer. When the time came to
change nests she allied herself with
William Robin, and lived happy until
the matrimonial season of Mrs. Rob-
in again rolled along. Then David
Buzzard a widower more attractive
personally and socially than his name
would indicate, appeared and 'Mrs.
Robin became Mrs. Buzzard.Into the Buzzard roost Mrs. Buz
zard carried one little Martin, two
little Grows and one little Robin
One little Buzzard was already there
to welcome the other birds.—Ex.

THE CIGARETTE BOY.
Law’s Lash.
A boy stood on an old goods box
Fiom which the rest had fled;
The flame that lit his cigarette
Shone round his reckless head.
A pack of Duke’s was in his grasp,
A quid was in his jaws;
He cried aloud to passers-by:
“I cusses, smokes and chaws.”
The boy went on—he would not quit;
Advice was all unheard;
His life was likehis awful breath—
With smoke and likker smeared.
In horrid dreams he called aloud:
“Oh, father, father, say! .
Had I but took your wise advice,
I’d have missed this awful way."
A nervous wreck, a new-made grave—
The boy—oh, where was he?
Not with the ransomed over there,
The world can plainly see.
Extension of New Railroads.
The arrangements for the sale of
the State's interest in the Elkin and
Alleghany railroad to a company
which will complete the line from
ElkintoSpartaand Jefferson and
probably beyond, are still in pro
gress and it is believed the plan
will be consummated.
It is 6aid that the Mattamnskeet
railroad, which was graded by
State convicts, will also be sold to
a company that will equip it and
put it into operation.
- Promoters of the proposed South
Atlantic Transcontinental Bailroad
from the Tennessee coal fields
through Knoxville. Waynesville,
Asheville and Butbefordton, to
Southport and connections of vast
proposed proportions, had a hear
ing before the Governor and council
of State last week, seeking to secure
convicts for work on the line. The
promoters claim .that $1 1,0 0 0 ,0 0 0
of French eapitat is now available
for the project and that $60,000 has
been expended in surveys, etc. A-
nother bearing is to be held with
relerence to the convicts.
There is one medicine that every fam
ily should be provided with and especiaUy
during the summer months, viz, Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Re
medy. It is almost certain to be needed.
It costs but a quarter. Can you afford to
be without it? For sale by aU dealers.
_ What Do YouThinkof This?
We have never had the privilege
of seeing a harem or even a trouser
skirt, but from wbat we have read
of them, the attractions in both
cases are the legs ot the gals wear
ing them, and we propose the bal
letsk irtasa substitute for both.
It will reach about the knees and
it would seem that those who wish
to ihake an exhibition of themselves
could succeed better with a skirt of
this kind than they do with either
the trousers or harem skirt. We
are for the ballet skirt.—Lenoir
News.
The uniform success that has attended
the use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy has made it a fa
vorite everywhere. It can always be de-
penden upon. For sale by all dealers.

It was a long and bloody battle for life
that was waged bv James BvMershon, of
Newark, N. J., of which he writes: “Ihad
IostmuchbIoodfrom lung hemorrhages,
and was very weak and rundown. For
eight months I was unable to work. Death
seemed close-on my heels, when I began,
three weeks ago, to use Dr. King’s New

It is doing all that you claim.” For weak,

AndMammon spake aU ' these
words, saying, “l am the only god
that the-big bugs of the present
day are-willing to worship; there
fore I give Unto my slaves the fol
lowing commandments:
1. Thon shalt not waste aty
time worshipping the true Gody as
thon art too busy making goo-goo
eyes at me.
2 . Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, except such
as thou makest upon the face of a
dollar. Thon mayest put the im
age of a man or woman upon mon
ey and worship it to. thy heart’s
content. For I, Mammon, am a
lavish god, visiting the wealth of
the fathers upon the children to
the second and third generation
by that time thy have blowed it all
in.
3. Thou mayest cuss a blue
streak if thou wantest to, for a man
can’t prosper in business unless he
is a gcol cusser.
4. Bemember election day, and
vote for anything the millionaires
want.
5. Seven days shalt thou work,
and part of the nights if necessary
Thon shalt not rest, thou, nor tby
son, nor thy daughter^ nor thy hir
ed man, nor thy cook, nor thy cat
tle, nor thy horses, nor the book
agent that stopped in to spend the
night; for the trusts and corporati
ons are hungry and must be fed
trom the hands of labor.
6 . Thou shalt not kill a rich
man, especially if thou thyself art
poor; but if . thou art rich and
standest high in: society, thy may
e3t kill a: poor man or a negro and
thou shalt not be hurt for it.
7. Thyshaltnot cOmmit adul
tery, unless thou gettest tired of thy
own wife and.seest another that
lookest good to thee. Thenifthon
art discovered and the case comes
into court, lay all the blame on the
woman like old man Adam did.
8 . Thou, shalt not steal, unless
thou gettest a chanse. The safest
way to steal is to own stock in
trusts and railroads, Rockefeller,
Morgan and Guggenheim can put
you onto the racket, .
9. Thou shalt not tell the truth
if thou canst think up any kind of
a lie. The truth is what hurts;
therefore if one lie gets thee into
trouble, tell another and. get out.
That’s business.
1 0 . If thou desirest to be “in
the swim,” covet everything thy
neighbor has—and then bust thy
belly-band trying to get it.
It is worse than useless to take any
medicines internally: for muscular or
chronic rheumatism. All thaf is needed
is a free application of Chamberlain’s
Liniment. For sale by all dealers. -

A correspondent writing the
Charlotte Observer from Jefferson
says that in Solitnde neighborhood

porch of John Cox, on a recent
morning. Boark was on a drunken
debauch and some companions laid
him on Cox’s porch and left him
He died from the effects of drink.
The same correspondent says that
Ed. Bash, who lived some five or
six miles from Jefferson on BUffa1O
creek, at the base of Three-Top
mountain, was found dead on the
mountain a few days ago- He was
25 years old and married. He left
home, taking his gun, dog and a
lunch, telling bis wife he would be
away two days on a hunting cxpe
dition. When hefailedto return
he was found dead with a gun shot
wound in his thigh, from which h»
had evidently bled to death, his
faithful dog guarding his bcdy.
Cards were laid out nearby as if
two men had been playing and it
is believed Bash was shot in a row
over a card game.
