A cotton picking machine— one
that picks cotton?
This is the 11 long felt want”
that will be offered to the cotton
planters of the a >uth at the begin
ning of the next cotton picking
season.
It is not a theory nor a prospect
but an accomplished fact and the
practicability of the machine has
been denionstuted in cotton fiffds
near Albany during the past ten
weeks to the entire satisfaction of
those who have seen it at work.
About the first of August Mr
George A Lowry of Boston—the
same man who mvented the wou
derful machine that makes what
is known as the ‘‘Lowry r-uit.d
bale”—came to Albany with a
machine different from anything
that had ever been seen in these
parts before. Nobody suepected
what it was or what it was intend¬
ed for and pe-hnps the last thing
• the world ti.t that .i the
in . average cot
ton . planter i would , , have , taken .
it
1
e for was the very thing it wafe— a
cotton ,,i«k»r
Mr. Lowry T ns-ked 1 1 i oLndr . 1 to . , look 1

of , taking , . . bis . machine , . into it , tor ,

curiosity prompted them to ask
quotums be mhI that be didn’t
know whether bis invention would
do tile work for which it was de¬
signed or tuff, but that lie bad
come to the cotton Helds with it
to put it to test and perfect it if
possible. He has stuck to li>
work faithfully and not until
about three weeks ugo did he an
nounce to even tlioie whom he
hud taken into Ilia confidence that
lie was lrinself confident that his
invention was a success.
By this time the machine that
he brought out from his shop in
Boston had been ■ > nlteitd, first
bo one change and anot her to tin et
obstacles that he smit his assistant
back to the shop to construct a
new model—the original plan ot
picking being retained but the
genernt construction of tin* 11m
chine being so nitcred as to beer
little resemblance to the original.
The new 'huxlel crime and was put
To work and was given a trial in
the presence of several gentlemen
of this city and iv tew who had
b^en invited to come lrom oilier
states.
And after seeing the machine
pick cotton they were all on
principle of ‘‘seeing is believing,
ready to say that it was a success
—that a practical cotton pickei
had at last been
thing that they had never
ted to see.
The purpose of this aiticls
not to advertise or “promote" Mr.
Lowry’s invention but the
that a machine has been invented
that will really pick cotton am
fucillnte the harvesting of that
staple crop is a matter of such
terest nnd importance to the cot
ton planters of the South tha* it

newspapers to handle ns news.

As the removal of the cotton

Fearless Charge by Judge Daley.
Judge A. F. Daley charged the
grand.jury id Bulloch county last
week that it wa9 their duty to in*
diet the lynchers of Cato nnd Heed
He said ail that participated in
that mob was guilty of murder,
the same as Reed and Cato, the
difference being, that the former
were bolder than the lutter.
Judge Daley said in part:
“If you do n >t intend to res¬
pect your oaths in this matter
you have no business in this body.
As a result of this lynching crime
has been rampant in the middle
circuit. The lawless element, it
seems, are men who are considered
good citizens. There was no ex¬
cuse for this crime. The law had
been properly applied. I congrat¬
ulate your entire bur. Tln-y did
not take advantage of technicali¬
ties to delay the law. Thi* crime \
is not against Heed and Cato so j
much as against the law. Now, j
gentlemen, are you going to stand
for this? If you have a majority
in favor of mob law you are in »
lad way and need correction in
your county. It is to bo regretted
that the military faffed to do its
duty. At the court (partial there
was an effort made by the militia
to blame the civil aut liorit irs for
lynching und they even accused
the court of complicity. This was
simply an effort of the military in
lr,,uhle ' Vou know wither the
'mint and civil officers were guilty
It you find that the court or any
other officer was guilty it is your
duty to return indictments. We
«ro not exempt. The cmirt-mnr
tial produced evideuce that some
of your citizens ware leaders of
the mob. Ir you find this to be
tru 1 , you must indictments I will
fbat the parties have u prom/it
H11 ^ f“' r trial, and I believe your
petit jurors will return true ver¬
dict.
