The Cotton Exhibition.
Speaking of the benefits to urise to the
southern farmer from tbe great exhibition
of ootton fabrios and tbe instruments and
machinery used in its onlture and manufac
ture, whioh it is proposed to hold in Atlan
ta next winter, Mr. Atkinson, the prime
mover in the enterprise, in an interview
with a reporter of the New York Herald
says:
It will bring to tbe knowledge of ootton
planters the numerous inventions intended
to compass this end, and they will astonish
us all in their number and eflioaoy. The
planter oan sea them in actual operation,
bear their merits discussed and their possi
bilities explained. That the ootton planter
feels the need of such inventions and will
readily invest in them is plain from the vi
vid interest that has been mamtested
throughout the south by the new Clement
attachment. But let me illustrate what
tbe inteligent farmer might learn at this
exposition and how he might enrich him
self by the knowledge. He will first se.oot
the best from tbe number new tools for
cultivating bis ootton and will then study
the method of constructing tbe exhibition
building and of proteoting it from fire, so
that be may adapt it to the construction of
the hoose m whioh he will store bis cotton,
gins, eto. He will then seleot tbe best gin
that is exhibited, which may be onr needle
pointed gin or tUe new roller gin of Great
Britian. For this gin he will seleot the
best automatic feeder on exhibition, sad
will seleot for the other side of his gin tbe
best revolving apron on which the freshly
ginned cotton can be carried to a beater —
also selected fiom the best exhibition —that
will clean out the dust, tbe grit and imma
ture seed that has passed sbrough the gin.
Then, realizing that this cleaned lint must
not be rolied on the dirty floor, he will buy
a small press—ptxhaps tbe Hedrick hay
press—and pass the lint to it from the
cleaner, where it is baled immertiatly. With
cotton handled thus he would command a
premium aud could sell it direct to the fao--
tories on bis reputation, or consumers would
send agents to him with Mto cab to buy
bis crop, as agent snow scour the webt buy
ing the best wool clips. There is a New
England mill tßat is going to establish a
branch of its factory in tbe south, simply
that it may rely on getting ootton that has
been property banded for its own use by
ginning and baling it itself.
‘To mother wing of the building the in
telligent farmer will fiud machin s for bul
ling the seed. He will aele-t the best of
tbeße, and as soon as tbeateds re separa
ted from the lint he will bull them, feeding
the hulls to his stock. These hulls hold
one-third of the mineral element drawn
from the soil and arv worth as much ton for
ton, as hay for stock food. Tbe kernels he
will send to the nearest oil mill, telling tbe
oil and using the ground meal to feed the
sheep folded on cotton ground, thus restor
ing to the soil tbe other two-thirds of tbe
mineral element taken from it He will al
so seleot the best of trash cleaners wiih
whioh to treat tbe storm cottoo, amt into
whioh he can throw the bolls from whmh all
the cotton available has been picked. This
cotton, usually wasted, will be saved to him
All this work he oan do with his improved
machinery, with one-third the present labor
and expense, and with enormously better
results. This is the lesson we hope the ex
position will teach, If the farmers attend
it and investigate and act, we shall see cot
ton farms managed with the same care and
aystem that the farms of New York axd
Pessylvania are now managed'”
Excellent Weyrk.
We love to meet with a mun who tsk<!B
a pride in doing well whatever he attempts.
Such men always do honor to their profes
sion. Such a man is Alpha A. Williams, of
the Colnmbns Art Gallery. Lovmg his
work as he does, it is not surprising that he
does such excellent work. His gallery is
well filled .with magnificent specimens of
the divine art and be has so much experi
ence end good taste that he never fails to
please the most fastidions. Bat one meets
with so many familiar faees from old Harris
in bis gallery, that it seems like a needless
task to commend him to our people. These
faces in his collection of specimens all tea
tify of their extended knowldge of his mer
its. But he desires to cultivate the acquain
tance and take the pictures of those who
have not tried him and to these we com
mend hist.

Barky, Ga., Jan, 28, 1880,
In the year 1878, there were two ucgio
prisoners confined in the tail of this oouuty,
who were very badly afflicted with' that
loathsome disease Syphilis. In my official
capacity as Ordinary, 1 employed Capt. C.
T. Swift, then a resident of this place, to
cure them, under a contract, "no cure, no
pay." He administer, dto them his now
justly celebrated Syphilitic Specific, and in
a few weeks I felt bound, under my con
tract, to pay him out of the county treasu
ry, us he had effected a complete and radi
cal cine.
In testimony of the above, I have
hereunto set my official signature and seal,
