As the question of tlic inventor ol the
cotton gin has been much discussed in
the southern press lately, wo hnve a
communication to present from a thor
oughly reliable and well-informed citi-
xett of Elberton which will prove .some
what startling to most of our cwn citi
zens ami will prove a bomb-shell to
those who have had so much to say con
cerning Whitney, who turns out to be a
fraud of the first water.
This will establish what common
sense would teach as the truth; that It
was only natural that a southern man
should be the original inventor of tbe
gin. Our correspondent is prepared
wi h facts to prove his assertion, though
unfortunately, as he states, the papers
were destroyed by fire.
The same correspondent has some
thing to ray concerning other great in
ventions, which will probably cause as
much surprise as what he says about
the cotton gin:
WHITNEY SOT THE INVENTOR OF TUH COT
TON OIN.* . _
Elberton, Ga., Doc. 4, 1882.
Mr. Editor:—From time to timo al
lusions are made to Ell Whitney as the
Inventor ot the cotton gin; but that he
was not the inventor we think could lie
easily proven If any one would take the
painB to investigate the facts which we
will briefly state. There lived in this
county during the latter part of the last
century and the first part of this century
a family by the name of Watkins; and
before Mr. Whitney invented the cotton
gin Mr. Joseph Watkins, a member of
litis family, and a wealthy planter, had
a cotton gin, which he had invented, and
for which he had obtained a patent, in
successful operation on his plantation.
While Mr. Whitney was staying at Mrs.
Gen. Green’s he heard of Mr. Watkins’
cotton gin and came to sec it. The re
sult of tills visit was, that ho made
some alterations or improvements on
Mr. Watkins’ invention, obtained a pat
ent, and tned to reap the benefits from
It. But ho failed in making any money;
for lie became entangled in expensive
lawsuits while defending his gin pat
ents, and lost most of the money which
he had made.
It rosy be asked tvhy did not Mr. Wat
kins reap the benefits from his Inven
tion, or why, at least, did he not got the
credit (or being the inventor? The an
swer l» simply this: Mr. Watkins was a
wealthy plantar aud did not care for
snch things. As an evidence of thl* it
may also be mentioned that Mr. Wat
kins was the Inventor of tho ent nail
As proof that there Is truth in what
we have said, we will further state that
take a g<tod healthy snaiLqr ereo tbe
Might train on the Atheiurtsrancti.and
double his old transit In * two-inch
heats ■ I* is needless Ho say we were
sadly disappointed, but before express
ing an opinion started out to inter-
vi«w some of tfca leading'astronotners
of oar olty as to tbelr opinion of tbe
performance.
The first man we tackled was Col.
iwa»fcJA,$iMilap;tM»|>Eiily gave ns
hia views. This gentleman waa out
spoken in his disgust of the show. He
stated that from reading tbe papers be
had been lead to believe that Mias Ve
nus was a beautiful young lady, who
would make ber toilet by the fight of
the sun, and aa be had longdesired to
witness this interesting performance
had gone to tbe expense of smoking a
piece of window glass, and then got
behind the door where uo one could
see him so as to go one eye on the pro
cess of disrobing. But he had been
sadly Imposed upon. Instead of see
ing a lovely woniuu in nature una
dorned be found nothing but a little
black speck. If that was Venus all
he had tossy was that Venus la a nig
ger and must have been a long ways
off.
We nextdiscovered Col. T. W.Ruck
er standing on a corner peeping be
tween two fingers, and asked what he
thought of the performance? “It is
very plain to me," was the calm re
ply. “That black spot on the sun’s
disc is no more Venus tliau 1 am. I
think in hisilate contact with the
comet, old Hoi got a black eye and has
simply pasted a piece of coat-plaster
over It."
Mayor O'Farrell: "I shall advise
our city council not to issue another
lloouM to any such show, it is a com
plete humbug. That spot you see is
nothing but a fly-speck, possibly left
last summer."
Sheriff Weir: "From reading tho pa
pers 1 had taken up an idea that Ve
nus was thesun'a wife, and that they
were going tojhave a regular Imir-pull-
Ing time op there. You know we mar
ried men could appreciate such a show
as that from a distance. I would' like
to get my clutches on the man who
started this swindle.”
Haro Wynn: “I’m glad the uext
one don’t come oil until 1902."
John Billups: “I consider It an
Improvement on tho Chispa troupe.”
HonterNicholson: “1 can see Ve
nus plain enough, but where is the
transit ?” f
Hal Linton: > ,c l hope Venus ain’t
going to shoot' that black ball this
way.’’
Mendel Morns: "It ish von tarn
huinpug." •- I .11
Ed 1/ong: “I believe that some pat
ent medicine man is painting his ad
vertisement on the sun. T am watch
ing to see if he don't shape a letter d|-
nclfc' . 7 *•
Langford: “Wonder what lire
my that,performance is given
for tbe benefit of?’’
Judge Nicholson: “That ain’t no
transit nor Venus neither, for I've
been seeing that black spot on tbeauii
for 85 years or more."
Mr. Isaac Lowe.- “I think the
man in the moon has finished up his
brush pile and has now taken a con
tract to elear a new ground In {the
sun.”
Col. W. A. Jester: “I think the
show has been postponed on account
of the election."
Ed Potter: “Tooiner’s old black
can beat that celestial race horse all to
pieces."
Jim King: “lam a member of the
church and don’t believe in attending
shows and so hava not seen it."
Bill Ash: “I think some fellow is
on a trade to buy the sun, and that
spot you see I* where he has taken a
sample out to see what grade it is."
Col. Tom Bailey: “I had an Idea
that Venus was going to put out the
sun, and se had prepared to double
the capacity of our gas works."
Conductor Hope Hale: "I am con
vinced now that you see the very same
sun at Lula that you do in Athens, for
I noticed the speck on tbe one ftp
there this morning."

Money Found in a Bale or Cotton.
—The other day tbe Henderson Ware

while putting It on the dray a silver dol

the second drayman secretly took pos

ceive^these returns i,lt was neces
sary to have a relay of couriers, aud our
advance agent succeeded in getting the
right men. As soon a* the pol is were
closed our agile young friend, Rev. John
Calvin Joh nson, mounted a bicycle that
was kept near at hand for the purpose,
and at lightning speed rushed to the
comer of College avenue and Broad
street where Mr. John Wimberly stood
waiting astraddle a fresh stick horse.
Mn J. reports an exciting ride down Col
lege avenue, and aays the few people
be passed stood with open-mouth won
der. He thinks he heard the courier
from the third ward coming, but did not
take time to wait for him. Mr. Wim
berly grasped the patters and as fast as
his steed would travel made for the
the uext courier, Mr. Isaac Lowe. In
passing over a very dangerous place

The votes of tho third ward were taken
.at the Town! Ilall. It was hard work to
employ an agent at this post, as you had
to traverse some very dangerous coun.
tyyi and . pass three bar-rooms on the
road. At length Mr. Sock Pruitt, our
mailing clerk, prevailed upon Mr.
George Booth to undertake the Heroin
lean(task The nearest telephone office
was at Ta madge & Hodgson’s, about
BOO yards distant, lie had nine relays

will rernaip several days down town
with the boys so as to recuperate. He

flew at his heels, but being well armed
with fire-poppers shot off t wo thatserv

agreed upon that he was to ncet Mr.

Yesterday the expedition sent opt in

fourth ward got back, bu|. they failed
to discover,the object oftheir search.
Stfcklng from a pile of rubblah, how
ever, opposite tbe. Methodist church,
they discovered hto diary that throws
some light upon his disappearance. It
reads like a chapter from the narra

11:2b—I am lost and all hopes of
meetiug Booth have vanished. I have
not made more than five yards in the
tost two hours. Have eaten up one of
my suspenders that partially' alleged
my craving for food. I am afraid tbe
India-rubber in them will be hard, to
digest.

Methodist church in the distance, al

I am undoubtedly lost and my
strength is about exhausted. Have
just eaten my last remaining shoe, but
the iron tacks in the heel felt like a

soon I will haye to slaughter my

I have certainly reached the Church,
but find here an Insurmountable bar

but the collar of my ovorcoat. I will

Old Mr. Ivey, while on a visit to hto
son’s grave wbich'is in tbe cemetery,
on the Marietta road, last Sundav, .
noticed a neighboring grave very
much torn up, and also observed the.
tracks of horses and wagon wheolqln..
the vicinity. On closer observation
be found a breast pin on the tnrf near
the grave, which she recognized'is
once belonging to old Mr»:- Durham;
whose mortal remains were: supposed'
to occupy the molested grave.' He
informed Mr. Fuller and Mr, Golderi;
two gentlemen living in the neighbor
hood, of the discovery, and these gen
tlemen, with spades and other digging
utensils, went to the cemetery to’In
vestigate the matter. About a foot
from the surface of the ground'they
found the coffin of the lady: which
contained nothing but underclothing
of the deceased, together with some
little trinkets that had .been buried
with her. At a foot deeper the box
that bad enclosed the the coffin was
found. In this was the black dress of
Mrs. Durham, and a back comb, but
the body was found to have been tak
en from the grave. Mrs. Durham was
buried on last Friday week, arid'!'

would probably 'Visit tho graveyard,
