Whitney did not faernl it, tret Stole it from nn Elbert County Man. The same Elbert Man Intents tie Cut Sail A Georgian also the Ineeutar of tie Steamboat Another Georgian the Original Inventor of tie Sewing Machine and the Seartjtcntor. Elbcrtnn A'eie South. 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." Bin Hodgson: “I think it is the hole Into which the late deceased in- THE MUNICIPAL CONTES!^/ ■ H i S.i'A 3 Athens hafi : never witnessed a more orderly-election thaa theniunlcipal'con- teet yesterday. ‘ T*#re was no wMskey given away or buying of votes.

Money Found in a Bale or Cotton. —The other day tbe Henderson Ware house purchased a bale of cotton, and while putting It on the dray a silver dol lar dropped out from between the bag ging.

But theBaiiuer-Watclimaii knows no such word as fail when it attempts au enter prise. At an enormous expenditure of money we employed Judge I. M. Ken ney to make the attempt. It hud been agreed upon that he was to ncet Mr. Booth at the intersection of Market and Lumpkin streets, where he would turn over the vote to him, when the latter gentlemali would hasten onward. Mr. Booth tells us that he waited a half hour attlie appointed rendezvous for Judge Kenney, who failed to come, alien fear ing lie might mis* the special wheel barrow ordered at the corner lie pushed There is great uneasiness at the prolonged absence of Judge Kenney hi* friends well knowing the dangerous nature of the ground he hud to traverse It i* feared that he lias fallen from the sidewalk and been dashed to pieces iu the depths below, or perhaps isthevictim of foul play. Mr. Booth says lie knows the Judge to be a sober man, and can not think that lie ha* been drinking.
