We had occasion this week to visit the Eastman ginnery and grist mill while it was running in full blast,which is a regular thing at present, and we venture the as¬ sertion that there is not a more up-to-date establishment in South Georgia. All a man has to do there, is to drive his wagon under a suction pipe, which readily car¬ ries the cotton into the gin, and then bust le around to the platform to get the bale as it rolls out of the press, and it is all done before you could Hkm a cat, so to speak.
