THE HISTORY OF THE CLEKEXT
. AT XACHMEIfT.
The Clement attachment was invented
about five years agp by a Tennessean
named Clement. He lived m Memphis,
and bad a small shop there in which he
proposed to manufacture bis attach
ments. He died shortly after making
hisinyention, and it now . belongs to
his heirs, baring been perfected by the
workman who had assisted him in ma
king it. Mr. F. E.~Whitefleld, - of Co
rinth Miss., has. charge of its interests
for the heirs. There are now six rallies
operating this attachment, The first
ever built was put in Corinth in 1875.
In 1876 one was pnt at Andersonville,
S. C., and in the pftsLtwo years four
have been added—all along the Pied
mont line. The best known of these is
at Westminister, S. C., where lives Mr.
J. V. Stripling, a most intelligent me
chanic; who has charge of tbe affairs of
the attachment, and to whom all cor
respondence is addressed.
THE NEW PBOCESE OF GINNING AND CABD-
» ING.
N ow I shall give the exact process of
the Clement attachment. In the first
place, up stairs, in a loft above the gen
eral machinery, the seed cotton was
stored; near the pile of seed cotton was
a cleaning machine, which was used
simply to cleanse the cotton of all dust,
or airt before it went to the gin. After
being cleaned it is let down » chute on
to an endless ravolving apron, which
carries.it to the gm. By the side of the
apron stood a boy, whose duty it was to.
regulate the feeding of tbe gin. The
apron was marked off into square yards,
This amount varies slightly with the
weather. Ihe seed cotton having been
spread upon tbe apion it sweeps slowly
into the gin.
The Clement gin differs from the or
dinary gin in many respects. In the
first place it is much^ slower.
There is no rush or clutter, or hurry
abo nt it. Its motion is gentle and even,
and its speed nbont one-third of the or
dinary gin. It is of much finer make
than other gins. It has sixty-four saws,
and the teeth are much smaller and fin
er. Its operation on the cotton seed is
essentially different, In the regular
gin the saws plunge like flashes tlirough
the fibre, catting, or tearing, or pulling
it. In this gin the fibre is pnllod from
the seed. The motion is so much slow
er and the hold of tkosaw-teeth so mnch
firmer, that the fibre is palled out and
not chopped or tom. The sesd has
time to turn completely aronnd under
the pull of the bbw so that the fibre
may be pulled out, as it were hand-
picked. In the one case the lint is
roped from the seed—in the other it is
coaxed. After the seed is stripped of
its fibre it drops ont of tbe way, and
the fibres of lint art carried on to the
brush. In tbe regular gins this brush re
volves with fierce rapidity, its centrifu
gal force throwing the lint fre-m itsteeth.
In tbe Clement gin it revolves slowly
and tbe lint holds it's place. As the
brush revolves slowly, holding tbe lint
securely, it meets a revolving card cylin-
inder armed with steel teeth. The
brnBh is covered with hair brnstles, and
the cylinder with steel teeth. The
teeth of the cylinder push in gently be
tween the bristles of tbe brash and pnll
the fibre loose. The brush iB inclined
to hold it, and the slight resistance
made to giving’it up siretches the fibre
to fall length and leaves it banging on
to the teeth of the cylinder. As the
cylinder rolls upward with these pend
ent fibres it meets a pair of cards, sus
pended jnst above it. The teeth of
these cards sweep tbrough the teeth of
the cylinder, and card backs as the
cylinder pulls' them past. As the cylin
der turns on it meets a doffer—another
cyliuder moving a trifle faster—which
pulls the fibre from the carding cylin
der without breaking the fibre or twis
ting or dislocating it. As tbe doffer
tarns with it, it carries it against a se
ries of combs that, moving up and down
betweeS the teetli of the doffer, gently
strips the fibre offi Nothing can be
more beautiful, smooth and even than
this fibre as it is combed from the dof
fer. It comes off in a roll of 36 inches
in width, carded combed and straight
ened in marvelous contest to the rag
ged, torn, shreds of lint thrown from
the harsh teeth and whizzing brush
of the regulation gin. A boy stands
is combed
cy roll of 36 inches width and of dipha-
nons thickness.
He doubles the ends of it together
and forces it into a card head about an
inch and a half wide. As the combs
feed the roll to the card head, the card
head taks.it, and as it emerges from the
other end a perfect “silver,” whidh is
deposited into, a tin can. A sliver is a
roll of cotton fibre about the breadth of
two fingers and a half, the thickness of
•ne, and it is thqp ready for spinning
into yarn. Fiom this point it is fed in
to spinning machinery, just such as we
see in any cotton factory and is in a few
minutes the most perfect yarn.
TTTF- THEORY of THE CLEMENT ATTACK-
HESTI
The reader who has gone thus far
with ns will see tbe theory npon which
the Clement attachment works.
1. It-aTGids-obopping -og-taariog, or
breaklhg the fibre by using fine teeth
jkw^sjpl close together, and by ginning
so slowly that tbe seed are stripped as
if by hand rath er than jostled and rock
ed and jerked as in the ordinary gin.
2. Instead of throwing the torn lint
into mangled mases, as the ordinary
. gip does, it handles it carefully and
never releases its hold oh it. It is first
taken on a delicate brush, where
it is smoothed; then palled to a
cylinder, where it is carded; then to a
doffer, where it is combed; and then in
to the card heads where it is span.
After studying it carefully I am struck
with two points—its -simplicity aud -its
power. It is miraculous, no one has
ever applied the principle before. And
yet this wonder pales when we think
what its effect will be. It is my honest
opinion that the handful of machinery
before me—for the attachment is noth
ing more than the card cylinder
by which an improved gin is connected
with a system of spindles—will do as
much for the .South as the discovery o f
steam has. done for the world.
A DIFFICULTY IN THE WAY.
The only difficulty we can see m tbe
way is not with the machine itself.
That is perfect in ita simplicity. The
gin is simply the improvement on
tbe regular gin—the spindles now in
use. The Clement attachment is aim'
ply two carding cylinder’s—that’s all.
It is the marriage of the cotton gin to
the spindle,and our inventor has joined
these two together bj putting the hand
of one into the band of the others and
then with the single warning to the gin
to “go slow!” be retires directly,
There is no complication, or trouble—
just tbe weadiDg of two perfectly or
thodox elements in a perfectly orthodox
way;
The only trouble that I can see, is
that which will be encountered in the
storing of the cottpn seed. For the
smallest mill will consume 500 pounds
of seed cotton per day, which isl50,000
per annum. For two months it could
work on seed brought from the field.
It will need the storing of 125,000 of
seed cottcn. This cannot be stored too
closely and is dangerous ftom fire expos
nre. If it is.stored while moist, it will
mould or ferment. Those now using-
the mills have no trouble with the seed
cotton. They have lost none by fire or
spoiling, but this mnst be carefully
looked iuto. I should think large burns
fashioned after the Virginia tobacco
houses will be built to meet this want.
The question of capital is a small one,
for the 125,000 pounds can be bought
at 3 cents a pound— 83,750. This capi
tal is not for a year, but. commences to
return at once, and so comes bnck every
month. Besides, where a community
of farmers is interested, each one can
contribute four or fire bales of cotton to
the general fund. The great trouble

The best story of the Cabul massacre
is the following, taken down from, the
lips of one of the survivors and furnished
to tli6 Standard. Says the writer:
“T have just had a long: conversation
with one of Sir Louis Cavagnari’s ser
vants who escaped; he and three others
are, so far as is known, the isole survi
vors of the hideous massacre, of which
doubtless you have been already inform.:-
ed by wire. The particulars of the
occurence are as follows.* At about
half-past seven A. M. on the 2d,
crowds of armed Afghan soldiery were
perceived rushing towards the Residen
cy Sir Louis Cavagnari must haveex-
pected something, as he ordered all the
Sowars inside, aud had the gates closed.
Soon a mob of about four thousand
men had collected, The gate was bro
ken down, and in a few seconds the
Sowars, though they fought nobly,
were borne down by numbers and
massacred to a man. A few soldiers,
witn tbe four white men, met the as
sault of the infuriated throng, who,
wild with fanaticism and the exultation
of feeling their prey in their grasp,
swarmed to the attack. No flinching,
no wild firing was .to be seen in the
gallant little band that met and repell
ed the attack. Again an.l again did
the Afghans, like a recurr ng wave,
forced on by tbe pressure of those be
hind, vainly essay to win their way into
the house. Each .effort bat increased
the heap of slain that fast, accumnlated
ronnd the house. Cowed by the recep
tion, they withdrew to the cover availa
ble from walls and honses, and from
their ’vantage ground poured a hail of
lead into every opening in the building.
Gallant Hamilton, so lately adorned
with the Victoria cross adorned it with
bis heroic bravery. He exposed “him
self undauntedly to the hottest fire) for
a time he seemed to bear a charmed
life bnt at length a ballet pierced Tiis
heart, and he, fighting nobly, fell. Dr,
Kelly ran to his aid, and a belief speed
ily laid him low, too. - Jenkyns was
the next to fall Cavagnari, still un
hurt, cheered on the gradually lessening ma n’ & estate, the recollection of this
band: his presence inspisedalU. .Cheer- jbqxcame back to him. He sent it to
as said before, there is less danger in
this than in .storing tobacco, and it will
be overcome, I predict, very rapidly.
A FBW WOBDS IN CLOSING.
The above is given as the result of
observation and persistent question
ing.
I have no sort of doubt th At the Cle-
mei.t attachment is destined to be the
great lever that will lift the South. I
have no sort of doubt "that out of one
hundred planted nt random through the
country ninety-five would pay enor
mous dividends. I have no sort of
doubt that where five are in operation
there will bcL five hundred in the next
ten years,
But I may be mistaken. Let, there

“A surging throng filled the room
where Cavagnari, a jemander and three

spoke three times the death knell of as
many Afghans, and then a blow from a

murderer did not long survive; with
one blow of his sabre the jemander
swept off his head. A few more such
blows be made and then lay beside his

of the tale to me; he bid in a bath.
The roof was .sow blazing, a part had

ROMANCE OF A WILL-
About twenty five years ago, in Prince
George connty, Maryland, there lived
two brothers who were very rich, very
charitable and very proud. ; hey were
both, supposed to be bachelors. A short
time before the war, however, they both
died within a few days of each other.
One of them left a will, and from this
doenment it was discovered that lie had
children liv : ng. All of bis property
went to these children, although they
were generally supposed to be iilegiji
mate. They put in a claim for tbe
property of the other biother,’ hut their
claim was disputed by a cousin of the
dead brothers, who basod his right to
thn property oh the ground that he
was nearest of kin, claiming, of course,
that the children who received the
property of one of the brothers were il
legitimate. A long, tedious and expen
sive litigation ensued, in which some of
the ablest lawyers of tbe country were
engaged. At length the children, when
reduced to poverty by the lawsuit, dis
covered in Europe the priest who bad
performed the marriage ceremony be
tween their father and mother. Their
mother had been tbeir father’s house
keeper for many years, and until his
death, , had oontinned to act in that ca
pacity. By the testimony of the priest^
the children proved tbeir legitimacy,
and, of course, got their nnck-’s prop
erty. Now comes the strangest part of
the story. When the bachelor brother
died he left his papers in J the hands of
his lawyer. Before the commencement
of the war this lawyer was called away
to the South on business. He left
box of papers with his office boy to be
delivered to tbe person to whom it was
addressed in case of failure to return.
The war came on-, the lawyer enlisted in
the Southern aimy and was killed in ODe
of the first engagements. The boy re
tained possession of tbe box, but for

A Confederate Relic.
[D.-tn tiUe (Va.t Post.]
A Confederate cap machine lias been
found in Danville in some old rnbbisb,
all complete, bill very rusty, and has
no doubt been laying in its present-
place ever since tbe war. This machine
was invented by. Mr. W. H. Wash, of
this connty. In May. 1861, Mr. Wash
was in Bicbmoxd, where he found the
Government had engaged a Mr. Debow,
a Northern man, to supply it in musket
caps, that were in great demand. De
bow asked Wash down in the arsenal,
and while looking at it, Wash remarked
that he could make a better machine,
and a Gen. Dimmock standing by re
plied that it was desirable he should do
so. He went to Lynchburg, and there
in the Phoenix foundery, with A. Dab
ney & -Son, iu twenty-two days' time be
had produced a cap machine that would
make 30,000 good caps m ten hours.
This he took to Richmond and sold it
to the Government for 815,000. He
returned 16 Lynchburg and .made an
other machine, a g> eat improvement on
bis first, whose capacity was 80,000 caps
per day of ten honrs. This ha sold for
$3,000. Shortly after be made the
third Machine, which would make 12.-
000 caps per hour different sizes of
caps, and it was placed in tbe aisenal
under Gen. Diminock’ssuper'.i :oa. The
Yankee papers at- the time pronounced
it “a big Confederate lie.” On th'eevac-
nation of Rich mend Mr. Wash was or
dered to Lynchburg with t hese ma< h’ nos,
five of them, and this last, the 12,000
per hour machine, was loaded on a two-
horse wagon and taken throngh the
coaniry to Lynchburg, and thence to
this city, where it has been ever since.
It is, perhaps one of the most prom
inent relics in the South of the late
unpleasantness.

in the early days of Kansas it was ensj
tomary, owing to the scarcity of timber,
for the poorer class of settlers to make
their houses in the ground, gen
erally on the side of a hill or slope, if
(heir claim afforded sneh. This state
ment may at first thought seem absurd:
bnt it is a fact well known to those who
have traveled through the West. Intel
ligent and well-educated people, who
from one cause or another incident to a
lifetime, -had become reduced in circum
stances, were not unfrequently met with
living in those “dngonts” with ns much
comfort nnd ease as many of their for
mer associates in mnch costlier homes
in'(he East. Much depended on the
‘muscle, ingenuity, nnd taste of the
builder whether his home looked like a
woodchuck hole or a human habitation.
In one of these “dngonts” a certain
wealthy hotel proprietor iu Kansas first
commenced business as a caterer to the
public. His patrons were cuttle herders,
Mexican “greasers,” and railroad labor
ers, who were content with the simple
fare he set before them. His bJiel’eon-
tuiued two rooms—the “uugont” aud
the “boundless prairie.” In tbe
former was kept the cooking ntensils,
store, etc., and-tbe latter served ar bis
bed-rooms, “I have a million rooms,”
he would say---’room enough for the
whole world, and a plenty to eat as long
us tbe bnffalc and titer lust.” Bis cus
tomers, though a rough class,paid tbeir
bills promptly, which enabled him in a
few montha to lay the foundation of quite
a respectable hotel. A thriving town
grew np around him; and, as money
continued to come, he mode additional
attractions, till to-day he enjoys the pat
ronage of as fine a class of travelers us
visit the West.
