W KDNKSDW MORNING, Tl'G IST 1.
Tlie Convention Saturday.
A meeting of Delegates from a portion
of the counties composing tlie sth Congres
sional District was held at the City Hall in
this place Saturrday. Delegate-were in
attendance from six counties, and the pro
ds dings were characterized by great pru
dence and caution.
1 telega tes were suggested for the State
at large, and Hon. Linton A. Stephens and
Hen. A. It. Wright appointed delegates to
represent this District in the Philadelphia
(Convention, with lion. Jas. S. Hook and
I >r. 11. It. Casey as alternates. We think
the meeting yesterday acted wisely- in leav
ing their delegation free from any particu
lar instructions as to the course they shall
pursue in Philadelphia. There can he hut
on : question raise ! in that Convention,
which the South c-an consistently engage
in di.«eussing. That question is the imme
diate admission of the Southern Repre
sentatives and Senators in Congress. This
is the only issue now before the people in
which the South can consent to take any
part. Let our Delegates confine their ef
forts to this point alone, and there will he
no possibility of getting us into entangling
alliance with any party or section.
The recommendation made of delegates
fur the State at large meets our hearty ap
proval. There are many reasons which
make this selection peculiarly appropriate
now. Two of the gentlemen selected are
Senators elect from this State in the U. S.
Senate. They have begn denied admit
tance there, on account of the part they
took in the late war. The people of the
South have been told that they arc Rebels
still, and that their presence in the Nation
al Legislature would he dangerous to the
Union. By sending them to Philadelphia,
they will have an opportunity of laying
hare to the Northern mind, their own and
the feelings and sentiments of the great
ltody of the Southern people. We feel as
sured that if the true condition of public
sentiment here was known at the North,
that the schemes and plans of the Radicals
would be repudiated and contemned. The
opportunity for doing this is now offered,
and it will he our fault ifwodonot improve
it to our advantage.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
The Legislature of Georgia, at its last
session, passed an act to establish, at
some suitable place in this State, an Insti
tution for the protection!, support and edu
cation of orphan children, to be styled the
‘Georgia .State Orphan Home.’ which
shall be the property of the State.
In pursuance of directions contained in
the act, the Governor has appointed "a
Building Committee of three, whose duty
it shall he to select and purchase, or re
ceive by donation, at some suitable place,
a site or piece of land adapted to the pur
pose. and to superintend the erection there
on, of a suitable building or buildings lor
the - purposes above recited, planned, in
proportion to the amount of funds which
may be appropriated and set apart, or re
ceived by gift for that purpose, and with a
view to the convenience of future extension
and improvements.”
In pursuance of the act the Governor
has also appointed “a Board of. Trustees,
to consist of nine (9) whose duty.it shall be.
Ist, to take charge of, and hold in trust, all
property and claims of whatever kind, .both
real and personal, belonging to said insti
tution, in the name of‘ the State, and to
use the same for the benefit of said institu
tion, and for the promotion of the objects
for which it is established. 2d. To hold
in trust all donations intended for endow
ments, from benevolent persons or societies,
and to invest and use the same as may be
directed by the donors respectively. Pro
valid, That when no direction is given by
the donor, the Trustees may invest in such
stocks, bonds, real estate, &c., as they may
deem best, with the advice and consent of
the Governor. 4(1. To bring suit in their
names, for any claim the institution may
have, whether arising from contract or tort.
4. To prescribe all the rules and regula
tions for the government of the institution,
and for the reception of children, not in
conflict with the laws of this State. sth.
To appoint all the officers, point out their
duties, and fix their salaries, and to re
move from office when the incumbents fail
to properly discharge their duties, or are
guilty of immoral or unfaithful conduct.
Oth. To make to the Governor at the end
of each fiscal year an accurate and full re
port of the operations and condition of the
institution, and of the receipts and dis
bursements for the same.”
A majority of the Trustees appointed,
assembled ori the 18th instant, at Macon,
and organized for business. The proceed
ings, in detail, were ordered to be furnish
ed for publication in the newspapers of the
State.
Rev. 11. if. Tucker, of Atlanta, was
elected President of the Board of Trus
tees.
Rev. Wayman 11. Potter, of Augusta,
was elected Vice-President.
Rev. Wm. Flynn, of Milledgeville, was
'elected Secretary and Treasurer.
The undersigned was appointed to pre
pare and publish an address to the people
of Georgia, setting forth the nature and
purposes of the institution—its claims up
on t lie good will and support of the citizens
of Georgia, and asking «uch information
and assistance as will best promote the ob
jects of this noble charity.
The great civil war that was brought to
a disastrous close last year, in the down
fall of the Confederate cause, entailed
some sacred obligations upon the survivors
of that sanguinary struggle. The heroes
who sleep in their bloody shrouds have
completed their work. The sons of Geor
gia who fell in the front of battle, or drop
ped by the wayside, overcome by wounds
and sickness, or perished in camp and hos
pital have done their full share to give our
noble State a proud name and place in his
tory. Their surviving comrades, who
faithfully shared the toils and sufferings
of the camp, the bivouac, tlio march and
the battle —many of whom carry on their
persons the scars ofhononiblc service—have
equally contributed to the fame of Georgri.
The public service is not alone glorious
when rendered in the field. Patriotic self
sacrifice is not alone noble when displayed
at the cannon’s mouth. It is not alone by
feats of arms a State builds up a reputa
tion for greatness. It is not alone by high
courage and heroic fortitude her sons can
show their readiness to contribute to her
name and fame. The character of a State
is to be estimated by the manner in which
her people discharge every duty, civil and
military—by the influence a proper sense
of social and moral obligation exercises
upon the general conduct —by the fruits
that spring from these convictions. The
character of a State is to ho estimated by
her arts, not. loss than her arms—by her
great enterprises and public works. The
heart of her people speaks in her benevo
lent Schemes and her charitable institu
tions.
Thus far the people of Georgia have
nobly borne every test. While her soldiers
in the field displayed all the elements of
heroism, whether by courage amidst dan
ger or uncomplaining fortitude amidst pri
vation, her people at home were lavish of
their substance, and in tlicir labors, for
the common cause. The women, especially,
by their pure aspirations—by their noble
self-denial —by their charitable toils —by
their over-active sympathies, giving all
their hearts and hands and prayers to the
cause—have furnished to the common his
tory pages lustrous with the light of purest
virtue, and established an imperishable
claim to the admiration and homage of all
good men.
The war has ended, but its ending is but
the beginning of new duties. More sacrifi
ces are to be made. More labors are to be
performed. More money is to be contri
buted. They are necessary results of the
war. They are not less sacredly binding
because the Confederate flag was cloven
down by superior force, and Southern
wealth has been swept away in the devasta
ting storm.
Among the sacred duties entailed upon
you, people of Georgia, is the care and
mainntenance of the orphans made desti
tute and helpless by this war. First in
precedence of this unfortunate class, are
helpless and destitute orphans of the sol
diers of Georgia who fell in the cause of
Southern Independence. This duty is
frankly recognized by vou in the action of
the last Legislature. To stimulate you to
some practical action in this, your lino of
duty, is the object of this address
Three leading objects are here aimed at.
First, to exhort every good citizen in
every position, and in every vocation, to
interest himself in this cause —to discuss it
in his family and among his neigh
bors and triends, and urge their
co-operation in the good work. Es-1
pecially is it desired to enlist the holy
sympathies, the kind words and wishes,
and the prayers of the women of Georgia
for the success of the State Orphan Home.
In the happy home circles, and amidst
scenes of festivity—in the marts of trade—
in the contests of the forum and in t ; e
halls of science, alike as in the lone spots
of suffering and poverty, where helpless
orphanage pines fora crust —let the voice
of charity be heard. Let the busy thought
pause in its earger pursuit, whether of
pleasure or business, to contemplate the
pr> 'blom, what Georgia owes at this ttto
| men to her orphan children, and to her
i own just time. Let the Pulpit and the
: Press bring their potent energies to boar
upon this great problem.
.Second, to elicit information—specific,
detailed and classified information—as to
the number and condition of the children
the benevolence ot the State is designed to
reach. It is desirable to get information
! from each couuty in Georgia on the follow
ing points :
1. The number, age and sex of destitute
| orphans who have lost both parents.
A* The number. a«e and sex of destitute
orphans who have lost a father or mother,
(specifying which parent)
3. The number, ago and sex of destitute
orphans of deceased Confederate soldiers,
who perished in the war. or have died
since from wounds and sickness contracted
during the war.
4. The number, age and sex of destitute
children of living soldiers, disabled by
wounds or sickness while in Confederate
service.
5. The names of the fathers of these
children, with the company and regiment,
brigade and division in which each served,
and to which he belonged at the time he
was killed or disabled.
G. The number, age and sex of children
of “indigent and distressed parents who
are unable to support them.”
| Third. To invite correspondence and
co-operation from all citizens who take an
interest in this grcatcharity, and give prac
! tieal aid in any Way in carrying out the
: purposes of the Legislature.
Fourth. To invite donations of money
and property to the State Orphan 1 lome.
The evident purpose of the Legislature
j is in due time to make the requisite appro
! priation to establish the State Orphan
! Home on a foundation solid and eternal as
her granite hills, and on a scale of liberality
commensuratc with the necessities of the
case and the dignity of the State.
It will doubtless comport with the gener
ous wishes of her citizens, that the Orphan
Home shall be a worthy monument of grat
itude toiler heroic sons. It will equally
comport with the enlightened sense of jus-
I ticc of her legislators, that this Home
should he erected as some slight compen
sation to the children rendered destitute by
the results of a policy, culminating in a
civil war, which the matured judgment
of the most trusted men of Georgia sanc
tioned, and the State formally adopted.
But it will take time to carry out these
benevolent intentions on the scale
contemplated. The Commission ap
pointed to fix upon a location have
yet to make their report to the Legislature.
This will be some months hence. The ap
propriations are then to be made for the
erection of suitable buildings. It will take
y-ears, perhaps, before these buildings will
be completed. In the meantime, these
destitute children are suffering. To them,
time is of v ital importance. To some, it is
doubtless now a question, from day to day,
of bread and of physical existence. To all,
it involves considerations of social comfort,
of moral training, of education, and of re
ligious instruction. Under any circum
stances, ,it must require, first and last,
large sums of money ; for the number of
destitute children is most formidable. The
State, with all her resources as a body
politic, is financially much crippled by the
war. There are many other claims on her
benevolence. There is need, therefore,
and instant need, of all the liberality which
her citizens can individually extend to this
noble charity. The Trustees are organized,
and the Board is ready to put the work in
motion as soon as funds, however, small in
amount, are contributed. They would be
glad to begin at once, if the means sup
plied enabled them only to rent the most
1 humble tenement and to place the smallest
! group of destitue orphans beneath its shel
ter. Even from such small 'beginnings
have sprung some of the noblest institu
tions of charity in Christendom.
True, this appeal is made to an im
poverished people, staggering painfully
under heavy pecuniary burthens, whose
fields were but recently laid waste, and her
towns, villages and hamlets blackened by
the scourge of war. But though so many
of her benevolent citizens have been ruined,
whose hands, in the days of their affluence,
“were open as the day to melting charity-,”
yet some among them were fortunate.
Some wholly or partially escaped the gen
eral devastation. To some public spirited
citizens a little yet remains with, which to
gratify their liberal impmlses.
People of Georgia—the work is now
with y-ou in j-our individual capacities.
AYho will lead the way ? Who will make
the first contribution ? As yet, the Geor
gia State Orphan Home exists but on
paper. To the first contributor will belong
the honor of converting into form and sub
stance _ this shadowy unreality—of practi
cally giving
“to airy nothing,
A local habitation and a name.”
The first stone is yet to be laid of that
great charity, the Georgia State Orphan
Home, which is destined to outlive the
Pyramids, and be a grander monument.—
The latter speak only of physical power —
the aggregate of the muscular labor of
millions of serfs —their involuntary tribute
to the vain pomp of long-forgotten kings,
But the Georgia State Orphan Home will
speak to all coming ages a people’s grati
tude to her martyred dead. Its founda
tion is laid deep and broad in the popular
heart. It must rise, slowly and amidst
many difficulties; but surely and in majestic
proportion. Stone by stone, and year after
year, it will tower up towards Heaven. As
time progresses, the children it lias shel
tered will become men and women, and it
is hoped, by its benign influences, educated
and intelligent men and women, swelling
the aggregate of virtuous industry. These
will contribute in grateful words and libe
ral acts to its means of usefulness, and thus
will it grow stronger from generation to
generation.
The aid of county officers is especially
invoked to obtain the statistical informa
tion here called for. Through the Receiv
ers of Tax Returns, the Collectors of Tax
es, the Ordinaries, and the Clerks of Courts,
and through such local agencies as the
.Jnotices of the Inferior Courts may em
ploy, this information can be obtained.
All who feel disposed in any way to co
operate with the Trustees in this work, are
requested to address Rev. AA r m. Fly-un,
Secretary and Treasurer, Milledgeville,
Ga. 11 eis authorized to receive all dona
tions and communications.

crops.
The abstract of crop returnsfor July just
issued from the Department of Agriculture
shows the prospect of a year of average
fruitfulness. The present indications, as
marked by thousands of correspondents of
the department point to an average of
about eight and a half tenths of an average
crop in quantity of wheat, of a quality that
will make it equal in value to last year’s
crop. The testimony from all quarters
renders it certain that, the quality will be
excellent. The showing is much more
favorable than in the June report. Winter
barley is in very nearly the same condition
as the wheat. The oat crop has been un
usually good—almost beyond precedent.
The condition of the pastures is generally
above the average. With the exception
of Maine and New Hampshire, every
State- reports a greater breadth of corn
than usual. A somewhat diminished average
of sorghum is indicated. There is nearly an
average bredth of flax. In every State
more potatoes than usual were planted,
which promise better than usual. The
prospect for apples is not as good as usual,
and no fruit upou the list makes so poor
a showing as peaches.
Rev. Wm. Jeff. Spears has furnished us
with the following report:
Having thrashed the wheat this season
upon seventy farms. I find that 21 bushels
to 1 sown, with few exceptions, has been
the yield of the majority of the crops—a
few yielding 5, while at least one third was
I find the crop of corn and cotton, gen
erally, about two-thirds the amount usual
ly planted. Os that one third for want of
culture, will not make, with favorable
seasons, more than one third of a crop ;
with the present drought, it cannot
make one tenth. One third for the same
reasoncannet yield more than half a crop ;
while the other third is well cultivated.
I therefore conclude that it will be impos
sible to reap more than one third to one
halt the usual crop.
The Cincinnati Gazette learns that wheat
on the sandy soil in the vicinity of Colum
bus. Edinburg and Jonesville, Indiana, is
much better than wa- expected, and many
farmers have cut a full average crop. The
grain is well filled, and will make excellent
flour. The pospeet for corn in that region
was never better. — Tie |( 'ovingtonE xam

Congressional, «vc.
Washington. July 26. —AA’hen the cre
dentials of Patterson, of Tennessee, were
read in the Senate, Sumner moved their
reference to the Judiciary Committee,
with instructions to inquire whether he
could take the oath. Sumner said he was
Judge under the Confederate Government,
and therefore disqualified. After consid
erable discussion, the motion was agreed to.
The Seuate confirmed Gen. Sherman to
Lieutenant-General, vice Grant promoted ;
aud Rear-Admiral Porter as A ice-Admi
ral, vice Farragut promoted.
The President sent a message to the
House, enclosing a communication from
Secretary Seward, in reference to the ap
plication to the British Government for
the release of Fenians, and also, as to the
discharge of those indicted in the United
States. The matter has been referred to
the Attorney General, and it is probable
that they will not be prosecuted.
A resolution passed employing Miss
Minnie Ream to execute a life size statue
of Lincoln, for which she is to be paid ten
thousand dollars.
A bill passed granting lands to a Com
pany to build a Railroad from Missouri
and Arkansas to the Pacific coast, about
the line 35th parallels.
The House made awards to the captors
of Booth and Harrold, giving Col. Conger
$13,000, and cutting down detective Colonel
Baker’s to $3,750. Stevens said that Ba
ker made more money out of the war than
any one else, and he was opposed to giving
him anything.
Banks’ resolution modifying the neutral

AVasiiington, July 20. —A Board of
Officers has been appointed by tlie Com
missioner on Freedmen affairs, for the pur
pose of revising regulations for the govern
ment of Bureau, and to meet requirements
of the recent act of Congress, extending
duration of the Bureau two years. Gens.

Resignation of Secretary Harlan—.. Jeffe
rson Davis and ilie Assassination Plot.
Washington, July 27.—Mr. Harlan,
this afternoon, in a brief but courteous note
to the President, resigned his office as Sec
retary- of the Interior.
The Senate passed a bill for the admis
sion of Nebraska. Also, a joint resolution
so modifying the test oath as to permit
Senator Patterson, of Tennessee, to take
his seat. This requires the concurrence of
the House.
Tlie House disagreed to the Senate
amendment of the Civil Appropriation bill,
appropriating $1,500,000 for repairing the
Mississippi levees; also, by- a large majori
ty, voted down the proposition to increase
the salaries of members of Congress from
$3,000 to $5,000.
The House Judiciary Committee made a
report today relative to the alleged com
plicity of Jefferson Davis in the assassina
tion of President Lincoln ; wherein they
state it is notorious that the said Davis is
guilty of the crime of treason, according
to the Constitution and laws of tlie United
States, and the Committee are of the
opinion that there are ’no obstacles toa
speedy and impartial trial, which can be
removed by legislation. The evidence in
the possession of the Committee, connect
ing Jefferson Davis in tlie assassination of
President Lincoln justifies the Committee
iu saying that there is probable
cause to believe that he was privy to
the measures which led to the com
mission of the deed, but the investigations
which have been made by the AVar De
partment and tlie Committee have not re
sulted in placing the Government in pos
session of all the facts in the case. It is
probable, however, that the further prose
cution of tlie investigation by the Com
mittee, and the officers of the Government,
will result finally in the full development,
of i»ie whole transaction. The capture of
the rebel archives has put the Government
in possession of a mass of papers, letters,
and documents, of various kinds, only a
a portion of which has as yet been exam
ined.

Both Houses-remnined in session all
night.
In the House, this morning, Stevens
made a speech on the bill introduced by
him lately, to restore the States to their
proper relations in the Union, in which lie
advocates the principles heretofore set
down by him with regard to equal rights,
and declaring in favor of giving negroes
the same privileges as whites.
The civil and miscellaneous appropria
tion bill after a long struggle by the Con
ference Committee, was concurred in, the
vote on adopting this report being very
close. It increases the compensation of
members, and lias appended to it tlie bill
equalizing bounties. Patterson was ad
mitted to a seat in the Senate this morn
ing on taking tlie prescribed oath of office.
The House last night, by a large niajori
ty, refused to modify tlie test oath in his
favor. A bill for tlie admission of Nebras
ka, passed the House, and goes to tlie
President for approval. Defrees has been
removed from tlie position of public prin
ter. and General Steedman apppointed to
that office.

AYasiiington. July 28. —Gen. Dix has
been confirmed as Minister to the Hague.
Air. Eogers, of New Jersey submitted a
report this morning in the House, as a
minority of the Judiciary C ommittee in the
case of Mr. Jefferson Davis. He takes the
ground that much of the testimony before
tlie Committee, tending to connect Air.
Davis with the assassination plot, was false,
and that lie should have a preliminary
hearing, to which every man is entitled.
In the Senate, this morning, a resolution
was passed, after Constitutional discussion,
granting the use of a recently erected
wooden building, on Pennsylvania avenue,
in this city, for any lawful purpose, but

FROM SAVANNAH.
The Cholera at Tybee.
The Savannah Ileralcto? the 27th say-s
that there has been admitted into the
Quarantine Hospital at Tybee, from the
18th to the 26th inst., one hundred and
twenty patients, one hundred and ten of
which arc cholera eases, and the remainder
remittent and typhoid. Out of this num
ber fifty-five have died, thirteen of whom
were found dead on the adjacent islands,
where they had perished in their vain at
tempts to escape the plague.
It is believed that about twelve more
have died in tlie marshes or were drowned
in their attempts to swim the river. The
number of deserters has been greatly ex
agerated, as many have returned of their
own accord. On Tuesday there were
seventeen deaths, and'on AVeduesday four
teen.
The total number of deaths for the
twehty-four hours ending at twelve o’clock
yesterday, were twelve, and twenty-two
new cases reported.
This detachment consisted of four hun
dred and seventy-three recruits for the 7tli
U. S. Infantry, now stationed in the dis
trict of Floridu.
The Revolution in Ilnytl.
The Boston Traveler has additional in
formation relative to the movement in
Hayti against the Government of President
Geffrard. The following extracts from
mercantile letters give all the additional
information thus far received:
Port au Prince, July 9.—Another rev
olution broke out on the sth inst. The
seat of war this time is in Gonaives, which
was immediately taken by the insurgents,
and from what we hear, the entire plain of
the Artobinite must be now in their hands.
St. Marc, however, still holds out for tlie
Government of Geffrard. From the North
above Gonaives, we of course hear nothing,
but it appears that this affair is rather
more serious than any other yet. AVe hear
rumor upon rumor, but can scarcely at
present say anything reliable.
later.
r The following is a postscript of a letter
from a mercantile friend in Port au Prince,
dated July 9. It was probably but a ru
mor prevailing in the capital:
“Ave have just heard that the rebels
have been beaten back by the St. Marc
people (probably the Government troops is
meant), and the leader killed. Also, that
the house and stores of J. B. Daprey, of
Gonaives, have been plundered. ’ ’
Still another letter says that Geffrard s
commander at Gonaives was obliged to
take reiuge at the office of the French Con
sul.
A gentleman just from Hayti says that
the Island at present is in a wretched con
dition, with business in great part at a
stand still.
Maury is in Paris tlying to sell his tor
pedo to Louis Napolon.

REVIEW OF TilK AllilSTA MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY 28TH, 1866.
[Tt should he home in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
hills, to J'hmters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS.—Since our last review this
section lias been visited by refreshing
showers, and crops have assumed a much
more cheering aspect. Corn, on high, gray
lands, was too far gone to derive much
benefit from rains, but on clay soils, and
especially on low lands which were plant
ed late, there is yet a fair prospect. Cotton,
which was almost a month later than usual,
has been injured less than Corn, and with
a favorable fall, may make something like
a third of a crop in this part of the State.
Trade has been quiet during the week,
with, few new features worthy of note.
Very little new wheat has come to market.
The drought, which threatened to ruin the
corn crop, lias, doubtless, induced those
who may have a surplus to hold on to it,
but it is not believed that tliero will be
much wheat for sale within reach of this
market.
The steady spirit of improvement to
which wo referred a few weeks ago, is
manifest in the erection of new stores, and
warehouses, and in general repairs and
renovations. One of our builders assures
us that there is more evidence of solid ad
vancement in Augusta than he lias known
formally years. Rents are 30 to 50 per
cent, higher than last year, and the demand
for stores and houses is quite extraordin
ary.
COTTON.—At the close of our last re
view, our market closed with a good de
mand at the following quotations;
Low Middling : 2S@—
Middling 29@30
Strict Middling 31(<i) —
Good Middling 32® —
These have been the prevailing rates dur
ing tlio week, the steamer’s news having
littlo or no effect bn tlio market. Wo hear
of some transactions at slightly higher
rates, but do not feel authorized to change
tlio quotations.

WRIGHT’S
PATENT IMPROVED
Iron Screw!
FOR
PACKING COTTON.
THE attention of cotton
I PLANTERS Is invited to the claims of this invention,
wnfch, in SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY, DURABILITY and
POWER, surpasses any machine for Baling Cotton ever
before presented to the country. Its great excellence in these
respects makes it
THE BEST MACHINE
FOR PACKING COTTON
IN THE WORLD I
1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It is anew and improved applica
tion of the Screw Power; just as simple in its construction as
the old fashioned wooden screw, as easily managed, and no
more liable to get out of order. No ropes or puiliesas used
in the cotton presses.
2. ITS ECONOMY.—It has been demonstrated by actual
experiment to be cheaper than the wooden screw. The tim
bers used in its construction are much smaller and fewer than
those employed in the old screw ; the levers being only Id feet
long, and the height of the whole frame aliove the bed being
only 10 feet. All these timbers can be procured on the plan
tation, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any ordinary
wood workman can build the frame, and half a dozen hands
will put it up in a few hours.
3. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and Nut are of iron,
and will last for years without any appreciable wear. The
whole machine occupies so little space that it can be com
pletely covered ut very small cost.
J. ITS POWER. Wit )i a lever only sixteen feet long, one
mule is sufficient for Hacking the heaviest bales. Planters
who have used it say tnat, with two mules, cotton may ho
compressed on this machine for shipment.
This Screw was invented just before the opening of the war,
and has subsequently never been very generally introduced.
Those who hove used it and seen it used, unanimously' concur
in the opinion that it is
UNRIVALLED AS A COTTON SCREW.
The following testimonials from some of the best and most
reputable planters in the country show the estimate in which
this Screw stands with those who have tried it :
We have used and seen in operation for the last five years,
Wright's Improved Cotton Iron Screw, and feel no hesitation
in pronouncing it the very best Cotton Screw we have ever
known. So highly do we esteem it, that, if practicable to ob
tain one or them, we would have no other. It is easily built,
simple in its construction, not liable to get out of order, packs
well, with great power and with great facility.
