The *cminer .Solstice Rages.
Tn spite of repeat"d rains, and continual
effort- at getting up a bri/*z<, tin- weather
continues piping hot; the air like the

••Air-t.inc Eagle.’’
On- of the neat* st and best conducted
of our country exchanges is th Air-Lint
Eagh, published in Gainesville, Hall coun
ty. This sterling journal ha*- a large and
increasing circulation in Northeastern G ir
gia. and offers inducements as a valuable '
adv* ng tin diuni. whi-h on-- merchants
will find it to their interest to avail them- :
selves of’. In looking over it, last issue, i
we were surprised to find that while the :
Atlanta merchants have freely advertised i
their wares, not a single advertisement ap

He Moderate.
Tt is stated that not a single member of
tlie Father Mathew Temperance Society in
New York has bad the cholera. This is
considered a strong argument in support
of habits of prudence and temperance. It j
is hi'Uevod that moderation in eating and j
drinking is of more benefit as a protcetton
again-; disease tlian any amount of modi- ,
cal advice or doctors' prescriptions. Many
fatal cases of disease that have lately oc
curred have, no doubt, been owing to the
ihct that they were 100 free in their style of
living. Inordinate indulgent* of any kind '
makes the body a prey to disease, and :
there never was a more appropriate time I
than the present to practice moderation i
in everyUimg relating to diet.
A Substitute tor an lee Hitcher.
A w l iter who has tried it, says that people
who have no ice pitchers will be glad to 1
know that there is a very simple method of j
keeping ino- water fora long time in a .m
--moil jiiu lier. Bet \tui-u two slice oi'papei
place a layer of cotton baiting about a half
mi iri' hin thickness, nnrt form a <•*.iin.ler
by fastening tilt! ends of the paper and bat
ting together. Then MOW or paste a crown
on one end, so as to make a box the shape
of a stove-pipe hat, minus the rim. Tlie
cylinder should ho made large enough to
goentiroly over the pitcher, so that the
open end will rest upon tire table or side
board, and thus exclude the air. Auy one
trying this simple method of keeping ice
water cool will he astonished at the length
of time it will preserve the coldness of the
water.
Export** <>l Porcelain,
it may not he known to most of our
readers, that the beds of porcelain clay,
lying a few miles from this city, on the
< 'arollna side, arc affording a considerable
Item for exportation. Mr. Holman, of this
city, who holds the lease of a valuable bed
t’f Ibis clay, has, during the last few
months, shipped about one hundred tons
to New York to he used by the potters of
that section. It is declared equal to the
finest Knglish or French day. The great
barrier in the way of shipping almost an
unlimited quantity, is the high freights. '
The charge, we believe is $5 per ton, and
the shippers here have been notified that l
if it cannot lie shipped nt sll, Its use will lie
abandoned, as it cannot ho sold in com
petition with oilier clays, and pay the
present, transportation. Wo do not doubt i
that our railroads, when the facts are pre
sented to them, will put their charges at
the lowest possible figure. Every dollar
thus derived from the mineral wealth of the 1
country is a direct gain to our productive i
resources, which now need every possible
degree of encouragement.
The St. leads Southern Relief Fair.
Wo desire to call the attention of our
people again to tlie proposed fair in St.
• Louis on tlie last of September. The ladies
of that city are determined to make it the
event of the season. They have already
received assurances of support and assist
ance from tlie leading cities of the West
and South, and are daily in receipt OT
valuable contributions from theliherul and
benevolent citizens of Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee, and other Western Stales. —
They ask eoiitribntions of money, dry
goods, hardware, provisions, fancy articles
and relies. II is particularly desired that
liberal contributions of Southern manu
factures should ho sent. In this con
nection we are pleased to learn that the
Augusta and Uranitoville factories have
already' promised valuable aid.
We urge upon those of our citizens who
feel able to do so to contribute liberally to
this praiseworthy effort. Our young friend
('apt. .1. W. Wallace, of the firm of W. 11.
Wai r> n A Cos., has kindly consented to
receive such contributions as our people
can make, and will forward them to St.
Louis. The Southern Express Company
will also receive and forward all articles
sent to them for the fair.
Messrs.‘ lelilors .---Having occasion a few
days ago to visit friends, Ac., in the dower
jiarl ot'tlio county, I jv;w compelled to go
out on winvt is usually denominated the
Louisville lioad. The road, I say it to the
credit of tin* proper county officers, does
very well in most places; but 1 would
most respeetfiilly call their attention to
that part ol' the road lying between the
lltli and 12th mile posis, running through
the land of Mr. T. Sitnont. Tins “clever
Dutchman'' has fallen large pine tret's
across the main bed of the road, and cut
through the woods n very narrow way—
not sufficient for vehicles to pass each
other. Persons coming or going are com
pelled te wait some time for the lirst ve
hicle that enters the cut to got through ere
tiie other can proceed. It has already
caused serious annoyance, and may lead
to more serious consequences. Mr. simont
has boon remonstrated with, but the only
satisfaction you can get is the reply:
“ Mine Got, I'se got plemtec ofmonish, and
py dam l don’t care!" Would it not be
well for the inferior Court to look into the
mattei ? Traveler.
Interesting to Travelers.
We learn that arrangements hav e recent
-1 v bedt entered into between the Georgia
and South Carolina Railroads, and the
Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, of
North (.’arul'nin, by which through passen
ger trains will be run daily between Atlan
ta and Wilmington. Passengers, baggage
and mails will be carried daily Between,
these points, without change of cars. The
most luxurious sleeping ears, built ex-
pressly for this line, are on these trains.
1 iie ears are both day and night ears, and
pa~s, ngers need not change their seats from
Atlanta to Wilmington, and have no
trouble about baggage or transfers. Pas
sengers going North, and taking this route
aid going up the Chesapeake Bay, do not
lest ,uy nights rest from Atlanta to New
York, or even Boston. Through tickets
are s. i ■ Atlanta, Augusta, or any oilier
point on the route. The arrangement
commenced August 4th, and is a step for
ward in railroad enterprise w hich we are
much gratified to notice. Wo hope this
ufort on the part of these old and favorite
toads, to add to the comfort of the travel
ing public will result in a fair share of
travel on the line. The connections on this
line are sure and reliable, the different
companies having recently added the tvs;
and most improved rolling stock to their
equipment.
Important Information.
Messrs. Cuohoux A llnutino have

Revenue office, which gives the following
infbrmation in reference to yarn, cotton
picking. Ac:

is»stj. “yarns and warp for weaving, braid
ing or muuutae.tiring purposes exelusiv
lv," are exempt from excise tax from that
date. Ta\e- aironsoualy assessed
paid on yarn or wrap will lv refunded on

which the tux had not been paid, when
shipped to Northern ports from tin “States

The Prussian Condition of an Armistice.
Berlin, July 18.—-The semi-official
Provincial Correspondence of to-day, in an
article on the negotiations upon tlie Prus
sian demands, says :
“In addition to the complete settlement
of the question of the Duchies, in the sense
of their entire union with Prussia, the
Government appears to demand, as the
principal object of the war, the firmly es
tablished unity of Germany, and particu
larly the unity of the North, under the
leadersiiip of Prussia. It moreover re
quires the exclusion of Austria’s influence
as a Power in the Confederation. As re
gari’s immediate acquisition of territory,
all Prussia asks is the establishment of the
union of her eastern and western pro
vinces, which has become indispensably
necessary. . .
“The Emperor Napoleon, recognizing
the justice and moderation of these de
mands, has accepted the same as a basis
for peace, and has resolved to remain neu
tral in the event of their being refused by
Austria.
The article concludes as follows '•
“Our adversary must attribute it to his
own fault if Prussian demands increase with
the exertions and sacrifices which she has
to make.”
The same paper in speaking of the Prus
sian success over the Austrians, says :
' The ago of old and effete Germany is
past, aud anew ago begins under Prussia >
vigorous leadership. ’
France aud the Contending Powers.
Paris. July 18.— Evening,—The Moni
tcur dn Soir, in referring in its bulletin to
the negotiations for peace, contradicts those
journals which appear to believe that the
French Cabinet, in proffering its good of
fices wished to induce Italy to conclude an
armistice independently, and was prepar
ing to take the part of armed mediator in
Germany. "France,” continues the .Ifon
iteurdu'Soir, “intervened diplomatically
with the idea of peace. Threatening
measures would have created fresh and
more serious complications. _ Prussia, be
fore consenting to an armistice, demands
that Austria should accept the prelimina
ries of peace upon which the negotiations
between the two Powers are being con
tinued."

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
The Trustees of the University of Geor
gia. at their recent session, resolved to
make, through the undersigned, this spe
cial address to the public,
j Themselves most agreeably disappointed
in the actual condition of that Institution,
•they desire to remove from the minds of
others those erroneous impressions which,
in the general prostration of the country,
so naturally exist. It is a mistake, then,
to .suppose that the University has been
| seriously injured by the war. All oi its
original buildings, apparatus, books and
! other property have been -aved. and are
now being placed in thorough repair.—
; During the war a large additional edifice
was completed, containing six halls—one
for the library, one for the new museum.
• and tour for recitations and lectures—all of
them capaciou-, elegant and admirably
I adapted, in design and decoration, to their
respective uses. So far as the machinery
of education is concerned, they rejoice to
say that, while other like institutions of
learning have been wholly or
seriously crippled by the war, the Uni
versity of Georgia, with enlarged accom
modations, is better prepared lor efficient
work than at any previous period.
Its field of work has also been much ex
panded. The lecture system, proper to |
University life, ha- been* considerably en
larged. In English literature, criticism
and the elements of art generally—this
branch being in personal charge of the
Chancellor himself—it is believed that no
other University gives a course so compre
hensive. thorough and practical. The
beneficial effects were clearly perceptible
in the exercises of the late commencement
week. Indeed, the Trustees were highly j
gratified by the results of the first session
of the current year, as exhibited in the j
number of students, two-thirdsof the aver
age attendance in days of greatest pros- *
peritv; in the attainments, habits and de
portment of the youth ; in the earnest and
untiring spirit with which they have de
voted themselves to education; —many of
them relying upon it as their sole depend
ence for future support;—in the anima
tion of intellectual and moral life among j
them, which, like an inspiration, seemed i
to breathe an elastic vigor into everything.
That much of this admirable tone is attri-
butable to the peculiar eoudition of the
country, cannot be doubted; but the Trus
tees realize that they would be guilty of
injustice did they fail to ascribe a large
share of credit to the able and indefatiga
ble Chancellor and Professors, who have
never relaxed their efforts—who have
turned to good intellectual and moral
profit the distress of the times —who have
quickened the student by their own zeal,
and elevated him by their example.
And, in this connexion, as bearing di
rectly upon the morale of' the Student,
they would beg special attention to anew
feature of University life. The college
buildings, formerly used for dormitory
purposes only, have been expanded into
Student Homes ; that is to say, families,
carefully selected for that purpose, with
cultivated ladies at their head, are placed I
in charge of these buildings, which thus
become their own residences while students 1
are made members of their own house- i
holds. It does not admit of doubt that a !
great desideratum in University life has ,
thus been attained; as the buildings are i
supplied, rent free, board will be reduced !
to the cheapest possible rates. In these j
homes, which are neither college com
mons, nor public boarding houses, the j
student will receive tender female super
vision in sickness, while in health, whole- ,
some and refining family influences, com- !
bined with college authority, will be j
thrown around him, to insure domestic
order and gentlemanly bearing. When, ;
in addition to this, it is remembered that j
the University is situated in the town of j
Athens, always celebrated for its pure and
healthful air and water, but, more than
that, for the high tone, moral and intellec- j
tual, of its society, surely the anxious parent
may confide to it his youthful son with a
j peace-inspiring sense of security.
I To a superstructure resting upon a founda- |
j tion so firm, the Trustees felt that it was
j not only safe, but altogether proper, to '
! make such additions as would meet the !
j growing wants of the future. They ac
; cordingly created three new professorships, .
! one of Astronomy and Natural Philosophy, ;
! relieving of these branches chairs already
| existing ; one Adjunct Professorship of ;
Mathematics, and one of the Classics and
| modern Languages. These places arc all !
! filled by gentlemen of high character, of I
! experience and ability,
j They also established a school of Civil En- j
gineering—a professional school, designed
i to give a complete training for Civil En
gineering. Essential to the development
| of our resources, uo profession presents a 1
| more inviting field of useful and remunera-
I tive labor. In the construction of railroads, ]
! in the building of bridges, acqueducts and
reservoirs, in drainage in, the opening of ,
mines, in topographical surveys, etc., there !
will bean increasing demand for accomplish-1
ed civil engineers. To meet this demand the \
Trustees have established this school, have ;
taken steps to supply it with necessary I
models, etc., and have placed at its head a j
gentleman of distinguished capacity and
practical experience. With a good know
ledge of Mathematics, tho student can
j complete his professional course in two j
! years.
Upon this simple statement of fact, the
i Trustees profoundly feel that they can
i present the University to the people of
: Georgia as being in a more efficient condi
tion now than ever before, and can right- j
fully appeal to the parent, as well as to tlie
' youth, to give his support, his attachment j
and his name to an Institution already
identified with the earliest history, and J
most brilliant reputation of the State.— \
Assuredly, at last, must the time have !
arrived when, if tlie means of a compre
hensive and thorough education bo pro
vided at home, parent and son will be dis
posed to seek it there. Where can the
foundation of a man’s state, character and
position be so well laid as at home, in early
life, among his own people ? _ What true
citizen o. Georgia will bo willing to divert
his patronage, his means and his interest
from her borders, unless the duty he owes |
to the education of his son shall sternly
exact it? But, in the great departments
of educated fife, in liberal education and
practical professional education, her own
University is already vigorously active.
It offers very decided advantages, and
•presents its own character, labor and
achievements as a just ground of patronage.
The Trustees, determined to discharge
their duties to her and her people, eu
eouraged by the present and hopeful of
the future, have left nothing undone to
place it on a level with the highest Insti
tution of learning in all the land; and, in
its means and machinery of education, in
the ability and character of its faculty, in j
the general tone of its their in- j
tellectual development and moral bearing,
with respectful confidence, they challenge
comparison. In return, may they not
trustfully claim from the public fair scru
tiny, a just decisiou, and a generous sup
port ?

Wild Expenditure.
Congress signalized the closing hours of
its session by the same lavish use of the
public funds which marked the whole ses
sion. The Tribune thus alludes to the
way in which some of the appropriations
were logged through :
The House insisted on the provision in
the appropriation bill, increasing the
salaries of members from 83,000 to 85,000
per annum, and rejected the provision for
the equalization of soldiers’ bounties ; the
Senate rejected the salary provision, but
insisted on the bounty clause, and there
was a dead lock that promised for a short
time to defeat two unwise measures : but
soon the Houses entered into an under
standing with each other whereby the ;
members paid themselves 82,000 each
extra, and increased the public expenditure
over 830(0,IM i‘t.ooo to pay bounties to soldier
in certain sums, under a system that will
leave their receipts about as unequal as
they now are. Mr. Fessenden very prop
erly said. that “somebody else ought to
be consulted on this question. Outside
of the ranks of the army, the people will
be found opposed to the appropriation of
so large, a sum of money for this purpose.
Fifty or a hundred dollars will afford but
little and temporary satisfaction to the
soldier, while the bill will render necessary
an amount of taxation tliat will be felt
through many years.

FROM EUROPE.
The German 4Var.
The mails bring us details of the closing
; incidents of the Germanic struggle, which
j lose much of their interest under the
! closing flash of intelligence, through the
j Atlantic cable, that a treaty op peace
has been signed between the contending
powers. The details ol the treaty are not
given, but the meagre intelligence leaves
no ri'jm to doubt that the principal de
mands of Prus-ia have been aceeeded to.
The most essential condition was the with
drawal of Austria from the German cou
, federation, and the surrender of all control
! over the two Duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein. We are assured that Prussia
was not to claim the cession of Bohemia
and Moravia. Having secured the integri
ty of the German nationality, it is proba
: ble that Prussia will not demand any Aas
: triau territory. Prussia has in this brief :
: but glorious campaign vindicated her na
tional prowess, and with a population of
40,00q,000 of congenial lineage and tradi- :
i tion.-, she will be second to none of the !
: great European powers. i
We present a brief summary of the late j
mail intelligence:
Tile Prussian Demands.
A Berlin semi-official paper gives thefol- j
lowing as the Prussian demands in addition
to the complete settlement of the question '
of the Duchies, which in future are to act !
in unison and tie under the control of Prus- j
sia.
“Prussia demands, as the principal ob
ject of the war, the establishment of the
unity of Northern Germany under the
leadership of Prussia, and, moreover, re
quiring the exclusion of Austria’s influence
as a power of the Confederation. All that
Pru -sia asks is the establishment of a unjou
of her Eastern and Western Provinces,
which has become indispensably necessary.
The Emperor Napoleon, recognizing the
justice and moderation of these demaids,
has accepted the same as a basis of peace,
and has resolved to remain neutral in the
event of their being refused by Austria’'
The Emperor of Austria is stated to
have decidedly refused to accept of the
Prussian conditions'eicludiug Austria from
the Germanic Confederation.
The Prussian Official Gazette gays that
the treaty of alliance between Prussia and
Italy declares that neither party shall con
clude either peace or an armistice without
the consent of the other.
Occupation of Frankfort by the Prussians.
Frankfort, July 17.—The Prussian
Generals Vogel and Falkenstein, with the
Groben division, 7,000 strong, entered
Frankfort yesterday evening at 9 o’clock.
As jhe troops marched into the town the
streets presented a very animated ap
pearance, and the Prussians were generally
received in the most cordial manner. At
the battle of Asehaffenburg; on the 14th
inst., the Austrian loss was 800 men killed
and wounded, and 1,500 prisoners. The
Federal troops are represented to be
thoroughly demoralized. At the request i
of Bavaria a truce has been established be- j
tween the Prussian and Bavarian armies, i
The Engagement near Asehaffenburg.
Eisenach, July 17. —According to de
tails received here the Darmstadt division
attacked the Groben division on the 13th
inst., near Laufach, which hid come up to
reinforce the Groben division. The Gro
ben division was vigorously attacked on the
following day by the united Austrian,
Darmstadt and Electoral Hessian forces.
The Prussians, however, stonned Asehaf
fenburg, and the Federal* were driven
back across the Maine. Many Austrians
were taken prisoners.
The Prussian loss was small.
The Condition of Hungary.
The assertion of the Beilin papers rela
tive to revolutionary symptoms in Hungary
have been officially denied, and as proof
to the contrary, it had been asserted that
several members of the Imperial fami
ly were at present in Bada, and that many
volunteers had been enrolled; and that
preparations wore making for a levy en
masse in the event of a Prussian invasion
of Hungary.
Manifesto of the Emperor of Austria to
the Hungarians.
Pesth, July 10, ISO 6 following:
royal manifesto has just been issued here
“To the faithful people of my Kingdom
of Hungary:
“The hand of Providence weighs heavi
ly upon us Iu the conflict into which I
have been drawn, not voluntarily, but
through the force of circumstances, every
human calculation has been frustrated,
save only the confidence I placed in the
heroic bravery of my valiant army. The
more grievous are the heavy losses by which
the ranks of those brave men have been
smitten, and my personal heart feels the
bitterness of that grief with all the families
afflicted. To put an end to the unequal
contest, to gain time and opportunity to
fill up the voids occasioned by the cam
paign, and to concentrate my forces against
the hostile troops occupying the northern
portion of my empire, 1 have consented,
with great sacrifices, to negotiations for the
conclusion of an armistice.
“I now turn confidently to the faithful
people of my Kingdom of Hungary, and to
that readiness to make sacrifices so re
peatedly displayed in arduous times.
“The united exertions of my entire
Empire must he set in motion, that the
conclusion of the wished for peace may be
secured upon fair conditions.
“It is my profound belief that, the war
like sons of Hungary, actuated by the feel
ing of hereditary fidelity, will voluntarily
hasten under my banners to tlie assistance
of their kindred, and for the protection of
their country, also immediately threatened
by the events of the war.
“Rally, therefore, in force to the defense
of the invaded Empire; be worthy sons
of your vailant forefathers, whose heroic
deeds gained never-fading wreaths of laurel
for the glory of the Hungarian name.
Francis Joseph.
“Vienna, July 7, 1866.”
Defeat of the Austrians before Olmutz--
The Prussian Force Concentrated upon
Vienna.
An engagement took place before Olmutz
on the 27th.
The Austrians were defeated with the
loss of 16 guns.
The Austrains were making a rapid
retreat out of Moravia.
The Prussians occupied lundenburg
on the 17 th, cutting communication be
tween Olmutz and Vienna.
The entire Prussian force was being con
centrated upon Vienna.
The Prussians occupied Frankfort on
the 16th.
The Attitude of Russia.
The Moscow Gazette says'- “Russia
does not desire any change of the present
state of things in Europe. If Austria and
Prussia will render themselves the tools of
France, Russia can no longer depend upon
them as heretofore. Yenetia withoutßome
would constitute no progress for Italy. The
submission of Austria to France is not ad
vantageous, but dangerous to the European
equilibrium. The supremacy ofPrussia in
Northern Germany narrows Russia in the
Baltic. Russia's love for peace does not
sanction efforts to obtain supreme power.
England s interest may make her seek an
alliance with France and Austria in the
Eastern question, hut the dictatorship of
France in Italy and Germany cannot meet
with her support.”
The Prussians at llrunn.
Brunn, July 13. —Eleven Prussian regi
ments entered this town yesterday and to
day. without opposition. The inhabitants
maintained a tranquil attitude, and fur
nished supplies to the troops as far as they
were able.
Brunn, July, 13, (Afternoon.)—The !
King of Prussia has just arrived here,
and the headquarters have been. es
tablished at the residence of the Governor.
His Majesty was received by the Bishop
of Brunn,' Count Schapfgalsch, the Bur
gomaster, and the authorities, who urged
the King to spare the city and treat the
inhabitants with lenity.
Hi? Male -tv replied in nearly the follow
ing terms:
1 apt not here of mv free choice or free
will, but because the Emperor of Austria
has forced me into war. J do not, there
fore. make war against the peaceful sub- i
ject«, but against the army of tne Emperor.
Up to the present I have been victorious,
and the valor of my army inspires rne with
confidence in our further success. I have
been obliged to lead hither an unusully
large army. It is very possible that in
isolated cases the inhabitant? may have
cause for comnlaint, but this will be avoid
ed by their readily supplying my brave
troops with the necessaries of lue.
Brunn. July 13. evening.—Forty-five
thousand Prussian troops have been
quartered upon the_ inhabitants, who
have received them in a friendly man
ner. The Austrian authorities have left,
taking with them the funds belonging to
the Government.

[lt afictthd be borne in mind that our

\ hi its, to Planters and others, are filled at a
, shade higher rate,'.]
REMARKS. —The weather since our last,
has continued favorable, with frequent
showers, and the prospect of the crop is
more cheering. Estimates of the cotton
crop continue to take a wide range ; bold
ders of t he raw material or of cotton goods
still talk of less thau one million bales,
! and a large number of what may be termed
, croakers take the same gloomy view of the
' growing crop; while those about to enter
the market as buyers, take the other ex
treme, and sum tip from two millions to
i three millions in their estimates. It is too
' soon to form any reliablb estimate oi the
| coming crop; but we see. no reason to
1 change the opinion we hat e before express
ed, that with a late full from a third to a
half of the old average crop may be real
! ized.
The second month of summer has closed,
and we believe that our merchants have
more titan realized their expectations in
the extent of business for the season. There
has been less than usual of what may bo
termed summer stagnation in trade, and
many branches of business have been uni
formly active.
The sudden close of tlio European war,
with the favorable crop reports from the
West have effected prices of breadstuff's to
some extent, and flour and grain are low
er.
The great event of the week has lioeii tlio
completion of the Atlantic Cable, by which
we are placed in receipt of tlio news of the
close of tlio German war, and of the Liver
pool market to the Ist, when cotton closed
firm. The effect of regular telegraphic
communication with Europe will, it is be
lieved, impart more steadiness to coinmer
mereial operation's, relieving speculators
of much of the uncertainty incident to a
want of regular communication.
FIN ANOiAjj.—There has been a gradu
al decline in Gold,during the week, and at
the close wo find but little activity in
money or securities. Brokers are buying
Gold at 145 to 146, and sellingatl4B. There
i? no inquiry for Silver. Exchange in
Now York may he itad at par. We find
but little doing in Stocks or Bonds, and no
material change in our quotations, which

PATENT IMPROVED
Iron Screw!
FOR
i IMCIONG COTTON.
r PIIB ATTENTION OF COTTON
i I PLANTERS is invited to the claims of this invention,
: which. In SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY, DURABILITY and
POWER, surpasses any niaclUm* 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 WOULD :
1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It is a new’and improved applica
tion of the Screw Power; just as simple in Us construction as
the old fashioned wooden screw, as easily managed, and no
more liable io get out of order. No ropes Or pul lies as used
2. ITS ECONOM Y.—lt 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
i Iliose employed in the old screw ; the levers being only 16feet
j long, ana the height of the whole frame above the lieu being
j only 10fed. All these timbers can be procured on the plan-.
! talien, no matter how exhausteil the forest. Any ordinary
j wood workman can build the frame, and half a dozen hands
will put it up in a few hours.
! 3. ITS DURABIUT Y.-Thc Screw and Nut arc of iron,
i and will last for years without, any appreciable wear. The.
' whole machine occupies so little space that it can be cpm
! iih It ly covered at very small cost.
1 1. ITS POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet long, one
! mule is sufficient for Lacking the heaviest bales. Planters
who have used it say that, with (wo mules, cotton may be
compressed on this machine for shipment.
This Screw was invented iust before the opening of the war,
and has subsequently never been very generally introduced.
Those who hove ust and It and seen it used, unanimously concur
in the opinion that it is
UNRIVALLED AS A (OITO.V 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 veans,
Wright’s Improved Cotton iron Screw, and feel no heidtation
iu pronouncing it the very best Cotton Screw we have ever
known. So highly do we esteem it, that, if p -:cticable to ob
tain one of them, we would have no otlu r. It is easily built,
Ample in its consfcru.ition, not liable to get. ouu order, packs
well, wltl-i great power and with great facility.
