The Columbia State has had some Interesting, card* from Mr. .V. J. El liott and others with reference to the origin of the cotfbtt'gln. The writer can corroborate *l?rpart the state ments made by jp^lliott. Elf Whit ney did not invent the saw gin. He had a kind of gin with pins to pick the Heed from the cotton.' The aaw gin was Invented by a mill-wright work ing on the plantation of the late Mr. Kinraid (no Kintkead) of Palrfleld ] county. The old Kiucald home is yet stand-1 ing?Montkello.

The very brl ks were sent over in a ship. Artisans had not readied a very considerable stage of training In this country then. The late MaJ. Jas Klncaid Vance kept a rrconl of the Klncaid family and the first of the name to settle in this country is buried in old St. Michael's churchyard in Charlestton. The Kln caid family gave of'its sons to every war that thiB country has had. The lato James Kincaid was a progressive i thinker, a pioneer in many undertak ing. It was in a mill house on his place that the cottton kin was built, ng to record* that MaJ. Vanco to a few years ago, but these ateiy were burned in the loss Shlence. However, there are lying who have heard MaJ. 1 of Uie facts Just about as by Mr. Elliott, fjicald waa away from home and a* gentleman of important bear ing rode up to the plantation on a fine hu."cut and persuaded the old mill-wright to let him see the model for the gin.

' o^Da?n^r.j te of M*rV*rrU in' which he ashs who is the inventor of the cotton gin. This question was raised In his, mind by a conversation father 'h hu jfru win iu urr'yEar' m rjllraes;** Foutlf fcarolinl?n'. who "was CBlatlYAnt the, Clouds and-Alken?. Mrs. Elizabeth Ktnkead Anderson, a daughter of Col. Thos. Klnkhead, told mei.thp.t Ogden Holmes cam* *.o Col. KinkoMl'a. glnhou?e on Mill creek, in Falrn-ild county, in order to get to a quiet place free from intrusion to ex periment on the cotton gin; that one ( av during the absence of Cel. Kin kead, a stranger came "and that her mother, without realizing the imnort ance or privacy in. this matter, allowed the stranger to have tho keys and .look at the n?E.criir?? wh?c?? was In proce?? of erection. William D. Alken in the presence of the late George H. McMaa ter, my father, the late J. Ml Elliott, and in my presence, in Wtnnsboro ex hibited about 3& $ears ago letters pat ent, to one Ogden Holmes er South) Carolina for tho Invention of the cot ton gin and this lottern patent bore the jisijrnauute, or Georgia i Washington^ J president of the United; States. ?n?

He stated that t|te old Iron stayed ! around the place for years. Capt Thomas ftlnkead Anderson I once published an article along the [ lines of this article and he got a, very bitter reply from a son or relative of fill Whitney, de&ytng all set forth in Mr. Anderson'? article. Mr. Ander son said that Helmte* started his ex periment at Old Hamburg near Augus ta, but that lie brought It up to Fair held county to perfect it In a secluded [place. The people of the day In which my rather was born all firmly believed that Ogden Holmes was the real in ventor, and that TCH Whitney wee the stranger who a?fcatf Cor ?h* t?y <? be ibis stated that Whitney was teaching j school near Augusta. Senator S. G. May field stated to me In a conversation on thU subject that the statutes or 1801 would show where the state or South Carolina entered into a contract with Ogden Holmes to buy his patent, and that they paid him about *30,0?9 which was to be about one-third of the pri?e, aad that when the ract of WJhltnsya claim to j the invention became known the etat? refused to pay any snore money until I this matter was settled.
