[From the News and Courier. ]
The town of Snrnter in this State is I
likely to become famous for having I
given to the world an inventor whose
genions, perseverance and versatility
make him the peer of Edison, and
whose inventions bid fair to be even
more beneficial and far-reaching in
tneir results inan tnose 01 tne electoral j
wizard of the North. Mr. Charles T. j
Mason, Jr., as most of our readers
know:, has for several years pasfc been
hard at work devising and perfecting
^ the wonderful Cotton Harvesting Ma-j
chinc, which is now complete and]
awaiting the fruiting of the staple in J
order to demonstrate practically the 1
solution of the problem which has i
puzzled the ingenuity of man for half a!
century?how to pick the the cotton j
cvop more rapidly; more thoroughly I
and more cheaply than can be done by
human fingers.
Just as lie is on the point of putting
this marvellous piece of mechanism to ;
work in the cotton fields, Mr. Mason j
has stumbled, as it were, npon another |
invention, second only iu value to the
Cotton Harvester. ..This ^machine

THE ADVANTAGES". OF THE NEW PROCESS
are so. decided, and so obvious as to
<w_ leave little doubt that Mr. Mason's
s*- ?^ cylinder gin will speedily supplant the
saw ginsnow used wherever cotton is
cultivated. These advantages are:
1. Cheapness. The CQsf^of the cylinder
to the gin-manufactnr will be
only a fraction?say about one-eight?
of the.cosfc of the saws and ribs.
2. The cylinder being made in movable
sections, only a few inches wide^
?kA?\ a/im /v^. irtin ? ??
call) itr vaou vi uv x cauii v icpaired
or replaced by any farmer of
ordinary dexterity,, at a trifling cost
and -without delay.
3. The points of the teeth are so
protected or "hooded" that jtis impossible
for them to come itiRconfact
with any foreign substances and con,?^
sequent! v they ran no risks of being
broken "or blunted. The Reporter
saw a handful of naHs thrown in with
the seed cotton upon the revolving cylinder,
without affecting its work in
any way. The nails were soou dropped
out with the seed, without in jar
lng- a single tooio, je.Fcry Jzonwarn
fanner knows that a nail accidentally
placed with the seed cotton rn a saw
x? gin will do more harm iu half * a minute
than can be repaired in a good
while and will often injure irreparably
a brand new'gin. Besides this,
the friction of the saw gin when in
contact with any foreign substance is
liable to produce sparks of fire and in
. ' this way often gives rise to disastrous
conflagrations. Such an accident, Mr.
Mason claims, is absolutely impossible
with his cylinder gin.
* 4. The cylinder gin does more work
with less power than the saw gin of
the same size. In a gin containing
forty saws, for instance, only forty
teeth are at work at the same moment.
That is to say, only those teeth which
arc passing between the ribs at any
given time are actually utilized in ginning-the
cotton. With Mason's gin it
is different. The cylinder, contains at
1/*of frin? ioofK in Iho in tho I
^V4*V 4VUi bWWU AW V?V ? ?. . J ... |
saw gill, is occupied by the between j
two saws; so that with a cylinder oc- j
cupying the same space of forty saws, j
no less than one hundred and sixty j
teeth are simultaneously at work, as j
. against forty teeth in the saw gin. And ;
by the use of more than one .stripper
bar iu connection with the cylinder
the nninber ofXteeth utilized:-at -the
same moment can be nmltfjriiaL
5. The friction caused in tfce-sarw
, gin when tire cottwi is force laterally j
between tne ribs is sometimes so great'
as to set fire to ihe cotton. The inva- j
riabte effect of this constant friction is '
shown by the chilled iron ribs them- !
selves which are actually worn away !
by the passage of the cotton between I
them. In the Mason gin the fibre is
simply pulled from the seed with
little or no friction and a vast saving
I of power.
6. The Mason crin dons hetter work
than any other gin in use. In the sawgin,
as already stated, the teeth' ofthe
saws force the cotton laterally between
the ribs. Whenever two saws catch
ho?d ofthe same fibre, the fibre is inevitably
cut. In fact, the cotton fibre, i
if it is of good long staple, is cut by !
the saws under the most favorable cir- ]
cnmstances. In the 1 Mason gia the
i operation of ginning is precisely the j
j samelts if the cotton was pulled from j
| the seed by hand, and no matter-how i
i long the staple may be it will pass nn- j
I ?nrlAi? fK/v Kni? o p B/Kidilx' OO thft t
j JLUjlUCU UJt K/iAi. uo |VUC11J n*v I
shortest staple. Mr. Mason is confi- i
| dent that his gin will gain sea island J
; cotton as perfectly and much more !
[ rapidly and economically than the
| roller gins now in use forthat purpose,
f This point, however, lias not yet been
| practically demonstrated, in conse;
quence of the difficulty of obtaining j
i sea island cotton in tho'seed.
[ 7. The abscnceof friction, the imI
possibility of the teeth being broken
! or blunted, and the facility- with
; which in case of any accident to any
i section of the cylinder the injured sec!
tion can be removed and replaced by
I a spare section, render the Mason gin
I incomparably more durable and indestructible
thae any saw giu.
I 8. The last but by no means the
j least, of the advantages [of the Mason
j gin over all others, is that in its use
there will be no possible danger or |
injury to the life or limbs of the ginner.
* The maltitude of victims sacrificed
every year by accidents occurring
while operating "the murderous
I saw-gin" will be one of the strongest
[ arguments, with, all humane farmers
j in in favor of the adoption of Mason's j
i cylinder gin.
THE WQKK OF THE MASON GIN. j
Samples of short staple cotton ginI
Ktr "VT ocAn OvKiKifftrl fA !
i ujr, -U.I.VOVn w
| experienood cotton factors, cotton
i planters and cotton spinners in Charles[
ton, have been pronounced to be in
extra fine condition and the staple
; surprisiugly long. In fast some good
judges declared the samples to be
worth fully a cent a pound more than
the same class of cotton would be if
ginned by the saw gin. The Mason
gin also cleans the seed more perfectly
than the saw gins. Indeed, if the
teeth are placed close enough together
and the number of stripper bars is
increased, Mr. Mason is satisfied that
the seed will be cleaned by his cylinder
jnst as perfectly as by the "linters"
in the cotton seed oil mills. He predicts
that considerations of economy
will soon compel the cylinder principles
to be substituted for those linting
machines.
THE INTRODUCTION- OF THE NEW GIN.
Mr. Mason, having fully covered
his invention by patents, will probably
dispose of "the right to rise it to
manufacturers of cotton gins upon
payment of a"royalty upon [each gin
in which his f.vlindei* is nsp.rL Sev
eral pin-makers have already visited
Ills shops in Sumter and expressed
^great interest in the invention, the
-merit and importance of which they
all admitted. A representative of the
Gullett and Magnolia Gin works in
New Orleans, who closely examined
the mechanism and work of the Mason
gin the other day, declared its superiority
to be so indisputable that, in
his opinion, the saw gin gin would,
witnin two years, oe a tmng 01 mo
past. Negotiations are now on foot
with a view to protecting Mr. Mason's
patent rights in all foreign countries
where cotton ia grown and ginned.
swindling his fellow-negj20es.
The Sharp Game a South Carolina Jiej^ro
Preacher is P;ayinc in Georgia.
Alpaketta, G a., July 5.?There has
been considerable excitement created
here by the movements of a colored
emissary named Jones Steel, a preacher
and a politician, formerly of South '
Carolina. He came here two weeks
ago armed with a pistol, which he
freely displayed. He announced his
V* T IA VvA +A 1 Arl f A^
utiooiuii w yv AXICIM^ ivuggo vi i
the National Aid and Protection Society,
claiming that he was doing so
under the sanction of Congress, and
that officers high in government service
stood ready to enforce the edicts
of the order. As a preliminary to
joining his order, an advance fee of
$2 is charged- In order to make the
negroes enthusiastic and to induce
them to join the society he makes inconsiderate
speeches, dwelling on the
rignts 01 laoor. j.ms spirit once iastened
lingers long after the original
emissary has departed, giving rise to
dispnte.s between whites and j^acks,
likely at any time to break forth in
bloodshed- * After collecting all the
money he could get, he departed for
other fields, where he will probably
repeat the same plan of squeezing
money out of his fellow-men.
A Case of Oppression.
Milwaukee, July 4.?About two
hundred lalorers employed hv the
*t _ i nt j itr l
us.se snore ana western i*auway
Company, in the Green Bay region of "
Michigan, arrived here this morning,
having travelled two days aud nights
without food, and going to the headqoarters
of the company demanded
pay for their May work. On being
refused they attempted to break in the
doors, but the police arrived and drove
them off. They still hang about having
no money" and being desperate
from hunger. The ^company's officers
explain that the pay-roll was late and
that fhey are nnabl'e to settle with the
men until. the superindeuts of gangs i
certify to the rolls. The superintendents
are up in the woods and the pay
master took the pay car for tbe North
at noon, so that the men will not be
paid until they go back to the woods.
Democrats Fired Into.

interest at this time I send yon extracts
from the report.
Mr. Author R. Guerard, of Charleston,
has charge of the mineral exhibit.
He has completed his arrangements for
a handsome display of phosphate spec-,
iraens,. and lias gone to the upper

progress. He is now on the coast
collecting fishes, and as soon as he
closes his work there he will visit
other portions of the State. Cornwallis
said South Carolina was wo.rth conquering
for her brem, and Mr. Hnske
intends to sustain" this statement by an
exhibition of these fine fish. His specimens
will be preserved in alcohol
and in plaster. The latter metnoa
shows the specimen in a perfectly jiatural
condition, both as to size and
color.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
will see that all of the agricultural products
of the State are collected in seasnn.
finmn fine wheat and oats have
already been received.
Mr." E. L. Roche, the special assistant
of the Department, has been travelling
over State perfecting county
organizations, for the purpose of interesting
prominent citizens in the exhibits
from their counties. These organizations
have assumed practical
shaoe in Charleston, Greenville, Ches

Thompson is ex-officio Chairman
of the Board of Agriculture, and
shows great interest in the State's exhibit.
Although, the work is "in a very satisfactory
condition -from present prospects
the South Carolina exposition
promises to be thoroughly representative
in its character.
BLOODY "WORK IX BARNWELL.
A Sensation and Mysterious Murder near
Robbins Station.
[Special to The Nenos and Courier.]
Ellenton, July 3.?Night before
last the dead body of a man by the
name of Sessions" was found between
the residence of Saml. A. "Wood and
Robbins Station, in Barnwell county
The body was very much mutilated by
dog-s. The head was severed from the
body and buried at the feet of the
corpse. The body was buried without
a coffin.; The skull was fractured in
several places, and the coupling pin of
a car was found in the hole with the
body.
S. A. Wood, a white man who is
highly connected, and John Terry, a
negro, have been arrested for the murder
and sent to Barnwell jail.
The theory of the crime from the
evidence so far obtained is as follows::
<-* x? ir? c? l j m
COine uuie m jjiay o. -ml. rr vwu.- ?u?. x..
A. Rountree, of Robbins, had a difficulty
in. wtich one. or two shots -were
fired. A short time after this some
oue shot at Rountree while in bed at
night. Carson, a white man living
with Wood, and, John Terry were
missing-after this.- : T. J. Rountree
soon after received a note signed by1
Carson, saying that he and Terry did
the shooting, and would, continue tryincr
nnfil fhpv fcillftfl him'. On the 1st
of June Sessions, a brother-in-law of
Carson, arrived at Bobbins, irom Fairfield,
his home, and visited Wood for
the purpose of collecting some money
that Wood owed Carson. Carson and
Terry also came back about the sametime,*
and It is believed that the three
nut Sessions out of the way, as he
know too much about the shooting at1
Rountree.,-r . -* tTerry
was arrested in Beaufort for'
participating in the attempted assassi-..
nation, when~he told about the Sessions
matter and the body, that wasfound
as above indicated. Wood at
the inquest testified that he was present
at the burial of Sessions. That
Carson asked him to assist him in
burying the body, but he did not see

says he and Stepney Wood, colored,
were at the burial of Sessions; that
"Wood held th'e horses and Carson, did

Carson is still at large, having left
directly after the killing.

CLEVELAND'S CHANCES.
STRONG CONFIDENCE IN HIS NOMINATION
AT CHICAGO.
Figuring Out a Good Majority for Him in
the National Convention?The Hand of
Tilden Seen Working for the Governor.
Albany, June 30.?Notwithstanding
the reports of anti-Cleveland deals arranged
by John Kelly and Ben Butler,
the managers of the Governor's
campaign feel as confident now of success
at Chicago as they have at any time
since Mr. Tilden's letter of withdrawal
appeared. Lette-s arc received daily

other States promising their support
to Mr. Cleveland and giving-flattcring
reports of his popularity with the .
Democrats in" their sections. The
thoroughness with which the anticonvention
canvass is being made
must convince a political observer
that all the agencies which were employed
In Mr. Tilden's masterly cam
paign in 1S79 are being called into
lay now on behalf of Governor Cleveland.
This is the best evidence that
the Sage of Grammerey Park regards
the present, incumbent of the Executive
chair as'his legatee. If Mr. Til- den
did not desire the nomination of
Mr. Cleveland, the work of his fine
hand would be discovered in the West
and South in the election of delegatesfavorable
to Borne other candidate.
Although the "old man" declines to
make a public declaration in favor of
the Governor, the action and talk of
his intimate friends and trusted agents
already indicate Ms7 preference. The
LUavjuinc iiiaua^uio ueir pa*
that Mr. Tilden wants to see the Governor
named for President, and is
using all his influence to attain that
end. In discussing the situation this
evening, one of the inner circle of the
Democratic politicians who have their
headquarters in this city said; "The
opposition to Governor Cleveland is
composed of the same parties as that
whicti fnn<rhtfirYFP/rnnr Til den in 1878.
All the dissatisfied elements have combined
for the purpose of revenge on an
upright official who has refused to
grant all their demands. Tammany
Hall leads the kick as usual. Cleveland
occupies a position very similar to
that held by Tilden in 1876, the
only difFerencebeing that the opposition
iB less bitter, and that Tilden was better
known outside the State. Yet, I
tell yon, Cleveland is the strongest
man the party, has, and 1 believe he
will be nominated. The apparent
weakening of bisfollowing outside the .
State is due to the false reports of the
standing of the New York delegation
uiiuumicu v v ms\ cucuijus* tt uuu il
appears at the meeting of the State
delegation at Chicago next Saturday
evening that ali the members except
Tammany and a few chronic kickers,
like Purcell and Faulkner, are for the
Governor, there will be a sudden
change in the tone of the talk.
"At least 45, and probably 55, delegates"
continued this gentlemen, "will
volo for Cleveland, and under the unit
rule of the whole 72 votes from the
State will be cast for him. Outside
of New York he has decidedly more
votes than any other. In New Eng
land he has all the States bat Massachusetts,
which Butler controls. It is
understood that at least 30 of the Ohio'
delegation favor Cleveland and Hoadly.
In Virginia all but 2 are known
to be for the Governor. In the South,
he has North Carolina, South Carolina,
Call but 4.) and Florida. In
the Mississippi Valley, Arkansas, Missouri,
and West Mississippi. In the
Northwest and "West, Wisconsin, Min- .
nesota. Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, .
and "Michigan, Illinois will hold its
convention on Wednesday, and is .
expected to give Cleveland M mofe.
None of the other candidates can come
any where near him. Indiana favors
McDonald. Massachusetts is instructfor
Bp tier and Kentucky for Caslisl^.
Bayard is indorsed by Deleware,
Maryland and "West Virginia. Louisiana,
Texas and the Pacific States still
want Tilden. In California <4the .
archer of the Sun," Mr. Dana, has one;
earnest supporter. -So you see -that~
Cleveland is far-ahead of any of his1,
competitors. If'they could all" com- l!
bine, another man might be nominat- .
ed but a coalition is as impossible as
it was at .the Republican Convention.
Xext wecE's convention win be a rep- /
etition of the one in St. Louis in 1876. ,

Political Nicknames.
The nicknaming of prominent men,
particularly of those mixing in politics,
is practiced in this country, more, perhaps,
than in any other, andr as a rule,
the recipient takes to it kindly. Thus
Gen. Jackson was as well known as
"Old HiVkorv" ar.d rrsoro readilv ror.
ognized than if called President Jackson.
Senator Benton in his lifetime
was almost as well known as "Old
Bullion," so called from' bis advocacy
of a gold and silver currency and his
inveterate opposition to banks and paper
money. The late Thomas Ewing, of
Ohio, while a senator in congress, had,
his nickname of "Solitude," and it so
stuck to him that even now, Ions: after
ms aeaxn, me preirx is sun given mm
to distinguish him from his son and
namesake, Gen- Tom Ewing.
Senator Ewing made a speech in the
United States senate which fastened
the "Solitude" upon him. It was during
the national bank agitation, when
the supporters of that institution were
active in picturing the ruin that would
Seme upon the country if the bank's
charter was not renewed. Senator
Ewitig in debate spoke of the mechanic
being out of work, and that the busy
hum of industry is not heard in this,
the - busy season of the year, and
wound up with t?e assertion that "our
canals are a solitude, our lakes but
desert -wastes of "water." A number
of congressmen?several of tirem senators,
and more than half of them
democrats?made up a party to return
to their homes by the way ot the "New.
Yor? canal. The west was then sending
its produce to the east via lake and;
canal, and th& congressional party
found "that the canal trade, if judged
by the number of boats met, was immense,
and it was a standing joke irith'
the democratic members when a' fleet
of boats hove in sight to can Mr; Ew-i
ing from the cabin of v the packet-boatl
to look at his "solitude." . -
At the lower ena 01 tne eanai were
had been a break, and a large dumber
of boats were usually in si?ht. Of
coxrrse there was fun to see tnem and
to point them out to the Ohio member,
but the fun was not? on his side nor-to.
his liking. At Rochester, fast as the
packet boat lahded, a freight-boat was
discharging cargo, and Mr. Ewin* and:
the-other congressmen were lookers-'
on. By some accident a hogshead
filled with molasses had'its head' burst
in, and the contents-p?odred-into the
canal. An Irish laborer-standing near
to Mr. Ewino1, without " khowing Who
he was. exclaimed: "Jabers. mon.
that mtfst be solitude swatened." -Hie
other congressmen roared with laughter,
and Mr. Ewin<*was forced to join;
them. The democratic members told
the Joke and it got Into the^newspapers^
and it aided in perpetuating
the sobriquet of "Solitude on Senator
Thomas Swing. 1 tell the tale as it

The Bightto Commit Suicide.
In the ancient world it was held to
be the right of individuals, under oer

if they could reader their country

en<L The Stoics held that mair was
his own master, and if he wished "to
shuffle off this mortal coil" there was
no divine law, and should be no human
enactment, to say him nay. But the
advent of Christianity-taught a new
doctrine on this point. -This was the
inviolability of human life. Man did
not belong to themselves, but io his
Maker,: and killing one's self "was as
unjustifiable as slaying a fellow-man.
But several modern writers have advocated
the old view. The most recent
convert-is the eccentric Elmira clergyman,
the Rev- Thomas K. Beecber.
Writing to a newspaper, on this subject,

by an individual, with the approval of
his friends, that it is 'no longer worth
