Whitney Outdone at Last?A Cylinder Gin j which Promises to Supplant the Costly and 3&a-Q;jerou8 Saw Gin?Advantages of t&e Xe-pr Frocess. [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 for GINNLXG COTTOK BT ??.

The crest of each of these waves is perforar? ted by ? small triangnbp apartures about one-eighth- of an inch apart, and _ _ each aperture encloses-a sharp metal~ ??k- }jc tooth, the'j>oint of "which is dea. ' pressed slightly-below the cylinder pp* surface^ .The -arrangement of these leeta ail wry uiucn iu^r miuv as iu uitr picking sterns of the Cotton Harvester, the teeth-being protected or "hooded" by the sides of the, apertures in which they are set^ so that the surfeee of the cylinder is- siuodth-to'lire" touch, the points of tbe teestitsp.tbej^ felt.

The brnsfr-Which cfeansthe- cylinder and the condenser which deiiv ers the lint cotton in a roll are precisely the same as those now used in the saw-gin. r : 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.

The Palmetto State to be Thoroughly Represented Other Note s o f In t & rest. [Special to the Avgvsta Chronicle.1 Columbia, S. C., July 2.?Mr. Henry Austin, in charge of the Xews Bureau of the "World's Exposition, requested Col. Butler (the United States Commissioner and the State Commissioner of Agriculture) to forward a report of the progress of the Exposition work in South Carolina, which has been done, and as it is a matter of much 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 counties to look-after minerals, ores and building stones. This exhibit will be the most complete collection of South Carolina minerals that has ever been made. Mr. Guerard will be assisted in the work bv the Commis? - " - * m-ji. ni sioner or Agncmcnre ana oiaie ^nemist. Col. R. M. Sims, President of the Horticultural Society of South Carolina, his been appointed to look after the fruit and vegetable exhibit, and his already began the work.

The timber resources of the State will be fully shown. Mr. C. J. Huske, superintedent of Fisheries, has charge of the fish exhibit and his work is making satisfactory 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 tei*,* Darlington, Spartanburg, Beaufort and elsewhere, and meetings have been called in nearly all the other ?ountie3 for sale day in July. Governor 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.

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.

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 by Chairman Manning and his lieuten - jt-*?i * _ i tv ~ ... ants irom lnunenuai i^emocrais m 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. , Read that _ up and substitute Cleye-; J land for Tilden - and you will able to.. tell it* advance how-things will go at .

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 was toH and printed at the time;?Ci&r. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Bightto Commit Suicide. In the ancient world it was held to be the right of individuals, under oer tam circumstances, to.&ui wsmacitw, if they could reader their country thereby a service, or even if they listed to rid themselves of care in this world. It was quite eommon, in Roman history, for generals to sacrifice themselves in order to win victories or to accomplish a great patriotic or family 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, ho say s "that when it is determined by an individual, with the approval of his friends, that it is 'no longer worth while to drift ahout on this sinful planet,' he is then justified *Ih sailing into the hereafter "by 'his own &cLr " It is a question, with some 'physicians, whether in some phases of human suf-i fering, occasioned by terrible and mortal diseases, it should not J>e permissible to deprive the sufferer of a life that is so intolerable to him.
