THE WAKEFIELD PATENT.
t
S. J. Wakefield, of Antreville, 4
went to Washington last week and i
made application to the patent office *
for a patent on a ein roll, which he c
states will increase the ginning ca- e
pacity of the ordinary cotton gin one I
hundred to two hundred per cent t
and at the same time make a better s
sample, as well as clean the seed. *
The device has been successfully *
tried out by Mr. Wakefield in the r
gin at Antreville which he is oper- 8
ating there, and he has undoubtedly g
worked out something worth while. t
Samples of cotton ginned from the a
same wagon load made on the gin
with this device, and on a common ?
gin without it, were shown to cotton 11
^buyers here last week, and the first n
was pronounced to be a quarter of a
cent per pound more valuable than
the latter. This would mean in itself
a saving of twelve to fifeen
k .... . ..
millions oi dollars a year to tne
farmers. In addition to this Mr.
Wakefield says that his device cleans
* the seed better, and that he will gin
from ten to twenty pounds more from
a bale of seed than on the ordinary
gin, which means from twelve to
twenty-five millions of dollars every
year for the farmer of the South. s

On the other hand, if the gin witl
his device gins twice as much cot
on as in the old way, a person wishng
to establish a ginnery need onlj
>uy half as much machinery, thus
utting down the expenses to thai
ixtent in establishing a ginnerj
>lant. It will cost only half as mucl
o gin a bale of cotton, which wil
ave the farmers some, and enable
he srinnery to make a better profit
t will make it possible with the ginteries
now in existence to gin twic(
is much cotton, so that a wagor
;oing to the gin need not await its
urn all day, but may return home
,t once and haul another bale.
Altogether the patent seems the
lost important in the cotton ginning
ndustry since the days of Eli Whitey.

GENERAL BONHAM IN THE CITY
Gen. M. L. Bonham, who has as
many friends in Abbeville as he has
acquaintances, was here Monday on
legal business. He was looking fine.
His friends were glad to see him
again.
A GOOD SERMON. ' ,
Dr. J. L. Daniel preached a fine
sermon in the Methodist cnurch Sabbath
night on the "Tongue." Physicians,
he told us, look first to the
tongue to learn of the physical system,
and that the words spoken by
the tongue correctly indicate the
state of the moral system. The idea
advanced was well developed in the
progress of the discourse, which
showed study and preparation. The
doctor is a pleasing speaker, and an
imnMOfliva Ann
The Methodists of Abbeville have
cause to rejoice that he has been returned
to them for another year, and
we hope that this year will be as
prosperous with him and his church
as the past one was.
BAZAAR POSTPONED.
The Bazaar to be held by the Ladies
Working Society of the Methodist
church, has been postponed until
Friday, December 16th. This will be
a splendid opportunity to secure
beautiful and useful Christmas gifts
at reasonable prices. The ladies will
meet next Tuesday afternoon to complete
plans for the Bazaar.
COL. ROCHE RETURNS. .
Col. Patrick Roche has returned
from Anderson, where he serrod on
the jury in the Federal Court last
week. He tells us that one of the
jurors fainted in the jury room w^en
he was informed that Col. Renwick
Bradley was thinking of going to
work.
We were also informed that
Colonel Roehe was standing oat in
front of the Chiqaola Hotel one
morning when a gentleman abked
another Abbeville man who "the old
gentleman, standing there," was. He
was informed that it was Col. Roehe
of Abbeville,, who fought all through
the Mexican War, the War Between
the States, and was still a fighter.
The gentleman replied that he was
prepared to believe all that was saicfc
as he had played a game of set-back
with the Colonel the night, before,
and had gotten a licking to the tone
of fifteen games.
AT THE PARK.

The Park commission has made a
start in the way of a Zoo for the Abbeville
public park and have seeured

who go to the park on Sunday and
during the week.
The city is anxious to have other
animals and any one who has an elephant
and cares to donate it, can
do so with the assurance that it will
be accepted.
A MONKEY-FACED OWL
The Anderson Daily Mail gives ar
account of the killing of an owl witl
a monkey face in Anderson. Thik
species of owl it in !
only in "furrin" parts, and it is the
first one ever seen in this country. |
We have always been told that owls
look wise, and evidently they know',
where they belong when they wear
monkey faces.
Trouble never disappoints the chap
who is looking for it.
