A Machine tu Pick Cotton, The Great Want Said to be Met at Last-An Invention Which Will Revolutionize the Cotton , Basliiess. The News and Courier of yesterday, says the Greenville News, contains a three column article regarding a cot tbnjpicking machine invented by C. T.'Slason, a young and very skillful mechanic of Sumter. OA staff Repoiter of the News and Courier' saw the machine tested in a cotton field on Mr. Mason's place at Sumter a few days ago, and although the cotton was very wet from the long spell of wet weather and had been open ready for picking folly six weeks, the machine which was ope rated by one horse and one man har vested cotton at the rate of over 200 pounds an hour, wliich would be at the rate of 2.0?? pounds a working day of ten hours. Mr. Mason is by no means satisfied with the present capacity of the machine and changes are now being made which it is be lieved will increase its capacity to about 4,000 pounds cf seed cotton a dayywhich is equivalent to three bajes of lint. It can be very easily seen, even by one unfamiliar with machinery, that the proposed changes will increase the picking capacity of the machine. Whether it will har vest three bales of cotton a dav. re mains to be pro?ed. Striking a fair average and putting the capacity at t#? bales a day any cotton planter who is subject to the intolerable trials and enormous expenses of harvest time will readily appreciate the al most incalculable value of such a ma chine. ^machme^wracTi'' is made of white oak, hickory and poplar, is four and - one-half feet long by lour feet wide, and nearly ' five feet high. This frame rests upon the axle Of two iron wheels three and one-half feet in diameter. These wheels are E?iu?ted about the middle of the frame, and upon the right hand wheel there :s ? sprocket which communicates lb? motion as the -wheels turn on i h .round to the ma chinery on the it i : of the frame, which picks out th* i-otton. A chain band passes over tb* sprocket and communicates the tn >tion to a chain wheel on a shaft which passes cross wise from one side --t the machine ti the other, near th?- top ?nd the reai end of the frame. In the centre o this shaft there is another chaii wheel which communicates the mo tion of the shaft, by means of : chain band, to another chain whee in the centre of another shaft, whie crosses the frame near the front c the machine-. Two pairs of bevelle ?ear wheels on this front shaft com inunicate motion to two perpendici lar shafts, from which radiate tl staffs or,fingers which pick the co ton. These perpendicular shafts rc up from the bottom of the frame nei the front of the machine on each si< and vary in height according to tl size of the machine which it is d sired to make. Upon these sha! which are mr.de of the best steel a adjusted a series of iron circles, inches in diameter, and from tht circles the picking shafts radiate li the spokes of a wheel from the ht Th^e -are 8 s U fis to each circle, t wh'g?efcuriioer of shafts in the pr ent machine being 120. As t ebafts turn, the circles, and sha radiating from th;-iu turn backwai ??zr-r^-?M^--ihe forward i lae stalls overlap each ocner, n covering completely the entire sp? from one side of tue machine to I other.? \At the "rigirt hand -sid-^ the machine a pair of shafts for I horse or mule is attached to an eqn king bar, which while the ho walks to one side throws the resi ant of the pull in the centre. In going into a cotton field c of the wheels goes in one alley, I other wheel goes in the other all the horse walks in the right ha alley in front of the right hand whi and the row of cotton plants pas through the centre of the mach between the series of picking sta As the machine moves forward 1 cotton plants of course pass bs through it, and as the backward s tion of'th? picking staffa is exa'c equatt?Jhe backward .motion of I piante, the staff- enter the plants a come out again at the same poi In other words; the plant is not tc or jostled to an appreciable '.,ext< inPits passage through; the sta Now, to under .t." ! howjtbe ste accomplish the pi'-fciog of the cot' from the bolls fhe- .nntruction of I staffs themselves : it be understo They are hollow < .indore ot sh brass, are art ievh >ud a half in ameteteeight inchrs long and hf a conlea!'shaped pi mt which alic them to insert .themselves easily tween the twigs and branches of 1 plant.. The surface of the staffs; perforated with numbers of elipti' snape cf Ho?es, and 4q5 th?se- op?n'ir are set sharp pointed teeth wh: are adjusted the thickness, of { metal below the staffs. Thus { outer surface of the staffs is* as smot as a piece of polished, ? brass, and passing the hand' Of '?ny '?ubstai not fibrous over .-them the teeA i not. felt. The moment, however, the sjjgfi'i ccme iQ.OTD^ct^.^ih tqfe {cot ton tte' '-fibre" ?ioksvdoyrn into the openiogs ?D which the teeth are set and is caught by the sharp points of the teeth. Now the picking staffa besides their ?otary motion backwards around ' he perpendicular shafts from which they radiate have an independ ent motion around their own axes, I first in or.e direction and then in arr j other. White" in the .plant and in contact with the operrboliVthey-turn in the direction to which the teeth point. Ic this way the teeth pull out the cotton from the bolls and the staffs then pass out of ??he plant,-, and by their-\;rptaiy~jt motion around the sbaTt convey tue cotton tbey^?ve at tached to them round to the opposite sides of the shafts which are boxed in as receptacles for holding the cotton. I When the staffs.have reached these receptacles they reverse their motion, and the cotton is wiped eff them by little leather strips into the side boxes. The cotton then falls upon a piece o? canvas belting, which turns like an endless apron and con veys it to the back of the machine, where it is caught by an elevator and taken up to the top of the ma chine and thrown into two bar's which are adjusted at the back. The double motion which the staffs have is ob tamed by the use of friction rollers brought into contact with upper and lower friction plates. The meehan ism is beautifully simple and not in the least liable to get out of order. The whole machine weighs les9 than 300 pounds and turns around in its own length. -it ia mme UH armne time to state what the machines will cost, as the price put upon them will depend very much upon the quantity of cot ton that each machine will harvest in a day. It will be the effort of the Syndicate, if the machines are sold outright, to place them at such a fig ure hat they can be paid for in one reason by the caving to the planter in the cost of harvesting his crop. It may be, however, that the polioy of those Controlling the patents will be to lease the machines. As soon as tome changes in the friction plates, which ar? now being made, are completed, it is desired by those directly interested that a com mittee of cotton planters shall wit ness an exhibition of the machine and give a written statement of its work. The first bale of cotton picked by the machine and the very firut bale ever harvested by machinery 19 ex pected to be on exhibition to day or to morrow at the Charleston Cotton Exchange. The grade of the cotton is not the best, no particular atten tion being paid to its cultivation. Its condition as to cleanliness and free dom from trash, however, will show that the machine has practically solved the great problem of harvest ing cotton by machinery. Craning ihe English and Black Walnut. One of the curiosities of tree graft ing is to be seen on the old Asbury place now owned by Alexander & Harris, near this oityy. where stands a large black walnut tree which the late Dr. Asbury experimented upon eome years ago. He grafted a twig of an English walnut tree m the bl ck walnut, and (he tree is this year loaded with two sorts of .walnuts. The crop of English walnuts, while joj^jaj^j is very fine and fllnjor Har - ris yesterday "brought several of them to the city. They are as large as any that are to be found in the fruit stores. This is considered a remarka blesucce88in grafting, and we are told that it is the only instance in tte United States. The graft was made about six-years ago and this is the j fiiet time the tree fruited. Major Harris says there's millions in the old Asbury yet, Borne new bonanza being discovered every day or BO. Tbe Kieffer Pear. As our readers well know, the Ru ral New Yorker has taken great paine to ascertain the quality of the great Keiffer pear, with the result that the most that can be said in ita lavor ie that it may prove one of the beBt for preserving ur canning.
