Picking Cotton by Machinery.?Augusta, Nov. 12.?The Mason Cotton Harvester, which has ?>con anxiously lookc I for here for several days, arrived to-day and was exhibited in operation In a field of cotton in the Kxpositiun grounds this af'crnoon, in the presenoe of a large crowd of interested spectators. The machine gathered at the rate of 300 pounds nti hour, or 3,000 pounds for an ordinary woikiug day. The hushes have been killed by frost and the cotton has been open in the bolls about two months, but despite these drawbacks the cotton which w >h picked was ginned without being passed through a c'e.vter, and produced a good clean samp o. Mr, Patrick Walsh, the President of the Kxpositiun nnd the editor of the Augusta Chronicle, was present during lite trial of the machine and said: "1 outsider it a most wonderful machine. It picks the cot#.??? in,,lor most adverse circumstances with out injuring the plants and uuripe bolls and it gathers enough to make it an implement of grc it value." Tur Pnrss Association.?
