From Tlie News and Courier. Tho uutumu of 1SS4 bills fair to be n memorable epoch for the Southern States, not only because it is likely to bring to an cntl the long reign of lie- publican misrule in our National af fairs, but because it promises to usher into sueeessful use an invention which will certainly give a wonderful impetus to our great agricultural in- clustfy, anil may bring about a ful revolution in our system hUmr. We refer to tho new e&tton picking machine, known as Mhson’s Harvester. Tho multitude of in quiries about it that roach us from all parts of tho Bouth shows how wldo- spreads is tho public interest in tho success of the invention. Tho opening bolls will In a few weeks spread “the snow of Southern summer” over our fields, and before the close of the present month it is hoped that there will be abundant op portunity for the final test of the new Harvester. Since the last crop was gathered no time has been lost and no endeavor has been spared by the Com pany which owns the patents to pre pare for this crop a machine which would satisfactorily do the work, of picking the cotton from the plant and take the place of the expensive and tedious process of hand labor. Sev eral machines of slightly varying styles have now been completed and are ready to straddle the cotton rows. At the close of the last season Mr. Mason had succeeded in perfecting a machine which would pick out the open cotton without injury to the growing plants, or to tho unmatured cotton bolls and blooms. This ma chine, which was tested in the pres ence of large numbers of planters, demonstrated that the principle which was to solve the great problem had been discovered. The mechanical ap plication of the principle at that time | was not perfectly satisfactory to Mr Mason. It was too complicated am costly, and in other respects ucedec improvement. The conveyors which remove the cotton from the boxes where it is deposited by the pickin stems, were not of sufficient capacity to remove the cotton as fast as it was picked. To remedy the defects of con struction and to simplify tl>e ma chine has been the aim of Mr. Mason's work during tho past six months. The coining tests wiHTjesUsitow how com pletely ha has succeeded in his diffi cult task. The machine is now quite light, weighing only about 300 pounds and is shapely as well as handy. Yet it is so strong that it cannot easily get out of order, and its manipulation re quires no other skill than the knowl edge of how to drive a horse or mule. Uutil the teat shall have been made it is imposible to say what the capacity of the machine will be. Its inventor is confident that it will harvest 4,000 pounds of seed cotton in a day of ten hours. After the first tests, which will be made near tho company’s simps at Bum ter, S. G\, it is likely that tests will be made in dillereut parts of this Btate and other cotton-growing sec tions. A letter from the Treasurer of the World’s Exposition at New Or leans says that, in coifiplianco with a suggestion made by the Cotton Har vester Company, the Director General will appoint a committee of compe tent Judges to witness a trial . oC the Cotton Harvesting Machine At such time and place as shall be designated by tho Uarvoster Company. This ar rangement has been made in order that the real merits of tho machine may be conclusively demonstrated. In December, when tho exposition will open, and in January when it will probably be only fairly organized ar d largely attended, the cotton in the fields will not be in favorable condi tion for picking. Buch cotton as niigbt be preserved on the plants for the purpose would be wind-tossed, stained and full of trash. What the Cottou Harvester Company desires to demonstrate is that their machine is espeeialiy adapted for gathering the cotton at precisely the same time that it is picked by hand. To demonstrate this it is likely that sometime about the middle of October will be lix^for the test. The committee will then have every opportunity of examining the work performed by the machine upon the cotton plants when filled with blooms, forms, unripe bolls and open bolls. Whatever award the judges may decide to make can be made during the Exposition, and a machine will, of course, be on exhibi tion as a part of the Bouth Carolina exhibit. The deep interest which is felt throughout the South in Mr. Mason’s work is shown by the large number of prominent gentlemen who travel long distances to visit the shops in Sumter to j,ee it. •They come incredulous that the machine will ever succeed in the practical work of picking cotton; but they go away convinced that its suc cess is assured.

UR OJEt Speer’s Port Grape Wiue. FOUR YEARS OLD. This CELEBRATED WINE is the pure juice of the dead ripe Oporto Grape, raised 111 Speer’s vineyards. Its invaluable I’ouie and Strengthening Properties are unsurpassed by any other wine. Being proiiuced under Mr. .Speer's own personal supervision, its purity and genuineness are guaranteed by the principal hospitals and boards of health who have examined it. The youngest child may partake of it, and the weakest invalid use it to advantage. It is particularly beneficial to the aged and debilitated, and suited to the various ail ments that aliect the wcoker sex. It is in every respect a wine to be relied on. Hpeek’s Unfeumexted Geaki Juice is the juice of the Oporto Grapes preserved in, its natural, fresh, sweet state as it runs from the press by fumigation, tlicrcbv destroying the exciter of fermentation. It is perfectly pure, free from spirits and will keep in any climate. fcjpEEit’s llunouxDY is a dark rich medium drv wine used by the wealthy classes as a table or dinner wine, and by physicians in cases wlicrc a dry wine instead of a sweet port is desired. ypKnii’s (Sociauith) Claret is held m high estimation for its richness as a dry table \vine~espcTciaUy stuted lor dinner u£e. Speer’s I*. J. Siierrv is a wine of sujh- r:or character and partakes of the rich qualities of the grapes from which it is made. Epeer’s P. J. Brandy is a pure distillation from the grape, and stands unrivalled in this country for medicinal purposes. It lias a peculiar flavor, similar to that of the grapes from which it is distilled.
