' SOUTH E BN GENIUS BENEATH A BUSHEL, W. T. Crews Cells Attention te Feats Which Oagbt to Hare Galaed Marh Fame. To the Editor of The State: In your issue of February 13, there appears an interesting communication from Mr. Kollock in reference to the real Inventor of the cotton gin, whether it was Whitney or a Mr. Kipcaid or Fairfleld county. The facts which Mr. Kol lock narrates are prac tically the same that I heard from the late Capt. James O. Meredith, prob ably one of the most widely ?^*d and best informed men hi the State. He had a most remarkable and retentive memory and could interest .any" hind of a gathering with the most inter esting historical Incidents, written or traditional. I am glad that Mr. Kollock has I mentioned the incident, and as hej says, we should all be interested in | having the troth come out hi -these matters. And in this connection, I want to say that Fulton himself is] not .really the. inventor or the steam boat. He was, no doubt, the first put auch an Invention to practical u but a man by the name of Longstreet (probably; > ?en. Longstreet's grand-' father), invented the first steamboat and plied,- it on the Savannah rl#er some time in the year 4702 or 1794. It la an interesting coincidence that, while Whitney was residing at or near AugustttlOa., where he Is said to have Invented the cotton gin, this . Mr. Long3treet was also residing In or near time (1792 or 1794) ? gentleman Borne where in Louisiana .discovered the possibility of extracting oil from cotton seed and actually, carried on the business for a While. Notwith standing all this some New Engl?nder will be ready to claim priority In this invention also. And coming nearer home, you know It is an undisputed fcci that a Laurent? man, the late "Uncle" Eddie Ander son, invented the-cotton screw press,] which waa generally used all over the j South until the close of the war. > en/there _ is _v oho, fellow dUsen, or the any exhibition was;?vei?nipde by'Beit _tere are other inventions , r<Se%Tn?fn ?enius that could be! J brought to light and I am glad Mr. Kollock has called attention to t Wv%;#JWae tat I have Said anout th? stekm jat anuV extracting oil1 from, cotton seed is not traditional, as I havo in | my possession an old. print published at the time giving an account of what I have mentioned, and these inven tions,- at least the Invention of the steamboat by Longstreet, antedate Fulton** Invention by more than 12 years. I don't know whe&^ihe" pres ent mode of extracting oil from cot tAn aaori Ufa. iWw* discovered- sr. in vented, hut 1 'do know that we had] no cotton ' seed meal and hulls until M...W- ..n? *L-_ I ,vua niKJi ut<9 wait.

Boston, Feb. 20.?"In uiy opt pion, one of the great menaces of onr timo lies ?In the-constant and increasing incursions of the executive upon the legislative domain," Senator 'Oliver., republican, of Pennsylvania, told members of the New England Wo men's.
