The true ground of objection to such a patent is that the thing is not a new invention or dis covery. There are a plenty of people now living in this Coun ty who remember when cotton bagging was used altogether, andjjute was unknown. Even as late as 1840, this was the case to a great extent, as domestic cotton manufacture was expen sive at that gme. The foreign made jute bagging was cheap est, and so the change was made. It certainly behooves the cot ton planters to keep an eye on this rascal, lest they wake up some fine morning to find that they have been disgracefully flanked; for it is a well known fact that a patent can be ob tained on anything, even aft auger hole, unless some oppos ing interest interferes. Gen. Williams (ex-Governor of South Carolina) manufactur ed cotton bagging largely at his factory at Society Hill with his own slaves as far back as 1830. At least there are such gentle- tlemen as Hon. W. H. Evans, Col. John Witherspoon, Capt. Samuel W. Evans, Capt. Ed ward E. Evans, James P. Wil son, Esq., Maj. J. J. Mclver, Capt. E. M. Griffin, Dr. Furman Wilson, David R. Williams, Esq., and many others (and I refer to these gentlemen with out their permission), who are much more familiar with the facts I state than I am. R. K. C.
