Winchester Rifle Invented by Man Named Winn of Chester. | The Dillion Herald is authorty for j this story: "It may not be generally I known." remarked Mr. W. W. Evans | in conversation with a Herald man about the world's great inventions, "but the Winchester rifle was invented by a man of the jame of Winn of Chester, S. C., aim that is how it got its name. It was during the civil war,. Winn was a native of Chester. He tried to get the Confederates to use the rifle in the civil war, but for seme unknown reason the head of the war department did not seem to think much of it and he turned Winn's offer down. Winn then went north and disposed of it to the Union army. The rifle was used against the Confederates with deadly effect toward the close of the civil war. When tne war was over northern manufacturers secured the patent rights and made a tremendous fortune out of it. "And there was another useful article invented by a South Carolina man who lived nearer home. The old turn plow was the product of the inventive genius of a Mr. Williamson, the father of Bright Williamson and Mclver Williamson of Darlington county. This was aiong about 1870. Until then everybody used the old shovel plow. Mr. Williamson was a large planter and use ; thee most modern methods of the day in carrying on his farming operations. His son, Mclver Williamson, also a large planter, is the originator of the William son meinuu ui ^njvvu'g cum. i uvn ?, think Mr. Williamson ever patented the turn plow, but gave it as contribution to the advancement of the agricultural industry." "Although history gives him the full credit, still Eli Whitney was not the inventor of the cotton gin," continued Mr. Evans. "He was the pat i At Eig] WHETHER cr traffic or hi road, "Stan and burn up comp] i That is why its sr I the increase in toti Experienced drivei "Standard'* Motor their way to place | But that is not n< ideally balanced ti of the highway wh for ! gram er irh i if v-r% 11 >V) r. * fj T '< i 11 T \y wa ! cylinders and spai your crank ease, ai , eene. fill with PO car, Then n<:' Onk ?n -] .s?e * hat ?
