Owing t ? rapid growth of Milt

and prospective needs of the city in
the matter of tights and power, grea<C
Improvements are now being made by
the Sumter Ice. Light and Power
Company, and more streets lights arc
to be put up In the city soon.
Thirty-six new arc lights have been
located, bringing the total up to
eighty-six; and there will doubtless
be enough more located to carry the
total to more than one hundred arc
lighCs for the city. By locating one
hundred, which are needed, the cost
per light per year will be $66.47,
which Is a big reduction in the cost.
The arc lights are to be 6.6 ampere or
1.200 candle power.
Several purchases have been made

of more light und power, a large

visor resulted in a disagreement, was

WONDERFUL KEVY COTTON GIN.
.Norfolk Man Has Investition That May
Revolutionize Industry.
From the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch.
It will l?e of Interest to the people
of Norfolk to know that a Noifolk
man, J. J. McNally, ha* invented and
patented a cotton ,gln that bids fair
to revolutionise the cotton industry of
the South. Mr. McNally has been di?
ligently applying himself to the con?
struction of the gin for the last two
years, in one cf the largest machine
shops in New England, and now re?
ports he now has it perfected. Mr. T.
H. Birdsong, a prominent ginner of
Courtland, Va., was in the city today
en route home from Boston, Mass.,
where he had gone to inspect the
working of this gin. When seen by a
reporter of the Ledger-Dispatch he
seemed very enthusiastic over what
he had witnessed, and expressed him?
self most emphatically as to its merits.
Mr. Birdsong said:
"The gin Mr. McNally has Invented
will, in my opinion, prove to be a
complete success and no doubt re?
volutionize the cotton ginning indus?
try of the South. I witnessed its suc?
cessful operation, saw it rapidly pull
seed without breaking a single strand
and leaving no Unters on the seed and,
what is most remarkable, without the
use of saws, knives or brushes. It Is
u \ cry simple affair, constructed en?
tirely of metal, and does not require
more than one-third the horse-power
required by the saw gin."
Mr. Birdsong showed the reporter
some cotton seed taken from the Mc?
Nally gin and stated, "I have seen a
great amount of cotton ginned, but
I have never seen the seed stripped of
lint so clean as that which passe?
through this gin."
"The invention is a process of gin?
ning on entirely new lines from the
old, and gins wet cotton as well as
dry, and It Is the only gin I have ev?
er seen that would successfully do
this. While in Boston I conferred with
several capitalists who are desirious
of taking a financial interest in the
oroject and placing the gin upon the
market in time for next season's
work.
"Mr. McNaUy Is to ship his gin to
my ginnery at Courtland next week,
where It will be installed and given
an endurance and capacity test upon
thirty bales of cotton I have ht?'d ov
er for this purpose. Experts from
Boston and elsewhere are anxious to
witness Its operation and will be on
hand when wctlned, and I have ro
doubt but that they will see a com
plots success in the operation of th<*
gin."
Mr. T. H. Synon, of this city, wh<
has an Interest with Mr. MoNally In
thta gin project* end financing th?
tame, was seen end bs said: "'im
