Immense Economic Benefits It Will Confer on the South, ‘The Clemont Attachment {s 2 small cotton: gin used by theyarn manufacturer in connec tion with the top flat cotton card tor convert- ing seed cotton directly luto sliver. It differs from tho plantation-gin In the following, vi: ‘Tho saws are smaller and are set closer t ecther on the saw-slinft, tho teeth of the saws are finer,thobrushissmallerand more thickly set with bristles, the saws and brush both run much slower, and the brush runs but [it- tlo faster than the saws, Italso has a pecu- liar moter or set of combining plates, which removes the motes and trash from the lint as it {s taken from the seed. The seed cotton is cleaned of all dust, grit, and much leat trash and motes before it is passed fo tho nt- tachment, by 8 small and inexpensive ma- chine called the cotton-eleaner, It occupies a space of only 40x40x48 inches. The size of the gin is reguinted by the sizo of the card with which it Is to be connected. The oxtremo dimensions of a gin fbr a thirty- six-inch card are 18x18x56 inches, Itis framed to fitthe framo of the card, in place of the licker-In and lap roll ag used In the old method, which entitles it to tho appellation “ attach- ment.” The Clement Attachment, therefore 43 simply the plantation or Whitney gin so modified and Improved by Clement and others that it works in direct connection with themanufncturer’s card, It gently removes tho Hnt from tho seed without braking or naping it, and transfers it to the card cylnder by means of a slow brush, without tangling, in exact proportion to the capacity or require- ments of tho card,—no condensing, no Japping. It at once dispenses with atl opening and lap- ping machinery, and forms a new process of mantfacturing, whereby sced cotton Is made directly into sliver. Tho sliver is then made into yarn by the usttal method. Many who may be interested in reading of the Clement Attachment new process of manufacturing, may not be acquainted with yarn-making machinery, the peculiar names and offices of the different parts, and Its workings. I will, therefore, describe the old anethod, in this connection, in order to give a clearer understanding of the new. ‘Tho first operation In the old method {s to open and loosen up the lint from its pressed or compressed state, and prepare it for carding. ‘Tho most improved machines now in use for these purposes are the compount opencr Japper and the finisher lapper with evencr. Tho latter forms the lap, which isa kind of wide cotton bat, into a large roll called the laproll. The lap roll isthen passed to its place on the card frame, where ft Is slowly unrolled and fed to the card; tho feed- ing {s done by what Is known as the Jicker-in and feed rolls, Tho Heker-in and — feed rolls ara fitted to ths card-frame in close proxiinity to the card cylinder, and, as & were, lick in the lint to he card cylinder, ‘The eard cylinder re- volyes under a system of top flat cards In such a manner ag to comb It aut, stralghten, or jay parallel tho fibre. Tho fibre thus straightened fs then removed from the enrd cylinder by anothor and smaller cylinder, known ns the doffer. It is then stripped from the doffer bya rapldly reciprocating comb Into n thin sheet, which fs passed through a. guido and par of calender rolls shaped into acontinuous roll or sliver. By thls method. a line or system of cards is always used; the silver from the different cards is ail passed into one trough, or railway box, as it fs called, and conveyed by an endless apron or belt to the rallway drawing-head, where it fs all united and drawn into one, and delivered to a yevolving tinean. ‘The cans so filled with sliver are assert to the strawingt Tame, where the sliver is again doubled andadrawn, It is then passed in the enns to the coarse speeder, where it isdrawn smaller and wound on Bpools., ‘The spools ure then passed to the fine speeder, where the roving fs doubled, «lawn, and wound on other spools, Thence to the Spluning-frames, where the roying is spiny inte yarn, ‘I will.new give the new, or seed-cotton process. Tho first operation isto pass the seek cotton through the cotton-cleaner, which cleans it of all dust, grit, and much o he leaf trash aud motes. It is then uniform- Ty distributed on an enilless revolying apron of the feeding table, so situated as to plice it nto tho Clement gin, which is attached to the card. ‘Tho xin. takes tho lint from the seed, the brush takes it from the gin, and the ecard cylinder takes it from, the brush, It fs then carded, drawn, roved, and spun, a8 by the oldinethod. By this process there ts no tangling, naping, cutting, or breaking the fbre,—no condensing, no packing, no open- ing, ne picking, nor lapping, ‘Tho advan- tages that this fences presents over the old method, to both the manufacturer and the roducer, nay ba brieily summed wp as fol- jows, viz. ‘To the nuimtfaeturer, a great auving in amount and cost of machinery, mo- tive power, operative ant contingent ex- ponses, less waste, less danger from fire, 0 superior quality and jncreased quantity of production, Itutonce retieves the prodiieer and baling machinery, with thelr inany attendant expenses, amounting to milllons of dollars annually, ‘olin V.

Tho Strib- lings, however, soon had a smull forco on baud and announced that they would start tho mill, Befuro it was started TH no US MeO seg aN it, spent an hour describing to the visitors ovory uirt of the machinery, which was so simple that ts very slmplicity required oxplanntion. After every possiblo qucation wns answered, tho water was turned on, and the inill was started, Ido- seribed its operation and mechanisin so fully in a former letter that Ido not think it necessary to xo over that again. Tho little mill never be- haved hetter. The seed cotton fed intu tho gin eame outin the most regulur and flocey silver that could be Imagined, and tho crowd hud tho best opportunity of examining ita work. Onl once Was there tt misndyenture. Wille tho mill was running at its very smoothest there came a sudden snap aud n stoppage of eve) dung.

RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION. It waa very soon evident that no one of the visitors had beon disuppointed, but that all wero more thin pleased, “Cho outeamne of the attach- ment was diseu! and tho vurlous objections offered and answered. Tho maln trouble that hus been seen in it up to this time, viz; tho procuring and storing of seed cotton, was answered, by tho experlonce of tho ‘tribe Inge.

Mr. Stribilng says he vould get ton times whut he wanted. Aglance ut tho seed ua thoy camo from the attuchinent showed that every purticlo of lint hid boon taken off.
