A reporter called at the 1'almnur A
Clark cotton ginning establishment
this morning in obediance to a desire
to know something „f ,he immense
business this firm eipects to do with
in the nest two months. The reporter
was immediately taken in by the genial
Mr. Clark and shown more about the
business of ginning than we could tell
our readers in a thousand years. The
season has already opened with them
and Mr. Clark informed ua that they
made a run of twenty nine bales last
Saturday. "The report is being circu.
It ted throughout the country," said
Mr. Clark "that tbe farmer would
loose bis seed if he brought bis cotton
to ua to gio. I wish you would aay
to our trad; that we have spent a great
deal of time and money arranging so
that the customer might get his return
of teed in the quickest and most con.
lenient manner. We have put a aeed
box in such a place and it is so ar-
ranged that as soon as the customers
load is nffbii wagon he drivee around
the shed weighs his empty wagon
drives uuder the seed bos. gets his
seed and is gone in five minutes time.
Say to the costumer, that he csn get
a part of his seed all of his seed or as
much additional seed as he wsnts
Tell him also, that his seed never
mixes with that in the seedroom."
Then we were shown the blower with
a damper in it so arranged that it
turned the cotton seed before it
nached the seedroom and elevated
it through the separatng roon and into
the seed box. This is one of the neat-
est and mo t convenient contrivances
which could have been added to the
mcchanical part of the institution.
In case a cotton raiser should wsntto
save new kind of seed Messer*. Palmour
& Clark csn gin the cotton and save
them the seed with ss little effort as
any other establishment of this kind.
"For the benefit of the other gin,"
said Mr. Clara, "I will say that they
will be arranged just the same as we
are here. Tbey are making their seed
box today."
The assurance of a return of cotton
seed will bring many new customers
to Stillwater. Yesterday many in-
quiries were made at this office relative
to the question snd we have made it a
point to satisfy ourselves and inform
the publio to the best of our
