WHITNEY AND THE COTTON GIN.
A cotton gin is a machine by which the rot

Whitney came to the South till cotton had to
be cleaned by hand; it took one Woman one
hour to clean one pound of cotton. Although
the land was best fitted for the growing of
ters found that they
could make no profit on their plantations.
But after the cotton pin was invented, all
this was changed, and to Eli Whitney all
thanks are due.
Eli Whitney went t<» the South to tench
school when quite a young man. He lived with
a southern family and heard much of the
cottln crojie and its troubles, fine day, while

And. in my opinion, the early inventors of the

the world which is just as great as that ren-

of steam. And >ou will be glad to know that
the first really successful in\enters were
Americans, who put out their machines from
1830 to IHtlO.”
“Wen* they very different from our ma

DALLAS BOY SCOUTS SECURE PERMA
NENT CAMP SITE.
The Dallas News says:
“The Boy Scouts of Dallas arc to have a
pennaumit camp site. .1. E. Earnsworth,
president of the Dalia* council, Boy Scouts of
Aimiica, yesterday announced thut a tract
of forty si\ acres surrounding Stewart’* lake, |
eight miles mirthwest of the city and a mile ■
and one half this side of Irving, has been
lea*ed and necessary buildings will be erect
cd. The location is from two Io three miles
off the Fort Worth interurban road, and cas-
ilv accessible Io the Scouts as a goal for their
‘hikes.’
“By ••Htablishing Hie camp and equipping
it for permanent use it is expected to place
the Boy Scout movement in Dallas upon such
a foundation as to insure the future of the or i
ganization, which ha* been built up during l()ll,n,
the year, in an effort to supplement the work .
of the public school.* and insure for future
years the right sort of citizens. Here, in the
open air, under the tree*, the opportunity will
be afforded for the development of those vir-
tues suggested in the scout oath and covered
in the idea* which gave birth to the organiza-
t ion.
