I have found already some of the
“sweet uses’ that belong only to
what is called troubie, which is, after
all, only a deepened gaze into life.

Another beater frails the cotton as
it comes in. All four laps come out
as one sheet of uniform thickness.
A seventh machine known as a
“card” completes the cleaning of
the cotton and separates the fibers
so that they can be drawn parallel
with each other.
Probably the most wonderful anid
beautiful sight is the cotton as it
leaves the big drums. Perhaps forty
inches wide a fiber sheet slips loose
from the wire studded roll as thin
as tissue paper, and is gathered in-
to a set of reducing rolls which con-
vert it into a snow white rope about
an inch in diameter, known as a
sliver. This is coiled in a can about
three feet high and a foot in diam-
eter.
Six slivers are combined into one
in the first drawing frame, which
consists of a series of rolls, the last
pair of which revolve six times as
fast as the first pair, thus making
the sliver that comes out of t
frame six times as long, but of
same diameter as the ones that went
in. Six of these latter slivers, in their
turn are fed into a second drawing

frame and transformed into one, so
that the final sliver is made up of
216 original slivers. The sliver is
now a mass of parallel fibers. The
succeeding three operations are in-
tended to give it a certain amount of
twist, so that the will cling
together while the size is reduced.
The “slubber” takes these and
simultaneously twists and stretches
them into one strand, much longer,
but with a diameter reduced to that
of a clothes line, called
Three of these machines finally get
the thread to the required size for
use in cloth. The called
“woof” that is to across the
goods is wound on a bobbin and is
ready for the loom, but the thread
that is to become “warp” which runs
lengthwise of
long journey.
It is taken to the “spooler” and
wound on spools that hold about a
mile of thread. Three or four hun-
dred of these are set in a frame
known as the “warper creel” and
tightly wound, side by side on a big
reel known as a ‘“warper beam.”
To make an average piece of
goods forty inches wide requires
about two or three thousand warp
threads. So five of the warper
beams each containing 400 threads
are put into a machine called the
“slusher.” There yarn is unwound
and passed through a box of hot
fibers

| cylinders filled with live steam, thus
starched and dried—a
ing to make the
tangle and less liable to injury by
the friction of the shuttle—it is
wound around the ‘loom beam”.
This loom beam is then taken to the
loom where the cloth is made.
This process is much simpler than
is- ordinarily supposed. Each alter-
nate thread goes through an ‘“‘eye”
of one set of harness and the others
process serv-
through the corresponding ‘eyes’
of another set of harness. In the
weaving process for plain cloth the
one harness goes up as the other goes
down, so that the shuttle with the
woof, or single thread, passes under
every other thread and over alter-
nate ones. Next trip through it
passes over the ones it went under
before and under those it passed
over.
It is then steamed and ironed.
Then it is folded and baled, in which
form it is ready for the market.
The fancy weaves are made
looms with more harnesses and com-
plicated threading, but the principle
is the same.
The Textile Department now has
on
on hand five bales of cloth worth
about $1,800.00

series of articles to appear within the next
few days introducing various Departments

The arrival of the girls in College
Station was made quite an event by
the cadet corps. One of the most re-
ceptive reception committees that
could have been formed and consist-
ing of almost the entire cadet corps
served to provide unusual entertain-
ment for the young ladies and make
this visit an exceptional one for them.

More than 400 students of the |
| freshmen and sophomore classes of
Clemson College (South Carolina)
“struck” and departed on special
Shr
clothes, at
Hall and attended to Guion Hall by
members of the corps.
Battalion had charge of all arrange-
ments for their reception and enter-
tainment and much credit goes to him
for the enthusiastic expressions of
enjoyment voiced by the girls before
their departure.
Mr. Harrison wishes to thank Mrs.
Bizzell, Mrs. Kyle, Miss Martha Good- |
win, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Dew, Mrs. Gain- |
er, and L. G. Jones for their cooper-
ation with him in making the enter- |
tainment of the girls so successful. |
He also expresses himself as well
pleased with the courteous and gentle-
manly action of the boys who acted |
as escorts to the girls.
To President Bizzell, Colonel Mul- |
ler, and Major Ashburn he is indeed
grateful for their pleasure in making
it possible for the cadet corps to par-|
ade on this occasion.
