Tbu&tAay,
Cotton, Stock,
AND
Exchange Broker.
lIHE subscriber has taken an office in
the building lately occupied by
Messrs Stewart Si Hargraves, on the unnb
side of 11 road-street, opposite to the Post-
Office—where he offers his services in
the above business, and hopes, by strict
personal attention, to obtain the patron
age of his friends and the public.
I'he great facilities afforded by brokers
in commercial operations generally, render
it remarkable that the merchants of Au
gusta and the planters have long sustain
ed the inconvenience of having none, and
particularly a Cotton Broker. In almost
every other cotton mart the bnsiness is
principally done by brokers; and hence
the ease, certainty and dispatch with
which it is executed. The same system
is perfectly practicable here. The mer
chant, by applying at the office of the sub
scriber, may hereafter save himself the
trouble of sampling his cotton and looking
up a purchaser;—the planter need be no
longer involved in doubt and difficulty to
ascertain the true state of the market,
nor subject himself to the caprice of the
wary speculator—and the purchaser will
at all times know where to resort for cot
ton the market price.
Office Regulations relative to
Cotton.
Ist- In order to give time for sampling,
citizens offering cotton are requested to
eave the ware-house receipts by eight
o’clock, a, m.—ls left later than nine, sales

"enclosed in a letter of instructions, and
dropped in the letter box the night pre

2d. Cotton will be sampled and ‘receiv

if offered after that hour, sales cannot be
realized till next day.
3d. Warehouse expenses will invariably
be deducted front the account sales.
4th. Sales *ill commence at ten o’clock
and close at twelve, am.
sth. Persons choosing to limit and lim

WHEREAS some calumniating svotin
drel, lias thought proper to circu
late a most scandalous, false, and infamous
report of me, stating that I was shot at a
corn crib, in Franklin County, and that
1 am now dead and incapable of comply
ing with my contracts ; this is to infoim
all whom it may concern, that I can at
any time and place present a living con
tradiction to that report, and convince
the propagator, by such arguments, as
will make him confess tha< I am as much
or more alive than lie is; and by a pro
cess of reasoning directed irnmtdlateh to
the seat of understanding, I can heat it in
to his head, that 1 am sound wind and limb,
and hope to find a sufficient store of food,
without any resort to my neighbors corn
cribs, as always to enable me to give the
lie to such reports personally, and to en
joy a life lung enough to fulfill any en
gagements in which I may be a party.
And this is fiuther to certify, that anyoth
