Cotton Ginning.
T’’ H E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E F E, of the Bahama I Hands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the states of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wish to become
fubferibers, are requeued to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the. Machine, independent of the pow
er that impeHit, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a final i
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in ule
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
favv or grist mills. Mr. Eve will lend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From feme small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can he ginned in this
machine per day. For further inxorrna
tion upon this lubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underlined certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an evc
witnefs of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the molt ref
peftable Planters in that country-. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish to become a fubferiber.
Ths machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Weft
indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County .
iDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama I Hands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the southern Hates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season setting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve .af
fix red me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clears out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in poffcffbn
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth cf
this opinion. During my ltay in Nas
sau I frequently viiited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never favv more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. Tins machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of thofc used for various purposes in this
country ; the conftruft'on appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
praftice of ufmg them.
