. The DRAM DRINKER.
-G'OOD Goa ! is this my ancient friend,
1 cry’d ?
S— hang fu J head, roll’d up his eyes, and figh’d.
Mow altei’d from the man that once you knew,
to whims of fafhion, like the needle true.
I’ride of the gay, and leader of the ton,
The foul of plcafure’s circle long Iv ihone ;
‘Till draughts infiduous from the sparkling
bowl,
Deftroy’d the finer feelings of his foul ?
Jiy (low, but sure degrees, the poison spread,
Caftiiet’d the man, and left the beafl instead, —
Alt ! had you seen him iu his fhabhy dress,
Y ou would have felt what 1 inguXge can’t ex press:
Slipftiod, in (hots both destitute of foal.
And coal duji colored (lockings, full of holes ;
A pair of greasy breeches —knees quite bare
“With (carce a button modesty to spare :
An old black rufly waijhoat, and hh /hirt
Was, what remain’d, a p erf est patch of dirt ;
His coat —which his great-grand lire wore wh.cn
young,
In rags and tatters on Iris (boulders hung.
Upon his head a rufly felt he wore,
Which h\%Jhort matted locks, scarce cover’d o’er, j
These form’d the wardrobe of our once gay
friend—
These are the fruits which LOVE of GROG
attend :
Nay worfc than these, for reason thus dethron’d,
Such wretches are by all mankind difown’d ;
Disease and infamy their woes increase,
’Till death, in pity, gives them a release.

TH E Subscriber is empowered by

to receive a fubfeription for his Cot

tleman of the states ot South-Caroiina
and Georgia, who may wilh 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 oi the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a {mall
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few. days, and with a trifling cxpence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, fuchas rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend”
over a person competent to jfet them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to zoolbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this lubjefl I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underligned certi
ficate frpm a refpe&able Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eve
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 moft ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur

THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
oi the Bahama Iftamis, 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 states, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season fatting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean 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
(ample ot feed and cotton in pofieftion
ol the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my stay in Naf
iau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conftrudlion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice of using them.
