■i
Who departed this life ,
June 26th, 1796
FAME, seize tby clarion—found along the
fhorr,
America’s great Artist. is no more—*
Hp whole sagacious enterprize could scan,
Os Harry worlds, the motion and the plan;
In horrian mechauifm the whole could trace,
And tear the veil from myftick nature’s face;
Me now is gone—whom earth would hold in
vain,
His mind enlarg’d—rejeft* the mortal chain—
Fiom deep relearch and fludious labors flown,
To worlds before by Icicnce made his own!
Modrft—ingenious —-philofophic—wife,
Who can enough h:s loft perfections prize ?
Not only knowledge decks the Sage’s urn,
Rut civic virtues round the patriot mourn :
Os manners f’unple, tiro’ of taste refin’d,
His bosom glow’d with love of human kind ;
His country’s weal how ardently he lov’d
A life of faithful frrvice now hath prov’d.
In trying times as in the profb’rous true,
No change of State, his fifthnefs could subdue.
And yc who saw him in the. fofter light,
‘Of hufband —father—-brotHer—give delight,
Yc befl can tell what his domefttc pruife,
Who palt with you his all inilrufting days ;
To public zeal what private worth he join’d ;
How lov’d a parent, and a friend how kind!
Alafs my country—what a loss for you ;
Who such amass of talents shall ren"w ?
Who shall restore Lhe Brilliance of his mind ?
Or fill the space his abfeuce leaves behind
What Sage more firm thy councils shall adorn ?
What abler aft iff for thy Fame be born ?
Who tried in ficiU, in various office tried,
Ne’er gave thee cause of mourning, till he died !
Columbia's boast wherever now temploy’d,
To perfect schemes by forctailc here enjoy’d.
Whatever works, of Heaven’s Imperial State,
Thy mind engages, or thy thought elate ;
Still it on earth a R< colleftivc view,
May foot he thy fancy or pall scenes renew !
Uh ! to thy country oft dirett a ray
Os guardian light, from thy celestial day;
Inspire her flatelmen, and inllrutl her youth,
To follow thee, in innocence and truth :
On freedom's hale to rule the rising slate,
And be like thee in cqhfcious virtue, great;
So distant ages shall applaud thy name,
And learn from Ritienhoose the road to
Fame.

Cotton Ginning.
H E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E V E, of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cor
ton Cinnmng Machine. Gen
tleman of the hates of South-Carolina
a id Georgia, who may wi(h to become
fubferibers, are requefled 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 thepow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin
of clean cotton per day, with a small
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 use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw or grill mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set 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 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjefl I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the undesigned certi
ficate from a refpetlable Cotton Plan
ter of this Hate, who has been an eyt
witnefs of the execution done by this
machine, and to variofs Certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the moft ref
peClable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wilh to be'come a fubferiber.
This 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 Islands, 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 fbi/a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season letting 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 flaple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in poflcffion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion.. During my flay in Nas
sau 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
if other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almofl any
of those used for various purposes in this
country,; the conflru&ion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
confequcnce in the Bahamas is in the
practice ofufing them.
