Savannah, June 3 ts-27 NOTICE. MR. EVE's arrival in Savannah, puts it in the power of the: fubferiber to anfwei any enquiries refpefting his Cotton Ginn's. All Sublcribers will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 32-ts Cotton Ginning. r HE Subscriber is empowered by JL Mr. E EE, of the Bahama Islands, to receive a fubfeription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Gen tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina and Georgia, who may wilh to become fublcribers, are requested to fend for ward their names as focn as convenient , in order that- the fubfeription may be doled. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent of the pow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con tracts that this Machine will gin 3oolbs. 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 p trifling expence, can be attached to any machine in use for other puipoles, fuchas tice machines, law or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend over a perlon competent to set them in motion, and fully to explain their sev eral powers, From fume linall expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from 150 to 2Colbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this f übjed I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the underligned certi ficate from a refpeclable Cotton Plan ter of this Hate, who has been an cye 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 mo ft ref pedable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may with to become a fubferiber. This machine has met with universal ap probation iu every part of the Weit fndies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORGIA , Chatham C.cuvty. IDO certify, that, being on a visitso r my health to New Providence, one of the Bahama Illands, 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 1 found to an swer. I hfe rainy season setting in a bout the time I received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve al lured me his machine was competent, from the calculation lie 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 liable, and, from a sample of feed and cotton in possession 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 law more than two people attend ing the iame, one a growri perfoi? and the other a lmall boy. This machine jis capable of being attached to almost any of those used for various purposes in this country ; the conltruiftion appears by no means complex, and every planter of conference in the Bahamas is in the practice of ufir.g them.
