OF TIIE
COTTON GIN MAKER AND GIN
NER’S GUIDE.
BY J EMPLETON REID.
THE importance of properly preparing the Staple
of any country or section is well known,but to
no country or section is it of such importance ns these
that grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple*
Therefore, under this and other consideration*, 1 pro
pose to publish by subscription n>y system and practice
in Cotton Gin making and Ginning.
With the advantage of many years, experience—-
he sacrifice of mueh time and labor—and b lieving
that't nave brought it nearer In perfect .on than any
other person, l submit if so the public m a concise
and correct m inner—with my late practice atd with
many improvements besides the valuable one of the
application of the Friction Wheels, and new mode of
making the brush, (which I have patented in the Re
public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last
improvement, which much increases the specd n gri
lling, and improves the Gotten, (It is well repres nteii
in the plates and explained in the work.) The work
to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good
binding, with ten well engraved plates, illustrative !
the system; ‘of the Gin complete, plans, elevations,
sections, and figures in detail, with references aid d<-
scription of every part. Also plates of plan and eleva
tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, Sir. i ai
■’ulat ions of gear in speeding the gin, with paiticular
description, cxplanat on and directions to the Colton
Planters in construct ng the gin-house and gear, and
genera! management of the giri, cotton, &c.
With the rmos and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any goal workman may execute the
whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge
.‘or himse.f in constructing his House, Gear, ir.d
in selecting a Gin that is rig'iilv made in every respect,
and of good materials; therefore being a great sav tig
or gain to hint, first, in cleaning nis crop in half the
time usually required; and in pu k ng and motetng hi.-
cotton well, so as to command the highest price in
market; in the durability of his Gin, which, if made
by the directions given will last to pek a thousand
hags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins to do the aims.) And further, then
is no risk or danger of burning the House. Cotton, &o,
by taking fire from t lie Gin on the new friction arc I
plan, though you were to g ve it double the motion
Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing will In
set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be
ing the result (all prejudices aside) of fair and repeat
ed experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know
ledge and skill.)
If I were going to continue the Cotton Gin mailin'.,
business in this country, I should not trouble the. pub
lic with this Piospcctiis for 1 would much rather
work for money than write for it as in Ihe first case.
I would rto it strict justice.—in the latter, I must ask
allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its
support.

PROPOSALS G-r A~2ffSW WOfiS
TO BK KNTIILtI)
GEOJLGIIA ILLUSTRATED,
hi a series of Original Pictures, 0:1 stcil, with let
ter-press descriptions.
f SIHE plan of publ.sbuig in successive numbers
.43. pic.orial works, illustrative of iho scenery o’
countries, li.es long be n a populai one in Europe and
is rapidly gaining favor in our own country.
The prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georg.a, although novel, will ;mdo'jbt
edly iind universal favor, an J be regarded as it is by
the editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible.—
There is much scenery in our State, that is not, sur
passed in beauty and sublimity, by (bat of any oilier
State in the Union The . pper counties abound iu
seenes, which need only to be known to command the
admiration of ail who love lhe beauties of nature.
.Vlucti of the scenery (if tie norib is inferior lo our
own, but is yet vtslied by thousands simply because it
has been written, sung and “ lionized ” by autuo.s and
travellers, until its beauty has become umveisa.lv
known anil appreciated, it is desirable that attcn'ion
should he directed to out own resources of lhe pic
turesque m natural scenery,and w hen this is done, our
own and northern tourists wiil speedily render our
beautiful views as immortal as our language.
The south is charged with general mdill rcnce to
die progress of Literature arid tile Fine Arts; ad
pr ibably the s'rongest foundation tor the charge is
ibund in her inaction in etiterpiises calculated to Ester
•heso objects. The publication of the proposed work
will, it is believed, be an effective blow at ihts inunda
tion, and a step towards lhe establishment of our lit
erary reputation, to which end much honorable effort
is now directed.
/V third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, t* the intrinsic value of such a publication es
••GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody
the representations of ihe beautiful and sublime in
our S'.ite .'tenery, and aiiord to all, at a trifling ex
pense, exact pictures ol our mountains, vallies, catar
acts. public buildings, &c., which they may or may
not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will be executed in a style su
perior lo any similar pictnrul work in the country.
The plates will be executed on steel by eminent en
gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for
the purpose, by ,\lr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus
ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter
nress descriptions, prepared for the work, and in this
departmnnt the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In
short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per
fect gem of its kind, to the end that it may meet a
welcome reception not only at home but nl-o abroad.
Conditions —“GEORGIA ILLUS3KA I ED”
will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto firm, a’
So per annum in advance, or at 50 Cents tor each
part, payable on delivery.
Each part will contain two highly finished engravings
of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press
descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and
beautiful type on the f.t.est paper,the whole enveloped
in a neatly printed cover.
Anv individual who will obtain and forward six ad
vanced subset iptions shall beemilied to a copy of the
work. Chibs may receive twelve copies to one ad
dress for Soft, or twenty-five copies for $ 100. in either
case fret of postage.
