RANDALL .V MERCER’S
COTTON-SEED DRILL.
\LL Planters have realized the want of a machine
to drill Cottou Seed with regulauty and certainty;
one that would operate equally well on every kind >t
lan i, and at the same time be so simple in construe
tion and operation that it conld be used by negroes
without liability of getting out of order. A Drill
which tee think possesses all these qualities, we now
offer to the planting community. Alter a thorough
trial for the last two years in diferent hands on all
kinds of land, we would state some of the advantages
to be derived from their use.
Ist. Tbe saving of seed, which will amount to enough
in planting oue buudred acres, to pay loi the machine.
2d. The saving of labor iu planting, one horse and
hand only being required to open ihe farrow, drop
tbe seed and cover from seven to nine acres per day.
3d. Tbe great saving of labor in chopping out, the
seed being deposited in a line one after another.
4th. The great saving in subsequent hoe work, owing
to the fact that any plow hand cau, in siding, cover all
the (irst crop of grass in the drill, however small the
cottou may be, without injuring the stand.
These advantages all farmers will appreciate ; and
below we give some certificates, from which the public
can learn how these Drills are appreciated by gentle
men of the fit st standing in out section of the State—
all practical farmers, who nare thoroughly tested them,
and are consequently fully competent to decide on
their merits.
CERTIFICATES.
This is to certify that I planted one hundred and
sixty acres of cotton with RaDdulland Mercer’s Planters,
and I consider them superior to any thing of the kind
I have ever seen or tried. The saving of seed alone
would pay tor the machines in a season or two, and I
think a band cau do one-third more hoeing than he
could in cotton planted the common way.
Lee county, Geo, July 13th, 1855, S. L. BARBER.
Alegars. Randall & Mercer. —Gentlemen; In reply to
yours of this date, I can say with satisfaction, that I
have used your Cotton Seed Drills on the farm of D.
A. Vason, Esq., with great success. I consider them
to be of great value. They are a saving of about one
third of the labor of cultivation, about two or three
bushels of seed to the acre in planting, and a great
saving of labor in planting, as they open the furrow,
drop and cover the seed with one norsc and hand. 1
think them worth one hundred dollars a piece to ant
planter that plants full crops of cotton. As for myself
would not plant a crop of cotton without them for no
consideration in the bounds of reason.
Yours, very respect full v.
A. J. BARKSDALE.
Lee county, July 12th, 1855.
I have used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton Planters two
seasons, and consider them of great value to the far
mer. I save seed enough each year to pay for the
Planters, then I save at least one-third the labor of
cultivation, as the cottou is sowed in so narrow a line
that with plowing there is but little boe work
needed. There is also a saving of bands and horses in
planting. I should say they were worth one hundred
dollars each, and recommend every farmer to use them.

Col J.H. Watson —Sir: This is to certify that I have
used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton-seed Drill of your manu
factnre, and am so well pleased with them that 1 would
recommend all planters who have uot tried them, to
give them a fair trial. Whera the Drills are used
there is a great deal of labor saved in cultivating a crop,
owing to its being so uniform in the drill, the plowing
can tie done much better, and with greater despatch,
consequently the hoe work is lighter, as good plowing
supercedes the necessity of a great deal of hard hoe
work. K. BRASWELL.
This is to certify that I used one of Randall A Mer
cer’s Cotton-seed Drills last year in planting my crop,
and was well pleased. I have used five ot them the
present year, planting my entire crop, and am still bet
ter pleased. There is a saving of between two and
three bushels es seed to the acre in planting, besides
one horse and one hand with these Dulls does the work {
ot three hands and two horses. Then there is a saving of
one-third of the hoe work, the cotton being in so
straight and narrow a row-. I consider them worth
one hundred dollars each to any planter, aud recom
mend all to purchase and use them
WM. U. OWENS.
Dougherty Cos., Geo., July IC. 1855. |
Messrs. Randall & Mercer. —Gentlemen: In reply to
yours I will say I have used three of your Cottou seed *
Drills, and consider them of great value, from the fact
that in the use of them I saved from two to three ,
bushels of seed to each acre planted, and at least one
third of the labor of cultivation, not requiring one half
as much hoe work as the old way of planting—also, a i
considerable saving in the labor of planting. I never
expect to plant cotton without them, it I can get them
at any price. I have planted eight acres per day to
each Drill. They are simple, easily managed, and
there is no difficulty abaut getting a good staud.
Very respectfully yours, W. F. HAMRICK.
Lee county, Geo., July 12th 1855.
Thomasville, Thomas county, Ga.
Col. J. H. Watson: Dear Sir: I can recommend
your Cotton Planters (Drill) in the highest terms. I
have tried them on all my land except new ground,
and I think they wil do in that. They will do in a
mountainous country as well as in a level. If I had
not bought I would* travel to your shop, which is 75
miles, and pay fifty dollars a piece for them. It saves
one-third of the work, one hand can plant as much as
two, and one hand can chop out three acres while one
can chop out one acre after a common plow.
Y'ours recpectfully. K. BRASWELL.
Messrs. Randall dk Mercer —ln reply, to yours of the
sth instant, in reference to your Cotton seed Drill, I
am happy to say that after planting a portion of mv
present crop in the old way, I was enabled to obtain
one of your Drills, with which I finished.
It is the desideratum and loDg sought after.
Many aud varied have been the attempts of intelli
gent minds to attain what you have accomplished, but
with only partial success. This leaves nothing to be
desired in a Cotton Drill. It deposits the seet uniform
ly and continuously in a straight and narrow line as
you wish, saves about one half the labor in planting
and about one-third of the hoe work in cultivation, j
It is almost needless to add that I am delighted with !
your Drill.
Yours respectfully, J. E. MERCER.
Lee county. Geo., August 10th, 1855.
Messes. Randall ik Mercer —Gentlemen: I used one
of your Cotton seed Drills the past spring, and I feel
four fold paid for what it cost me. To give your Drills
a fair trial, I planted every other row with the Drill
and the intervening rows 1 planted as well as ever Cot
ton was planted before your Drill came into use. The
result was, that in the row planted with your Drill I
got a more perfect stand, ana 1 think it grew off’ much
better, besides 1 realized a great saving in the labor ol
working over mv cotton the two first times. I shall
continue to use them as long as I plant Cotton.
I remain yours, Ac.. JESSE COCK.
Lee county, Geo.
r ’ Messrs. Randall dk Mercer —Gentlemen: I have used
eight of your Cotton-seed Drills, manufactured by J. H.
Waston, on Col. Joseph Bond’s Fowl Town plantation.
I am much pleased with them, having realized great
saving of seed, of labor in planting anil chopping out,
and the hands at the first stdmg could go over at least
one third more in a day, and do better work than in
cotton planted in the best way 1 could plant with col
ter and block. I have no hesitation in giving it as my
opinion that in the use of your Drills there is a saving
of one-third of the labor of cultivating a cotton crop.
Col. Bond is pleased with them aud will continue their
use.
Yours, respectfully, JAMES CHEEK.
Fowltown, Geo., July 9th, 1855.
This is to ceitify that I have used two of Randall
A Mercer’s Cotton Planters, and have no hesitation in
saying that they will do. The saving of labor in plant
ing is an object, the saving of seed is an object, aud the
cotton stands in such a narrow drill that it may almost
be kept clean writhout the hoes. There is nothing to
equal them iu planting cotton.

The attention of the public is respectfully solicited
to tbe foregoing announcement of the organization of
the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Fire, Maiine and Life In

the most flattering evidences of public confidence and
marked prospects of success. The resources of the
Company are ample to indemnify those who may take
advantage through its agency of the means afforded
them to oe protected against Loss by Fire, Disaster by
Sea or Inland Navigation, or in securing a sum of mo
ney to the heirs or family of one who may die. There
is an actual subscription to the Capital Stock of more
than $200,000, which is paid up and invested in stocks
of the first class, and kindred safe securities, upon
which, in case of any necessity to do so, the amount
may be realized within forty-eight hours’notice. The
Board of Directors, as may be seen, are practical busi
ness men, well aud favorably known, and enjoying the
enlire confidence and respect of the community in w hich
they live. These facts give to the Company I repre
•sent, desirable and valuable facilities for indemnity to
all who may transact business with it, and I invite at
tention thereto, having determined to insure on quite
as accommodating terms, and at as low rates as anv
responsible Company, taking into consideration tl.e
risk incurred. ISAAC SCOTT, Agent,
