PROSPECTUS!
OR THE
COTTON GIN-MAKER AND GIN
NER’S GUIDE.
BY ‘1 EM PL ETON REID.
THE importance of properly preparing he Staple
of any country or section is well known,but to
no country or section is it of such importance as those
that grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple.
Therefore, under this and other considerations, 1 pro
pose to publish by subscription my system and practice
in Colton Gin making and Ginning.
With the advattlage of many years, expericrce—
the sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing
that 1 have brought it nearer to perfection than any
other person, 1 submit it to the pnblic in o concise
and correct in inner—with my laiu practice and with
many improvements besides the valuable one of the
application of ihe Friction IVhtcls, and nrw inode of
making the brush, (which 1 have patented in the Re
public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last
improvement, which much increases the speed n gin
ning, and improves the Coth ti. (It is well represented
in tne plates and explained in the work.) The work
to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good
binding, with ten well engraved plates, illustrative es
the system; of the Gin complete, plans, elevations,
sections, and figures in detail, with references aid de
scription ol every part. Also plates of plan and elev; -
tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, & . < al
culatious of gear ill speeding the gin, with particular
description, explanation and directions to the Cotton
Planters in constructing the gin-house and gear, and
general management ol the gill, cotton, &c.
With the rules and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any good workman may execute the
• whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge
for himself in constructing his House, Gear. &c., md
in selecting aGin that is rightly made ill every respect,
and of good materials; therefore being a great sav i>g
: or gain to him, first, in cleaning his crop in half the
, time usually required; and in pn lung and motung hut
cotton well, so as to command the hsghes price in
market; in the durability of his Gin, which, ifmrc'c
by the directions given, will last to pck a thousand
hags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins lo do the >ame.) And further, thei e
is no risk or danger of burning tne House, (lotion
by taking fire from the Gin on the new friction whe 1
plan, though you were to give it double tin rnoti<ii
Gins running oil boxing would hear. Nothing will he
set down in the proposed Woik but positive facts, be
ing the result (all prejudices aside) ol fair and repeat
eu experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know
ledge aud skill.)
If l were going to continue the Cotton Gin making
business in this country, I should not trouble the pub
lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much rather
work for money than write for it as in the first case,
I would do it strict justice,—in the latter, I must ask
allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its
support.

RANAWAY from the subscriber, last night, a
likely Negro boy named SCO I TANARUS, about 17 or
IS years ofage,6feet 10 inches high, light colored,
looks very pleasing when spoken to; very intelligent
and reniaikably polite in his deportment He look
with him from me about §IOO in m*ney, 25 of which
was American Gold, the balance on the PI inters’ and
] Mechanics’ Bank of Columbus. lam inclined to be
lieve that he lias been seduced away by some white
man, as he has hitherto been been very trustworthy,
and generally bore the chatacter of an honest arid
faithful servant.
J am induced to believe that he is making way to
North Carolina, where he was raised, or to Ohio, as I
have been informed, since he left, that he expressed a
desire to go with some free negroes who lately ltft
Columbus. Ga., for that Stats.
I will give SSO reward for the Negro, if delivered to
rue, or lodged in any safe jail; and if inveigled away
by a white man, I will give §2CO reward for the scoun
drel, with evidence sufficient to convict him, or §250
for both. WM. D. LUCAS.

JOHN BASCUMBE.
THIS distinguish* and hotse, at the urgent solicita
tion of many breeders in Georgia and Alabama,
has been brought back from Kentucky, where he stood
with great success last season, and will stand the en
suing season at his owner’s stable, at Fort Mitchell,
ten miles below Columbus. Lots end stabus are
provided for rnares. and every attention wi 1 be paid to
them, and rare used to prevent accidents and escapes,
but no liability will be incurred for cither.
The pedigree and performances of Bascombc are
too well known to the public to need repetition here.
His stock, in Georgia and South Carolina, where ho
made ltis two first seaso. s. are of the highest premise,
and he has proved a sure foal-gettcr.
His owner would feel authorised to demand, and
might expect to receive, the highest price for his ser
vices: but believing that the state ofthe times and the
(trice of stock, as well as the reduced prices of agri
cultural products, do not warrant the exhotbitant char
ges heretofore made for the services cf stallions, and
with a view to serve the best interests of the turf and
breeders, he has dete.mined to fix on the following
reduced rates, viz: Seventy five dollars the season,
with one dollar to the g>-ooni: three dollars pet week
for keeping the mares. Black servants sent with,
mares boarded gratis.
Persons sending mares from a distance, will please
send with them a note for the season.
