MECKLENBURG, Apri! 14, 1770.
S I am informed lt was some time
ago reported by one Neal, an overseer os Col.
William Har-wsod's, and the report since industrioufiy
Ptopagated by Col. La-uzi: Bur-well, that, under the
cloak os friendship, ] intended by some untsiair means to
cheat the said Her-wood out of a tract os land on Roa
mmle river, I think it necessary to assure the public that
the said report it a most groundless calumny, as ] never
did, nor ever intended to do, that Gentleman the small
est injnstice. ] am much surprised that Col. liar-well
should endeavour to asperse my character, from the in
formation of an ineensed overseer, who, it is well known,
declared, on my threatening to turn him off of a plan
tation of the said Har-wood's, which ! last year had the
direction of, for his insolence and neglect of duty, that
he would endeavour by some means or other to avoid
being under my direction, for that he was well assured
no overseer could please me; and for that purpose did
he invent the abovementioned salsities. in which he has
succeeded yery well. 1 confess that a few years ago !
had some thoughts of purehasing Col. Her-wool: land,
on being told by Col. Robert Mausord, of this county.
that Her-med 'had'made him an offer of it; _but aa !
sound, on nu application to Her-wood, he had declined
selling, [, from that moment, have never entertained
the most dilhnt thought of owning one foot of bil land.
I have directed a suit in the General Court against Neal,
where I make not the leafl doubt but Ict (hall make him
severe pay for his malice. falfity, and villainy. As to
00]; cup-elf, ho'wever ready he has lien to credit and
ropagaae msantona a report, not on y in 'vate com
lp'ani'ea, but, as I am informed by a Gentlempasd of truth,
in several qnsifee houses, l can assure him that [have the
vanity to think'mysisels, at, aGentleman at least, his'equal.
and can all'urehim ! ani sin much above an action, bor
dering on mea-nest or dishonesly, as he or an other
person in the" government. PEYTON SKIP . TH.

HEREAS, after many mals, I have
finished a model of a threshing mill, so: cleaning
vheat, barley, out and rye. more expeditioufly and
eheaper than any thing of the kind ever seen in this coun

minute. andLoonoeive will threlh out [00 bushel: a day
(but will fit engage more than' ye bushel-) with the at
tendanoe of a maland aboy. The whole expence, ex
dusive of timber. plank, nails and provisions, will not
amottnt to pss for which sum ! will build twelve, for
the. first twelve Gentlemen who will lhbscribe. Any
person hehaable to encourage this usesul machine, may
lot-laide men he anon proper, -ana ]! : mm- py me
not]: osnext Octoin, that the subscription: are sufficient
for the trouble! have been at, and the expence that will
attend buildng one in it: full proportion, to go by water,
and mother by wind (: small stream of water or mode
rate breeze of wind will be sufficient) I pmpose to exhibit
two nodeh at Willievhrg, on the 25th of next Odo

notice, thot if neitheros the. mill: answer the above de
scription, their subscriptions'are void. -Any person in

HAVING been obli ed for many rea
sons, too immaterial per up: to a puhlrc reader,
however severely they have been felt by myself, to
remove Tbomru La-wson from all manner of concern relativc
_to my Rippm Hall estate ; lnov/ beg leave to apply to the
Jushce of those who may have dealt with him for my pro
perty, that they will be kind enough not to pay to the said
Tboma: be'n;/on any balance! that they may owe for such
dCJllngl; but that they will pay the same to Mr. William
Boil, whom ! have deputed to conduct my affain there.
And in this request l can only rely an yet upon their 0Wn in
t g ity; becaule, in defiance of a penalty ot 5ool. for the least
breach of his duty. the said Law/ba, though osten called
upon by me, has not thought proper to comply with that
principal part of ill! stewardshtp, the g'ving a just account
of his conduct. That ! mlfiht not be compelled to do any
thing socontra to my kin drspositions towards him, on
account of hiao worthy, honest, and diligent father, in
my neighbourhood. as the exposing of his c aracter out of
any future eonfidence from others, [had ordered the keep
ing back this advertrseme'nt, ta hopes that an earnest ex
postulation with him would have inclined him rather to the
option of a joli account of all things, even at the last, than
to have obliged me to lay his behaviour open by any public
accusationr But it seems the samesstendenc that ed him
so greatly to injure me, has made him per in forcing me
to do myselsjulhce in the seven] lavrlul modes that lean.

FAR'LEN BALL, of the county of
' London, in the eolony of Virgin!-, being in
debted to Them: Mifflin and ]ofi-pb Dun, merchants
of the city of Pbiladelpbia, in six hundred and eighty
two pound: two (hillingt, for securing the payment
thereof, he, on the first day of jane lafl pali, mortgaged
to them a tract of land, containing three hundred and
three acres, Some in the laid connty of London, upon
which he now resides. Though this deht had been then
due a considerahle time, yetthe subscrihen agreed not to
have the mongagc recorded for six month-; at the ex
'ration of which time, if Ball paid one half the above
Ftitn, it was to be given up, and his own private bond
taken for the residne. At the end of fix mouths the
subscribers sent a messenger to receive the half of their
debt, by Whom _ sent the mortgage, to be delivered
up; but as no ' y wan paid. the mortgage was left,
in order to be recorded; and Ball was, by promise, to
attend court to acknowledge it. This he actsnlly and
disingenuoufly evaded, upon which the subscribing evi
dences were summoned, to prove it, with whom Ball
had influence enough to prevent theirattendanoe; so that
the suhscribers are now driven to the neceliit) of taking
this methodof uhlilhing their claim tothe said land, lest
Balllhould ' act in charadcr, and offer it for sale.
