Cotton Press,


We offer to the citizens Of Abbevllc and the
adjoining Districts, our improved SWING.
ING FULCRE PRESS. The invention
was not the result of mere chance, but of long
experience and mathematical calculation.
AS to power, it is equal, if not SUPERIOR to
any thing now in use. 1t requires less tim
bcr, easier framed, and put up in less time,
and with less danger than screw; and the
Press will last as long as any timber protect
cd from the weather or above ground From
the number Of these Presses which are now in
use from North Carolina 10 Mexico, we feel
no hesitancy in saying that they will super
ccdc the Screw; and there are ten Of our
Presses up to one Of any other, and we feel
justified in saying fifty to one. The average
duration Of Screws in this District is not
more than four and half OF five years. and
as there is not less than five hundred Screws,
sec what is paid out in one year.
For single or individual rights, $500.
We offer the District rights for sale on very
low terms, which we consider a greater spec
ulaton than there is in the country.
Persons wishing information respecting
the Press, will find me for two weeks to come
at the residence OF MIR. James Cobb. will
build one more Press in this District for T50,
every thing found to hand.

AS proof the efficacy Of these Medicines,
