In this age Of advancement and ntelli-
gencc, why practice Inconsistency
II would seem from facts, yearly evi.
dencng themselves, that the chivnlric
| State OF South Carolina and more espc-
cally, the chivalrous population of Old
Sumter, nre fast verging towards The tastes
and opinions Of our Northern ncighbors
and aristocratic Southerners.
We would not venture upon this asscr-
sion but for the facts, "and facts arc stub
born things" Now for The inconsistency
The planters Of our District have allowed
themselves to be prevailed on in many in
STAGES, to purchase articles Of foreign man
ufacturc and mechanism, which on ac-
count Of their seeml. exterior and that
| alone, recommend them 10 noticc,-whist
in their own midst an article Of the same
kind which we think vastly superior, in its
operation and arrangement, is passed
over, and effected, and The manuIactur
crs themselves, scarcely enabled through
this neg lcct to maintain the position (in a
pccunary view) amongst their fellow cit.
izons which they deserve.
For one or two years past, companies Of
men emigrating from the land Of "hams
and Rutmegs have in tier pcrcgrinatiuns
found suitable place for location in the
genial atmosphere Of our Sister state Geor.
gia, from whence the whole South;(on ac-
c ,unt Of their facilities for manufacturer
and the disposal of large funds at their
conmand) is inundated with an article Of
Gins, for which agents are 10 be found IN
every town, city. or village, who imposed
ON, by the travelling agents Of those con
Germs, are in turn, unwlttingly placing in
the possession Of their supporters, the
Farmer an article VIII ch does not answer
the purpose. In using this strong language
VIC do not speak unadvIsedly, but can re-
fer to some of our best citizens, who have
been dmpcd. These Gins are calculated
10 strike the fancy, on ~ count OF the fine
glossy appearance and coloring to rescm.
bic some wood grown perhaps nor;n of
Mason aud DXon's line and unknown to us.
Our farmers themselves have contri
bu,rd To their increase, by giving certii-
Gates, that the Gins work well, which we
allow they may do when first put up; bu,
1t is no uncnunon thing 10 hear them en-
press great dissatisfaction, III n very short
time after the Georgia Gins are put IN
operation, great portion Of the iron W. rli
about them being cast, when once it be-
comes broken or out Of repair, can never
he mcndcd; requiring new work or leaving
the Gin useless, thereby making up in
"EicnSO" The loss entire, OF the price o! a
Gin.
Now, in your midst, are to he found
mechanics, who can, and do put up Gin,
III every respect we think superior to The
Georgia, for :, smaller price.
The Gins built by them. have been
proven, both n Sumter and the ncighhor
ing Districts, to have pcrins!ned greater
amount oi work in gwen Time, To produce
Il better lint aud To pick cleaner than the
Georgia Gin. Another advantage is, most
nI the 'ron work ahnuI llUDsnN Il Bgoru.

cannot be the case were it cast, there not
being foundry III many, many Ililcs, and
still another advantage is, the last named
Gins are more colnpactly built aud occupy
much less space than The other Gin with
The same number OF saws. TO the Citizens
OF the District and nI the State, we would
say, we thank yon Tor I C patronage hrrc-
tO.Ore extended to us and earnestly solicit

We can be found at all times AT our shop
IN Sunterville, where we will be pleased
In receive orders Tor Gins of any size now
in use, at So 90 per saw which we will
warrant 10 give satisfaction.
