rI1HE above invention has been put into conplete
and successful operation on the plantation of
one of the most distinguished gentlemen Of Mis-
sisspp and he invites Planters and all interested
to go and see it. The machinery wsrks beauti-
fully Little negroes learned to attend it in fow
days, and the yarns have not only commanded the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair, but one
of the judges states (who is spinner of twenty
years experience) that they are about double as
strong as any that were in competition with them ;
and now all question, doubt or conjecture as to
its practicabity is satisfactorily and positively
answered, by its actual and daily working damon
stration. Working on one plantation proves that
it will work on oil
The machinery was exhibited at the Crystal
Palace in New York, and the Judges of the Amer
ican Institute awarded it full and well deserved
report. in which they stated that, as the cutton
passed directly on from the seed continuously from
my HermaphrOdtc to the other machines, BY
which excluded from use tho ginning and baling
machinery Of the plantation, and several machines
in the factories to open and disentangle it, and
which are very violent in their operations; must
make my yarn Of longer and less broken staple
and therefore it must be stronger and better
yarn
But THE UNPARALLELED FEATURE OF
THE INVENTION IS-that it DOUBLES THE
NET INCOME of the Planter adopting it, and l,
in effect, sell him plantation, negroes stock,
etc, fully as valuable to him in its production as
that on which he makes his cotton and other at
iendant crors; and this prodigious result is
achieved by him without strain or difficulty
My invention consists in the discovery thay the
same capital that now produces crop of eaton.
the same steam OF water power that now gins and
bales it, the same expenses very nearly that nc
crue to raise the crop. and the labor of se few
little negroes and women, ineffective. as field
hands, could attend the machinery. which would
put the crop into yarns. instead of ginning and
baling it as cotton, whereby the planters income
would be doubled, better yarn be spun, at least
nine tenths of the risk of fire on the plantation
removed, with half the baggiug and rope and
lessened charges, (save those of commissions.
which will be doubled to the commission merchant
as they will be on double amount. and which
is made practically effective bv machinery which
unltes the separate processes of the gin and pack
ing house of the plantation and that of the spin
ming factory into one, with a great saving in ma
chinery motive power. labor and capital.
We can MAKE any number or size of warn
desired, and this invention. from its nature, is
complete and cannot be improved upon.
The cost OF the machinery to the planser'wil
not be MS much rs half the enhanced value of the
second crop woull more than buy the necessary
optrnives out and out, if the planter chooses
The accumulation Of money by this will very soon
pay planters ont Of debt who are now involved,
and rapidly afford them means, and those not in
debt to carry out their most sanguine wishess
The yarns are selling here at l01 to 221c, and
there is not only demand here for many more
Than we now make, but we are now fully informed
that there is a market for them in Great Britain
and in Europe far beyond our capacity tn spin
them, and at prices fully and over netting what
we are getting here. The quotation for such yarns

net here 20 to 2lc., and the accounts are that

thousand customers for them to one for, cotton.
and hence our ability to get fairer range of
prices than we now do for cotton The people.

bought for only few thousand spinners
To make the powerful nducement to the planter
to spin his crop mp more clear and striking,
would distinctly call his attention to tie number
and great value Of the hands that in all the year
nre employed in raising the crop to the valne of
the lands upon which it and the attendant crops
are made the value Of the mules stock; imple-
ments, machinery, ETC., necessary to help raise it
the heavy annual expenses paid out 30 rase,
gin and pack the CROP let me contrast all this
value and expenses and its net yield with the
more than doubled net yield by my invention, ef-
fected by few half hands and machinery that
cosis nothing compared to the value of the anis
and the investment which raises the cotton, and
spun which the outlay, in addition to his present
expenses, is for machinery which will last thirty
years, and the wages Of a spinner and oils
The moment this is seen and understood by the
planters, that these few half hands and this ana.
chinery and trifing outlay will net them as much
or more than their large investment, with the
heavy expenses on it to raise the crop does, they
will not pause in their decision to avail themselves
of my invention as soon as possible
That,this immensely increased income is not to
be transient and that the price will not decline
by our spinning the entire crop Of the country
INTO yarns, let me impress these facts on your
minds. The cotton spinner is at heavy outlay
to buy his location and to pay for his factory
buildings and those of the operatives, to arrange
and buy his motive power and his fuel for it to
buy bis machises, to pay his daily expenses for
The hire Of his clerks, managers, overseers and
operatives to buy his daily supply of cotton
pay his insurance, freight and other expenses
and which, altogether, demands large share of
capital. The actual cost to the spinner, besides
tie cost of cotton to spin, is from 8 to l0c a
pound; then, besides, the cost Of cotton and the
cost to spin, he must get several cents more for
each pound to pay him his profit on his capital
and for the trouble he is at. Now as the planter
has within himself all these items very nearly.
and must have them he evidently is not at this
outlay and expense, and so what it costs the
spinner for pound Of cotton and to spin pound
of yarn, and some. if not all of his proft the
planter may be positive he will get for his yarns.
The spinner cannot sell below his cost and as the
planter must make a better yarn, as his yarns
appear in market, the present spinners will with.
draw from so unequal contest. This must be
apparent to all.
