PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Camden Commercial Courier.
THE Establishment of the COMMERCIAL
COURIER was rendered necessary by the inconvenience
to which our citizens have been subjected
for the want of a public channel of communication
which in a commercial community like Camden, is
essentially necessary, and consequently the COURIER
S claim on the public is such as should ensure
a liberal patronage.
The undersigned have spared no trouble or expense
in obtaining the best workmen in order to
render the Paper all the advantages that it will
admit of, and affording satisfaction to its patrons.
in political matters the Courier will take no
part; the design being to publish a Paper adapted
to the interest of ai.l, which could not be effected
by its entering into the arena of Politics?it will
be confined principally to such matter ns appertains

it originated in an obscure p rt. of the country
but a few years since, it is now found in all the
principal towns and villages in the Union, and its
virtues as a cure for Ague and Fever, and as a
general Tonic, are appreciated by all who have
used it. Being as it professes a compound of
Southern Vegetables, it is needless to otter the assurance

from the 27th of May to the 23d of September
next.
From the general embarrassment of the times ;
the deranged state of the domestic exchanges, and
the difficulties attending the disposal of Rank Rills
out of their immediate circles of issue, we have
been solicited by agents and Venders to postpone
the drawing of the above scheme, for a short time, j
until the present crisis in the affairs of the coun- j
try shall have passed a ay.
We have therefore yielded to these solicitations,'
and postpone the drawing of the Alexandria Lottery,
ci.ass E, from the 27th of May, to the 23d day '
of September next, when the drawing will posi* i
lively take place.
Adventurers having purchased tickets in said i
class, and who do not wish to hold tto-m until the
drawing, can have their money returned by the
agent oi broker from whom they purchased?or can
exchange them for tickets in classes to be drawn
at an earlier day, as it may suit their pleasure.
The Managers have consented to this postpone
ment with extreme reluctance, as it has always
been their policy to draw every scheme at the lime
announced. The unparalleled stnte of the country,
is the only cause of this one departure from
the usual custom
All the other schemes now before the public, will

arc lound to improve the quality of the cotton, by
more perfectly cleaning it. They can be made to
contain from 20 to HlOsaws in a stand, and whether
small or large, one iinnd will be sufficient to attend
them. The Gins have mechanical feeders and
hoppers attaehed to them, which free the cotton
Ironi leaves, trash, dirt, <Scc. before it can teach the
saws, and by the thorough hackling operation it
receives from the feeders, which make two revolutions
to one of the saws, it is almost in a half
lined state, before it doseends to the saw By a)
very simple arrangement of a screw to each set of
yraates. ?>n which the hoppers rest. a'?d through
which the teeth of the feeders pass, they can be
made to teed slow or fast to suit the condition of
the cotton at the time. When made double, the
jaws are placed on two sets of c\ tinders and turn
upon each other in opposite directions, and are
cleansed by two sets of brushes that have four revolutions
to one of two saw. The two cylinders can
be detached so as to enable the planter to run one
or both at pleasure, although embraced with feeders,
iV'c. in one stand The whole is put in operation
with a drum and hand, as in the ordinary Gin, and
may he propelled by horse, steam, or water power.

Dr. A. Jones?Sir, In reply to your enquiry, ?'
what I think of your improved Cotton Gin. I have
to say, that I suw it work on Saturday the 2T?th inst. I
and was very inueh pleased with its performance.
The mere fact of its self-feeding, seems to me to
be a very \aluablc improvement; and besides, the ,
quality of the cotton, as it comes out of the pro- i
cees, appeared to me to be better and cleaner than
from the common Gins in use, and that it saves
considerably in labor. Respectfully, Ar. j
E. D. WHITE.
