THE LEXINGTON PLANTATION.

THE LEXINGTON PLANTATION.
OF the principal plantations on this
ISLAND. the most notable, and perhaps the
,nost noteworthy, is that known as
"The Lexington Plantation" The last
possessor of this noble estate, prior to
the rebellion and the capture of Hilton
Head by Admiral Dupontis armada, was
Il wealthy and skillful planter, familiarly
called Joe Pope" The said Joseph
was wise, for his generation, in the cul-
,ure OF the princeiy plant. and in the
selection OF the seed would himself pass
through his ripened fields and pluck for
the purpose the choicest pods. He was
the most successful grower of Sea-Island
cotton in this region of the country, and
by his good management added mate
rally to the already high reputation of
1.-THE Lexington Plantation" Mr.. Pope
was advanced into old age. and had four
adult daughters and two sons. One of
the latter, young Joe, was corporation
LAWYER at Beaufort the other, John,
was commander of horse company at
BlutTton, in the rebel service.
4 young lady spy in Washington had
conveyed to Pope, Sen, information of
Dupont's intended attack upon Hilton
Head, and two weeks prior to the vet
ersn commodore's capture of this I'M
portant part of South Carolina, the we'll
informed and wary planter removed,
with his family and negroes, to the main
land, where, We are informed, he has
another plantation in successful opera
1ion, though with a much diminished
force, for Is out Of his l20 slaves desert
ed him and returned to the Head soon
after their masters exodus. Nearly all
the men among them are now bearing
arms sgsinst the Slaveocracy, and some
ls or 20 females are now enjoying the
blessings of free labor and education
under the bene6cent direction Of the 10y
81 gentleman who now owns the planta-
lion Of their fugitive master.
Pope is we'll spoken of by his late
slaves. That is, they do not accuse him
of cruelty or wilful unkindness. But he
did nothing to improve their condition,
and, when not absorbed in politics, bent
all his energies to getting as much work
out of them as he could without harsh
ness. He was equally kind 10 his horses,
and his carnage to his mules was most
exemplary.
"The Lexington Plantation" after
passing through several ownerships, has
at length become the property Of judi
cious agriculturist from the neighbor-
hood of Syracuse, \. u. DR.. +. T..
Wright, gentleman we'll known for his
wealth, intelligence, ami enterprise
Upon purchasing the place (for Il larger
sum than has yet been paid for any con-
tscated estate in this Department, Dr.
The palmetto herald. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1864-1864, 1864-04-21

Wright found two ladies from Massachu-
sets, Misses Buss and Hill, already ear
nestly engaged in teaching both the
adults and the children to spell and read,
good work which he so warmly ap-
proved that he invited the ladies to con-
tinue their residence under the roof
which had now become his own. And
they have done so, to the manifest ad-
vantage of their class, which numbers
about 80 pupils. Two Sabbaths since
the writer of this attended religious
meeting in one of the apartments in the
mansion, in which both white and col
ored people participated. 1t afforded a
GOOD view of quite number of DR..
Wright's hands, male and female, and
satisfied us of their capacity for improve
ment.
DR.. Wright has two experienced farm
ers from the North to assist him. Both
of these gentlemen are from New Jersey.
and we'll skilled in raising "truck for
market. One of them will give his at
tention to the cultivation of 80 acres, de-
voted to peas, beans, potatoes, cabbages,
tomatoes. onions. and other esculents.
1t is his intention to raise 500, 900 cab
bages. The vegetables will yield a hand
some return at the usual market prices,
and be god-send to this community.
DR.. W. is preparing and seeding 100
acres for cotton. The easily worked
ground lies very level, and has soil and
locality well adapted to produce, with
proper care, large crop of the long,
silken-fbred Sea Island cotton. With
good luck the crop will not be worth
less than $4,000 at the close of the pres
ent year.
There are twenty-three or four work
ing hands, and they labor only four or
five hours per day at their "tasks, and
this only five days in the week. An
hour or two each afternoon. and more or
less on Saturday. they till lots of ground
staked off for their own Use by their en-
ployer, or cultivate for their own benefit,
