I. This undertaking, which has the
sanction and support OF the Governor Of
the State of South Carolina and many
of its chief citizens, is for the purpose OF
rehabilitating aud bcnefcially develop.
ing large freehold rice plantations aud
naval atore timber tracts of extraordin-
airy richness and fertility thrown out Of
cultivation by the late war.
2. These land, are composed Of rich
alluvial soil of great depth, yearly
removed by the deposits brought down
by the rivers, and thus m,ds practically
inexhnustible and independent of artiti
cial mauurcs; they arc wei! known to
be among tho best rice plantations in
the State, nearly all being per rectly safe
from froshets and salts. their value
before the war, with clean rice at on
half its present price, was from $50
dollars to 300 dollars ESQ to 9G0) per
mere, and their average production from
80 to 20 bushels per acre-a yield
which created nd yearly added to tho
great wealth Of their proprictors, and
which must be again equalled under
renewed cultivation with fresh capital.
3. Twenty 1.-TWO Of the estates are on
the North Santse Rivers aud three on
the Ashepao; they comprise an area of
36,GG6 acres Of freehold land, Of which
lO,1l3 acres are rico lands under bank,
with about 2,O0O'acres now in cultiva.

bushel in tho (rough) equal to 4s cents
per ID. Of clean, and, at the same time,
no notice is taken of the value Of the
pine and other timber lands, which can
be worked to great advantage. #
6. Including what is now in cultiva
tion, it is contemplated to have in seed
by the Spring of 1875 about 10000
acres of rice land; and during that time
to put under baLk some thousands of
additional acres; to repair and oounect
two canals gviug through tho estates,
and otherwise vigorously bring the pro :
perty into profitable operation. The
result Of working the said 10000 acros
will be as follows, and will thus pro-
vide the cash required for dividends,
drawings, &c.
z. A large portion of these lands
have produced, year after year, so to 20
bushels Of rice per acre. Estimating
however, only 10 bushels per acre, there
would be-

The above calculations arc based up.
on the experience of old rice planters
whose statements are duly sworn to
and certified by the British Consul at
Charleston, who also gives his voluntary
certificates ..and opinion of the great
value Of these lands and their profit by
culture.
g. The reports of Mcssrs, Arthur
Middleton, Rawlins, II. Lomnd,s, John
A. Hume, all old-expcrienceI rice plan
tcrs, and Of Ii. Pinckncy Walker, Esq
Her Britannia Majesty's Consul at
Charleston, fully corroborate, by their
ewn personal knowledge, the Foregoing
s!uTeinenC. -"--
g. The grea wnat of the South, in
cndeavourtng to rcvivc and develop her
enormous resources of agricultural
wealth, particularly the rice iolls Of
South Carolina, ii capital. BY furnish
ing the capital the labor is procured,
and these rich rice lands are again
made to fproduce their valuable crops,
thus rendering the State an osscntia
service, which will be hailed as great
boon by the entire people.
If. No difficulty i, anticip,t, in
procuring an ample supply of efficient
Id instructed labour from the negroes
upon the spot. These people, warmly
attached to the localities where they
were born, arc peaceful, orderly, and
willing to work when honestly and fair
ly treated. They have invariably pre-
ferrcd the rice plantation on account OF
the abundance Of game, wild fowl, fish,
oysters, &C., to be f,uad there (Which
they have always been permitted to
enjoy without restriction.) Many
of thom are mechanics, c,rp,u.
tcrs, blacksmiths. &c, of remarkable
intelligence and usefulness. Since tho
emancipation different sy stems have been
tried In the employ yment of tho freed
men, but it is now generally admitted
that tho most successful in attracting
aud retaining labour is that OF eekly
payment Of wages in cash. 1t is this
plan which will be adopted, aud by pay
ing with sctupulous punctuality, tho
directors are assured and bolieve tina t
thair supply Of labour will be ample,
regular, and reliable. They propose
however, to introduce all lnbour saving
machines which can be usefully and
proftab)y employed.
IL. There is contract entered into
/ between John Chadwick, the owner of
the property, on the one part, and j.
w. Sherman, on behalf Of the company
on the other part, dated 1st October
1873, for the conveyance to tho compa.
