To the Merchant*, Farmer*, and l'enauts of t!>e Cotton Belt: The South U now ou the eve of planting another crop, aud af ter arTeguertcuce of aevvtitoen year* It aeemn ml viable thataoine change should >>c made in the manner of tarniing, and we call your ' careful attention to tho following fact*, which are offered with the tdncere hope that the people will give them proper consideration. Your section ikjsrcsws the finest farm ing la(id? and the most salubrious climate in the world, umd should be today finan cially independent; Instead of having to borrow on a crop before It la made, should have her corn-bins and larders filled before commencing a crop. ( ompare your situation with the far mers of the north and west. They by systematic labor aro growing rich euoh year, while you with patient toll and close cconomy are neither so thriving nor prosperous as you should be. There Is a cause (or these troubles, and we, as cotton men, whose interest is closely identified with yours, believe we are in a position to note many of the evils that exist, and offer, without presuming, the following suggestions : 1. The credit system, as at present In vogue throughout the South, is disastrous to the planters and tenants, forcing them to pay extravagant price* for supplies, and causing their crops to be forced into market with such rapidity and In such quantities as to break prices almost inva riably below cost of production. 3. After noting for years the effect of largo crops of cotton, we find that the over-production of this staple Is the key note to the situation, and we strongly ail vise all parties Interested lu the prosperi ty of the South to discourage the plan ting of a large acreagc this year, ami de vote their labors first to the raising of grain, cattle and hogs, und give the bal ance of their time to the culture of cot ton. This poliov will bring good results lu many ways; for instance, many small farmers, and large ones also, are so heav ily in debt when their cotton Is ready for sale that they are compelled to let it go, even though the price Is below Its Intrin sic worth; while if they had supplies at I home, produced, and not bought on cre dit, they could afford to hold their cot ton until they felt Justified in selling. The price of cotton today is fully 16 per cent, belo# the average of the past five years, while, on the other hand, corn is 3 it per cent, and provisions 60 per cent, above the average. Thus are you loser? both wayc. With the production of enough provis ions on each farm, cotton would become a surplus, and soon the Incubus of debt would be lifted from your people, and each year would record rapid strides in wealth. Decreased production of cotton, and in creased production of bread, meat an. I other necessaries will bring about a more prosperous condition of affairs tor the South, and Instead of sheriff sales to sat isfy the mortgages that the j>oor labor ers must now give, we would see poverty banished forever, nud plenty would pour lu upon you.

(tUpufelUfe** by OLD TUfa m VAMDEl U rata pivtorh o* thi vast.. . Prior to 1760, new eutejrprtse, spirit and lite we r* Iru parted to the Quaker set tlement around Camden, by tiie arrival of the faintly of Kershaw* from England. Cultivated and improved men, with some capital, they brought with them, or soon imported, improved labor. Col. Joseph Keohaw, the head of the family' then, and the fountain from *hlch has flowed to much of excellence, honor and usefulness to this community, waa -very successful and prosperous In business; laid out the town of Camden on bla own iaiula, named it In honor of that noble whig, enlightened statesman, profound jurist and stauncn friend ofthe Colonic*, Charles Pratt, Lord Chancellor of Eng-' land, and Earl of Camdep. Col. Ker shaw introduced liiuS tills Strftethe cul tivation of wheat, and erected on Pine Tree .Creek, lust below th<J present tow:?| riourihg mills, which *6011 notbnly sup plied the vicinage with Hour, but "a* sent to Charleston, and shipped in con siderable quantities to the West Indies. KrOtn this Mule beginning the wheat product and flour manufacture were so advanced by the tdose of the 18th centu ry as high H8 lofty thousand bushels of wheat were annually ground at the mills in Camden, and jthis good example had Its Influence all over the State In causing the erection of Merchant Alllls. We may pause here to note an Interesting fact that w<) have in this community among our people, the descendants of Ludgrave Thomas Smith, who intro duced rice into the State, and of Col. Kershaw who introduced the cultivation and manufacture of wheat. confi dently expect these descendants, in their turn, to achieve success. We cannot ex pect them to "strike oil," for that is out of their latitude aud far from their bear ing*. ' | The Kcrshaws prospered greatly until I the Rovolutlon, when, being among the wealthiest of our people, tkey Buffered terribly from the possession of this town Httd vicinage by Rawdon and Cornwall!#, 'l'helr slaves were taken off mid sent to the West Indies; their horses, cattle, hogs, grain, etc., were appropriated and consumed; their mills were burned; and one of the brothers, Capt. Ely Kershaw, was sent a prisoner to Bermuda. But persecution and oppression failed to chill the patriotism of a family who hnve ever proved themselves goovl knights and true. A singular fatality has Httendcd the name of Kershaw. Of the three antc rcvolutlonury brothers none have de fendants in the male line living, save Col. Joseph Kershaw; and fromTilm, in eaeli generation, only one man sof the name lived to bear its duties and wear its honors? but well did that ono per form his allotted tasK. Col. Joseph Kershaw married Miss Mathls, a sister of Samuel Mathls, ''the flrft ma'e born In Camden." and there fore, of com rsc, our article on the Qua kers and their descendants was In error in not Including the descendant* of the "Mnthis family. Col. Joseph Kershaw, the son of Col. Joseph Kershaw and the father of our distinguished fellow citizen, Gen. Joseph Brevard Kershaw, died ubout the year IB20. lie was a member of Congress 1812 ? 1814, but devoted his life mostly to private pursuits aud to extricating his fathers'* entate from the wieck of the Revolution and tiie result of a change from the cultivation of wheat to that of cotton, hy which the mill Interest* of this section were destroyed; but he was unl vcrenlly beloved and esteemed and was very prominent ns a citizen and h Mason. Our favorite el.Uen, Geu. Kershaw, \* the only male of the name of his genera tion; aud his son, Kev. John Kershaw, the only male ot his. And in the fe.uale line, descendants of this noble family are not very numerous. Mr. Benjamin Per kins, a lawyer of chnructer and position, married a daughter of Col. Joseph Ker^ shaw. The descendants of that large family are few ami uono of the name now live here. Messrs. Henry K. Du Bose and Edward C. DnBose, are the only members of that branch of the fami 1y living hcie. That eminent man and distinguished jui 1st, Judge Joseph Brevard, married a daughter of Capt. Ely Kershaw and left three sons ? Edward Eugene u:id l)r. Alfred Brevard ? and a daughter ? Mrs. Benjamin T. Klmore; all cultivated and aocoinpllshed people. Edward and Eu gene died In tarly manhood. Mr. and Mrs. Elmoretnoved to Columbia, and af terwards to Alabama. l)r. Alfred Bre vard, an accomplished scholar nnd gen tleman, died at comparatively early age, leaving quite a largo and most interes ting family, over the too early graves of most of whom many who read these sketches have sadly mourned. Of all Judge Brevard's descendants, In this third generation, but two remain with ns. Public spirit, enterprise and patriot ism have ever been marked characteris tics of this family. Co|. Kershaw was chiefly instrumental In the establishment of a Parish of the Church of England here. Tlio church was located on the west of South Broad street, where the family burying ground is still kept up. The ferry across the Wateres was chartered by Col. Kershaw and Mr. Sam uel NVyley at the site of tho present bridge; and Col. Kershaw, who owned the lands on the western branch, which descends to the Perkins family, built a small town over there, ??Westerhnm," which has shared the fate of mnny other projected cities. A few traces only have been visible "within (tie memory of the oldest Inhabitant." The Revolution was almost as fatal to the Church, for in ad dition to the impoverished condition of the people, the Church of England was viewed with some prejudlue toy the pat riot whips, and ill w?a a half century be fore an Episcopal church again existed In Caiml' n. We have devoted more spnee to this family than wet An, In ttott sketches, devote to any other; but It ilMiy proper y be excused, as the success, llie tone aud prosperity of this community life more ndebted to this than any other one fwh lly, as high ns have been the ftohleve munts'of others. 1'tme aud opportunity were afforded the founders of the family here, and well did they seise and Improve them. In the private walks of life they have been most exemplary ; In society, genial and accomplished; in patrlott?m, abreast of the foremost ; and Its honors, nor tlmo, nor change have diminished. At ft bat Where Brevard, Blaudlng, Mu Wlllle, Mill, Withers, DeHaussure, Ac., have won honoft, that family has furn - Ished the peer of any; and a district which did Its whole duty 'In the Revolu tion, In the war o< 1812, In .the Florida war and In the clot Ions Mexican cam paign, nnd proudly cherishes the momory of all Its heroes In those wars, can point to none of her sous with so high and tiist a pride ns the representatives of the Cershaws In the late war.
