ON THE CONIX'CT AND MANAGEMENT OF OVERSEERS. ^
DRIVER, AND SLAVE.
Santee, April 3, 1S36.
Mr. Eiliior,?I received your letter a
month since, requesting me to give you j
* my system in the management of Mr. ^
plantation." Your letter I would
have answered before this ; but being
now somewhat advanced in age, and not
exactly in writing order, I deferred doing
so until the present time. However,since
you think an account of my system of
management might benefit overseers gen
erally, I shall comply, even at this late j
hour; for I do assure you, that nothing
gives me greater pleasure than to have it
in my power to say or do any thing, however
little, that might improve overseers
in their regulation and management. Having
been an overseer myself for twenty !
years, I think 1 ought to know, how impor- j1
rt.ml it is to ilium to be well informed as to ?
their duties. But, Mr. Editor, this is not '
acting like a goed overseer; I am.not wri- *
ting to the point in question: so without '
any more preface, I shall give you as the /
best outline of my system, on account ol I
what you desire.
It was fifteen years ago, that I was first 5
: employed to overlook, and superintend
i the plantation of Mr. . Asa wise
rL and conscientious man, Mr. rcqui'
red of mc testimonials as to honesty and
activity of character. When I satisfied
him as to these, he then, in a verv explicit
. manner, told me, what would be required
of me. Among an hundred other things, 1
he impressed upon my mind, that I was to *
he his representative; to regulate his slaves }
in their moral and general conduct; to ^
sustain my employer's reputation among ?
merchants fur the quality of his produc- J
1 1-_ - ..i_... - ......
nou?, una iu uniite ins jiidiiiauuo u puueiu .
of regularity and order to the neighborhood
around. When Mr. began s
4 I
to talk iu this way, I at first thought he
was quizzing me. I had before been an
overseer ; but had never been spoken to 1
in this solemn sort of manner. W ith oth- (
' cr planters, where T showed that I was c
honest aud active, that was enough?I 1
was directed where I was to live, and my a
authority as overseer commenced, for evil I
or for good, for one year from that date. v
I say that when Mr. first began to v
lecture ine as to what he would expect of l'
rue* I thought him quizzing ; but I soon N
changed toy mind. 1 soou discovered y
that he meant every word he said ; and .
... ti
moreover meant, mat ti snouul oe attentively
listened to, and executed. He told
me that there was no duty more difficult I1
than the one I was about to assume ; ac- u
cording!/, said he, uc had better under- "
stand one another explicitly* He then recounted
every thing he would expect of
mc ; how ! should demean myself; how J1
I should inann^e his slaves ; nothing was
omitted which he could think of.
Nor was Mr.- sutislied here. Jj
Most of mv duties he had committed to n
r\
writing, and I was required to keep them r
. us a constant guide to nte in the manage- s
ment of his plantation. Whether they t(
were excellent or not shall appear, when r<
I speak of how I m inagedjtis estate ; for "
let me assure you, Mr. Editor, that if I 0
have been successful as an overseer, I attribute
all, to the advice of my employer. ?'
When I commenced my duties as over- ,r
seer with Mr.??, I was firmly impressed
with the belief, that "knowledge is power." lc
I fell that whether applied to the Sciences c
or to the pursuits iu which I was embark- P'
cd, that information of every kind was al
useful to me. Without being obtrusive, !*
therefore. I determined to Dick tin from i '!
every planter and overseer, what I could
J earn as to his business. I found that the s<
iiwtM ignorant inan could teach me some- |}
thing, which I had net known before, v
What I learned, was submitted to my
employer, when I could do so with con- ?,
reaience. Sometimes he would dissent vl
from what I proposed ; and then I was P;
never ashamed to argue the point with
him, and show him the reasons why I tf
ihonght myself correct. I pursued the ei
same plan with the driver. Whatever I cl
was to do, I always consulted him about it. ; If
This gave hint confidence and respousi- it
bility in himself; and character in the eyos j h
of those he had to superintend. n
Speaking of the driver, brings mc to no- t<
t ce my management of him moreparticu- h
lirly. I always required of him, that he e
s iould dress himself better than the other a
negroes. Caused him to maintain a pride if
of character before them, which was high- s<
lv beneficial. Indeed, I constantly endea- p
- ? -? * L* L 1
votirefl, to uo noimng wnicn womu cause s
them to lose their respect for him. With
this view, I made it a rule never to Scold tl
or lecture my driver before the other nc- a
groes for any inadverteuce or fault. If a
he did any thing which was out of the way, tl
1 took hiiu by himself and lectured him tl
severely. If the fault was of a flagrant ii
nature, as was once the case with him, ii
1 publicly flogged him before the other fc
negroes, and disgraced him by appointing f
another in bis place. I would never listen ii
to evetyr talfe that that the negroes might b
have against the driver; but whenever l<
they could urge any thing which seemed a
plausible or correct, I would consent to r
have him tried. At these trials, I would t
preside as umpire?would listen to the evi- t
dence for and against, and my decision al- t
ways awarded a punishment of some kind i
"to the guilty partj^r? to the driver, if guilty i
or to the accusers if they did not make t
good their charges. Persons might sup- I
pose that the fear of not making out their I
case, would prevent the negroes from ac- ;
cusing when really they had been injured; I
but I never found a case of the kind. <
Every night it was my driver's business J
to inquire of me what I would have done |
the ne$i day. Although, he frequently <
had his duties allotted to him, for a week i
ahead, he was nevertheless required to do <
piis regularly every evening. He was !
ilso at the same time required to report t
he work of the day ended. It will be 1
isked what was the necessity of all t
his, when I superintended every thing 1
hat was done myself ? I answ er ; it gave i
he driver a habit of regularity, and pre- '*
larcd him for a proper discharge of i
lis duties, should I be sick. The more j
he driver is kept aloof from the negroes,
lie better. The truth is, he cannot main- 1
ain too much pride in his conduct towards ]
hem. Once let them believe that they 1
ire his equals, and all control is lost. i
I have said so much about the driver, j t
hat I have little room to speak of the ne- ' j
;*rocs. Their proper management consti- J?
utes the chicfsucccss of the planter. It I
lie has not a proper control of them, he had j t
much better give up planting ; for as sure i
-? :ii .
IS lie continues inev "U? rum mm. I I
Having laid down rules for the regulation <
if your plantation, the first consideration j
s the study of the character of yoi/r nc-' f
?rocs. This will not takovou long to do; ; 1
3 y C* 7 | j
n one month the full character of every ,1
slave you superintend might he learnt, j I
Kor the breach of every rule, certainty of j *
tuuiahment is every thing. If a negro is 1 *
rennitted to go once unpunished for a j(
"ault, he will at any time afterwards do the :
same and risk being flogged. I have al- j'
vays discovered that where the overseer j1
$ positive, that the negroes arc better *
iiseiplined, more mildly treated, and con- j'
sequcntly inorc happv ; once, however, a 11
regro has been punished, the fault should c
)e overlooked, and his spirits should not he , *
nokenuown by continually reminding him : 1
>f his past misconduct. Not observing 1
his rule, has very often ruined some of the }
rery best negroes. I have frequently met
vith negroes, whom the whip would ruin,1'
villi"whom a lirtlc flattery could do every j1
hing. I will state an instance of the kind, i
i'en years ago, I bought at auction in J
Charleston n stubborn, ill looking fellow ; j j
iold as a runaway. Upon examination, I ?j
ouiid tbat he bad the marks of having i c
iceii repeatedly whipped. I asked the I <3
ellow the reason of this, he said it was be-!?
ause he could not do his work. I was ;
:onviuced that Ben, (for that was his
tame) had not been properly managed. I , J
iccordinglv purchased him at a reduced I ^
trice ; took him home, and put him to ' j?
vork by the side of some of my best j f
vorkers. I pointed out what I would re- )*
[uireofhim; and in a flattering way,ohser- *
ed to the other fellows, that I was now I i,
;oing to give them a push. "Now," said 11
, " Ben, I will expect you to do your |r
est: keep close to t'uose fellows, and if (J
ou follow them up close, you may lee!! ?
i -1- iryj ir j _i j If
ruuy or yuuiftvu. uv scvuieu picuscu u
t my remark, said he would, and commenced
as if he intended to do his best. I
jft Den to himself, and in a few hours af2r
returned to where he was working : he
ras getting on exceedingly well, for which 1
complimented him. It was in this maner
that I urged him on throughout his *
ay's woik. That evening he finished tj
is task, did it well, and went home much G
leased with himself. This was the first a
top towards the reformation of Ben. By
dlowing up my treatment, I so entirlcy ?
^claimed him in a few months; that from
eing a runaway and rogue, I made him |
ne of my primes! and trustiest negroes. J
Order should he strictly maintained I;
mong negroes. By this, 1 mean order
i their occupations and duties. Once or al
vice in the month, I made it my business
> visit each negro house; I examined
very thing therein ; saw that the negroes
ermittcd no dirt or filth to be collected
bout them, and as invariably punished I
mm where I found they had done so, as t
' they had omitted to do their day's work,
'his plan of supervising your negro hou:s,
works wonderful effects upon your ^
lantation. It keeps your negroes clean'
and healthy : and prevents the conceal- t!
lent of all kind ^of roguery. If every m
verscer would follow this plan, I am coninccd
that there would be little use for
atrol laws.
I not only attended to the negroes in j
?r? flor?nlinoe< nf lhr>ir hnusns. hut I also.
njoined the strictest observance as to the ^
leanlincssof their dress. If negroes are
ift to themselves, they will, general speak- ig,
pay little attention to their dress. I
nve seen them on some plantations al-'
lost naked from suffering their clothes !
> remain unrnended. This can easily ^
e remedied. Make it a rule to oblige
very negro, to have his clothes mended ir
s soon as you discover them broken; and ^
your foree be large, have some old per-:
en to serve as " general mender" to the j o1
lanlatiort, and you will never have to in- r(
ult the eye with a set of ragged negroes,
Next, to making your negroes attend to 11
ie orderly arrangement of their houses, y
nd dress, you should oblige them to ti
ttend also to that of every thing about | tc
ae plantation. I obliged every negro on jt(
lie plantation to superintend every thing 1 n
i its place that lie linds displaced. If, for 1 i,
ns;ancc, a negro passes a fence that has tl
ieen put down ; if a rail has been thrown j *
mm its nlace. it is his busines to replace I1
t, or to inform the proper person whose ! |]
msiness it is to do so. Xhis rule 1 fol- h
owed when I was a poor man, working at;
[salary of five hundred dollars a year; i ^
iow that I can drive my chair, I stick to ; t(
he rule still. I believe that a great por- j o
ion of my success in life depended upon 1
his simple rule, which was first taught i ,
ne by my employer. I was riding out s
vith him, a short time after coming j
:o oversee for him, he happened to pass ; ^
}y a fence where one of the bars had been |
left down, by which means the cattle had j
?ot into the oats patch. His coachman :
had passed by the fence in that condition j
Dnce before that morning. Mr. , J
upon his return home had his coachman j
punished. It was in vain that he said in i
extenuation of his conduct, that he had v
not observed the fcar; it fehould have been t1
observed by him, as well as by his master; ?
so he was punished, Though I lived lit-;
ceii years for Mr. , I never knew
lis coachman to be punished for the same
hing a second time. Some persons niigli!
lave thought Mr. severe for pun.
shing a fault so apparently trifling ; bui
is I have before observed, it is by the punshment
of small faults that large ones arc
prevented.
Negroes should in no instance be pernitted
to trade, except with their masters
13y permitting them to leave the plantatioi
with the view of selling and buying, more
s lost by the owner than he is generally
lware of. Let each planter have upon hi:
)lacc, a store of such articles as his slave:
isually purchase elsewhere. These car
jc dealt out to them lbr theircorn and sue!
hings astheyha\cto sell. 15y*so do
ng, your negroes will be belter ant
nore cheaply provided ; and be put ou
>f the way of the temptation to roguery.'
I hold cut every inducement to the nc
;roos to marry among themselves on tin
ilantnlion ; thus giving them 110 cause foi
caving their homes. Whenever mv cm
11 1. 1 1 "1
>iovor rouiu 110 so, nc aiways purcnasec
he families of any neuro he might own
issigmng the reason I have already giv
:n.
Rut, i>Ir. Editor, I must conclude, 1
lave already trespassed upon your patience
oolong. You will accept my crude re
ie'etions, as they arc intended, for the
lenefit of overseers, who have as I have
lad, once to commence. Should vol
lesire to have from me, more particulars
y, be pleased to interrogate me, as tc
he points upon which you desire informaion
; and I shall endeavour to answei
rour queries.
Not wishing to intrude my humble
inmc upon the public, I subscribe myself
with great respect.

A Lasting Cure for the Fever Ague.
rHIS worthy remedy earnestly repels tne siur
of being a quack medicine, it being the reUt
of many year's study, experience and labor
i tho medical practice and observation of Fever
ad Ague.
It is composed of such medicinal principles as
ere considered most fit to restore tho harmony
f action between the stomach and liver. By
mewing tho healthy action of tho digestive orans,
it has proved itself of remarkable benefit in
yspepsia, Depraved Appetite, Heart-burn, Wasr
Brash, Flatulency, Jaundice, Night Sweats,
lysentery Bowel Complaints, but it is in the
eatment of FEVER and AGLE or Intermitms
Fever, that its powers have been princijwlly
*-* -* ' - i ?
;stcd, and wun mosc wnu iwvc ?wu iu? uouimess,
it is pronounced sovereign.
Among a large list of certificates of its efficacy
1 Philadelphia, where the manufacturer resides,
xere are a number from Physicians of that city,
[undreds of others in different parts of this coun y
bear testimony to its unrivalled success. At
;ast a hundred might bo given from persons in
iiis place and the adjoining neighborhood who
avc been cured by it, but|it is thought to be altoether
unnecessary. It may be proper to menion
however, for the encouragement of those at
distance,who are afflicted with Fever and Ague,
o use this remedy, that several of the Physicians
f this town, have during the past year, and do at
his time recommend its use.
