The products here meant by the general assembly are the products of the planters. Planters are those who plant something in the ground, or sow something therein, which produces fruit or increase from this planting and growing from the soil, such as cotton, corn or rice, Potatoes, sugarcane, sugar, ground-peas, hay, fodder, are such products as planters raise from the soil, like they do cotton, corn and rice; but timber, turpentine, rosin, wood, and things of that sort, are not products of the soil of the same sort as the three named, planted or sown and raised by planters from the soil.
