the labor ana the class of people sent OUT,
were wholly unsuited and unadapted to the
needs of the landowners and planters OF the
State, and while it could not supplant the Ia
Dor already here, it was not even deslraDle, III
the condition of affairs at that time, 10 IN
duce such people to come among us. Ihls the
speaker claimed to have foreseen; but un-
daunted by the unsatisfactory results of his
first efforts, in which the people had practical
demonstration of the inutility of pauper I'M
migration, he then turned his attention ell
tirely to what he originally conceived to be the
true want and need of the State-men OF ell
ergy and capital to come among us and de-
velOp the resources and utilize the lnnumera-
BILE facilities so lavishly bestowed upon us III
minerals, soil, climate, timber and water. 10
successfully accomplish this, much travelling
over the North and West was necessary, and
many lectures were delivered in the cities and
towns which he visited. The speaker then
narrated the success which he had met IN MS
efforts-a success plainly visible in Spartan
burg, Greenville and other points on the All
Line Railroad, and predicted that bright tu-
ture yet awaits our State, and that If our peo-
ple will it, millions of capital and thousands
of Industrious, enterprising people can be IN
duced to come among us.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gaines lecture,
the chairman addressed the meeting, heartily
endorsing the project Of inducing moneyed
immigration, and commencing Mr. Games
and his work to the favorable consideration OF
the people, after which the meeting adjourned.
Mr.. Gaines will probably visit Yorkville
again at future day, of which due notice
will be given, and he hopes then to meet
large number of people interested in the cause
to which he is devoting his time and labor.

From what we can learn, there will be- large
number of cases on the Sessions Docket-ln-
Guiding nearly all the offences known to the
law. There are nineteen persons i'll the coun-
ty jail awaiting trial, Of whom all are colored
except one-Bruner of North Carolina, under
charge of killing Mr.. Murray, Charlotte
builder, who was engaged on contract at
Rock Hill, at the time the homicide was COM
mitted. Of the eighteen colored prisoners, one
is under charge of assault and battery with in
tent to kill two for gambling in the open
woods three for arson; one for highway rob-
berry; two for housebreaking and larceny, and
the others for burglary. With theabove cases
and the large number, the defendants in which
are on recognizance, it is apparent that the
greater portion of the term will be occupied
with the sessions docket.
There are also in the jail three prisoners for
violating laws of the United States-two serv-
ing out sentences and the other awaiting trial
in the United States District Court.
