The Martins Depot Lynching.

The following additional particulars
concerning the lynching near Martins
Depot the night Of the 9th instant have
been obtained since our last issue. Sun
day night, Sd instant, barn or COW
house, or something of the kind, be-
longing to Mr.. j. S. Blalock, of Mar
tins Depot, was burned by an incendi-
ary. The proximity of the barn to the
dwelling-house, and other circumstan-
ces, led to the belief that the purpose of
the incendiary was to burn the dwell
ing-house and its occupants, Mr.. Bla-
locks family. Mr.. Blalock set about to
discover the perpetrator Of the crime;
and became convinced that the incendl-
ary was a negro woman living on his
plantation named Judy Metts. Satur-
dav. the 9th, he went to Trial JUS
tice N. S. Harris. at Clinton, six
miles distant; and procured war
rant Of arrest on the charge Of arson.
The Trial Justice put the warrant in
the hands Of Constable Sam'l Gary to
be executed. He went to Mr.. Blalock's
plantation and arrested the woman;
and started with her 10 Clinton about 8
o'clock that night. About two miles
above Martins Depot, and nearly oppo-
site Mr.. Henry NJ. Hunters residence
he and his prisoner were oVertaken BY
a crowd of men on horseback and IN
disguise. Some of the party carried
the woman off in one direction, and
others carried the constable in another
direction. His statement is, that he was
kept in charge by the party for about
an hour and then released will. the
command to "gitw which he lost no
time in obeying. He proceeded to
Clinton. The woman was found the
next morning about two hundred yards
from the road hanging to tree dead:
The Coroner inquest revealed nothing;
the verdict Of the jury being that the de-
ceased came to her death by hanging at
the hands of persons to the jury I'M
known-or words to that effect. She
was buried Monday by the colored peo-
pie. At what time of the day Saturday
the warrant was given to the Constable.
and whether he made haste to commu-
nicate the fact of the lynching, are mat
ters about which we have no informa-
ton.
The woman was about thirty-tive
years of age, and leaves husband and
children.
So far as we are Informed, no steps
have been taken looking to the discdv-
cry of the lynchers. This is the busl-
ness of the Executive and of the officers
and people of Laurens County. But
the people Of the whole State are inter-
ested in knowing whether crimes OF
this kind are to be passed over in silence
and unconcern. We shall see.

Ex.President Davis New Sook.

The Town and County are being can
vassed for jefferson Davis new book,
The Rise and Fall of the Southern Con-
federacy. This book has been looked
for eagerly since it was first known that
the ex-President was at work upon it;
and the rapidity with which the book
is selling shows the public interest felt
in the author and the subject. 1t is a
book that should be in the library Of
every Southerner.
The general scope of the book may
be gathered from the following extract
from the preface:
"A duty to my countrymen; to the
memory of those who died in defense Of
a cause consecrated by inheritance, as
well as sustained by conviction; and to
those who, perhaps less fortunate, staked
all and lost all in its behalf, has impell-
ed me to attempt the vindication Of
their course and conduct. For this pur-
pose I have decided to present an his
torical sketch of the events which pre-
ceded and attended the struggle of the
Southern States to maintain their exist
ence and their rights as sovereign COM
munitles-the creators, not the crea-
lures, of the general government"
To the parents, the widows and the
orphans of the Confederate dead, | offer
the consolation that those for whom
they mourn died for the right-a will
ing sacrifice on the altar of their coun-
try, where their memories, enshrined in
the breasts of their people, will 60 down
in tradition TO posterity, immortalized
by valor in defense Of honor, and mar
tyrdom for liberty"

immigration Into the South.
WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS Is MORE MANU-
FACTORIES-SOME WORDS OF WISDOM
FROM SENATOR JACKSON.

1T an immigration convention held at
Jackson, Tenn, last week, a report was
adopted which provides for an organization
known as the West Tennessee Immigration
and Manufacturing Association, to be char
tered as a stock company, with a central
organization at Jackson and branch organ
izations in each county, the Presidents of
the branch organizations with th3 officers
of the central organization constituting the
executive committee. United States Sena-
tor, Howell E. Jackson, delivered an address
which attracted considerable attention.
He took the ground that what is needed is
not so much immigration as manufactures;
that the farming population could be de-
creased and the manufacturing class in
Tennessee increased, with benefit to both
that the boys and girls of Tennessee should
be taught useful occupations, and that labor
is honorable and no. a disgrace. Senator
Jackson made the point that no place pos
sessing the ability to manufacture should
make commerce of its raw material; that
such policy was unwise in the extreme.
The good points made by Senator jackson
have wider application than made by the
Senator f 81

The Cooperative store Movement.

The English cooperative store societies
continue to flourish. According to the
statistics presented at their recent annual
Congress IN Leeds their aggregate capital is
nearly S35 100000 and their net profits
about IS, 000,0 600 a year. They have over
900, 900 members, a large majority of whom
are married men. Reckoning the cooper
ators and their families, it is estimated that
at least million and half of persons are
directly interested in the stores, with their
adjuncts of savings bank, reading-rooms and
wholesale purchasing agencies. They sup
port large wholesale establishment in Man

buy for them American provisions of the
best quality and at frst-hand prices.

There are several Senators who have no
other income than their salaries. They can
not draw more money than is actually due
them, but are entitled to their salary
whether they come near Washington during
the session of Congress or stay away II
they do not call for their money it is SEMI to
them on the lst of July each year. The
majority of Senators are railroad directors,
presidents of railroad companies, presidents
of banks, bank directors, etc. Pendleton and
Sherman both have large railroad interests.
as also has Henry G, Davis, OF West ViE-
gInis, who has large mining interests, be
sides a large commercial business in Bal

both interested in railroad enterprises in the
southwest With but few exceptions, all
OF them are iEgeFested in some way with
some corporation or other. The 5000

Southern Progress.

There has been subscribed in the North
and in Europe during the past eighteen
months 500, 0000 900 for Southern invest
ment. In this estimate none of the vast
sums invested in the Southwest are inclu-
ded. In other words, this enormous sum
OF money covers investments and develop
ments only in that part of the South east
of the Mississippi River and south of
Richmond. OF course the greater pro-
portion has been subscribed for the pur-
chase and building of railroad lines. The
effect of this has been To improve the roads
already constructed and to open new sec
tions of country, thus starting new cur
rents of trade and quickening old ones.
We includs in these the rapid multiplica-
tlon of manufactures of various kinds IN
Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee. West
Virginia, North Carolina and Northern
Alabama, to which may be added the large
investments of Northern and European
capital in lands in Florida. Within the
past twelFemonth nearly S2,000,000 has
been invested by Eastern and OHIO capi-
talists in cotton manufactures in Georgia
alone; 5000 900 mas been subscribed in
New York for the development of coal
and iron enterprises in Tennessee. Other
New York parties, IN conjunction with
some Pennsylvanians, have put 81 100000
into steel works and cotton mills in North
menJ in Florida, undertaken by Hamilton
Disston and other wealthy Philadelphians,

ment of $4,000, 900 A firm representing
$3,000,000 opened an Office in Atlanta a
few months ago and advertised that it
would loan money on farms at : per cent.
per aunum. In New Orleans an English
loaned $500, 900 at low rate of
interest on Mississippi cotton lands last |
year, and a Boston company to operate in
the same field is now being organized.

these enterprises are also to be noticed |
special efforts on the part of not a few |
Southern State Governments, as we'll as of |
private corporations and individuals, to |
attract European immigration, with a view /
of increasing and diversifying their indus
trial forces Those efforts have, it is true,
not been attended with any considerable |
degree of success as yet; but as the fact is
owing rather to defective methods than to /
a deficiency of inducements, it is reasonable |
to suppose that ultimately they will have
the desired Philadelphia Item.
