On Saturday night, while Policeman
Redmond, of jackson, was carrying a
negro to Jail, the negro suddenly
turned and fired a deadly pistol shot
into the policeman's breast, from which
he died few minutes later. The ne
gro was overpowered by some persons
who witnessed his murderous deed, and
lodged in Jail, before he had time to
escape. There was some talk of vio-
lence by an excited crowd in front of
the Jail, but Judge Powell arrived and
made talk, in which he promised
speedy justice, and the men dispersed.

signers. All people with the right kind
of hearts in them naturally sympa.
thize deeply with the parents and fam.
lily of the condemned man, but the
concensus of opinion among the best
citizens of this county undoubtedly is
that if the people who sign this pc
tition and Gov. Longino are not will
ing to let John Sasser, with his black
and murderous record, hang, as JUS
tice and the law have decreed, they
might just as we'll abolish capital pun

SOUTHERN THREAD MANUFACT.
URE.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
VIII the time ever come when the
manufacture of thread will be under
taken in the South? Though the |
form in which we put this question is
not in the least suggestive OF the an
swer we presume that every one who |
has given it any thought will readily
answer it in the Affirmative.
But there are serious difficulties in
the way which must first be over
come At present the manufacture
of thread, both in this country and
abroad, is carried on by an immense
trust, whose immense capital enables
it to buy up all the patents for thread
manufacture as rapidly as ingenious
inventors can bring them out and to
nip competition in the bud by cor
morant-like gobbling up all of the in
cipient industries. Business men
are usually rather chary about put
ting money into enterprises which
are likely to be starved out of exist
ence at any time by the all-powerful
trust which can easily check compe-
tition at once by reducing the scale
Of prices.
Still, even trusts can be success
fully defied, provided articles of man
ufacture can be produced Of superior
quality or more convenient use to
ANYTHING which the trusts can pro-
duce; but time and money are both
required to bring about this desired
result and it takes courage to hazard
the attempt Nevertheless, there is
good reason to believe that the day
is not far distant when the South will
be protitably engaged in the manu-
facture of thread With the cotton
fields all around us, it stands to rea-
son that we ought to be able to man
ufacture spool cotton in competition
with industries which are located
1920 miles off. Certainly the out
look is no more discouraging than it
was for American steel several years
ago, when Great Britain monOpolized
the worlds trade, but it was eventu-
\ ally found out that this country
could produce better steel than Great
l Britain and today this country is the
] greatest exporter of steel on the
! globe. Perhaps history may repeat
4 itself in the case o. thread and show
that the South can produce an article
J of superior adaptability to anything
} which New England or old England
I can produce, and at less cost.
Already this session is competing
successfully with the North and Eas'
in the manufacture of cotton fabrics
and many commercial prophets 60 Sc
1 far as to say that the time will come
I when the South will monopolize thu
industry. But if this prediction il
