II., S. C. o Thursday, October 2H, 1875, Immigration Society. Wo think it would redound to tho interest of Pickens County to organiro an immigration Society, with intelligent, oncrgotic men at tho head of it. Greenville and other countios liavo Buch an organisation, by which means they aro onablod to socuro all tlin nmirrrnnts rnmincr i 111 n 1 Iuk Rpf.t.iiiii e o of country. Pickons should not bo behind hor sister counties in this rcs-> pect. Sho should hnvo hor society with her best and most intelligent citizens at its bond, who would place thomeclvos in communication with ngencics in Now York and othor cities, as woll as the emigants thornsolvoh, and lay beforo thom tho many advantagos of our County as an in ducoiuont for thorn to como and sot> tlo among ua. Tlio agricultural and min.irnl rosourcos of tho County; tho manufacturing advantagos; the church and Bchool facilities; tho manners and customs of tho pooplo; tho salubrity of tho climato; tho purity of tho water; ihefortilitv of f.hn soil; firm mniinliiin ecenory and a gonornl description of tlio County should bo published in plain and simpio langungo in pamphlet iorm, and placod in tno hands of tho oraigrant. Ho would then know aomothing of tho country ho wasaskod to go to, and wouid feci that ho had an introduction to tho pcoplo beforo he went amongst them. If wo do not t.nlfft nn infnrnftt. in <lii? mntlnv and inhko an effort to socuro some ol thoimmigants now pouring into tho South, and especially tho 1'iodtnont belt of country, they will all pass us by and scttlo amongst thoso who liavo laid their claims before them. Tho society could put itacit in direct communication with Mr. Tilman J?. Guinea, who has established an agency in Now York city, and obtain from him and other agents, tho number and kind of immigrants desiring homes in this section, their trade or calling; and those of our citizcns want'ng them could mako their ordors direct through tho Society without any un neccssary trouble. Thoso having lands to bell or Iqaho could make il known by this incanH directly to tho immigrant?tho prico, number of acres and quality of land, and cfToct a salo or loaso without tho least troublo or difticultv. There, aro mnnw nndunn. tftgcs to the County llial would ariso through such u Society; hor waste places would soon bo built up and tlio fiolds that arc now grown up in broom sage and pines, would soon bo teaming with the irohlfln <rrnin or flnnr-v n n J cotton. It would iiifuso now life in our nativo citizens, and bo nn impetus to improvement and real prosperty. Tbon lot uh organizo an Immigration 1 Society, and go to work in real earn^ ' ost to build up and onrieb our County. ' Will tboso wbo favor immigration, lot ' us bear from them on this subject'/' Those in Arrears I To Tub 8entinei< on account of t subscription, will plouso remember b that wo need money, ami unless tlicy settle up by tho 1st of January next, t wo will bo forced to crnso tlicir names t from our list.

Major Whito was indictod for as?. sault and battery with intont to kill upon Austin Davis, a colored boy in his omploy. Upon this indictipont ho was put upon trial, and aftor long deliberation by tho jury a vordict of guilty of assault was rondored against him. Tho jury ehargod with tho triul of the easo argued upon this vordict only as a kind of compromise, nnd with tho expectation that Maj. NV hi to would reeoivo that consideration from tho court usual in all such eases: that his punisiunont- would bo in propor tion to tho oflenco committed, and in uccordanco with established prccodont. Tho sontonco of tho court was that Major Whito pay tho costs in tho prosecution of tho case, and that ho bo confined in tho Count}' jail for thirty days. In passing this sontcnco, Judgo Cooko mado it convenient to bring tho color question to thosurfaco and onucavorcd to impress upon tho prisoner tho o\en poiso with which ho aimed to hold tho scalos of ju6tico IIo claimed that ho could do nothing less, and wlion appealed to by Cel. Colli run, counsol for prisoner, to put, in tho alternative, (fino or imprisonment), averred that bo wna doing what bo conceived to bo lor tbo boat interosts of tbo country. Austin Davis, tbo complainant in tbis action, was tried and convicted upon two charges, 0110 for assault and uauory wiui iniont 10 kiii ana uio otlior for nRsault and battery. For tlio first offonco ho waa scntonced to tho county jail for sixty, and for tlio Hccond for 30 day8. Tlio ovidonco in a!! threo of tlio cano? was pretty much tho samo, but how difforonl tho finding of the jury! Davis was convicted upon two charges?tho first partaking somewhat of tho natoro of murdor, t 1 k A 1111 miw>li mAi*A ?wrm>ni'uf .wl than tho simple assault of Maj. While; yet for all this mountain load of guilt ho was sont to the county jail for only ninoty days, while Major White is compollod to pay tho costs of Irs prcsocution and go to jail lor thirty days. In cases identically similar, Davis onlv suffers imnrisonmont for thirtv * I J duyfl. Wliito pays tlio costs and also undergoes tiio imprisonment. Davis Iosob nothing, bin timo not boing worth more than ten dollas a month. Wlnto lias a largo businoss and at this soneon, especially, thero is no telling how much tho consequential losses may bo. Davis commenced tho difficulty. White protected his place and family and himself from injury unu maim, nnu assorted wmi spirit tho divino right of solf-dofcnso which socicty still ullows to every man. An indignity is imposed upon him. Ilowovor much tho Judgo has dono in in m uiiiti/ur hj oicvaio nimncu among tho illiterate and vulgar, ho has not gainod tho esteem of many worth}' citizonsof all colors, who have always sustained him in tho dischargo of tho diflicult duties of his position ?Abbeville Medium.
