Anderson, Oct. 22.?As a result of I a conference between the solicitor of | this circuit and the coroner of Ander- j Ii n county, the inquest over the body of William Jackson, the negro who was lynched on October 10 for an asnault on a 10-year-old daughter of a leading citizen of Honea Path, probably will be reopened this week. The negro was twice identified by the girl before he was lynched, but great pressure has been brought to bear on the cfPcials by the local ministerial union and the press of this section of the State. The original verdict of the coroner's jury was that the ne irro came to his death by gunshot wounds received from unknown per? sons, and it is generally believed the reopening of the case will fail 10 ^rlng out any material evidence I against the persons composing the mob.

The foundation of all wealth is tend and the man who buys land Is putting his money In the safest pos? sible place. Some people assert that the price of land Is nov/ too high and these same people have been saying this same thing for twenty years and all the while land values have been increasing. The next twenty years will see an even greater increase in values and those who will buy now will reap a reward. Those who are satisfied that land Is a good investment are always on the look out for bargains in real estate and to them the advertisement of the John Clack Realty Company wile be interesting.
