The Killing CT Richards.

We give much of our space this week
to facts and comments on the killing oil
town marshal of Chcraw by w. b. Cash,
which seems to have been ~ OF the
Iuost cold-bloolcd murders which has
ever occurred within the borders of this
State. Our brethren OF the press have
already commented on this affair so
freely, and it seems to US, so justly, that
nothing remains to be said by us. We
have heard but one sentiment expressed
by our people, and We can only join the
universal demand that Cash may be cap
tured and brought TO trial, and that the
jury may not be afraid To do their whole
duty in the matter. II cold bloOded as
sassins are brought to the bar OF justice
aud made TO suffer the penalties Tor
their acts, we will have fewer murders.
Let the law be enforced against the great
est bully Tor shooting down even the
rule is a cheat and Il fraud if arrogant
and presurnp,uous men can shoot their
humble ncighbors, as they may DO the
beasts of the field, without molcstation
and without punishment. Justice de-
mands that w. B. Cash shall he brought
to tho bar of justice, and there answer
for his deed Of blood.
OF course no body expects that Cash
will suffer the extreme penalty Of the
law, or that he will ever undergo any
great punishment at all. We believe that
no instance has been recorded in this
State where any member of one of tho
"first families have suffered for killing
q poor, unhonored and unsung n~cighbor.
This great storm of indignation which
AS soon az the body Of the dead man is
comfortably fixed in his grave, and the
vision of blood is removed from our eyes
n reaction will take place and Cash will
then he considered a prosecuted man. We
will tLen be called upon to sympathi>c
with the living, and the fact Of the present
indignation will be cited sa wrong which
has peer done to the accused. The hearts
Of the jury will be %soitencd, while the
wealth of the prisoner and the precision
OF his shot may combine and contribute
to overawe and blind the sense and blum
the conscience of the timid juror.
But though the jury may relieve Casl
and exonerate him, yet the Governor
should discharge his whole duty in the
matter. The slayer should be brough
into Court, where the jury may certify te
his innocence.

The LdurcnsuiVe Herald and tho Mer-
chant and Furmer are entertaining their
readers with an extended quarrel.
Newspapers, like nations, very genally
get burt when they go to war, no matter
which side wins. In five years both
these newspapers will regret the purse
which they are now pursuing. Both edi-
tors are gentlemen, and it is useless for
either to distort the actions OF the other.

How Long will Our People be Duped

Tho great move from many parts OF the
State. Tor Arkansas by our people Is one o!
tn. most silly notions of the times. Grcat
offers are made them in thiSn new settlement
and some Of them have heroine so worked up
as to believe that Arkansas Is the very glory
and itself. This Is u great mistake. SO long
MS our people will allow these foolish notions
10 govern Them, SO long Will they remain AT
the command Of poverty and ignorance.
South Carolina, we venture to say, offers faI
better Inducements to all who arc here and
strangers from ubaord than any State in the
South. and as good as any In the countr
Go where o will-if you tail TO make good
use Of your time and labor, you will live and
die In the arms OF poverty. Our advice IL
our people Is TO make themselves satisfied
20 TO work and get homes in which to live
and in 4 lew years n new state of things will
surround us al. Hundreds have eon away
-dupcd with the foolish notions OF lands
that now with milk n honey andto-day they
want to ON back but cannot.

Accommodation Trains

President Haskell has kindly consent
ell to run two trains daily from here to
Hodges and back. This change was in
response to petition of citizens for double
trains three times a week, and We trust
thai the company may lose nothing by
his kind consideration Of our people in
giving them even more than they asked.
Ahbevillc has always remembered Mr..
Haskell with pride and good will, and
his recent act has only proved that he is
true and ever mindful of old friends.
Since the train made but ono trip n
day some OF IL stores have lost custom,
which now goes elsewhere.
Itsswould seen, to us that if extra trains
were run TO Nincty-SiN every Sale Day
and for the first three days Of each Court
that the Railroad would lose nothing
While accommodating a large number of
citizens.
If the price Of return tickets from
N~incty-Six, Greenwood, Hodges and
Donalds could be reduced to i lower fig
ne, everybody would como to tho viii
lage by the accommodation trains, if they
were run, but as it is, the crooked read
makes tho distance much further ny
rail than by the wagon road. For from
Donalds the distance by rail is over 20
miles-by wagon road lG miles; by rail
from Greenwood p milcs-by wagon
