nc Darien short Line.

The charter Tor the Darieu short line
railroad will soon be in the hands OF the
Legislature, and then it will emain to be
seen what the people along the proposed
line will do. The railroad and the river
and harbor improvements are really the
only subjects now of the slightest i'm
portance to the people, who, barring
these two things, are happy. The entire
people, the Gazette says, are industrious,
sober, temperate and cOntepted. Tney
need nothing except these two things,
and desire nothing OF the Legislature or
the people but TO be allowed to have them.
Their morals are in good haGds-their
own, and their good sense and keen APP
probation ct right and wrong will ever
keep them right in these-but they do ask
and need some cooperation and assistance
from the capitalists to put them in
position to repair their fortunes by build
ing up properties which will enhance the
value OF their lands, and facilitate the
commerce upon which they largely de-
pend. This railroad will do this; they
need only this for the present, otherwise
are blessed.

shooting McCrea fled to South Carolina.
he was arrested and lodged in jail at

SERVED PART OF HIS TERM.

An Appling County Murderer In the
Penitentiary While His Case is Being
Tried.
Sheriff Cook, of Appllng county, CON-
mitted to Jail yesterday a white man
named Philip J. Herndon, who was sem
fenced at the last March term of the APP
pling Superior Court to Imprisonment for
life, under the charge of murder.
The prisoner was brought to the jail
here Immediately after his conviction.
His attorney made motion tor
new trial, which was refused.
A supersedeas order was granted
and the case WAS taken to the Supreme
Court. The fact OF the issue of the super
sedes was not made known to the
jailer of Chatham county; hence, when
the guard from the penitentiary came
here last May, Hsrndon was among the
number sent.
The Supreme Court took the case up
for review in its turn, and finally Or
dered that new trial be granted.
A bout this time IL was discover
ed that HeTndOn was serving portion Of
term In the penitentiary. Sheriff Cook
was Immediately authorized to remove
the prisoner from the penitentlary and
turn him over TO the iailer here until the
result Of the new trial can be determined
