MURDER ABROAD.
The thoughtful and attentive reader, can
but agree, with Mr.. Wallace p. Reed, the
able correspondent, of the Atlanta Constitu.
tion, when he said, in the last weekly issue OF
that paper, that 1.-The red tidal wave. which
has been rolling relentlessly onward in other
countries. has not spared our own land" ana
In evidence, OF such ascertain, said, that IN
that paper, a week or two before, there was
given, an account of fifteen murders. The
same writer is authority for the statement,
that in Kentucky short time ago there
were forty seven killings In forty eight days.
This is appalling and only from one paper,
what would 1t be, with all of the murder and
suicide, statistics, in one account.
COLLECTING DEBTS WITH a PISTOL.
Last weeks Press and Banner gave very
short account of shooting scrape which oc-
er account. Last night, week ago, while at
preaching, SO the story goes, Henry 4arbor-
ough dunned Dunk Wright tboth colored) for
some say,l0 cents and some quarter. Dunk
pleaded inability to settle just then. This did
not suit Henry, who declared that he would
kill (as said) Dunk If he did not pay it then
and there, and advanced toward Dunk In II
threatening manner. and then Dunk shot
Henry twice. Dunk was arrested, tried and
committed to the Abbeville jail. II was
thought at first that Henry, was very danger
ously wounded. since then the Doctor has
decided that he will pul through" and Dunk
is at home again, under bond, for his appear
ance at court.
BLOOD FLOWED.
And then, the week before last, much blood
Was spilled, on Capt. j. E. Brownlee;s place.
One night Il mink. or minks, or some other
nipht providers got among his poultry and
killed sixty chickens and three turkeys.
Those that have can afford to lose. The
minks or whatever they were. would have to
bring with them. forty or fifty fowls, before
they could kill, an equal number as at Capt.
Brownlees at many OF our houses, for the nlg
meetings, picnlcs &c. have considerably
iaesan al these i'm mpOrtanL household adjunCtS.
