AhN-vitle is again the of erhnc and '5' b!ood>h?*d-a crime forwliich the history ::ts?l the traditions of a county s?> famous iti t';<? ih 1 :ut for iaw and order. lm-nSh noparallcl. It 1 seems from the testimony taken at the Oorout-r's iiitjncst that on the r.i_'hi of Friday, 'tic ti< l?th instant, some iicgnv? undertook to haw ] a candy-pnilincat tIs-.*house of Sarah Martin.1 ?v. on the p'.ant it ion in the possession of Mr. tin stark Martin, that owing to the presi-ncc of |, t Mr. William Bre Mnrtin that intention was ufl abandonvd; that Mr. Martin the sum- night fU1 forced open the ?loor of Caroline Farrow's |v.h hoose, while she was dressing, that she took pc flight from the house in the darkness and se-' m; vretcd herself for n tiiue: that she afterwards j eu went tothehonseot Cornelius Matthews-; that \ sc< Jn about a half or three-quarters of sm hour! u, Iroin that time the muzzle of a gun was scon ! | project inn through a crack hi-tTivcn the lo.'s' t(i ?if the house in which she h.r3 ti ken refute:1 ,l(, that a voice from the out-idc, believed to he <>s i n.u v'l ? iiiinui isiiii . kim s:> care, I'vfl Sot you now>" At that instant the u, r?n fired, and the ^holc load o! shot was fj, toJged in the hipof Caroline Furrow, who wits f, vUinJiisg perhaps f.rar or five leet from the Cl muzzle of tho gun when it was itls--harg d. ja sire fed upon the tV?>r on l.T face. There was Wl Alcd!iinrotion abont the house, not unnatural s: to the occurrence of KU-'h an event: one of the l!s men went into tir~ yard; the ticuieof a man j,| Mipposed to be that of 5Jr. William Kee Mar- U1 1"Sn. nTiS seen to mount a horse, which had 1 tll been Witchcd nearby, after which he rode ; jn away rapidly. 1 ,\i The evidence at the Coroner's inquest was \v Folely in behalf of thesta'e. The Coroner' ik noes not undertake to investigate the merits pl< <if crime, and lience no evidence was taken in n< the interest of the acensed. In the absence fL: of any testimony, we thought it well to offer wl his brother an opportunity to say a word in na his behalf. In reply. Mr. J. Campbell Mnr-iOi tin, protested that his brother was innocent; ni that he wasat his house, in bed and nrl,-.?p at i>r the hour, when the shooting was done. ' lio It is not our province to pronounce jndg-' i:[ ment as to whether either the evidenc- be- ^ ni fore the Jury or the statement of Mr. Martin re; are true or untrue. We give them publicity i vc for what they are worth, and will allow the;op reader to form his conclusion as l<? the guilt j ] or innocence of the accused. About one fact.! s., however, we think there can be no doubt? fci that a most fool and base deed lias been nc committed. The heart shrinks from the con- h:i tcmplationof the killing of any human being Sp In the manner by which the life of Caroline rci Farrow was taken, nnd the quiet inoffensive fei citizen must feel to a greater degree the doubt1 ,in as to his personal safety in a country where, w< such crimes occur. The public arc familiar 1 js vlth many of the facts concerning the va-: fC, rious crimes which have blackened the his-1 ni torv of Abbeville county within tiie last few years, bat we look in vain for one of greater atrocity, or one more likely to give our people *>. feeling of insecurity, even while around their own fireside?. Tiie muzzle of an unfriendly shot gun peer- j Wl through the cracks of one's house, is not i rf the nerve quieting order, and although the i a) Coventor of the State has seen fit, in his wis-! tli dom, to pass unnoticed, the crimeat Maddox's ; sa Mill, where Mr. Wm. Maridox was called to his ! C(j door la?t November in tlie night time and j ^ murdered, it is to be hoped that he will not be .Mow to see that the detectives and State o!fi- i cers shall do their whole duty in this matter^ H Coroner J. A. Shillitoso far, has discharged his duty fully, nnd he informs us that ho ' sa will to-day comply with the requirements of j A of tho law, and send to the Governor the j J" evidence taken at the inquest. II the Hover- | ir nor will lot neonle who. mnv he cunt mnlst- ! m ting cold blooded murder, know thai thepow- | er of tbeStAto would be brought against thorn i of It is fair to presume that crimes of this kliul! will be fewer. In no county have we hud a ! greater nuiuberof cold blooded murders than | ! In Abbeville. The Harmons, the Franklins. _ William Maddox, and now Carolin e Farrow? j ^ m? , I" nghj^T' - ^rr' their! at ??rn bouses. For years the Juries of Abbeville have been | -*3t?rcdlngly lenient towards peasons charged with crimes against the person, and we are ! , now reaping the evils of that sickly hcntlmen- J tality which shrinks from meeting out a just ' . punishment for crime. Is there not a limit. beyond which the forbearance of our people j j; will not go ? Is there not a time when they ^ ? will assert that crime shall stop? j ( i A' Ex-Got. Perry and the Lanrons Rail?,w road. i ct; We notice that this distinguished citizen of' tho St-nte in a letter to tlie Greenville Enter-i to prise and Mountaineer objects to tlic levying of, a ' a smati tax to grade the proposed new ro-\d KP, from I-aurens to Greenville u{?on the ground! ha that the stock of itself won Id not bo a protita-; ^ ble Investment, and argues that tire business J s?| of the road would not pay running expenses. Jo Jfe estimates the cost at $i\CW a mile,or " j OuO for the whole road. This Is a formidable1 *1) army of figures, aud will no doubt scare the i 01 timid. We do not propose to go iuto the mer- ? it* of the question at all, but we think \vc could correct an error into which the (iovern- <*>' or may fallen, and Into which his article may t ailsolead others. The railroad, in our opln- f,a jon, can be built for a cast to the citizens 'h much below $10,000 a mile. We will cite tho' Ciroeuwood and Augusta Railroad, which is , t>u now in process of construction. Various pa-' < ? trlotic citizens subscribed small amounts,and j JJJJ 3>ut a <orce to the work of grading the road, in When thnt money was exhausted I lie citizens a I Along the line taxed themselves two mills for < wo years?four mills in all. McCormick. the ,j(1 owner of the Porn Mine gave then the m city of Augusta pave the company S-5<>,,X>?. "(| "When these different amounts were spent the ru stock holders fc'.t warranted In Issuing bonds.. ar which met a ready ttleat figures reaching ^ nearly par. The road Is nearly all graded. The stone piers at the river arc up, the splen-| j did Iron bridge, costi up $30,009, lies in Augusta -waiting transportation, twenty miles of iron : rails have been bought and paid for, anil an j active force is now laying it down as fast t>s ( < possible. In sixty days the train* will be run- j < nlng acrce s the new bridge and into South, sa Carolina. Other bonds will be sold as soon as this work is finished, and another Impetus : )>| will be given to the work which will bring the in ?-ars from Augusta to Greenwood. All thisj'J1 will be accomplished by the time our citizens will have spentenougli of their own money to <l< tjulia a piunK ience iroui un.rnwuuuiv.iugusta. Ourpeoj'Ie carenothing for the amount m which they contributed to its building, or the J nouey which they paid in taxes for that pur- j j.ofe. The nine-tenths of the cost was con. Iributed by capitalists elsewhere. In the fu* | tore we will have nil the benefits and conve-; nienocs of a railroad, with the privilege of taxing the Railroad annually some fifty or |o elxty dollars a mile which will rettifu to us ar every year at least half the amount which wc contributed in taxes. The tax payers will ea net back in this way a pro.1t of perhaps fifty per cent., while it is true that those who con- Jj"' tributed of their personal means have to pc look for consequential advantages for their, be returns. Nowi we wish it to be distinctly understood Co that wc are not intermeddling with the mattcr of a railroad between Greenville and Lau- "jreus, but merely stating some facts, as we cou-1 an ceive tiicm. If practical common sense, com- of Mned with a determination that will notsue-' cunib to serious obstacles, is thrust into thej wock the Railroad can he built with a cost to j thccltizcns not exceeding one-fourth of the cnclnecrs' estimate, and wlun built tviil al- mi ways be subject to taxation. j i??l T? Justice at Aiken. !j)* The A!ken Journal and Jtcvlctc published an exceedingly Interesting account of the court !!n In Aikeu. There was one remarkable ca?e ; to' mentioned. That of the State against Lav ? rence Rcid. The Journal and Review says: , \y "The defendant In this case had no counsel.' Ho was a very hlaek nesrro. apparently a hair, S, idiot. His disgusting animal appearance sug- : gested ideas of the gorilla. The Judge *vas about to assign hlni counsel, when he an- iv. nouneed that tie wanted to plead guilty.
