Jones,Superintendent the -North 1 Carolina ltallroad. and Col. J. S. Morrison Chief Engineer, and C. S. Dwlght, Engineer of ? ? 1 v-.il.?.n liollwnd the ueorgia, Carolina mm .lunmiMi ? passed through Abbeville last week. They were on horseback, having ridden all along the line from Chester to this place'on a tour of inspection, carrying with them the surveyor's field notes and profiles 01 the road. They left Thursday morning along the line toward Savannah River, Atlanta being the objective point. These gentlemen said they had nothing to say which we could publish. They were only orrj that they had no Information which would bo of Interest to our people. They, however, expressed themselves as pleased with the route, except a part of the way in Union, where the route was rough. It has been suggested that an effort may be made to change' the proposed route in that particular locality. The first section, from Monroe to Chester, it Is believed, was much more expensive than woo nf flpol onnntvipil and It Is thought these gentlemen are making this trip to verify the surveyor's statements, or to ascertain wherein they are wrong. We do not know if this Journey lias any other significance than the natural inference \ ' that the company had not, up to the time of their starting, entirely abandoned the proposed road. It is .'air to suppose that the track layers will have finished their work to Chester this week. t?V * f IV. The Admission of New Counties. The law should define definitely how a new county may be formed out of an old county, or from parts of old oountles. There never will be a time when enterprising citizens will not seek to establish a Court House In their respective towns. In nrtlar that. thA will of f.hp nponlA mav be carried out,rather than the wishes of the poll- 1 tiolan, it would be well to enact a Constitutional amendment stating explicitly how the , change may be made. Wo have a good example In the Constitution of the United States, | In Which it is provided that "no new State , shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be j formed by the Junction of two or more States, ; or porta of States, without the consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress." Change the wording so as to read : "No/ew County shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other County ; nor any County be formed by the Junction of two or more Counties, or parts of Counties, without the oonsent of the people of the Counties ooncerned as well as of the Legislature." ? Near Ins: the Crisis. By reference to oar advertising columns It will be seen that due preparation Is being made for the election. Managers for State and Federal elections are announced. Tbe amendments to tbe State Constitution are . presented to tbe voters for tbeir consideration ?tbe obolce of officers having been made at t tbe primary elections. It will not be necessary to urge our people ; to go to tbe polls, and It will not be necessary for ua to indicate to tbem how they should vote. Let each and every voter cast the bal- ' lot which salts him best?as far as tbe consti- < tatlobal amendments are concerned. The ballot* for State, County and Federal offices are as a matter of course, for the Democratic nominees. The Republicans as yet have put forward no ticket. w AHnmnnmr T ma n 4 TT V T TTP llVff?l/AOViiiWl O l/JUlil uuiJ. People Comlnt and tioins?Kecordw of Event** In and About the City.

A Low Country \niue in Greenwood. Edgefield. Chronicle. When you read "Jervey & Co., Greenwood, 8. C.," you may set it down as an incontestable proof that fair Greenwood, in her wonderful prosperity, has called to her citizenship the very best elements from all sections of our State. Among the enterprising merchants of Greenwood's brilliant new era, our people may rest assured that none are more deserving of public patronage and confidence than Jervey & Co.. nor It S.

Glyniph, who was long a res lent of Hodges, and a reputable citizen < his county. "Mack" us he is familiarly cal id, is about thirty two years of age. Som ears ago he was bookkeeper for the we cnown firm of MeCrcery <fe Bro. In Coluinhi: md proved himself quite capable. Sine caving Columbia he has resided at Hode< mgaged in business with his father. About (*ear ago he removed to the Beacham plac tear Cokcsbury. and was conducting a farn John Glymph was about twenty-two years < ige and had no occupation. About live years ago Mack Glymph marrie Miss Jennie I'. Townsend, a bright young w< nan, quite attractive in person and manner ^he was of good family connections, being laughter of J. P. Townsend and granddaugl ^r of Rev. Joel Townsend of venerated men >ry among all Methodists in this State. H( maternal grandfather was the late Dr. W. ( Norwood who discovered the uses of vcrcUm nride. She was educated at an excellei Female College and stood high in her classe Some years ago she and Mack Glymph wei married quietly at the residence or .Mrs. kov lett, his sister, by a minister of tbeChristln jhurch. It Is said that when married Mil Jennie was engaged to be married to Job Slymph, and also to another excellent your man. Whether these things are tri or not it has been common tal that the married couple did not li> pleasantly. She liked "John's ways betti than Mack's ways," and they separated seve il times. Her fondness for John led to a difl culty between tho two brothers, a few weel ago, in which Mack was rather roughly bai lied. John lived at the Beacham place wil the couple, but her partiality for him becan so marked that it was annoying to Mac Friday afternoon, all the parties being i Hodges, an altercation arose between tl brothers and Mack requested John not come to his house again. Mack and his wi went home. John followed after themon foi having borrowed an extra pistol from a your man named Emerson. Soon after John reac 3d the house it seeins that tho altercation wi renewed and John was killed. Perhaps two hours intervened between n rival oi John and his death. A load had be( taken from Mack's gun by John, at the r quest of Mrs. Jennie Glymph. Discoverir this, Muck recovered tho cartridge Irom Joh and reloaded the gun. During two hours it Impossible to narrate all the incidents tin uqcured in the household ot Mack Glymp He wentoff for Trial Justice Moore to aid hi in ridding his homo of the presence of li brother. This oflicer of tho law was abser from home. Mack returned to his own liou and went to his room. Again he earnest requested John to leave the place. John r plied that Mrs. Glymph had asked him to r main and protect her and "he couldn't refu to protect a lady." So matters progress< until tho fatal shot was fired. Mack used double-barrel breech-loading shot gun. Se eral shot took effect. Ono entered John's lc templo and one penetrated his eyo enterir the brain, and death was instantaneous. Tl shot in the brain caused the muscles of John band, in which a British bull-dog pistol wi grasped, to contract. Ho fell face downwai In the passage way connecting tho kitchc and the main building. Mrs. Glymph wci hurriedly out of the back door, halted a m ment and then went to a neighbor's. Mack took his two children in his arms 1 a house near by, and then went to a tri; justice and surrendered himself. News i the killing spread rapidly and persons wi lived near by were soon on the spot. Nigl had fallen upon the scene and the house w; as silent as the grave. Lights were procure John lay as he had lallen. A pool of bloc surrounded his (.prostrate form. His rigl hand firmly grasped a pistol, his fluger o the trigger. Trial Justice Moore at once o ganized a jury of inquest, and evidence wt taken as to how the homicide occurred. I one of the pockets of the deceased anoth< loaded pistol wus found, together with memorandum book in which were varioi entries relating to Mrs. Glymph, and the le ter which appears in the evidence elsewlier But little testimony as to the actual kiilic could be obtained. The inquest concluded, the deceased wt buried on Saturday afternoon in the cemet ry at Hodges, Kev. Mr. Dantzler reading it funeral services. MeCreerv Glymph has employed Merer Eugene B. Garyand Frank Gary, and 1). i Magill to act as his attorneys. They demam ed a preliminary investigation which wj held by Trial Justice Moore at Cokesbury o Monday. Soineaddltional testimony to thi given at the inquest was taken. It was of tl same tenor, as will appear in another cc umu. Application for bail will be made I Judge Witherspoon at Anderson.

Glymph. sworn, says: I live in Abbeville county, S.C., about 01 mile from Cokesbury. This afternoon I wi at home. At the time of the shooting th evening I wns in the room opposite thedinir room in ray house. I heard tho shootir:(j. B fore the shooting I heard my husband, M Creery Glymph, and his brother, Johnnie ] Glymph, quarreling. I don't know that whi Johnnie said would be considered quarrelin Johnnie told Mack not to curse him nor tro ble him : hedidn't want to have any fuss wit him. My husband used very profane la euage to Johnnie, his brother. Thequarr was about.Johnnie coming here to my hon; to stay. Mack ordered him to leave tl house. Johnnie said he only come for h clothes and nothing else. This quarrel Wi about an hour before the shooting occurre *1 r? V. McUnn/1 M onlr Anlnrn^ Tfthnn ? X1BII 1111 UWWn?U| iunvm .'.uv.v. awav I told him (Mack) he had no right to c der Johnnleaway: thatho(Mack) had thren oned to kill me so often when he wasdrinl ing. I would like for Johnnie to stay as wc for protection as for company. And the Johnnie says I can't refuse to protect any lac If sheasksme. Mack told him then hewou go for Mr. Moore, the Trial Justice, besides 1 would bring twenty-five men and have hit takon away. A good deal more was said which I paid no attention. Mack did most the talking. All this talking occurred aboi one hour before the shooting. The next tin I saw Johnnie he was sitting Just Inside tl kitchen door. When I went out of dini'i room to opposite room to lay my baby dow as I passed my room door I saw Mack layir down on bed in my room. At that tin Johnnie was inside the kitchen door. Whi I was in the room opposite dining room heard the shot, and Mack, my husband, sa "Now, sec what I have done." lie says, to in tender tones. "I am going to kill you, to Jennie," I didn't see Mack,'but I though) heard him walk from dlnining room in my room. I then ran out Into the hall ar out the back door and as I got on tho bac steps, I halted and I saw Jobnnlo's feet stic ine out tho liitchen door, just as if ho hi fallen backwards and the chair had fall< backwards with him. It seemed to mc as the shot had carried him backwards and h feet were projecting over a chair. I dldti see Mack at all after the shooting, only liea: what he said. This shooting occurred to-di about sunset. Johnnie has been staying my house some time. Has been living wi us. Johnnie was nn orphan, and had i home. Ho was 21 years old. Mack and Job nie have had several disputes since Johnn has been living with us. I don't know cxa< ly the cause of tho trouble between Johnn and Mack. Sometimes they would quart about one thing, and sometimes about a other. I staid at the depot last night, at my sist< in-law, Mrs. Kowlett's. My husband, Mae was there a while Johnnie Glyniph sta also at Mm. Kowlett's last night. Johnn and Mack had some words at Mrs. Rowlet this morning. Mrs. Kowlett is the sister Mack and Johnnie. Hcfore leaving M: Kowlett's this evening Mack gave his pisl to Mrs. Kowlett, because I told him he hi threatened me so often I was afraid to ri home In the buggy with him with a pistel his pocket. Mack looked like; he felt tho feet of something intoxicating, lie was n drunk. Kefore leaving Mrs. Kowlett's Ma told Johnnie not to como out to our liou this evening. About two or three hours all Mack ami J got home Johnnie came. Mac Johunic and I usually come together in buggv. llefore I left Hodges I told Johnr to go*and get my father, Mr. Townsend, eomennd stay at our house to-night for 11 protection. Johnnio went for lather; didn't come; but Johnnie came, lbadtc Johnnie if father couldn't come, to coi himself. 1 have heard Maclc constant make threats about whom he was going kill, and when ho did do it he was going take the advantage?shoot tnem when th least expected It. I don't know why Ma threatened mc; did it usually while he w drinking. I don'l know why he objected Johnnie coming to our house. He said Joh nie didn't help to do anything. ;Johnr played his cornet all the time aud 1 the plat : :v- "V"- vf : v-| I know Mack,, ray husband, was jealous of gi k his brother Johnnie, and of ray father, too. ir ' Didn'Uike for me to bo with either of them, ti I don't know that Mack had any grounds to e( bo Jealous of Johnnie.

Mack Glymph called ;to " me to come out to him quick. I wept out. I {j ot saw Mr. Mack Glymph. and he said: "My t it God! my God! Capt. Moore, I have killed ,j s. my brother John Glymph." He was weep- t *e ing, and seemed to be in the agonies of dis- j v- tress. Hesald his troubles were so great he t n was going to kill himself. I took him into c 5K the house, fie got a drink of water, and he j, n asked me to ro home with him quick. I ( ir started with him and sent a boy tu get a horse 0 le to send for a doctor. Mack said he did not E k think it worth while to send for adoctor. He ( ;c was certain his brother was dead. h ?r While we were at m5'gate my son Win. J. [ r- Moore, ihe trial Justice, came up. He told j my son what'had happened, and we three j cs started down to.Mack's house and Mack said n n. he came up to give himself up to the trial jus- e ,h tice. He said he was not eoinn to try to e a avoid and trial at all. He said ho had shot E k. his brother John in self-defence?said ho it never hated anything so much in his life as ie the killing. He said he loved his brother, hut to no one knew tbo troubles he had. I live fe three lor four hundred yards from the v at Glymphs. v )g When my son William, Mack and I got h- down to the Glymph homo it was about dark. . lis I walked up to the back steps between the i dining room and the cook room.

I SAW i it no chair about him, When we arrived at 1 se the Glymph home, no one was at tho house J |y except John Robinson. He was oat in the ' e- yard. I know that Mack Glymph and his J e- wife didn't live pleasantlyltogethor last year. f se I am sure that Mack said he killed his broth- 1 jU er in self defense. He might have said for j a self protection. Mack said hefhad ordered v- John to go away Ifrom Shis house, and John j ift said bo had come to have that trouble settled, y ig and now was a cood time to settlo it.

I wont in the dining room and Mack , >ld mo to go get the gun and bring it back? .J e wanted it. Ho went to the gun and opened Y,j ,, and saw the load was out, and he asked mo , > get that load. I told Johnnie to give it to s im and Johnnie took it out of his vest pock- , t and gave It to htm. Mack went into the lo, - - iUn J"' iioiii and pul tho loaa 111 uiu nu? un buck. The last time I saw Johnnie last fl rUlay evening ho was Hitting In tho kitchen oor. Mack was in my room on tho bod with T, iRshoesoir. I was sitting In thedining room K, ifdinff the children. When Alack first laid fr, own I was sitting In thooutside dining room , oor. When my baby went to sleep I got up ' nd tipped into Johnnie's room to lay the **' aby down, went easily ho as not to wake the P, aby. l,| Ac I passed through dining room I saw . lack on bed in my room, and I left Johnnie fr' itting in the kitchen door?just Inside the ' oor. While I was laying down the baby (not lore than a second it seems to me) I heard lie shot. I heard Mack lymph say, Now ue what I h:ive done, and I think I heard ai im say, Now, Jennie, I am going to kill you, no. I ran cut the back hall door. I halted "1 n the steps and I saw Johnnie's feet projecttig out of the kitchen door. They were hang- c tig out Just as if they were projecting over a hair. I said Oh! Johnnie! Johnni*! I leard no reply. The shooting occurred just bout sundown last Friday. Cross-examined?I was engaged to John at he time 1 married my husband. I was at Irs. Rowlett's the night before the homicide. t had been to Greenwood that day in compaly with Mrs. Itowlett and John Glymph. I c iad refused to go the day bofore when my hus- tl and, Mack, wanted me to go. I purchased , 10 laudanum while there. I didn't offer to ix a drink for my husband the evening of ho homicide. I did not fix one tor him. I idn't toll him that I would fix n toddy so as " o disguise the taste. I don't remember that nnmniiiinlae. Ho refused to come * o dinner, bccause he said he was not wei- ~ ome, but finally came In. I do not know bat anybody purchased any laudanum at , ircenwood, but I saw Johnnie with a bottle ? if laudanum at Mrs. Powlett's. Thursday ? light, in consequence of reports Johnnie J; ?lympli heard about hlmseli and me, he J1,' tarted to drink laudanum from a bottle and knocked it away from his mouth. Mack , md complained to me about Johnnie's atten- , ions, but there was nothing to complain bout. I wrote a note to JohnnleGIympn the veiling of the homicide. (The note offered In ? vldence.)
