EDITORIAL NOTES.
It is said that the A. A ('. Hailroad
will be ready for ties and rails by the
first of April next.
Wo would advise our farmers to
read carefully the communication
from the pen of our much esteemed
friend J. T. Smith.
The Gibson Enterprise descar (h ns
follows on the terrapin questiofi: “A
bill for the protection of terrapins has
become a law in Georgia. \\ odo
not know how the bill is worded, and
’therefore would like to know whether
the highland variety of terrapins is
;also protected by law.”
We echo a hearty amen to the foi
llowing from the Gibson Enterprise:
•“The public school system of Georgia
meeds remodeling. The Legislator
•who will frame a bill ami have it
passed through the House and the
.•Senate, which will permanently bene- i
■fit 'the educational interests of the ■
'.State, will win for himself fame and
esteem. Let us have longer terms of:
<free school or none at all. ”

SOME INTERESTING POINTS.
[Atlanta Constitution.]
Eiigefiei.p, ,S. C, September 15.
"Various attempts have been made to .
arrange a bond for Jones, the triple
murderer, who is now confined in
Edgefield, S. C. jail, but up to this
time without success. The bond was
fixed at SIO,OOO, the fullest extent, of
the law, and in addition the bonds
uuen are required to qualify in twice
the sum of their liability, over and
above the homestead exemption. The
conditions are so onerous that it is
doubtful whether ho will bo able to
make up the amount or not, although
it is surprising how many citizens of
the county sympathize with Jones,
■especially in view of the peculiarly re
volting details of (he crime. The cir
cumstances are briefly ns follows:
Jones became involved in n quarrel
about some land with old man Press
ley ami bis two sons ami killed all
three. The fight must have resembled
the fight between the last remaining
brother of the Hortii a al the Guratii
since the three Pressleys attacked
Jones und ho
KILLED THEM ONI AFTEH ANOTUE.It
while retreating. Jones is a < leorgian
by birth ami married oldman Pre sleys
grand daughter. Having great cut iosity
to s» o the man who killed three mon
single handed at one time. the
(’•onstitution sought an interview,
which was granted. Entering bis cell
in the jail 1 was introduced to a
plainly but neatly dressed man, a lit- ;
tie above the medium height, hair
sprinkled with gray, with an oj en
counte: mice ami clear, giay eyes ttiat
looked you square in the face with, ut
tliuching. The occasion of the visit
wus stated and the conversation open
ed ns follows:
"Mr. Jones, is there anything you
would like to say for publication
‘ Well, sir, 1 have been so much
misrepresented by the press that 1
have thought several times 1 would
like to make a public statement, but
my lawyer has advised me to keep
<]iii«*t. I done nothing that any other
man wouldn't have done, and never
has a man been more persecuted.”
"If you have no objection will you
state the origin of the trouble '
"I married old Mr. Piously's grand
daughter. The family has always
been very poor and I have dent a
great deal to help them. Charley
I’resslv and I bought a piece of land
together. My share was fifty acres. I
paid all of the first payment and
$lO 50 over. The Preasly s failed on
the second and third payments. I
could have retained the entile tract
and rented it for sufficient to pay the
interest on the balance owing, but al- j
lowed it to be f>a b it: d with th mi- j
derstnnding that I should retain tny
part, the fifty acres I had paid for.—
Ohl man Pr> sJy claimed the crop on
mv part ami ordered me to leave. I
deelined to do this but offered to
leave the matter to the nbitiation of
neighbors. This pr .position was re
jected and he threatened to i.ill me if
1 didn't leave. My leply was, ‘Grand
pa, if nothing but a row will do you,
don't come yours If, you are for old,
but send your sons.' ”
STATEMENT IN cot !(T.
Jones’ statement in couit was sub
stantially ns follows: The morning
after the difficulty, about 12 o’clock,
he went oil a litt.e distance to hire n
hand lodo some work, an 1 went by
the house to get his gun xml dog.—
Before leaching the negro he intend
ed biting he came across old man
Pressly and his two s >ns plowing up
his (Jones') crop. The quarrel was
renewed and the Presslys attack) 1
him with knives ami stones. One of
the boys pressed him so closely with
a knife that when Jones tired, the en
tire load and wadding went into him,
killing him instantly . Jones then ran
about fifty yards, when he turned and
stabbed the other son also.
Jones then started toward his
house, when he was intercepted by
the old man with a pistol. Jones
■ warned him not to come any closer,
but he persisted, and Jones tired, kill
ing him. Jones then walked into the
I village and surrendered himself to the
sheriff.
Hon. W. T (buy was retained for
the defense. The first tiial resulted
in a mistrial.
In the second, the cases of the two
young men were discharged under
the habeas corpus act, trial not hav
ing been had in the time prescribed
by law after the demand was filed.
In the case of old man, a. verdict of
manslaughter rendered. The case has
been taken to the. Supreme Court.
To the question whether or not he
would bo able to give the bond, he
replied, that the amount was so gre.it
and thu condition so onerous he fear
ed ho would not. He refused to give
the names of those he expected to go
I on his bond, on the ground that he
‘ feared they would be intimidated. He
stated in conclusion that lie regretted
the occurrence exceedingly, yet he
I was satisfied th it anybody else would
