Grave Yards Need Attention.
The Civic League has done a
good service to the community in
the way of cleaning up and im
proving the appearance of the town
in general, but it still has much
yet to do. A yearly clean-up is
very good, but likes much of being
sufficient. If the clean-up could
be made monthly it would proba
bly meet the expectations and hopes
of all interested, once in threo
months, however, conli possibly
be made to answer for the present.
While we are at it we suggest that
the old cemeteries be not neglect
ed. They now present a most de
lapidated appearance, out of keep
ing with the general condition ot

relatives of the dead.

gro brought here a short time
ago for safe-keeping in the peni
tentiary t(Jpevent his being
lynched for the killing of Clerk
of Court W. B. Causey, of Hamp
ton, can prove the explanation he
has just given Superintendent
Griffith at the penitentiary as to
why he shot Mr. Causey, there
will not only be no lynching, but
he will be acquitted, and a mild
sensation will be uncovered in
that section of the state.
Hughes says that Mr. Causey
and his friend Jackson were out
"larking" the night of the kill
ing and came to his house and de
manding women. He says that
he told them that there were none
in the house and they asked him
about a mulatto, his stepdaugh
ter: He says he told them that
she had gone away, whereupon
they denounced him as a liar and
broke into his house and searched
it thoroughly, jumping on him
outside afterward and., beating
him. He says he was catching
thunder when he pulled his re
volver and began to shoot, wound
ing both men. Hughes says he
did not want to kill Mr. Gausey
but that he did seek the life of
his friend.
The Hampton sheriff who was
here recently told Captain Grif
fith that he knew nothing- of the
causes leading up to the shooting-.
The newspaper accounts that
have been sent out from Hamp
ton give the appearance of being 1
carefully guarded. Hughes had ;
just finished serving a term in the t
penitentiary for killing a negro. !
