LEE HUGHES.
Sheriff league Returns with Sick Pris-
oner.

Sheriff D. E. league returned
from Giddipgs Friday with Lee
Hughes, who is under death penalty
for the murder of his wife, Char
lotte Hughes, near Chappell Hill
last January, and who was taken to
Lee county jail for safe keeping
while the new cages were being put
in the jail at this place.
Lee Hughes is about "a years OF
age, and when in good health would
not weigh over 1876 pounds, but
thin and emaciated as he is from a
sickness of two weeks duration with
fever he would not perhaps weigh
over 120 pounds and has the ap-
pearance of being mere stripping
of boy now.
On his way from the depot to the
jail Sheriff league stopped at the
drug store and had DIR. Lockett to
prescribe for him. Following him
to the jail was a courlous thropg, a
number of whom were admitted,
among them the reporter, who pro-
ceeded, as soon as he was safely en-
sconsed in his cell, to ascertain how
he felt in regard to his fate, since
the decision of the District court
has been affirmed by the higher
courts. He did not know even that
his case had been affirmed and
when so informed by the reporter
expressed surprise, and with a
slight, twitching of the lips, said,
81 don't know what they will do
with me, but that there is one con-
ISOLATION, whatever they do, God in
Heaven knows I am innocent of the
crime of killing my wife" He
seemed to take considerable interest
in the result of the appeal and
asked more about it after some one
had interrupted the conversation be-
tween him and the reporter.
He was lying down on one OF the
cell cots munching at lemon dur
ing most of the conversation and
said that he had mighty close call
during his confinement at Giddlngs,
and at one time thought he was go
ing to die. Some one asked him II
he was scared, to which he replied
"Oh no! no! not at all. j"
Unless Lee Hughes takes a turn
for the better he will die, if he re-
gains his health or even lives until
between 80 and 60 days from the
convening of the next term of the
District court in September, when
he will be sentenced, he will be-
hanged, so little difference there is
to him either way.

Negroes Greatly Alurmea.

A report was circulated here We'd
nesday morning to the effect that
the excursion train bearing the Dali
las excursionists had gone through
the Little river bridge and that
some twenty-five or thirty lives
were lost. The report created a
sensation among the many negroes
who had friends and relatives on
the train, and all day they were go
ing to the depot inquiring for par
ticulars, but nothing further was
heard during the day The report
was not credited by the white peo-
pie, most of whom believed that the
negro porter on the train that
started the report did it to counter
act the disappointment of those who
got left, thereby turning their disap-
pointmeDt into self congratulation
that they were mot in it.
