TRAGEDY IN AMITE.
A YOUNG NEGRO MAN KILLS 4 wo.
MAN AND WOUNDS 4 MAN.
Murderer Escapes and is Still at
Large.

a deplorable tragedy occurred
Saturday afternoon near Dickey,
Amite county, the particulars Of
which as CLEANED by Gazette
reporter, are ms follows;
A few years ago ayoung negro
man by the name Of Taylor Cau.
sey married a daughter of Solo
mon and Rachel Williams, a wor-
thy old couple residing on the
plantation Of Mr.. @. Il. Cook
AT her death the woman gave her
only child to her mother. About
ten days ago Taylor married
again, this time selecting a
daughter Of Julia Broadway, and
he and his new wife began house
keeping on the farm Of MIR. James
Dickey.
On Saturday he called on old
Aunt Rachael for his child and
she refused to let him have it..
He then went to his brother-n in !
law, Amos Broadway, to borrow
q gun, saying he wished To shoot
q squirrel, A double barreled
shot gun was handed to him, and
he returned Immediately to the
home Of Solomon Williams, and
on entering the yard leveled the
gun and fired at Rachael, missing
her and killing his new mother
in-law, julia Broadway, who
chanced to be there on a visit.
Old Uncle Solomon Williams ran
out to arrest him and Taylor fired
the other barrel mt him, producing
a serious wound in the hip. He
then walked off with the gun in
hand and is still at large.
IL Is said he came TO Magnolia
and boarded the north bound
passenger train Saturday night.
II is said that he once worked at
saw mill at Norfield, Lincoln
county, and it is believed that he
is now in the neighborhood OF
that place.
Officers from Amite county are
in pursuit Of him, and it ID hoped
that he will soon be captured and
severely punished.

tied his mother and sister, that
influence was not cognizant OF
his services to claim his retention,

the regular corps. His % years
experience in tho pay corps has
been Of the utmost value to the
government during the late war

forts and knowledge is accredit-
cd the prompt and successful
payment Of troops in the entire

the Atlantic coast, and from the
Ohio River south to the Gulf. At
one time there were over $4,000
troops and fifty paymasters with
their clerks, as well as all funds

Gus Tampa payment early in
June, 1898. for which he was
commended in the annual report
of the Department Commander,
and also the first Chickamauga
Park payment in July, whore
over 65, 900 troops were assem-
bled. In February, 1899, he was
ordered from Atlanta, Ga, to
Cuba, remaining there until re-
called short Time ago. He is
enthusiastic about that country
and its possibilities, although ex-
pressing no desire to make it his
home. II is TO be hoped that his
valuable services may yet be rec
ognized by an appointment in

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

Editor Gazette: While the diff.
ferent questions are being dis.
cussed as to national state and
county affairs, | would like Co
call the attention Of the people Of
Pike county to the esta blishing
of public high school in the
county for the further advance
ment of the children after they
have finished in the public
schools. In 1898 the Legislature,
on the petition Of the people Of
jefferson county, enacted a law,
authorizing the Board of Super
visors of said county to establish
and equip public school for the
benefit of the advanced students
of the county, and authorizing
them to levy a tax of two mills to
run said school, and to appoint
one trustee from each supervise
or 8 district to manage and con-
troll said school.
Now it is well known that there
are but few in our county who
are able to send their children to
Columbus, Oxford CT Starkville,
as it is too costly, so would it not
be well for our people to consider
the matter, and petition the Leg
islature to allow us to establish
such school, as | believe it will
give more general satisfaction
than the levy Of tax TO run for
six months. Pike county has as
bright children as any county in
the state, and all they need is
the opportunity to make them
college graduates, and such a
school would cause harder work
in the common schools in order
to reach the high school.
We certainly have one of the
most suitable places for such Il
school that could be found, where
lit would be centrally located
where students would be away
from all outside bad influence.
which might lead them astray-
in one Of the healthiest places in
the county, where water is good,
and house and hot.l accommoda-
tions sufficient to accommodate
100 students at a small expense.

begin on except the erection Of a
suitable school building. | al

have no axe to grind in
this matter, except to provide for
the higher education Of the chill
dren of Pike county. would be
pleased to hear from others on
this subject, and if ! am on the
right track why not petition the
Legislature at its next meeting
to allow US to establish said
school. There is no use to de-
lay, as the Legislature only
meets every two years for the
transaction Of business, and II
the act Is passed at the next
meeting Of the Legislature it
would not be possible to start the
school under a year, why not
have Pike county in the front
row, and let US educate our chill
,dren at home? TAX PAYER.
