The Hughes Tragedy.

Memories of the frightful tragedy at
Trenton, Edgefeld county, about year
ago, when the entire family of Mr.. B. B.
lost their lives in the destruction OF their
home by fre-a mystery which has never
been solved, despite the fact that the idea
of murder and suicide on the part OF Mr..
Hughes was vigorously advanced-is
brought back to memory by case on the
docket of the county court to be tried at
the fall term. The in question is that
of Georgia Asbill against the administra-
tors of the Hughes estate, Messrs. S. I.
Hughes and G. ". Wise.
The complaint in the suit alleges that
Mr.. Hughes occupied the house under a
lease or contract, one of the conditions be.
ing that the residence at the terminationof of
the lease was to be returned to the owner
in as good condition as when rented; that
Mr.. Hughes preached the contract, having
himself burnt the house, his act having
caused the total destruction of the house.
Judgment against his estate is demanded
to the amount of its value.-Johnston

If Senator Tillman is not trying to
revive factional feeling in this State, then
we must confess We dent known what
he is after.
This newspaper does not favor prohib'
ition, but it makes US very ltired when
these dispensary papers have SO much to
say about blind tigers in Gaffney and
other places which have no dispensary.
Suppose few men are arrested for SELL
ing liquor in dry towns, what OF that!
There are laws against stealing, murder,
and number of other crimes, yet they
are violated every day. Because whiskey
is sold illegally is no argument against
prohibition, for no one expects to see any
law on the statute books stand inviolate.
The very fact that there are laws provid-
ing punishment for such acts is conclu-
sive proof that people will break them.
Nobody ever heard Of a law which was
not broken.
IN
Senator Tillman is having a good deal
to say in his speeches as to Governor
Heyward's duty. Things are getting too
hot for the Senator, and he is trying to
turn attention to Hayward. This is an
old trick of Tillman's, but it will not
work: The governor has Dothing to do
with the dispensary investigation, and it
is no part of his business to dip in. But
If Tillman can get public attention turned
from him to what he is pleased to call
Heyward's lack of nerve, it would be ex'
actly what he is after, for he wants tolay
the blame on the governor. Tillman said
he would make public in his Marion
speech the facts upon which Hayward
should remove the board, but of course
he didn't do it. And he will not, either.
