died about midnight at- the-Baptist
hospital.
The mortal injury was sustained,
•according to Mrs. Katherine Salley,
mother of Edwin, when young Salley
tried to pull out the magazine of
his 2f> caliber pistol. The pistol dis-.
charged, she said, while the young
man had it in his lap, awl the bullet
entered the left side of Best, who was
sitting on a lounge by Salley, and'
passed through his body.
Young Best was carried to the Bap
tist hospital in an ambulance soon
after the tragedy. He was placed on
the operating^ table immediately and
everything was done to save his life.
The bullet, it was found, injure^ the

Young Salley was not in any condi
tion to be interviewed last night .but
h's mother related the details as they
had been told to her by him. William
Best and"several other young boys
were in Edwin Salley’s room looking
at some photographs taken by Salley

He said that in removing the magazine
to inspect the pistol, the weapon ac
cidently “went off.”
An alarm was given as soon as the

Blackvrlle, April 4.—One of the
largest crowds that ever assembled m
Blackv.ille and representing five South
Carolina counties, was here Tuesday
night to witness the first appearance
of the Women Ku Klux Klan in pa
rade and open air naturalization in
South Carolina.
The parade was spectacular ' and
thrilling, being headed by a ' larger
iecorated automobile bearing the
“Stars and Stripes” and a five-foot
electric cross on the front of the car.
With a very large number of wo
men clad in klan attire composing the
ine of march and the city electric
lights extinguished for the special oc
casion, the brilliant illumination from
the huge electric cross added color
and luster to the scene.
A tense hush ^silence seemed to
grip the crowd as the marchers ap
proached Main Street and continued
until they diverted their course and
wended their way to the school hpuae
square where they held an open a
naturalization service under a flaming
fiery cross, initiating a goodly number
of aliens into the order.

County Agent Boylston has. the fo 1 -
lowing to say in reference to the
schedule of spraying for. control of
worms and brown rot-in peaches, etc.:
“It will not be long now before it

the peach trees should be r'prayel
with the following mixture: 1 ,b. of

Dunbarton, April 8.—The tent for
the Chautauqua will probably be
placed on Mulberry street in front of
Mr. H. H. King’s residence This loca
tion is ideal as it has a natural in
cline with no obstructions. It is al
so close to the.electric light line. The
committee is airanging to have a
•nursery for the convenience of those
who have children and who would not
e able to go unless they could feel
that these children woi#d be looked
after by. some mature person. Mr.
King has consented for the committee
to use his home for this purpose.
Several colored women will be placed
in charge of the kiddies so that the
parents may feel safe while attend
ing the shows.
The program for the Chautauqua
will be as follow’s: First day: A con
cert by the Plymouth Male Quartet and
lecture by Dr. Harry Hibschman in
the afternoon; that night Dr. Hibsch
man wjll again lecture and the same
quartette will conclude the perfor
mance. Second Day: The Sprague
^ers in a one-act comedy and a
lecturCsby Dr. Daniel H. Martin; that
night Dr. Martin vvi'4 lecture and the
Sprague players will give play “Rip
Van Winkle.” A^iird Day: A con
cert by the Clark Nyvelty Company
and a lecture by Dr. 'Albert Marion
Hyde ,in the afternoon, arutxat night
another lecture by Dr. Hyde and, con
cert by Clarke Novelty Compa
This program is well balanced and the
people in thi- section will do well in
buying a season ticket and taking in
every one of the performances.

The people of Dunbarton are pleas
ed to see that the town is working the

BUSINESS SECTION OF BARN-,
WELL THREATENED.
Considerable Damage Done to Stock
of the J. A. Porter Company
Sunday Night. *
- ^ ^
'••-•.J*.' %
The business district of Barnwell
was seriously threatened for a short
time Sunday night by fire which was
discovered in the mercantile estab
lishment of the J. A. Porter Company
shortly after ten o’clock. The blaze
originated in the grocery department
In the *rear of the store and is thought
to have been started by rats and
matches or defective wiring. Barn
well’s crack volunteer fire-fighters
responded promptly to the alarm and
in a short time had the fire under
control. The fire had evidently been
smouldering for some time, as the
1 large plate glass windows in the front
of the store were quite hot and one
by the ht ! at. The greater part of the
damage to the large stock of goods
was done by smoke and water. While
no estimate has been placed on the
amount of damage suffered, ft will
probably amount to several thousand
dollars, at least partially tovered by
insurance. 'J
The store of the J. A. Porter Com
pany is located on Main Street, right
in the heart of the main business part
of the city, ^nd had the’ fire occurred
later in the night it is probable that
Barnwell would have suffered a dis
astrous conflagration, as a stiff wind
was blowing Sunday night. The fire
department is to be congratulated for
its usual efficient work in subduing
the blaze. • - —
The stock of goods of the Sparks
Five and Ten Cent Store, adjoining
the Porter building, was slightly dam
aged by smoke.
