' "11-14W Charles Henry Barron, senior member of the law firm of Barron, Frier eon, McCants & Elliott, and one of the best known business men in South Carolina, died of a self-inflicted gun?shot wound about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his pond and farm about \ five miles out "$f Columbia on the Two Notch road. Mr. Barron flred one bullet from a .38 caliber revolver into his Jjead, death resulting instantly. J. H. Lee, caretaker at the pond, was near Mr. Barron at^the time of the fatal shot and gave the alarm. . When officers reached the scene Mr. ^ Barron had been dead for some time v vand his body was removed to Columi &la .as soon as an ambulance could I ' reach the pond. Business depression, V Inubility to pay his debts and a' dettirci turn V>{? v in numnrA ntnnpv I over to his creditors in an effort partially to meet his obligations are believed to have prompted Mr. Barron to end his life. Mr. Barron is said to have had life insurance in excess of * $100,000. Friends and business associates had not noticed any despondency about Mr. Barron's attitude and knowing his bouyant spirit were shocked at the act. He had been attending to business :'as usual and yesterday he was at hi* office jMtween 11 o'clock and **** ttOidndliig' to ifcrtn- hn si nuns as sociates, leaving the office about 11:30 o'clock' supposedly to go to the Loan & Exchange bank to attend to business, J. Nelson Frierson, member of the firm, said. Mr. Barron had a business engagement at~l o'clock and ^ his associates were trying to locate him when the news of his death reached the city. The "History of South Carolina" < Cutler) contains the following sketch of Mr. Barron's life. "Charles Henry Barron, senior member of the law firm of Barron, Frierson, McCants & Elliott of Columbia, is a son of the late Jacob Thomas Barron and has exemplified many of the distinguishing qualities which made his father one of South Carolina's most eminent lawyers. He yeas bom at Columbia, Septem ber 16, 1880, and received his early education in the graded schools of the city. On completing the ninth grade he entered the University of South Carolina and continued in the academic department for two years. For a year he was out of school on account of an attack of typhoid fever. /jSL He resumed Jjis studies in the law * schools ,of the university and was graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1902. Immediately upon his admission to the bar he began practice as a member of the Arm of Barron & Ray, composed of his father, Jacob T. Barron, Duncan C. Ray and Chas. H. Barron. Later Mr. Ray withdrew and the firm was Barron & Barron. W. H. Moore, then professor of law at the University of South Carolina, entered the partnership, the name being changed to Barron, Moore & Barron. In 1910, after the death of the two senior partners, the firm became Barron, McKay, Frierson fc Moffatt. The present association wa^ form ad a year ago.
