three white farmers residing near
the Salley section in Aiken County,

night by Carlos Corbett, a white j
farmer, who claims that the men were
drunk and after wantonly burning g
away a new embankment in front of
his place, had cursed and abused him.
Corbett also fatally wounded Jones
Salley, one of the crowd.
Sheriff Howard and Coroner Bell of
Aiken, were called at 4 o'clock this
morning to the scene of the shooting,
which they found upon arriving had
taken place just across the Aiken
County Ieie in Orangeburg County.
Carlos Corbett, after the killing, got
into his automobile and drove hastily
to Columbia where he gave himself up
to the authorities. The story of the
killing as told by Sheriff Iloward is
as follows:
"Late last night a car filled with
men passed noisily by his home with
the muflier of the car wide open. Cor
bett ran to the door of his home to
see who the noisy people were but
could not discern then in the (lark. A
few minutes after the car passedi Cor
bett says he found a newly repaired
washout in front of his place on fire
and believed the men had purposely
set it ablaze. In half an hour the'ear
was heard returning up the roa(d to
ward Aiken an( Corhett steppel out
side of his home to deniand of the men
why they set his newly filled wash
out on fire. The men, it si alleged,
became abusive and finally cursed
Corbett who drew his gun killing each
of the nien in rapid succession.
"Jones Salley was seated in the car
sonic distance away and finding that
the first shot (lil not kill him, it is
alleged Corhett wen,1t up to the car and
shot him again in the heal and body.
A young boy in the crowd lay flat on
the ground an( played deadI ,this es
caling injury. The people of Salley
are greatly worked up over the affair.
The dead men were unarrie(l.
