William* in JaiL Henry Hogg and J. Velpo Hogg, two ■brothers, are dead, and J. W. Hogg, a cousin is in the Barnwell county jail with a gunshot wound in his shoulder neck and head, as the result of a shoot ing affray on the streets of Kline about 9 o’clock Monday evening. The wound ed man and W. A. Williams are accused of the murder of the t wo brothers. A ' warrant was sworn out for Williams Tuesday morning, following the finding of a verdict by the coroner’s jury of inquesVand it was thought Tuesday afternoon that he would surrender him self to the sheriff without any trouble. Upon the receipt of a telegram from Kline late Monday night to the effect that two men had been killed and another wounded and asking that the sheriff ahd coroner come immediately to the scene of the crime, a party con sisting of Sheriff J. B Morris, a repre sentative of The People and two other gentlemen left Barnwell hurriedly in an automobile. Reaching Kline about i2 o’clock it was found that Henry and J. V’. Hogg were dead and a cousin, “Jim” Hogg, was on his way to the • aunty aeat to surrender himself to the uthorities. The excitment of the af fair had died down, but even then it was not easy to get a coherent story of the double homicide.

The alleged slayer is the son of the late Mr. Bull Hogg, who was killed at Kline several years ago. He is engaged in farming. Jim Hogg reached Barnwell about three o’clock Tuesday morning and im mediately surrendered himself to the authorities. His wounds are not serious, the gun having been fired at too great a distance for the shot, which were small, to penetrate deeply. When seen by a representative of The People Tuesday morning he was ap parently suffering very little discom fort. He refused, however, to make a statement for publication until he had consulted with his attorney, C. A. Best, iEsq. # BARNWELL. S. C.

To School Patrons: * Another school session is before us. Several questions of interest and value demand our attention. Modern, sani tary, comfortable and convenient build ings with sufficieht equipment are commanding consideration. Trustees all over the county are looking for ef ficient teachers. School finances, a very essential part of any plant, are being supplemented in order to length en the school term and to better pay deserving teachers. All these are mat ters of vital importance in our school system. But there is no question of greater moment to school friends than that of putting the boys and girls in school and keeping them there. According to the Annual Report from my office to the State Superintendent of F'ducation, filed on September 1st., the enrollment of the pupils in the white schools in the county numbered 2497, or a gain of 173 over the enroll ment for the 1911-1912 session. The av- erageattendance in the town and county schools for the white children totaled HiK7 These figures will show that only *17 jier cent of the pupils enrolled are actually in attendance daily at school. Or in other worda, 33 per cent of the scholars enrolled stay away from the school*, or they take turns m staying away, so that the average is one-third atMwnt all the time This would indi cate that a considerable part cf the tax payer* money used for the support of our school* is wasted The percentage of absentees according to my report for last tea * m 1112 , was H» In every other resjvert the reports for the two terms show that our schools are mak ing progress The fact that so many children are e* rolled so very late in the aaasoo m poo- SibJy responsible for the tos the cohiana for average atts The ea rolInse*t number* are li during the y ear -end the moothe of January.

John Gabriel Guignard, Con federate soldier and member of the famous “Wallace House,” died at his home in Lexington county, near Co lumbia, Thursday morning at the age of 81 years.

The funeral services were held at his home Saturday and the body laid to rest in Trinity churchyard, Columbia. Capt. Guignard attended the re union of the survivors of the Wallace House, which was heljl at Barnwell last Fall under the auspices of the Barnwell County Fair Association, and he is the second of the survivors to answer the last call since the reunion, Major John W. Holmes, of Barnwell, being the first. „ Concwrns Suffer Narrow Escape From Destruction. Allendale, Sept. 13.—Two of the four cotton ginneries of this town had narrow escapes from destruction by fire this week, that of J. H. Hewlett and J. H. C. All, but owing to timely detection and prompt action both were put out before much damage was done. The four ginneries are running full time and are turning out about 160 bales a day. Crops are generally very good and the expectation is for a pros perous season. There is a disposition among many of the farmers to sell at the prevailing good prices. MAGISTRATE TOBIN TO RESIGN.

Deason has an adver tisement in this issue of The People that should be of interest to grown-ups and little folks alike. He is going to give away a limited number of gold and silver fish with cash purchases of Rex- all preparations. Dr. Deason made a similar announcement last Spring, but the floods in the West delayed the shipments so long that it was impossi ble to get them before the hot weather set in and the shipping season closed.
