Fairfax, Dec 27. An entertainment-

a
who
lived near Jenny in the lower edge of
Barnwell county, was shot and mortally
wounded at the home of \V. 11. Mixson
By the latter’s daughter, Mrs. Susie
Mi/elio, about 7:J0 o'clock Wednesday
< veiling. Mr. Main died about three
hours after being shot.
The Mixson home is about six miles
from Fairfax, and Mam, who was tin-
last customer at the dispensary here
Wednesday afternoon, was on his way
home in a buggy, having with him a
negro named Calvin Johnson. When
thev got to the Mixson home they
drove the buggy into Mr Mixson's lot
Mrs. Mizelle, hearing them using pro-
I hne words and not knowing who they
Bfcre. called, “Who are you'.'''' The
.answer came from Main: “It makes no
difference who I am; I'm coming in
She warned him not to come any furth
er, telling him she would shoot him if
he did, and in the meantime 'called to
tier little brother to bring the gun.
Main did not heed the warning but
started to climb overthe fence between
the horse lot and the residence yard.
As he was almost ov er the fence about
2o feet from her she fired the gun
which was loaded with bird shot. The
load took effect in the left side of the
face at the base of the neck. Main fell
back across the fence, his feet being on
the inside of the yard, and remained in
that position until nearby neighbors
who heard the alarm came and re
moved him.
Mrs. Mizelle and her husband, Rob
ert Mizelle, and their child had come
from Kstill, where they live, to spend
the holidays with Mrs, Mizelle's pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. W II. Mixson.
Mrs. Mixson was sick in bed. Mr.
Mixson and Mr. Mizelle had gone to
pay a visit to the home of friends about
two miles away when Main'" and the
negro arrived at the Mixson home.
Magistrate, L. 11. Williams held an
nn|uest yesterday and the jury
dered a verdict that the deceased came
t i his death from the effect of a gun
shot wound inflicted by Mrs. Susie
Mizelle.
Main, who was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Mam, was about :r> years
old. He leaves a wife and six children.
He was an inoffensive man when sober
and his act is undoubtedly attributable
to his being unbalanced al tne time*, il
he had told Mrs. Mizelle who he was
she would not have hurt him, for she
knew him well. It is probable, how
ever, that he did not know where In-
