involved in the affair and at daylight
this morning they were lodged in the
county Jail, along with a score of
other negroes who had been arrested
as suspects shortly after the murder
and who are now being held as wit
nesses. There is apparently no doubt
as to the guilt Of Madison. Four Of
his companions, who were eye-wit-
nesses to the shooting, have testified
as to his guilt, although in some
minor details their stories were con-
fiicting.
knowing the intense feeling against
the accused, it was decided at a meet
ing of the bar this morning to order
an immediate trial, court now being
in session. The grand jury will be
summoned to meet here Monday, and
as H A. Simms who, with Thomas NJ.
Boulware, has been appointed to de-
fend the negroes, stated this after
noon that the usual three days would
be waived it is very probable that
the case will be called Immediately
after the finding Of the grand jury.

COLUMBIA WOMAN
LEADS DAUGHTERS
Miss Alice Earle is President Of State
L. D. c. To Meet at Y0rkvilIe.

Edgefeld, Dec 4.-This, the closing
day, has been a strenuous day with
the members of the 18th annual con-
vention of the United Daughters Of the
Confederacy. Both the morning and
afternoon sessions were Of longer du-
ration than usual and every moment
was crowded with some important
matter that could not be carried over
to the convention Of 1914.
Officers Are Chosen.
Throughout the day intense interest
has centred about the election of Off
GERS, the friends of some members
of the convention being constantly ac-
tive in promoting the interest. The
president appointed the following:
Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. Hunt, Miss Flem-
ing and Mrs. Mamie Tillman, the last
named being chairman. The voting
strength of the convention was 127,
the committee on credentials having
announced the member Of ballots to
which each chapter was entitled. After
the battle of ballots had ragged for
nearly two hours the following Off
GERS were declared elected: Miss Alice
Earle, Columbia, president; Mrs. j. L..
McWnirter, Jonesville, Piedmont divi-
sion, first vice president; Mrs. J. D.
Holstein, Edgefeld, Edisto district,
second vice president; Miss Mary Will
liams, YorkYille, Ridge district, fourth
vice president; Pee Dee district, fourth
vice president.
Early in the afternoon session an
opportunity was given for extending
invitations for the convention of 1914.
Invitations came quick and fast, sew
eral women rising simultaneously ap-
pealing for recognition of the presi-
dent. The first to present her claims
for next convention was Miss Will
liams, representing the Winnie Davis

COROXER'S JURY
Fer Nurder of E. P. Best at BarnWell
Negroes Face Charge.
PLACES BLAME

Barnwell, Dec 4-"That E. P.
Best came to his death from gunshot
wounds in the hands Of Scott Madison
and that Mitchell Story and Gilbert
Miller were accessories before and af-
ter the fact was the verdict of the
coroner's jury of inquest, which was
held mere this morning to investigate
last night murder. Fearing that the
prisoners would be lynched if allowed
to remain in the county jail, Sheriff
J. B. Morris and a deputy, with the
accused men left BarnWell about
II o'clock this morning in an
automobile. There has been some talk
here today, it is said, about a pro-
posed lynching bee, and hearing of
this, the governor has instructed the
captain of the local militia company
to assemble his men and do what is
necessary to preserve the peace" in
Barnwell
From the testimony brought out at
the inquest, the murder of Mr., Best
is one of the most cold-blooded that
has ever darkened the pages of the
criminal history OF Barnwell county.
There was absolutely no provocation
other than that Mr.. Best had pushed
one of the negroes out of his way as
he was leaving the restaurant where
he had been for supper. This negro,
Gilbert Miller, threw an empty bottle
at him and then ran. Mr.. Best turn
ed around to Scott Madison, who was
standing in front Of the restaurant,
and asked what he meant by hitting
him. Madison replied that ne did
not hit him-that the man that threw
the bottle had run off. Mr.. Best re-
piled that he was not hurt and, turn
ing around, started off up the street
in the direction of his store.
Shots Are Fired.
He had gone only a few steps and
was in the full glare of an electric
light when two shots were fired. One
took effect in his back, near the
heart, and passed entirely through the
body The other shot went wild. Mr..
Best staggered to the open door of a
pool room and fell, dying in the arms
of Arthur Harden.
The excitement last night was in
tense and there is no doubt but tnat
the negroes would have been lynched
had they been caught shortly after
the murder
The arrest of the accused men, all
of whom are negroes employed by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company
as section hands and who are
strangers in the county, followed an
all-nfgnt investigation and very
pretty piece of detective work on the
part of the sheriff and his assistants.
When it seemed that the search would !
prove fruitless, few clues were gath |
cred and, working on these, the ne
groes were routed from their shanty !,
cars during the night.
The Arrests.
A rigid examination disclosed the
fact that one or more Of them were

who wore them perhaps once or twice
in their entire lives at weddings and on
occasions OF great festivity. Gradually
they were put away and forgotten until

storehouse, brushed and placed upon the
lecture platform.
Chief among the costumes in the lect-
urcr's possession Is a collection Of various
sorts OF kokoshnks. Il type of headdress

and that still can be seen I'm Russia In
modified form. Some OF them are huge

richly inwrought embroidery. Others are
even smaller than the forage cap OF the
British soldier and are worn like a minute
fez on top of the head. But none OF
those that are now being shown has been
in use since 1859. except Tartar head
dress that was worn by one OF the part

in his honor. This headdress then deco

she danced with Alexander.
In addition TO the headdresses Mr.. de

and the rich embroidery upon them make
