through the columns of The Herald
of this community, we thought we
would give a few dots from this COM
munity.
Services were held at Client S
Branch Baptist church Sunday, it be-
ing one of the regular appointments.
Prayer meeting is held at Salem
school house ever- Sunday night.
Rev. w. G. Britton, of Barnwell,
preached there Sunday night, and
Rev. Hopkins will preach there the
fifth Sunday night. Large crowds
attend every service.
Cane grinding is going on in this
community now, the cane crop being
good.
The farmers are hurrying to finish
gathering during this ideal weather.
We are sorry to report the death
of Mrs. Gum Eaves, which took place
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Dan Hartzog, on. last Thursday night.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at Georges Creek on Friday
afternoon. She leaves husband, two
daughters, Mrs. Hartzog, of this COM
munity, and Mrs. Glover, of John S
Island, and one son, of this communi-

The writer is glad to report that
Salem school is doing nicely. Thirty
one pupils are enrolled, and they
make a very good average attendance.
The patrons are very nice to their
teacher, and seem ever ready to be-
stow something on her in the way OF
kindness. That makes the heavy
work of a congested graded work
much lighter. Below we give the
names of the pupils:

BARNWELL MAN KILLED
e.. PEYTON BEST MURDERED ON
PRINCIPAL STREET.
Officers Lead Posses in Search for
Slayer-Many Arrests Made and
Men Committed to Jail.

Barnwell, December 3.-E. Peyton
Best, a we'll known merchant of Barn
we'll, was shot and almost instantly
killed here tonight. The shooting
was done on Wall street, only so
yards from the court house and about
100 yards from Mr.. Best's grocery
store. About 20 negroes have been
arrested and committed to the county
Jail, where they are held as suspects.
The fatal shot was evidently fired by
negro. Two shots were fred, only
one of which took effect. The bull
let entered the back and passed
through the body near the heart, the
wounded man dying in two minutes
after he was shot.
The shots were fired at 9:10
o'clock. Mr. Best had been to res
taurant for supper and was walking
up the street when two shots were
fired. Vince Dunbar and Arthur Har-
den were standing in the door of a
pool room, few yards away, and to-
ward them the wounded man stag
gered, exclaiming: ''Oh, Lord, boys,
I'm shot" AS he fell, Mr.. Harden
caught him and he was carried into
the pool room where he died in two
minutes.
Arrests Are Made.
Officers at once began hunt for
the man or men who fired the shots,
and soon between Is or 20 negroes
were arrested as suspects. The county
bloodhounds were secured but have
been unable to accomplish anything.
After the wholesale roundup of
suspects another negro was brought
in and placed in Jail. 1t is said that
against this negro strong circum-
stantial evidence is directed. A strong
guard was thrown around the jail.
Other arrests will probably follow.
1t is believed that the shots came
from a crowd of negroes standing be-
hind Mr.. Best. It is said that Mr..
Best had been jostled by negroes on
the streets and that trouble had then
been narrowly averted. A negro is
said to have drawn revolver and
three times attempted to fire at Mr..
Best, the weapon missing fire each
time.
Town is Excited.
The town of Barnwell is excited
over the affair, and officers and other
citizens are searching for clues to
establish the identity of the man who
fired the shot.
The coroner secured jury which
viewed the body, after which it was
removed to Mr.. Best's late home. The
inquest will be continued tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Best was sc years of age and
was a native of Barnwell He is sur
vived by his wife and five small chill
dren. Mrs. Best is prostrated by the
shock.
