Hayes tract at this place, being auctioned off by the McLaurin Mills Realty Company, of Bennettsville. I' Quite a good sized crowd was present,! among whom were a number of ladies. * The Dew place was the first put up and brought a good price. The 1 greater part of the day was con- ' sumed in the sale of the Hayes tract, 1 which was cut up into small farms ' and town lots. This body of land did not bring a price satisfactory to the 1 owner and the sale did not stand. Doubtless the gloomy outlook for cotton will cause a considerable 1 shrinkage, at least for the present, 1 in land values The appearance of the boll weevil 1 also had its effect. This pest has al- 1 ready made its appearance in Dillon 1 county. It has been said, however, ' that he is not so bad on sand land 1 as on stiff land. If that be true 1 those who own sandy lands had bet- ' ter hold on to them.

Tom c< Turner's case really was ended yester- w day when Judge Prince ordered the tl jury to bring in a verdict in the A old man's favor. I" The court room has been crowded all the week and for the first time ol ever noted in a Marion court the di white people literally crowded the m colored people out of court. On the sc first day of the trial Judge Prince oi caused the court room doors to bejcc closed, so great was the crowding and jse confusion. Thursday the weight of;G the people mashed one of the posts w of the courthouse, caused a heavy sf timber stringer to crack and begin to c< break. This case, which has attracted ci State-wide attention, came on for trial p< Wednesday morning and until Judge al Prince began his charge to the jury pi parly today, Attorneys Stackhouse and ( Woods for the defense and Solicitor W liasque, assisted Dy Attorney nuaara, | of the North Carolina bar, carried on i. fierce legal battle. Every particle of evidence was fought over and every w legal technicality was taken advan-;Gi tage of. Jth History of Case i C< It is recalled that Edwin White, a a quiet, harmless citizen, left his home'at one afternoon in March to go to a jo neighbor who had gone on before in Ihe erecting of a tombstone over the th grave of a loved one. The road heifr followed as he walked away from;") home curves within sight of the house j eland his sister watching him as he di turned that curve was the last person cc to see him except the Turners until his body was discovered nine weeks hi later by a party of fishermen in Little in I'ee Dee river. ! yt Two negroes, who admitted that pi they had written certain threatening ie letters to Mr. White, had been arrest- st :-d under suspicion and placed in jail ui long before the body was found. Feel- hi ing in the community ran very high ind strong against them andpajticularly after the body was found in the river, and it became known that ttvej hody had been wrapped with wire and in i?low irons fastened thereon. 01 Sheriff Itowell and his deputy, Fur- in nan Edwards, continued to work on di thp rasp anH if heine alleged that ni :here had been a small amount of la rouble between Mack Turner and Ed- ai win White, they began a close investi- rti Ration at the Turner home. One day er Deputy Edwards found a broken plow ai [joint which matched with the irons sf found on the dead body fitted perfect- pi Iv. The Turners were then placed in ui jail. At first they stoutly denied any bi connection with the killing but finally 01 Archie Turner, it is said, admitted the killing but claimed that it was an accident. Eater Mack Turner admitted, it is said, that Archie killed White but varied the story about the dis- ^ position of the dead body. Archie j claimed that he alone disposed of it, while Mack claimed that he helped Archie. Later all of them, it is said, a(" agreed that Archie killed White by ? accident and that his brother Mack lr r.d his father Tom helued him dis- . pose of the body. Tiirvw Hotly in Itiver It was Archie and Tom who cominitled the body to the deep water in u it cove oi Little Pee Dee river, according to the tale told in court. rt Archie Turner was the only defend- 111 ant to take the stand in court and . lie made a most remarkable witness. 111 He remained lirm and cool under the heavy tire of questions and not 'J: jnce did he waver or quiver. His was a most remarkable example of physical nerve. A mote nimble-wit- J ted man never faced a volley of questions with clearer or more rapid answers. The attorneys for the defense 0 have tiled a notice of appeal for a lo new trial. The people feel, it is believed, that this is really the end of the Edwin White murder case mys-| tery. o expkesses than k.s fok sentence to ee hanoi. h Washington, Oct. 8. ?

South Carolina's total population, as announced from Washington Wednesday by the census bureau, is 1,68:1,662, as against 1,515,400 in 1910 should be extremely gratifying on the whole to the people of the State. This is a gross increase of 168.262. The basis of representation now is 211,000 per representative. Under the ?ld time apportionment South Carolina would need a few additional! thousands for an extra representative,! as eight congressmen would require 1,688,000, which is 4,338 above the total population of 1.683.662. Thus, while the stale will not gain an additional congressman, the increase would allow a congressman tor each 235,000 population and the reapportionment figures will not likely exceed this figure. The increase in population for 1 South Carolina is placed 11.1 per cent, which is the lowest figure in half a century. The total population as given is 1,683,663, an increase of 168,262. Going back half a century, the increase in 1870 was given as only three-tenths of 1 per cent over 1860. The south had been drained by the ravages of the Confederate war and only 1,898 more people were then I living in South Carolina than in 1860. The total population in 1870 was 705,606. In 1880 a large increase was registered, the percentage in that census being 41.1, with a total population of 995,577. me tun census 01 isuu gave South Carolina a populaiion of 1,151,149, or an increase of 15.6 per cent. The census of 1900 gave the state a population of 1,340,316, or an increase of 16.4 per cent. o ? BELL-McLAlHIN Invitations have been received in1 Dillon to the marriage of Miss Sadie! Louise Bell, of Hock Hill, to Mr. Sam' McLaurin. The happy event will be solemnized at the honie of the bride in Hock Hill, S.
