WHITE One of County's Most Noble Characters Passes to the Great Beyond Lawrence A. White, aged 72 years, died suddenly at his home in the ! Egypt section of Lee county, Sunday just after noon, while sitting in a chair on the porch of his homo. Funeral services were held. Monday afternoon at St. John Methodist church, interment following in the church cemetery. It is estimated that fully a thousand people attended the funeral. Lawrence Anthony White was born April 21, 1854, only a short distance from the spot where he died. He was reared and spent practically all of his life in that neighborhood. He was the son of Thomas Britton White and Mury Green White, of Georgetown County, vvho were among the pioneer ettlera of this state. Mr. White's influence for good in his community will live, for years yet to come. His entire life was stamped with a most beautiful and noble Christian character. lie was one of the principle supports of the St. John Methodist church of which he was its Sunday school superintendent and teacher of the Bible class for more than forty years, lie identified himself with the church when quite a small boy. When about 24 years of age he was made a Master Mason, and held practically every office in the lodge, always using this ap one of the means of good and noble work in his community. Up to u few years ago Mr. White was a very extensive planter, giving up this activity with his gradual failing health, due to advanced age. At the funeral services, held in the church of which he had been a steward for many years, the large auditorium was filled to capacity, with many being unable to gain admission. The large number of flowers in all their beauty attested to the love and esteem in which this lovable man was held. . < Mr. White was twice married, first on April 8, 1878, to Miss Lizzie Corbet t, who died many years ago. He is survived by one son from this marriage W. A. White, of Lee County. On June 24, 1885, he was married to Miss Minnie McLeod, the wedding ceremony being performed by his brother, Rev. 1^. A. White. She preceded him the grave something over five years ago. JFrom this second marriage he is survived by the following children: L. H. White of Bishopville: E. D. White of Columbia; Mrs. Sadie Hogue of Camden; Thomas B. White of this county; Leroy A. White of Rembert; Janfes G. White .of Charlotte and Herbert B. White of Roanoke, Va.

Woman Peacemaker Killed Chester, May 2.?Sam King, who lives in the Smith section, while he is said to have been in an altercation this afternoon with Rufus Medlin, of College Park, Columbia, whipped out his revolver to fire at Medlin, it is alleged, and shot Mrs. Bessie Hick1 in Mobley, wife of David Mobley. The bullet entered the back of her head and she died instantly. The trouble occurred in Mr. Mobley's yard. Mrs. Mobley is said to have seen that serious trouble was impending and went into the yard and endeavored to get them to stop when she met her death. The Mobleys live about five miles from Chester on the Columbia highway. The exact cause of the trouble cannot be ascertained here tonigh:. King escaped, and Coroner J. Henry Gladden put Medlin under a $500 bond as a material witness. m stated that he disliked to do so, but in view of the fact that he lived in Richland and not in Chester county, it was necessary to require a bond. Medlin stated that he would arrange the bond. Sheriff James G. Howze and his deputies are making a vigilant search tonight all over this section of the j country and other nearby points for King. He remarked tonight that he has had a warrant for King for some time for voilation of the prohibition law. The sheriff said that King is supposed to live with his father-inlaw on Fishing Creek. He has a glass eye in the right socket. He is about thirty years of age and approximately 6 feet 10 inches high and i has light hair. There is said to have been a number of men in the yard when the trouble ensued and Medlin, it is said, told King not to "double team" on him. He is sr.id to have known King for five years and that this was the first trouble that he had ever had with him. The killing created a sensation all over this section and many people visited the scene of the tragedy this afternoon. Mrs. Mobley was forty-six years of age and was the mother of seven children. J The submarine S-51, which was sunk last September off the Connecticut coast, with the loss of 33 lives, after being rammed by the steamer City of Rome, has been relocated off Block Island. Another attempt is to be made to raise the submarine. Exonerated By Jury Greenwood, April 20.?A coroner's jury exonerated Deputy Sheriff .J. Calvin White in the killing early today of Henry Suddeth, well-known in criminal court circles and discribed 'by officers as a dangerous man, near his home in the lower part of the county today. Evidence at the inquest showed that White fired on Suddeth twice with a shot gun while the latter had a German Luger pointed directly at' him and the jury found that the officer shot in self defense. < Suddeth was about sixty-five years old, and came here about twenty years ago from the "Dark Corner" of Greenville County, or from the mountains of North Carolina, it is said. He was given a sentence of five years several years ago for killing a negro "just to see him jump," evidence at the inquest showed, but was paroled ?? before completing his term in the penitentiary. He also i8 said to have served a federal sentence for violation of thr prohibition law. Shot Niagara in a Barrel Niagara Falls, April 29.? The death of Bobby Leach, reported from Christ Church, New ZealaAd today removed one of the most picturesque figures from the ^Niagara Falls district. Leach defied death many times in sensational stunts at the falls. He successfully went over the whirlpool rapids in 1921 in a barrel, and later dropped with a parachute from the upper arch ibridge over the gorge and from an airplane over the falls, and performed -many -gther similar feats-" of daring. t English college athletic teams have no highly paid coaches, for athletics are entirely in the hands of the students there.

One is to forget quality and build cars for trading purposes. The cost of production is cut to thehone, so that dealers may offer you more than the market value for your used car.
