LAWRENCE A. 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.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. W. L. Parker, pastor of
St. John church, who was assisted by
the following ministers: Rev. Peter
Stokes, presiding elder of Sumter district;
Rev. J. P. Attaway' of Appleton;
Rev. Cook of. Rembert; Rev. J.
Walter Kenney of Rembert and Rev.
M. L. Banks of Bishopville.

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.

You have heard fc- thjty CtTB
all good automobiles?
THE impression that all cars sold at
approximately the same price give
approximately the same results, never
was less true than today.
There are now two ways of building motor
cars. 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.
Th* Buick way is to build for quality's
sake?to give owners a better new car
full of valued?with every modern feature.
Compare Buiqk'design to that of other
cars of the same or higher list price, and
fl* Buick superiority firmly in your
mend, before you spend your money;
