EDWIN WHITE WAS
BRUTALLY MUHDERED
Two Negroes Found Guilty by
Marion County Jury at
Recent Term
HISTORY OF CASE
AT FIRST MYSTERY,
I
Great Crowd Present at Marion
Court to Hear Trial
of Case.
1 A I 1 ~ ,
One of the most oruiai muruer*
that ever took place in this soction!
of the State happened in Marion
county last March when Edwin \
White, a respectable white farmer,
was killed, as proven by the finding
of his body by some fishermen
in Little Pee Dee river.
Last week two negroes. Mack Tuiner
and Archie Turner, was convict-1
ed of this murder by the verdict of
the Marion county jury. It appears!
that they might have been hanged
but the jury saw lit to recommend
them to the mercy of the coui*t,
which reduced their punishment to j
imprisonment for life. Another ne- [
gro bv the nsinv* of Tom Tuiuner |
was indicted with the other two,
but there was no evidence against
him :*nd a verdict of not guilty
was directed by the judge in his
favor.
One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed a trial was present at the
Marion county courthouse while this
case was being tried. On Thursday
of that week the great mass of people
caused one of the posts at the
courthouse to break and the heavy
timber cracked and began to break.
This was discovered before any damage
or loss of lives occurred.
History of Case.
It is recalled that Edwin White,
a quiet, harmless citizen, left lii>
home one afternoon in March to go
to a neighbor who had gone on befor
in the election of a tombstone
over the grave of a loved one. The
road he followed as he walked awey
from home curves within sight of
the house and his sister, w.itrhinir
him as he turned the curve, was
the last person to see him except
the Turner's until his body was discovered
nine weeks later by a paity
of fishermen in Little Pee I>ee river.
Two negroes, who admitted that j
they had written certain trreatening
letters to Mr. White, had been ar-1
rested under' suspicion and placed in
i'ail long before the body was found.,
Reeling in th.^ community ran very j
high and strong against them and i
particularly after his body was
found in the river, and it became
known that the body had been
wrapped with wire and plow irons
fastened thereon.
Sheriff Rowell and his deputy,
Furman Edwards, continued to work
on the case and it being all-aged
that there had been a small amount i
of trouble between Mack Turner an I
Edwin White, they began a close
investigation at tiie Turner home.
One day Deputy Edwards found a j
broken plow point which matched i
with the iions found on the dead
body fitted perfectly. The Turner's j
were then placed in jail. At first
they stoutly denied any connection
with the killing but finally Archie
Turner, it is said, admitted the killing
but claimed that it was an accident.
Later Mack Turner admitted,
it is said, that Archie killed j
White, but varied the story about
the disposition of the dead body.
A1 -?hip f'ljlitVW'd t.hnt ho nl/inn /liu_
posed of it, while Mack claimed that
he had helped Archie. loiter all of
them, it i* said, agreed that Archie
killed White by accident and that
his* brother Mack and his father
Tom helped him dispose of the body.
Threw Body in River.
It was Archie and Tom who committed
the body to the deep water
in a cove of Little Pee Dec river,
according to the tale told in court.
Archie Turner was the only defendant
to take the stand in court and
he made a most remarkable witness.
He remained firm and cool uiuler
the heavy fire of questions and not
once did he waver or quiwer. H<s
was a most remarkable example of
physical nerve. A more nimbk-witted
man never faced a volley of
question with clearer or more rapid
answers. The attorneys for the d>
%iide have filed a notice of app a?
for a new trial. The people feel,
it is believed, tl.at tlm is really t ie
end of the Edwin White murder
case mystery.

Mr. Dodson Warns Against Uso
of Treacherous, Dangerous j
Calomel.
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel actc like dynamite on a slujr
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it. causing cramping and nausea. ~
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't stavt
> our liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if

DISABLED VETERANS
~ I

The American Red Cross is carrying
on a wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving ,
treatment in United States Public /!
Health hospitals, and those being train- '
ed through agencies of the Federal
Hoard for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldier's discharge
the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Homo
Service Section In his own community.
The Red Cross maintains a convalescent
house at all of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
In the wards are also furnished, with
j occasional excursions when convalescence
comes.
Great service lies been rendered by
; tlie Red Cross In mental cases In Identifying
those who have app'earetl In
state hospitals for the insane, and helping
them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War P.isk Insurance.
In the Federal Board's various district
offices the Red Cross worker, acting
with the Home Service Section,
1 makes necessary loans to the men, arranges
suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in "appealing cases" and
1 settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
, and aid all men who discontinue traini
ing.
The Rod Cross agents And men "lost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors In
their friendly work with tlie men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some instances
living clubs, so these victims
of war may have attractive surroundings
and the fun which must go with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the lilind near Baltimore, Md.f
more than half of all the Americans
blinded In the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive Industrial survey to deter*
mine the vocations for which blind
| men could be fitted. As a result It Is
[ putting forth well trained men equlp!
ped to meet the social, civic and economic
requirements of their respective
j communities.
