Mr. James A. White died at
his home in Darlington last
Wednesday morning, after a
lingering illness of several
months. Mr. White was agood
and useful citizen, highly es
teemed by bis many acquaint
ances, and bis death will be
much regretted. He was born
in the Mars Bluff section of this
county (then West Marion)
about fifty years ago. While
quite young be entered the Con
federate army and served with
marked courage, receiving a
dangerous wound in the head
while engaged in battle. By
this wound he lost one eye, and
finally his life, as that was the
prime cause of the illness which
lead to his death.
Mr. White was a printer by
trade, and, up to the time of his
illness, was foreman of The
Darlington News, which posi
tion lie had held since 1877,
association win moei mere when The News belonged to
fall. the present editor of The Mes
senger. In bis duties to his
employer he was always faith-
d’j* ful, upright and honest, as he
was ia his general business

immediate family will experi
