VETERAN ALABAMA
NEWSPAPER EDITOR
DIES OF INJURIES
Jourd White, One of Oldest
Journalists in State, Passed
Away in Chattanooga
Yesterday

Jourd White, veteran editor of the
Moulton Advertiser, is dead.
Run down by an automobile in Chat
tanooga Wednesday night. he passed
away at a hospital in that city yes
terday afternoon at o'clock. Infor-
nation to this effect was received by
long distance telephone from CORTLAND
last night.
Mr.. White was So years of age, and
with possibly one exception, was the
oldest newspaper editor in Alabama in
point of continuous service. For nearly
half century he had directed the poll
cies of the Moulton Advertiser, itself
nearly 100 years old.
He went to Chattanooga several
weeks ago to visit his daughter, Mrs.
r. o. Benner. The details of the acct
dent which caused the injuries result
ing in his death were not received here
last night. Mr.. White had been in i'll
health for the past several months, he
having been prevented from attending
the recent meeting of the Alabama
Press association here on that account.
For rs years the Moulton Advertiser
has been in the hands of the White
family, during the greater part OF
which time Jourd White was the editor.
A journal of the old school. without any
of the modern frills, it retained its
power and influence as a newspaper OF
exceptional force. The editorials of Mr..
White were known throughout the
state for their frankness and boldness,
tempered with the spirit of charity
which made him one of the most be-
loved members of the newspaper fra
ternity in Alabama.
A man of unimpeachable integrity, of
unquestioned courage and possessed of
the ability to write forcefully and
clearly on all questions of public in
terest, Mr.. White made the little Law
renee county weekly one of the most
widely quoted of the state papers. The
force of his strong personality was felt
in every campaign in Alabama and none
there were who failed to admire him
for the courageous stands he took and
maintained with honor and dignity.
He is survived by widow and three
sons, John White, Paul White and Rob-
ert White, all of Moulton, and two
daughters, Mrs. R. O. Benner of Chat
tanooga and Mrs. J. T. Kumpe of Moul-
ton. The remains will be brought to

made there tomorrow. Further details
of the funeral are yet to be announced.
Although no formal announcement
has been made regarding the conduct
of the Moulton Advertiser. it is under
stood that the paper will be continued
without Interruption. During the illness
of Mr.. White, his son. John White, has
been in complete charge for the past
several weeks. 1t is stated that he will
continue the paper and that it's policies
will not be changed from those for go
many years maintained by his father.

bevy of pretty girls, and some real
good singing and dancing at the

edy tabloid show which is holding the
boards of this popular playhouse is
