Edwin White Missing for Past Nine
Weeks.
Marion, May 27,rhe body Of Ed
win White a prominent citizen OF the
Centenary section of Marion county,
was found in Little Pee Dee river yes
terday afternoon. Nine weeks ago Mr.
White left his home to meet his broth
CT at Palmer school house, which is
about mile from his home, and where
ne was to help his brother erect Il
tombstone. When he did not show up
stitutcd but until the body was found
yesterday there was nothing further
heard Of him.
NJ. W. Davis Of Marion was fishing
in Little Pee Dee yesterday, having
negro paddler with him, when they
noticed strong odor and upon inves-
tigatiOn they saw the body in the wa
ter at the edge of the river MIR. Davis
Immediately phoncd to Marion to the
sheriff and coroner who went at once
TO the scene and the inquest was held
last night. 1t was found that Mr.. White
had one bullet hole in the stomach and
that his body had been wrapped sever
al times with wire to which was at
tachcd about 80 or GO pounds of iron.
1t is believed that the body was thrown
in tho river at point above where
it was found and that ii was washed
out to the shore by the current Of tn"
river which is very strong at this
point. The body was found about two
and onc-half miles from Mr.. Whites
home and was identified by the cloth
ing and BY a pocket knife which Mr.
White was known to have.
Two negroes. Seymour Swinton and
John Simmons were arrested and held
for investigation shortly after MIR.
White disappeared. Other arrests may
follow. These two negroes were re-
moved from the Marion Jail sometime
last night and carried elsewhere for
safety. 1t was thought best to take
this prccaution although there does
not sCnm to have been any talk of
summary action.

Of the platform recently adopted by

the purely personal references, which
Of course ] deeply appreciate, let me
say to you, My dear Senator, that the
sentiments expressed in this notable
document are in full accord with my
own views, especially the statements
which set forth the attitude Of the
party on the league of nations and the
pressing promlems of peace, finance
and reconstruction. These are the
clear-cut unequivocal principles Of pa
triotc men who know how to serve
their country and mankind.
Surely this platform recitcs rec

leans have a just cause for pride and
congratulation.

mont for more than four and a half

this line of business for himself. With
a good stock of silk, wool and cottol
