Mr. Whitner was a poor ia swimmer, and may have been unaible r" to swim to safety when in deep !n water. In company with several persons 1S from Bennettsville, Mr. Whitner K" went to the nearby pond about 5 10 o'clock this afternoon. Those in the party say that for some time Mr. :c* Whitner was in bathing with them c" in the mill race, tha't he then stated 58 that he was going to the mill house v~ to dress. Mr. Whitner was seen to " leave the pool and to start towards k" the pond on the other side of the B" mill dam. He was kit seen alive by ^ a young man Who stated that he met re Mr. Whitner while* going from the c" pond to the race. It Is supposed that Mr. Whitner suddenly decided to go , in the pond before dressing, and that he stepped in a hole and went ? down in the water over his head. r There was no one in the pond at the time 'he was last seen, so there were ^ no eye witnesses to the drowning. ' Mr. Whitner was not missed for 1some time. When the rest of the parL6 4 ^ ty prepared to leave they found that >r he had not left, his clothes -being1 found in the mill house. Search was immediately .begun vflth the result | :r that his body was ^poind in the pond, in seven feet of wateT aT>out 25 feet e from the mill dam. Mr. Whitner was one of <the best 18 known of Beniiettsville's business! ^ men and numbered his friends by' l r ' l the hundreds. He had been a resiy dent of Bennettsville for a number; of years and was widely known ', throughout this section. He was I = originally from Jacksonville, Fla., ij! being a meander of a prominent | j| iFlorida family. Surviving him are j j; his wife, who was Miss Eva Lewis, 1 |; of Fredericksburg, Va., and one son, j !;! William Church .Whitner. Several J brothers and,sisters also survive.

The films showed every stage of half a dozen operations, including an operation for fracture of the patella, one for the extirpation of the breast and an operation on the stomach and abdominal cavity as performed by men like Professor Dier and Professor Frankel. The process is the invention of Dr. Alexander von Rothe, chief physician of the Wilmersdorf Hospital, who long has been working with the assistance of the ministry 6f education and the Cinematographic-Techincal Association to find a method of filming the operations which should show every motion without disturbing the surgeons or employing illu mmation likely to counteract the asepsis. The lens of the apparatus is contained in a spherical cape which is suspended directly over the field of operation and the film ribbon, which often is six hundred meters long, passes through a tube from the reel in an adjoining room. .
