WHIPPING HELD JUSTIFIABLE
Judge William H. Marksdale, after hearing testimony in the Circuit Court at Hall.  Fax County on Saturday in the case of Henry H. Edmunds, of this place, charged with severely whipping a negro girl in a mission home supported by him, rendered the opinion that the magistrate who had imposed a penalty on Mr. Edmunds had "flagrantly err" and that the sentence should be reversed and Mr. Edmunds discharged.
