Note: Charles D. Harrington Dead Greenville Daily News, Sat., Oct. 25, 1919 Charles D. HARRINGTON, aged about 40, was found dead at one of his tenant houses six miles from Greenville yesterday afternoon. Sheriff E. R. DUDLEY and Deputy Sheriff Guy CATON passed the Harrington place soon after Mr. HARRINGTON had been found dead by the tenants. The officers were stopped and told what had taken place. They immediately left their car and went to the house where HARRINGTON was. According to Deputy Sheriff CATON’S statement to a Daily News man last night, Mr. HARRINGTON’S death was due to drinking two bottles of Jamaica ginger. Two bottles of ginger were found in his coat not opened and two empty bottles. Sheriff CATON said that when he and Sheriff DUDLEY entered the house and viewed the body it had turned black. HARRINGTON it is said, had been drinking heavy for the past several days and failing to secure whiskey resorted to ginger which caused his death. The deceased was a married man with a wife and two children. He is a son of the late ex-Sheriff HARRINGTON and brother of R. D. HARRINGTON.
