first will contain the doings of the Paris
town meeting up to the time of adjourn
ment for dinner. This edition will be
mailed at the usual time Monday after
noon. The second edition will report
the doiugs of the town meeting in full,
and will be delivered to subscribers in
the towns of Paris and Norway as soon
as practicable after the adjournment OF
the meeting. This is of course assum-
ing that no extraordinary situation will
develop, such as the frightening of the
session to such an extent as to require an
adjournment to another day to complete
the business. Such an event is hardly
to be expected, though for several years
the amount of talk put forth has made a
considerable increase in the length OF
the meeting over what it used to be.
One of the oldest and most highly
esteemed residents of the place passed
away last Monday about 5 P. NJ, when
Mrs. Sarah w. Hewett quietly breathed
her last. She suffered from no disease,
but simply died of old age. Mrs. Hewett
was the daughter of Col. Henry Rust
Parsons, and was born in South Paris,
Aug. 30, 1915. She married Waterman
I. Hewett, and lived first in Mississippi
and later in Missouri. Mr.. Hewett died
in lS49, and soon after his death Mrs.
Hewett returned to South Paris with her
children and has ever since occupied the
old Parsons homestead here. She had
three children: Sarah W., who married
Rev. Henry o. Ttayer; Waterman T.,
now as for many years professor OF Ger
man in Cornell University; and Harvey
s., who died in young manhood. Mrs.
Thayer died some years ago. Three Of
her children are now living-Harvey
Thayer, professor of German in Prince
ton University, Miss Annie Thayer Of
Brooklyn. N. Y, and Mrs. Richard
Andrews of Englewood, N. j., all Of
whom were present at the funeral. Mrs
Hewett is also survived by two sisters
and two brothers-Mrs. Ann G. Morse
of South Paris, Oliver Parsons of Mime
apolis, Sewall Parsons of Miami, Mo.
and Mrs. Abby Gilkey Of Cedar Falls
Iowa. The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon, attended by Rev. A. <. Bald

AN AGED FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE.
James Sherbert, a Thrifty Farmer of
hobbysville, Spartanburg County,
Takes His Own Life.

Woodruff, April 10. Jim Sherbert, a
respectable farmer. living near Hobbys.
vile, about six miles from this place,
committed suicide Friday night about
midnight by shooting himself in the
heart with shotgun.
MIR. Sherbert, according to his fam
ily's statement, was in his usual good
health and his mind was perfectly
sound SO far as they could detect. Dur
ing the night Mr.. Sherbert got out of
bed without disturbing any member of
the family, later in the night he was
missed and from the fact that he did
not come in about the time he should
have done so the family went out to
look for him and found him dead not far
from the house.
MIR. Sherbert was about 60 years old
and very thrifty farmer. He had hid
in some place near his place about
81, 900, which he has always kept buried.
He had no faith in the good banks of
the country and it is very likely that
not even his wife knows where his
money is hid.

LAURENS MILLS
CONTEST SETTLED
Amicable Adjustment OF
Controversy Reached.
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT
Mr.. hiilliken and Associates Agree to
Buy 500 Shares of Stock...Mr.
Lucas TO Retire.

The contest for the control of the
Laurens Cotton Mills, which has been
Waged for the past eleven months bv
MIR. Seth M. Milliken of New York and
his associates on one side, and Mr.. w.
u. Lucas, president and treasurer of
the mills, and his friends on the other
has been settled.
According to the agreement which
was reached at conference of renre.
sentatives of both factions held in
Spartanburg last Saturday. Mr.. Mill
ken and his associates are to purchase
the holdings of Mr.. Lucas and his
friends in the mills to the extent of
1--WE hundred shares of stock at S170
per share. If more than 500 shares are
offered then the shares will be pro
rated, thereby allowing those who de-
sire, to go out with Mr.. Lucas, on pre-
cisely the same terms. They have ten
days or two weeks in which to arrange
for the transfer of the indicated num-
ber of shares of stock.
"A meeting of the board of directors
OF the Laurens Mills will be held at the
office of the company in this city Thurs
day afternoon.
The Spartanburg conference was at
tended by Messrs. C. C. Featherstonc
and w. r. Richey of Laurens, repre-
senting Mr.. Lucas, and Messrs. G. Fl.
Milliken, son of Mr.. S. M. Milliken of
New York, G. A. Hatch of the firm of
Deering, Milliken & Company, and their
attorneys. AT this conference the Mil
likens also agreed to take all of Mr.
Lucas holdings in the Darlington Cot
ton Mill of which he is president and
treasurer, at sos per share.
This adjustment of q controversy that
has attracted widespread interest in
cotton manufacturing as well as other
business circles throughout this section.
means the retirement of MIR. Lucas
from both properties. AS president
and treasurer he 8uperintended the
building of the Laurens Mills eleven
years ago and it is today one of the
best and most successfully operated
mills IN the State. 1t is capitalized at
$500, 1000 and pays an annual dividend of
II per cent.
