FARMER FOUND

Allendale, Oct. 31.-Fleming Cha
vous, former mayor. of Allendale and
one of the most prominent citizens of
this entire section of the state, was
found dead on the edge of the woods
on one of his plantations near Allen
dale this afternoon, with two bullet
holes through the region of his
heart. ..Fz
While evidence points to the fact
that his death might have been self
inflicted, there is no reason, that can
possibly be assigned for such an act.
He was seen only a few minutes be-
fore the discovery of his dead body in
apparently good spirits, having
bought several cigars from store
keeper nearby. While has health has
not been the best during the past year
it has caused him no apparent anxiety.
His financial condition was in every
way satisfactory, it appears, he be-
ing one of the largest land owners and
planters of this section His mysteri-
.ous death has cast gloom over this
town and community that has scarcely
ever been felt. The sheriff is conduct
ing an investigation to find out if
there could possibly have been foul
play in connection with his death.
Mr.. Chavous was about 65 years of
age and leaves widow, formerly
Mrs. Clementine Williams of this sec
tion. and two sons w. A. Chavous
present mayor of Allendale, and asso-
ciated with his late father in business
