P/ Newt was received in Abbeville yesterday morning of the death of Mr. Lewi* W. Parker, of Greenville, S. C. Mr. Parker was a native of Abbeville and Spent his boyhood days in this city. He was the second to the youngest son of Hon. Wm. Henry Parker, for many years a leading member of the South Carolina Bar, 1 and of his wife, Mrs. Lucia Wardlaw 1 Parker. I Lewis W. Parker was about fifty years of age. He was educated at the South Carolina College, where he took the law course. Upon graduation he commenced the practice of law in the city of Greenville, where he met with almost instant success. Soon after his admission he formed a partnership with H. J. Haynesworth, now one of the most distinguished members of the Greenville bar and for many years they enjoyed a lucrative practice. About twenty years ago the Victor Mills at Greenville got into financial troubles. At that time parties interested were looking around for a man able to work the mills out of its financial troubles. Mr. Parker had commended himself to the people of Greenville as a man of business judgment and capable of handling the cituation by his efficient management of the Piedmont Savings and Investment Company, and in the winding up of a large bankrupt estate of which he was the assignee. He was selected to head the Victor Mills. When he took charge of the mills one of the most remarkable financial careers known to the people of this State commenced. He at once demonstrated his ability as a business man of first magnitude. In the | ? - I -1 . course or ten year* ne was pernaps \ the best known business man in the ] State and was drawing a salary each I year several times greater than that J of any other man perhaps in the i State with a few exceptions. His < mills prospered under his manage- i ment until he became connected with ] the Columbia group of mills. He i made ?ome money after assuming j the management of these mills, but f it is believed that he did not succeed , GOING TO THE WEDDING.

DENTIST .... over Dr. Speed's Drug Store Office Phone 242, Abbeville, S. 0. i IRKER DEAD with them in acordance with hit expectation*, nevertheless, he had every confidence in his ability to work out the situation and would have done so except for losses incurred ftf fVtA Ftirnn?An War. In order to guard his mills against losses on account of the advance in cotton, be was accustomed to buying very largely in the cotton market. He bad a large amount of cotton bought when the war broke out. The price fell rapidly to five or six cents per pound less than he had contracted to pay. This brought great disaster to his mills with the result that some of the people who had large amounts if money invested became dissatisfied, causing the resignation of Mr. Parker. Soon after his resignation he was itricken with a deadly malady from nrhich he suffered up to the time of bis death, but he was brave through it all, hopeful and confident. AN though his death has been expected for some time, it is, nevertheless, a ihock to the people of the State, and especially to the people who have tnown him so long and so well. Mr. Parker is survived by his wife, sne daughter and three sons, three brothers, Messrs. William Henry barker, of the Charleston Bar, Capt. Frank L. Parker of the United States Army, and Commander Thos. D. Parker, retired, of the United States Navy. He has many relatives and friends over the State and especially in Abbeville County.

By hia friends everywhere and by the people who knew him in hit life time, Mr. Parker was respected and loved. They rejoiced with him in tiis prosperity and sympathized with tiim when the hour of adversity and ifiliction came.
