E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New -berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, April 10, 1906. WELCOME.

Let this meeting be one of the best ever held by the Great Council and all of Newberry will do what we can to make your stay pleasant and your impression of the pale faces as well as the brothers of the tribe in the city of Newberry so pleasant and enjoy able that you will always look back to this meeting in Newberry as one of the most delightful you ever at tended. Let everyone feel at home. THE COURT HOUSE. The location of the court house was the main topic of conversation by the people who came to town on Saturday. We heard very few who approved the location selected and yet one gentleman who has been active in commending the action of the com mission told us that he had heard sev eral hundred say it was the best place in town. So there you have it. So far as we are concerned we can not understand how anyone who is disinterested can approve the selec tion. If any individual were going to spend a good sum to build him a handsome residence he would want a site upon which he could erect a building that would and could be seen before you got right at it. Es pecially should this be the case with a public building. Our position is that in the selec tion of a site the e~ommission should not have been governed by the one that cost the least money but should have gotten such a one as would be best suited for the purposes of a pub lic building, not only looking at the present, but with a view to the fu ture. And if none of the sites offer ered met these requirements then another place should have been taken if it could have been procured even though it was not offered. Then there are those who think there should be no court house built at all. - Before the Mayor. Mayor Pro Tern Win. Johnson, who is acting mayor in the absence of Mayor Brown has had a full court for several mornings. He had up a man named Andrews Mathis for enticing labor and fined him .$75 or 30 days. He took the days. He claimed to be workiing for the Lydia mills at Clin ton but the mills claimed to know nothing of him. Arthur Wiggins, colored, got drunk a few nights ago and undertook, to paint the town red. He was convicted in four cases and given 100 days in all and is now doing time on the streets. There were several cases of more or less import. At a meeting of the Baptist congre gation on Sunday morning it was de eided to build the new church where the parsonage now stands and to move the parsonage to where the church is. LUCAS-MILLIKEN FIGHT ENDS. A Satisfactory Solution of the Issues Involved Has Been Reached in Fight for Laurens and Dar lington Mills' Control. The State of Sunday contained the following in reference to the dispute between Lucas and Milliken for con trol of the Laurens Mill property: The hard fought fight between the Milliken interests and the Lucas fac tion has been settled, it is authorita tively announced, and there has been reached an agreement as to the Laurens and the Darlington cotton mills, for the control of which the contest has waged for nearly a year. It is stated1 that an agreement has been reached by representatives of Milin-and LuATas by which Millkn and his associates ,gree to purchase the stock of Lucas and his associates in both the Laurens and the Darling ton mills. The price to be paid for the Laurens mill stock is said to be $170 per share of par value of $100 and market value of $160. The agreed price for Darlington stock is to be $65 per share, quoted at $50 on the market. This will mean the retirement of Mr. Lucas from the management of these two properties and the control of both of them by Ir. Milliken and his associates. The origin and issues involved in the fight for the control of the two mills are familiar to the reading public, as much has been pub lished concerning the matter within the last few months. There arose a disagreement as to policy between Mr. W. E. Lucas, president and or ganizer of both the mills, and the members of the firm of Deering, Mil liken & Co., who held large blocks of stock in the concerns. It was claimed by Mr. Lucas that the Millikens de sired to obtain control of the proper ties in order to continue the sale of the products through their firm as commission merchants when Mr. Lu cas Had found that he could sell his goods to better advantage through another firm, which charged a small er commission. There were charges and counter-charges on this line and the matter has been taken into both the state and federal courts, with in junctions and so forth from both sides. Now the dispute is settled to the seeming advantage of both sides, since Mr. Lucas, while he loses control of the mills, will obtain for the stock the prices he demanded last year from the Milliken faction. Mr. Lu cas is also president of the Watts mill, which is not involved in this controversy, and it is likely that he will devote his entire time to that con cern, whicn is of itself a splendid property. Mr. Lucas has been in ill health for some time, but has recently been reported better. The annual meeting of the Laurens mill stockholders is held in May, but a meeting has been called for next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. It is understood that the agreement now reached between the two factions will be ratified at this meeting, which will be held in the offices of the Laurens mill at Laurens. The articles of agree ment were drafted yesterday at a meeting held in Spartanburg, Messrs. Miliken and Hatch of the Milliken firm and several of the attorneys rep resenting both sides being present.
