Let everyone feel at home. THE COURT HOUSE. he location of the court house was the main topic of conversation by the people who caime to town on SatRIday. We heard very few who approved the loeation 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 arc concerned we can not iderstand how anyone who is disiiterested ean approve the selec tionl. If aiiy individual werie going to spend a good sum to build him a handsome residence lie would want a i site upon which lie could erect a 1 building that wvould and could be seen before you got right at it. Es pecially should this be the case with Spiblic building. Gui' position is that in the selec tion of a site the commission should if not liave been governed by the one that cost the least money but should have gotten such a one as would be best suited for tle purposes of a pub lic builing, 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 pr'oecre ev'en thloughi it was not offered. Thieni there arie t hose w~ho think there should lbe no cour't house built at all. Before the Mayor. M1%ayor' Prio Temn Wm'.

There were several eases of more or less import.

LUCAS-MILLIKEN FIGHT ENDS. A Satisfactory Solution of the Issues Involved Has Boon Reached in Fight for Laurens and Dar hington Mills' Control. The State of Sunday containted' the following in reference to the dispute between Lucas and Mfilliken~ for con trol of the Laurenis Mill property: The hard fought fight betiveen the Milliken interests amnd the Lucas fac tion~ has been settled, it is authorita. tiyely announced, and thmers has beoi renheed . an agreement 'irs te tifeo Laurons and .the Darlington . cottoli K~) ~b,s, for thei control of lh ch Pie ;~'O9RtOt has waged for nei~I Sa is Mafted that ma agi'eo)ppt t! ~ ~~~oehed by ropresentatives Q 'aii Lucas by which Millik~ and lis assocates ageee to purohase the stock of Lucas and. is associktes in both the I*%urens ndpi-thearing ton mills. The priee' to b y)d for ths Laurens mill' stock Is ad to be $170 per share of par value bf-$100 and market value of $100. 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 14r. 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 coipmission merchants when Mr. Lu cas had found that lie could sell his goods to better advantage through dnother 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 lie loses control of the mills, will obtain for the stock the prices lie demanded last year from the Milliken faction. Mr. Lu ens is also president of the Watts mill, which is not involved in this controversy, and it is likely that lie will devote his entire time to that con eern, which 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 thd Laurens :uill stockholders is held in May, but kmeeting has been called for i1ext Friday morning at 10 o'clock. It is I liderstood that the agreement now 'eached between the two factions will e ratified at this meeting, which will e held in the offices of the Laurens 9 nill at Laurens. The articles of agree- I nent were drafted yesterday at a C ieeting held in Spartanburg, Messrs. diilliken and Hatch of the Milliken Irm and several of the attorneys rep esenting both sides being present.
