Personal Card Bearing Inscription *Frora Fellow Servant of People" Left at Mausoleum. Paris, Dec. 15?When- President Wilson went to the tomb of .LaFayette today he insisted on taking his own wreath, contrary to the custom here by which the florist delivers the wreath and the doer later makes the visit and leaves his card. The pres;dent sent Admiral Grayson- to buy the wreath and after some difficulty in explaining to the florist, who couM not understand why the traditional custom was being broken, obtained it and drove to the tomb. On his personal card President Wilson wrote this inscription: "In memory of the great LaFavette from a fellow servant of liberty." Entirely unanounced the president drove to the old Pichus Cemetery, where the amazed gate keeper was almost too flustered to unlock the gates when he learned-who his earlier was. The news of the president's visit spread rapidly to the convent nearbv and as he left he passed through lires of aged nuns who came out to pay their respects to the American chia? executive. Mr. Floyd Bradley received a telegram Monday from Dr. Harvey Caba. niss of Athens, Ca., stating that his father Mr. E. Cabaniss had died suddenly on Saturday at his home in Maxeys, Ga'. Mr. Cabaniss was a citizen of Newberry for many years and for several years a member of city council.
