OWENS "'Laurens county was truly shocked and saddentHl Saturday night when the news spread that Sheriff Colum bus L. Owens was dead. During the <lay he had been at his office and had mingled with friends on the streets before returning to his home late in the afternon. Soon thereafter he suf fered a suilden heart attack which proved fatal. ’ ^ For twenty-five years the name of Columbus L. Owens had been associ- jlted with Laurens county as a peace officer. For several years he was a menrher of the rural .police system. In recognition of his work he was elect ed sheriff in 1924 and had filled this office for twelve years. Four years ago he broke an established precedent of a hundred years when he was re elected for a third term, the custom «ntil then being to give a sheriff, two terms of four years. He was planning to seek re-election this sunvmer for a fourth term and it is doubtful if there 1 is a man in the county who could have defeated the widelyAnown and well- liked officer. Mr. Owens was an unusually popu lar sheriff with the people of the during the past year. The job of running a chamber of commerce in recent years has been most difficult due to business condi tions, there has been much to discour age find to retard the carrying out of set up prpgrams on the part of or ganizations' of this type. But when Mr. Heustess was elected to the po sition a year ago, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work. In all of his efforts he found a ^sympathetic spirit of cooperation on the part of the membership. •" The good-will meetings arranged by President Heustess to bring meTrtbers of-the-efub and-their neighbors from other sections closer together, was an excellent idea, and one calculated' to result in much good for years to come.
