When the name does not end in s, one should use 's. eg) Mr Smith's pen.

This is the same as any apostrophe of posession, eg) the cat's whiskers.

When the name does end in an s, the rule is exactly the same. eg) Mr. Jones's pen. James's watch.

You never add s' to show possession. If the word is a plural formed with an s, such as baskets or buffaloes, the possessive is indicated by adding an apostrophe alone eg) the baskets' handles, the buffaloes' horns.
