The finest cottee substitute ever

.doctor. "Health Coffee" ls really the
.closest coffee Imitation ever yet pro
duced. Not a grain of real coffee In

(From a Laurens Dispatch.)
NviwM has been received here of

and lt was thought that he-was get
ting alon* nicely. Yesterday after
noon his wife together with Dr. R. E.
Hughes, left for Philadelphia, and at
this time are on their way and prob
ably have not heard of the death.
A life of remarkable activity has
been brought to a close. W. B. Lu

succeeding in building the Laurens
Cotton Mill and later tho Watts Min
He was for several year? v? evident
of three mills, the two here and alBo
the Darlington Manufacturing Co.
He held this position until about
three years ago when he undertook
to dispose of the products of his
mills at a lower per cent than he had
been paying. Then lt was that tbe
M nil kens got controlling interest in
the Laurens Mill and Darlington mill
and removed Mr. Lucas from the
presidency. He then gave his en
tire attention to the Watts Mill since
which time the Watts Mill stock has
advanced from about 80 to 140.
W. E. Lucas was considered by
many one of the very best cotton
mill men In the South. Mr. Lucas
was a son of Dr. B. S. Lucas, of
Darlington, S. C., and was 56 years
old. He married Miss Cora Cox, of
Nashville, Tenn., and besides her,
leaves two children. The funeral
will take place at Spartanburg to
morrow, and a number of his per
sonal friends from here will attend.
He leaves an estate e?timated at
$200,000 or more. Besides stock in
several mills he has about $130,000
life insurance, which is distributed
in quite a number of companies.
Mr. Lucas was in every sense strict
ly a business man, and he command
ed the respect and admiration of all
who knew him.
