SULUVAN On August 23 When It Will Be Closer To the Earth Than In One Hundred Years. If you are astronomically inclined you will have an opportunity on Sat urday night, August 23, to see our nearest planet neighbor, Mars, in all its glory, the occasion being that it will be nearer the earth than it has been for more than a hundred years. Astronomers in all of the world’s largest observatories have been busy for months installing pov/erful tele scopic equipment and the largest and most > modern cameras, which will be turned on Mars on the 23rd. This will be the first time that as tronomers have had the opportunity to really look at Mars under such fa vorable conditions, and the first time that Mars has been so near the earth since the invention of powerful tele scopes. For centuries astronomers and scientists have been watching Mart, they have photographed it, they have drawn maps of it, and great writers have written pages after pages on the possibility of Mars . being inhabited with animal life, or if there is any vegetation oifniverplanet Astronomers have watched the ever changing, wonderful network of cab als from time to time, and of these showing the changes, and many the ories have been advanced trying to explain these changes. According to many astronomers these canals—if the lines shown on many photographs are canals—are for irrigation. The planet Mars has very little if any water or moisture and the construction of the supposed canals is to convey water from one part of the planet to the other. It may be possible on Saturday, August 23, for astronomers to make good some of the strange and mysti fying stories that have been written about our sister planet. The possi bility for a view of Mars will be more favorable owing to the fact that Mars will be at such a position or angle on its orbit that it will be facing the sun and the illumination will be more I penetrating and permit a better in terior view, and some wonderful dis coveries may be made. If there is animal habitation or Mars it must be quite different from that on earth. Some artists have drawn pictures of the Martains, and they show them to be tall, with very frail bodies with large heads and their noses in the shape of long snouts. Almost every artist has drawn a different picture of the Mar- tains man. There has never been any real rea son discovered up to the present time to really show that Mars is inhabited with either man or vegetable. Pro fessor E. E. Free, Ph. D., Fellow ot American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, says he does not believe there is any animal or Mars, hut it may be inhabited by many “thinking vegetables,” such as the peanut, pumpkin, mushroom, etc. This Professor Free used illustrations in showing the evolution of Mars in McClures magazine, Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and its year is of 687 terrestrial days, its day is 24 hours, 37 minutes long, and Mars is the possessor of two moons. The two moons of Mars may indi cate plenty of light during the night, hut when you think of our old friend nJuptier with five moons, thfen you can imagine how much light you would have if you had five moons in stead of one. It has been said by astronomers that baseball could be played on Jupiter at midnight as well ■as it could be played here on earth at midday. . ,,, ■ * ', o Jupiter had only four moons back in H510. -They were discovered by an old astronomer named Gallileo, but it still remained for the modern astro nomer and the modem telescope to '■■earch out and pick up many things that was impossible for- the old as- fronomers to get, so in 1892 Profes sor E. E. Barnard of the Lick obser vatory, discovered the fifth moon of J upiter. There ^are many planets better off than the earth when it comes to moonlight. Saturn has eight satelli tes or moons and Venus is in itself one of the most brilliant bodies in the heavens, except the moon and sun. exclaimed, and when Chairman Fin lay started to say that he made his statement as a precautionary meas ure, Mr. McMahan declared, “You “Ought to have had better sense.” The incident occurred after the in surance commissioner had completed Is Warned By Latter About “Mud- Slinging.” Usual Attack Upon Newspapers., Pickens, Aug. 16—A verbal encoun ter, participated in by Insurance Com missioner John J. McMahan and W. E. Finlay, member of the legislature and Pickens county chairman, was the only novel incident at today’s meet ing of the senatorial candidates here. Commissioner McMahan expressed resentment at the announcement of the chairman in opening the meeting that no “mud-slinging” would be tol erated, and that any candidate, who indulged in personalities would have his allotted thirty minutes for speak ing cut short. * ^ The chairman’s announcement was pronounced an example of “poor courtesy” by the insurance commis sioner, who added that he felt “the people of Pickens county would resent the treatment accorded their guests.” Chairman Finlay starred to explain his action by saying no injustice was intended when Commissioner McMa han interrupted him, asserting, “You have done me one.” An attempt by the presiding officer to explaliPniat he issued warning-be* cause of newspaper reports concern ing previous meetings, brought anoth- own conclusions.” Mr. McMahan, with a very mild protest, proceeded with his speech. The chairman then took the floor to explain the inter ruption of Mr. McMahan. He had spoken a few sentences when the offi cial turned away from a conversation with a member of the audience and demanded, “Are you criticising me?” “You heard what I said,” retorted Chairman Finlay. It was at this junc ture that Commissioner McMahan ad dressed the audience, which filled a revivalist’s tabernacle, and criticised the “courtesy” of the presiding offi cer. Senator Dial, the first speaker of the day, predicted that he would be elected on the first ballot, because of three reasons. First, he said, be cause the people of South Carolina are “fair"; second, because they know his record and recognize it as good, and third, because they resent, he declar ed, attempts of outside interests to dictate to them in their internal poli tical affairs. He had referred in his speech to “Labor,” the official pub lication of the American Federation of Labor, displaying a copy in which her of the House. He advocated legis lation to compel reduced freight rates on agricultural products, the calling of another disarmament conference, failing which, a navy for this coun try equal to any in the world, and the drafting of labor and capital as well as men in the event of another war. ELECTION NOTICE ture was printed with a legend say ing he should be sent to the Senate er interruption from the state offi- from South Carolina. He had shown cial.' “The newspapers are liars,” he also a letter which he said came from Missouri and which advised against his re-election. Former Governor Cole L. Blease, who was again attacked today by Commissioner McMahan, followed the precedent he had already set by ig noring attacks upon his political rec- his speech. In the course of his t ord and devoted his speech to an ap- address, Chairman Finlay interrupted, peal for states’ rights, education and taxation. Congressman Byrnes recounted his record of fourteen years as a mem- him to caution him against violating the preliminary warning. At that time the speaker was criticising Sena- Notice is hereby given that the Democratic ’lV mar y Election for Laurens County will be held on the 26th day of August, 1924, and on the 9th day of September, 1924, there will be a second primary, if such be neces sary.
