In the industrial and financial life of | this city and county William Ernest Lu cas was beyond compare the foremost | man who has lived since the war be tween the State's. After repeated failures to organize a | t >tton mill here his courage, his busi ness genius and his fidelity to trust in spired a confidence in the people of Laurens in 1895, and under his essential and indispensable leadership the finest property in South Carolina was built and placed upon a plane of impregna ble financial strength. Seven years later he founded Watts Mill, an estab lishment now of equal size with the other, and lived to see it develop and flourish. The direction and the ability of Mr. Lucas brought to this town and its suburbs an increase of useful white population of 2,600. Including the Watts Mill suburb, the work of Mr. Lucas as an industrial leader built about half the town, and changed it from a village into a city. Of course, without the help of numerous others he, a poor man as the world goes, could not have done it, but his brain and heart were the engine that moved Lau rens as a manufacturing town, and others of us merely shoved in coal. The business men of Laurens, practi cally without exception, had unlimited faith in Mr. Lucas' sterling honesty and fidelity. The record of this is writ ten in the fact that even his critics re mained shareholders in the mill of which he had complete management at the time of his death. So much for what he did for Laurens. A word personal. By reason of the character of my daily work I have been brought Into association, occasionally close, with numbers of the most promi nent men in this country and this State, in all walks of life; and, writing with deliberation, I say that in all the ele ments contributing to a great person ality he was worthy to rank with the best of them. In our age and time, an age and time of stress and conflict, the great man is seldom easy-going, smooth, perfectly trained, balanced and adjust ed; and I do not say that my friend was of that type, but he had the extraor dinary force that would have made him a great leader no less In New York or Chicago than in Laurens. In behalf of the people for whom he was trustee he challenged the wealth of New York; and I affirm, knowing whereof I speak, that by merely following the wishes of millionaires, which would have sub jected him to no criticism, he might have fattened his private purse and se cured freedom from the fierce harass ment that aggravated the burden when fatal sickness oppressed his last years. There are many poor and humble men and women in Laurens who loved him for reasons that the public cannot know. If ever a man was charitable, and yet concealed his giving, it was he. A marked characteristic of his na ture was abhorrence of all that is prurient and ribald in conversation. He was as modest as a child. He was de voted to his family. He loved his friends. He was abstemious in his hab its. If he spoke hastily sometimes he did not bear malice. ' His one personal pleasure was in good horses?a sure sign of a wholesome nature. As he grew older his character ri pened in tenderness and sympathy. Suffering all the time during the last three years of his life, his splendid in tellect and energy never flagged and his careful, vigorous attention to every de tail of his mill was continued -."ithout remittance. Even last year he spent hours every day out of his office and in the mill itself. With a regretful tone, he told me less than a year ago that he wae tempted to act as superintendent of Watts Mill; that, were he well, he would not heed a superintendent. Had his health and life been spared, there would have been no limit to his achieve ments as a manufacturer, for every day his comprehension of the duties of his calling grew stronger and better. He was one of the first manufacturers in the State to recognize the obligations of the ompany to the "help," in build ing churches and schools. In the last conversation that I had with him, I think it was the last subject that he talked to me about, he outlined a lit tle plan for the improvement of his mill village, something that would make lifo better and brighter for the children and men and women of it. It was a blessing and a source of strength to me to know him inti mately, to have had tho surety of his friendship, to have caught some glimpse of the light of high ideals that shone within him. He has passed away, hav ing accomplished a great work, and at what seemed yet the threshold of his career. Perhaps there aro those who will say that what I have written is extravagant. His actual prominence and fame were not so great as the qualities that I have mentioned would in time have brought to him, but at least I have written what I believe to be true. W. W. B.

Gray Court, January 13.?Christmas is over, but wedding bells are still ring ing. It continues to rain and the roads are in a fearful condition, but not so bad as around Shiloh. We have been reading with interest the stories of "W. D. S." on the old landmarks around tho town?especially those of Robert Seibert and Uncle Billy I Mitchell, whom we happened to know. Uncle Billy's resolve to always keep a woman around to cook his Christmas dinner was a good one, and was char acteristic of the man himself. It will be remembered that he had four good women to get up his dinner for him, three of whom were furnished by this neighborhood. The Sunday morning that he went forth to claim his fourth and last bride he shaved himself with out a glass and retired to his room to don his wedding garments, and came out with his shirt bosom on his back. When the question arose as to how many passengers the conveyance would carry one young lady said that she had thought of going provided there was room. "Oh! well," says Uncle Billy, "there won't be room this time; you can go next time." The next time never came, but Uncle Billy got there just the same. The Pure Food taw. Secretary Wilson says, "One of the objects of the law is to inform the con sumer of the presence of certain harm ful drugs in medicines." The law re quires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit form ing drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy die' not con tain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years it has been in general use.

Cothran today announced his with drawal from the race for associate jus tice against Hon. E. B. Gray, and Jus tice Gary will bo re-elected without op position. The two Houses have not agreed on the day for the elections, but it is thought the elections will be held on Wednesday next. Mr. Cothran, when asked if he hnd withdrawn, said: "Yes, I have decided to withdraw from the race. I have gone carefully over the situation, and realize that my election at this time would bo extremely improbable. I ap preciate more than I can toll the sup port of my friends, and I am unwilling to place them in the position of being led into a losing fight." It is understood, also, that Senator Bates, of Barnwell, will not permit his name to be used in the race for judge of the 2d circuit, and the contest will be between Robert Aldrich, James E. Davis and Claude E. Sawyer. The finest Coffee Substitute ever made has recently been produced by Df*. Slump, of Racine, Wis. You don't have to boil it fifteen or twenty min utes. "Mado in a minute." says the doctor. "Health Coffee" is really the closest coffee imitation ever yet pro duced. Not a grain of real coffee in it, either. Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert, were he to unknowingly drink it for coffee. Sold by J. M. Phil pot. DOGS IN BAGDAD. Why They Do Not Loot the Food Bazaars of the Town. Bagdad la alive with more or less hungry dogs. How Is it that Much packs of furleB do not loot the bazaars of the town? The explanation Is as simple as it Is interesting. The Bag dad shop fronts are absolutely open. Tho goat und mutton carcasses are hung where every dog that ruus can reach them. But time out of mind the first glance of a dog's eye toward forbidden dainties has been visited with tho swift desceut on him of ? cudgel or a hatchet. On one of a series of marches paral lel with the Euphrates I chanced to meet a de??rt horde whose greyhounds are In hipb repute. Buying a brace of saplings. I took them on with me, lodging the n in the tent and doing everything that was possible to make them feel at home. Surprising to relate, they obstinately refused both food and water. The re mains of a venison pasty seemed,at once to attract aud repel them. A pan of water appealed to them even more strongly, but they would not go up to it. After a time a Persian muleteer ex plained the mystery In a twinkling. No sooner did lie upset the water nnd toss the viands on the ground beforo them than the silky eared ones ran In like Trojans and made up in a few moments for a day's fasting. Accustomed to lap from tho river, from Irrlgatlonnl channels and from sheets of surface water nnd reared among peoplo who do not use tables, they had been taught by mnny a buffet to keep their noses out of cooking pots and vessels of every description. In Bagdad man and beast alike drink of tho great river, which nlso forms the arterial common sewer of the city, the place where clothes nrc washed and tho "Stygian wave" Into which Is dragged every beast of burden when It Is not left to He whore It has fallen. The muddy bottom, with the water ever receding, the exposed surface* thick with impurities and the tropical sun "sucking up nil the infections," must be n regular hotbed of miasma and pestilence. And yet, mlrablle dlctu, Bagdad Is not, os eastern cities go, unhealthy. But let the reader imagine to himself what the Bagdad of the foregoing slight description would be like with out the dogs that scavenge It. Refuso animal and vegetable matter Is largely disposed of by the dogs, in situ.?Nine teenth Century. When the stomach, heart or kidney nerves get we ?k then these organs always fail.

Most animals have little self con sciousnebs, and their reasoning powers nt b^*t are of a low order, but In kind at >en?t tho powers are not different from reason In man. A horse reaches Over the fence to be company to an other. This is Instinct. When It lets down the bars with its teeth, that is reason. When a dog finds its way homo at night by the sense of smell, this may ho Instinct; when ho drags a stranger to his wounded master, that Is reason. When a Jack rubbit leaps oyev a bush to escape a dog or runs in a circle beforo a coyote, or when It Ucs flat in the grass as a round ball of gray, indistinguishable from grass, this is Instinct. But the same animal Is capable ?f reason?that Is, of a dis tinct c'?' 'ong lines of action. Not long < i came bounding across the i mpus at Palo Alto. As tt . >d n ler it suddenly faced two Rin o v...gs running side by side toward It. It had the choice of turn ing back, its first instinct, but a dan gerous one; of leaping over the dogs or of lying on tho ground. It chose none of these, and Its choice was in stantaneous. It ceased leaping, ran low and went between the dogs just as they were in tho act of seizing It, and the surprise of the dogs as they stopped and tried to hurry around was the same feeling that a man would havo In like circumstances.?"Evolu tion aud Animal Life." Seven Years of Proof. "I have had seven years of proof that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best medicine to take for coughs and colds and for every diseased condition of throat, chest or lungs," says W. V. Henry, of Panama, Mo. The world has had thirty-eight years of proof that Dr. King s New Discovery is the best remedy for coughs and colds, la rippe, asthma, hay fever, bronchitis, emorrhage of the lungs and the early stages of consumption. Its timely use always prevents the development of pneumonia. Sold under guarantee at Laurens Drug Co. 's and Palmetto Drug Co.'s drug store, 50c and $1. Trial bot tle free. Tho Discovery of Iron. Tho stono age, bronze ago and iron ago So overlap ono another It Is Im possible to say Just when ono begins or ends. Men began to use both bronzo and Iron, long before stone had ceased to bo used. In fact, America was in tho stono ago so late as its discovery by Columbus 400 years ago. It is safe to say that history propor and tho Iron ago were born together anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. It Is more than likely that men gained their first Information concerning tho prop erties of iron through experiments with the pieces of it that had fallen from tho sky in tho shapo of meteors.?New York American. $100 Reward, $100.

Practical Painters Find MASTIC MIXED PAINTS thoroughly practical. A combi nation of lead and zinc in proper proportion, it is superior to any paint made of lead alone. Hand made paints mixed in a can and stirred with a stick cannot produce results like Mastic Mixed Paint, "The Kind that Lasts," Ground and re-ground by powerful machinery which therefore produces a smoother, glossier and more beautiful finish, covers more surface and resists the elements better. The cost of putting on poor paint is just as much as for putting on MASTIC PAINT that does not have to be re newed every year or so. The saving is all in favor of MASTIC PAINT.
