Dates for Northern Wisconsin
State Fair Fixed.

The executive committee of the
Northern Wisconsin State Fair asso-
citation haye fixed the date for
holding the fair of 1908. While there
was a date open in August, the COM
mittee considered several reasons
for not holding it then, aud agreed
upon the week Sept. IA to is, which
is the week upon which the fair has
been held, excepting one, since the
association was organized. The
Hamline fair will be held Aug. 81 to
Sept. 5, the Wisconsin State fair
Sept. to IL and the Northern Wis
consin the week following.
The reasons for holding to the
Ole week are triple and include
that the people are not ready for
fairs in August, the farmers have
not completed their work, and vege-
tation has not attained its full
growth.
In connection with the fair will
of course be the Homecoming.
Secretary Clark has already Sc
cured two of the several free attrac-
lions for the fair this year and it
can be truthfully said that no at
traction of any nature that has ever
been given at previous fair equals
either one of them. They are the
Otora laps, four Japanese acrobats,
the best that ever appeared at an
American fair, and Mile. Naomi
Ethardo, who does Juggling and
and balancing on a pyramid of
bottles. Secretary Clark saw these
attractions himself and for the past
two years has endeavored to secure
them but was unsuccessful until
now.

Scientific Lecture.

The program committee of the
Peoples Lecture Course are to be
congratulated on their choice for
the extra number they have given
us this year. Prof. Patty, the scien-
tifc lecturer, was greeted at the
Methodist church Tuesday evening
by large and interested audience
which he held in a state of suspense
from his opening words till after
demonstrating the explosive power
of liquid air he babe them good
night, and then is was with regret
that the audience departed. Seldom
have we heard a scientific subject
treated as skillfully and simply as
Prof. Patty handled his three subjects
of the evening, wireless telegraphy,
radium and liquid air. Added to a
full mechanical equipment, and a
through knowledge of his subjects
the Professor has a pleasing manner
on the platform, and the vein of
humor and good fellowship running
through his lecture were ntertain-
ing as the knowledge of the wonders
which he revealed. Not only did he
tell of the wonders of wireless tele-
graphy but he also prophesied still
greater things when the powers
employed were better known. The
knowledge of the present was, he
said, but the beginning of wonders.
We are accustomed to look back
upon the generations of the past
with feeling of pity for the wonders
we enjoy which they missed, and
congratulate ourselves that our age
is the best that has been or shall be.
However those of the past did their
duty to the age in which they lived,
and future generations would look
back on us with that same contempt
and pity we now express toward
our great grandfathers.
The talks on radium and liquid
air, while interesting, were devoid
of the practical application which
the average man seeks and for that
reason were perhaps disappoint-
ment to some. But as the Professor
said, radium and liquid air are still
in their infancy and as yet the
children of the laboratory; it still
remains for some one to put them
to a practical use.
Wednesday morning at the M. E.
church Prof. Patty gave a lecture to
the pupils of the city and Normal
schools on wireless telegraphy and
liquid air.

Accident at Hudson.

Shortly after leaving the depot at
Hudson Tuesday evening the River
Falls train ran down and instantly
killed Nels Matson, a laborer, who
was walking the tracks. He carried
a saw and an AK and was evidently
returning home from his days
work, and the strong wind which
was blowing undoubtedly prevented
his hearing the whistle of the train
or the bell which rings continually
as the train passes through Hudson.
The mans body was terribly
mangled, the limbs and head being
entirely served from the trunk and
ground into bits. Mr.. Matson was
fifty eight years of age and leaves a
wife and four children. The coron-
er's inquest was held at Hudson
Wednesday morning, the crew of
the local train being kept there till
it was concluded.

The motive of the legislators in
enacting the eight-hour telegraph
operator law was a good one.
The prevailing sentiment was that
long application to the details of
dispatches where great and impor-
tant results were concerned had a
tendency to result in mistakes.
Eight hours was as long as most
men could safely bear such tension
upon their minds generally. Yet it is
doubtful if the law would have been
enacted had not the telegraphers
union urged its passage. The re-
suits of the law are somewhat differ
ent than had been expected. Had
the law applied only to places where
a great deal of business is done over
the wires it would have been a
measure of better business sagacity
than it is in its results. Many
operators are thrown out of a job
by railway companies and small
towns are Inconvenience by the
laws forbidding a local operator to
work over eight hours. In small
towns there's not sufficient business
to keep an operator so busy that he
could not safely send or receive
messages from the time the Offices
are opened in the morning until
their closing at night. Another dis
advantage that the people have at
these points where there is no shift
of operators is that no messages can
be sent at night when the tele-
greph companies charge but half
the rates they do for messages sent
during the day.

WILLIAM {. LUCAS
DIED YESTERDAY
Was PresidentOf of tho Watts
Cotton Mills.
HIS LIFE A SUCCESS.
Passed Away In philadelphia and Will
be Buried Today at Spartanburg.
Only A Years Old.

w. E. Lucas, president OF the Watts
Cotton Mills, died at Philadelphia at
2.3O o'clock Tuesday morning, January
the 18th. Mr.. Lucas came to Laurens
in 1896 to become president of and
build the Laurens Cotton Mills. To the
success of this enterprise he gave un-
stintingly all of his magnificent abili-
ties. He had no contractor but over
looked the actual building of the mill
itself, which from the day it went into
operation prospered under his splendid
management. In short time he was
recognized as one of the ablest mill men
in the South and in 1900 was offered and
accepted the presidency of the Darling
ton Cotton Mills, which he resigned in
1905. In 1902 Mr.. Lucas organized and
became president of the Watts Mill.
Owing to the serious break down in his
health in the spring of 1906, while he
lay desperately i'll in Philadelphia, a
compromise was effected in a pending
lawsuit between the minority and ma
jority stockholders of the Laurens Mills
by which the presidency of the mill
passed from his control.
Mr.. Lucas was born in Darlington
county 44 years ago. His father, DR..
B. S. Lucas, for years practicing
physician at Hartsville, Darlington
county, survives him and has made his
home with his son here for several
years. His brothers are Edwin r. Lu-
cas-, president of the Walhalla Cotton
Mills, and Il. G. Lucas of Rock Hill.
He married Miss Cora Cox of Nashville,
Tenn, who, with two sons, Edwin,
aged thirteen, and Robert, aged six,
survive him. Mrs. Lucas left for Phila
delphia Monday evening.
The body will be brought to Spartan
burg this morning and buried In the
Episcopal cemetery. Rev. Wilmot S.
Holmes of Orangeburg will officiate.
The death of Mr.. Lucas has brought
real and deep sorrow to his friends.
