Editor Lancaster News | wish
much success to you and to your
family OF workmen. Will say to
you all that | am in very feeble

for several months. | was not
able to visit you the first OF the
year, as has been my custom, as
you know but | take this meth
cd of wishing you and your CO.
laborers success and happiness
for the year 1907.
l have been noticing your
warnings to the customers and
patrons of your valuable paper
TO come and pay up and renew
for the new year, but / have paid
no attention to them, as | knew
that | was or the safe side. For
thirty years l had the 18th day
of January for renewing and pay
ing for the old Lancaster Ledger.
And about this time last year l
called into your Office and made
the exchange for The Lancaster
News, paying for one year. My
time is now out and | will renew
for year 1907. l send you here
with check for $3.50. | am well
pleased with The News, and it is
the only paper that | can see
how TO read.
Let me say to your readers and
my friends generally that, hav-
ing become so feeble, | do not
think that | will ever be able to
mingle much more with them,
but all have my wishes for their
health and happiness.

MIR. Jordan is positive in this
announcement, it is believed
that his decision is the result of
certain criticism that has been
made of his conduct of the Office
and that if he is endorsed by the
convention he may be prevailed
upon to accept the Office for an
other term. Walter Clark, pres
dent of the Mississippi associa.
ton, is prominently mentioned
as Jordan's successor. The meet
ings of the executive committee
today have been executive, but
it is understood that the chief
topic under discussion had been
the plans for the formation of
the $1O,0O0,O00 holding compa
ny to enable Southern planters
to store cotton and hold it for
prices which meet their approx
al.

Spooner on Tillman--Severe-
ly Criticises the South Car
Dina Senator's Views on
Lynching.

Wash ington, Jan. 15.-Goad-
ed by frequent interruptions
from Mr.. Tillman, the speech of
Mr.. Spooner in the Senate today
on the resolution for the inyes-
tigation of the affray at Browns
vile was changed from a consti-
tutional argument in defense of
President Roosevelt's course in
discharging a negro battalion to
a severe arraignment of the
South Carolina Senator. He
quoted from Mr.. Tillman's ut.
terances defending lynching as a
means of controlling negroes,
and said that to encourage such
mob violence was a disgrace to
civilization. MIR. Tillman was
not permitted TO reply to this
criticism at the time, but at the
conclusion of Mr.. Spooner's at
tack declared that at an early
date he would take occasion to
defend himself against the Gin
sulting illusions" made by Mr..
Spooner.

be kept well covered with white wash,

As a usual thing bank barns are not
good dairy barns. unless the stalls are
placed on the floors entirely above

and has low ceilings. Ii Is difficult to

ing animals. The drainage OF the yards

Remember that 1t is highly injurious
to drink ice water when ov~erhealeu

Try to take a little exercise in the
morning before the sun is too hot, or IN
the evening when it is cool. n sys-
tenn requires a certain amount OF ex-

A glass of lemonade without sugar
is refreshing and quenches the thirst.
Underripe and overripe fruits are
both indigestible and will cause grave

Keep a close watch over the cieanli-

Eat little meat and eat plenty OF

cold in hot weather is TO take a thin

tightly around it. Fill the bottle with
cold water and stand IL in a shallow
dish filled with water. Place the whole
in the shade (where there Is a draft,

around the bottle becomes dry before

moistened again.

VALUE OF soILINe CROPS.

Even with the best of pastures the
COW relish some succulent soiling crop
during he late summer months.
Grasses get a little tougher, and while
they are then in the best stage for
making a prime quality of butter, other
green crops have their place and they
pay. Our Canadian brothers have
learned this long Ago., and on most
dairy farms one will find a nice patch
of oats and peas, some early corn or al
falfa, where ii a be grown. This
system has a double value, furnishing
green feed when ii is badly needed,
and increasing the capacity of the
farm. On one farm Of eighty acres,
twenty cows was the limit where they
were kept continually on the pastures.
BY putting in ten acres to supplement
tary crops. and allowing cows on the
pastures only during the evening, the
number OF COWS was increased to forty.
and the whole herd did better than be-
fore. Sweet corn, millet, rape and
pumpkins a all be planted up to

This tutor prided himself on his de-
tective skill, and seeing a student consult
ing his watch repeatedly, he called out TO
him, with a wise smile:
Mr.. Smith, i viii have to look at that
watch OF yours, If you please
Smith seemed worried. He advanced
and handed forth his watch. The tutor
opened it, and saw pasted across the dial
a tiny slip OF paper bearing the word

'Of course, then Smith was allowed to
resume his work. But the tutor kept his
eye on him. And certainly the young man
kept looking at his watch with suspicious
frequency.

The voice was loud and peremptory.
Smith thrust his watch back in his pocket
and started guiltily.
Mr.. Smith, I'll just nave another look
at that watch, please
But this time the tutor did not go for
the face. He opened the back of the
watch instead. And there, sure enough,
he found a small folded paper. Examining
