Well, Mr.. Editor, there is an
end to all things, same as there
is a beginning. Since Christmas
the writer has attempted-yea,
he feels his attempt has been a
vain one, TO give the readers of
The Lancaster News items from
the State capital. Now his
writings from this place are to
be brought to close. He expects S
to return to dear old Lancaster
and therefore sends his last
article, such as it is, now. He
has used the ncm-de plume,
"Lancastrian," for he is a true
lover OF LANCASTER, although
a temporary citizen of Column
bia. And now he returns to the
Red Rose city (for it is becoming
city, with more love for it than
ever. He expects to see many
changes, business, residential

Recent advices from Texas

that the crop in these States is

issued call for meeting OF all
of the county presidents in Col

proper. 1t is needless 10 say
that the outlook for remunera-

it makes no difference, or very
little difference, how fattering
the statistical position OF cotton

avail little if he individually and

an agreement amongst the men

to what price they will stand for; !;
if there are not means devised

Many OF Striking Key Men Are Re
ported rs Ready TO Return TO
Work.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Evidence that
the striking telegraphers had grown
tired of the ten weeks strife against
the telegraph companies was sen to-
day, when 1t was reported by mem
bers of the Operators union that so
men had signifed their intention OF
applying for employment Monday at
the Offices of the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies. The
report caused wide commotion among
the leaders of the strike movement,
who Immediately denied its truth.
A strong reaction in favor OF S. j.
Small, former president of the Teleg-
raphers' union, has also set in. The
former presidents order TO the oper-
ators to return to work and trust to
future legislative measures TO win
their battle when they were not weak
ened by a strike siege Is now said to
be appreciated by members OF the
union who were foremost in their de-
nunciation of Small's peace action.

A CRAZY MAN

a crazy man was recently found

was declared additional proof OF his
insanity, as every one realizes THAT
the she'll OF an egg has no food value,
and is both indigestible and injurious.
IL is just as crazy for sane person
to swallow a lot OF cod liver oil to
get the benefit OF the medicinal ele-
ments contained therein, as for the
crazy man to eat the egg. she'll ana
all.
Scientists agree that the oil or
greasy part of cod liver oil has no
medicinal value whatever, and only
upsets the stomach and retards re-
covery. but 1t is the medicinal ele-
ments enveloped in the Gods FLYERS
and their oil which represent all tho
tonic and curative power of that IA
nous old remedy.
Vinol contains all the medicinal
curative elements of cod liver oil,
but is entirely free from oil, and is
therefore. the best strength creator
and tonic reconstructor possible to
obtain.
The reason vinol is so far superior
to the old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions is because II is made by
scientific, extractive and concentrat-
ing process from fresh Gods livers,

Paducah High school defeated Hop
kinsville High school Saturday after
noon at Wallace park by the score OF
IL to o. The teams were of nearly
the same weight and the High school
showed that the team has profited
by the weakness developed in the Gull
ley game a week before. The play
ing was so per cent better in every
way. The boys had a chance to show
what they can DO against a team
their own size.
The game was called at $3.50, and
as the teams lined up there was lit
tie difference in the weights of tbs
players. The Paducah High schoo
team averaged about. 1875 pound!

team.
Hoptown had the kick off and
Reader got the ball but made only
a short run. The Paducah High
school had the ball and went through
the line quitefeasily for several bag
gains.
At this point there was much
wrangling. The Paducah boys OBJ
jected to being penalized for hurdfing
but the referee was firm and had his
own way.
The Paducah team made repeated
gains and kept in the II. II. S. terri

while. He soon got over it and
wished to play but the coach would
not let him.
Paducah punted and on the first
pass Hopkinsviile made Luftenburg

and made a large gain.
Paducah now tried to force a

from Elliott and few down the field.
