Referring to the four ounce egg
and the four-legged chicken of
which the Kershaw Era has been
proudly boasting, aided and.abett-
ed by The News, the Rock Hill
Herald says:
In this civilized county York
we are contented with an or
dinary hen egg. We do not
know the weight of the eggs Of
York but we do know that the
kershaW egg weighing four
ounces would lay heavy on ones
stomach. We are not surprised
to know that young chicken IN
Kershaw has four legs, for
strange things will happen in
strange places. But the strang-
est thing of all is why Editor
Connors claims these products.
Nothing strange at all about
our claim to these products
since Kershaw is in Lancaster
county. We would have you re-
member that old Lancaster rails
es everything except HI
from numerous limbed fowls tc
to live, hustling towns and the
prettiest women on earth.

A MORMON INVASION
Sixteen Elders Now Preaching in the
State

The recent comment concerning
Mormonism in Austria gave an oppor-
tunity to interview the Mormon Ed
ers laboring in the vicinity of Mont
pelier. They say it is an error, as
there are no Elders in Austria.
In the course of the conversation it
was learned that the Mormons keep
about 1000 Elders Inc the civilized
parts of the world preaching the the
ology of their church which they af-
firm to be the theology taught by
Christ and his Apostles, the theology
of the scriptures and reason. They
also affirm that through the ministra-
ton of immortal personages the same
mas been restored to earth and that
they are preparing people for the COM
ing of the Lord
After silence in Vermont of many
years, according to Elder Smellie the
Mormons have returned to the cradle
of their faith and established a con
ference, with headquarters at Mont
pelier.
There are sixteen Elders preaching
in the state, travelling two and two
without pay as they nave no salaried
the various walks of life, depending
on those who hear their words to ad-
minister to their wants.
The Elders mere are men of affairs
at home, who at the call of their lead
ers, nave left their families, comfor-
table homes and duties of life, to
preach in the world for from two to
three years as required
These Elders support their families
and themselves during their absence
with their private means.
Elder l.. W. Larsen attaches the de-
gree of b. A, to his signature, being
professor in their educational sys-
TEN. which is most thorough and COM
plete and supported by their church
at an annual expense of $3.50, 100000.
They also have the regular district
school system that ranks fourth edu
catlonally in the union.
Elder B. G. Gates is a professor of
music and ranks high as a pianist He
is a grandson of Brigham Young, Il
native of Vermont tne nations great
colonizer, who founded a common
wealth in the desert.
Elder Smellie who presides over the
work in Vermont is a man of affairs,
engaged in mining, farming and other
enterprises. He was one of the early
settlers of Idaho where he surveyed
and aided in the construction of many
of the large irrigation systems which
have caused the desert to bring forth
and blossom as the rose
His home is now in Alberta, Can,
where he has farmed extensively. The
elders have headquarters at SO st.
Paul street For the present they are
principally engaged in the country but
with the approach of winter will nold
regular services in the cities.

NATIONALS SHUT OUT
Waters Pitches his First Game and
Wins for Bennington

Joe Drumm of Cohoes a pitcher who
has played good ball with fast teams,
had an off day Saturday and his ineffi-
cheney ruined what would have other
wise been an interesting game at Nor
gan park. The Nationals from the
Troy suburb came to Bennington with
picked nine from among the best
players in the city and but for the
wildness of Drumm, both in delivering
the ball to the batsman and in throw
ing to bases, the game would have
been comparatively close. Pitcher
Drumms bases on balls during the
first four innings, of which there were
six, and his wild throws in the seventh
of which there were two, were respon-
sible for at least six of the ten runs
scored by the home team. Drumm
was given first class support by the
team behind him. the only costly err
ror being made by Shortsleeves at
second in tle third inning.
Waters, who has been playing at
short and third base during the entire
season, was given an opportunity to
demonstrate what he could do as a
boxman. He was rather nervous dur
ing the first inning but steadied down
during the remainder of the game.
Three scattered singles, as good a
pitching record as has been made on
Morgan field during the season, was
all that the Nationals realized in the
line of safe hits. Waters also had the
best batting record for the game,two
hits and a sacrifice and also had a sto-
len base to his credit.
The game was too onesided TO be
interesting. Drumm's had work in the
box so thoroughly overshadowed the
sharp fielding of the team behind him
that even the good points of the game
were unappreciated. The visitors had
two sharp double plays TO their credit
and heir outfleld work was clean.
Parmenter, who played short for
Bennington. had the only error char
ged against the home team. He took
SIX out of seven chances. Brennan
new man at centerfeld, covered his
territory perfectly and made two hits.
Carl made the best hit of the game, a
Dagger in the third which drove
