NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-There will always
be difference Of opinion as TO whether the
athlete OF twenty years ago was superior
10 the athlete at present. The old timer
will argue that the performers in his day
were superior. He will tell you how the
old-time Splinter ran 100 yards in O0:94s
with a standing start II he had mastered
the crouch position, how much faster he
could have gone. lie will also tell you that
IN the past ten years only two men have
Travelled the century in 009h in winning the
american championships, when in the olden
days some one did better than evens every
week.
Also how man could make records in the
spirits, then turn around and establish a
middle distance mark. He will finish up
by telling you that the contestants Of today
have better facilities for training. that in
the eighties the clubs had no coaches, train
ing tables, or rubbers; that the athletes
trained and massaged themselves how the
chap Of today has all the up-to-date ad-
vantages and should be superior.
The athletes of twenty years ago-J,
owen, Lon Myers. Wendell Baker, e. c..
Carter, Willie Day and w. G. George
were phenomena, but time will always
show an advancement. For instance, ten
years later Bernie WeIeTS IH6 bpTlnlS

some of this records to fall, but they all
win in time. and as new records are
made others will replace them.

play at Southampton to see him come out
near the top.
Many ReversaIs of Form.
Reversals Of form have been so frequent
through the last few weeks as to cause
wonderment as to the reasons and causes
Wallace r. Johnson, the young Pennsyl-
vanian, who won the ranking Of third last
year, is certainly far below form, as fhs
result OF his illness through the winter.
His game Is lacking in it's old-time snap
and aRgressiveness. His ambition and his
courage have carried him along in his tour
nament play, but II is all too evident that
he can hardly accomplish more than keep
his game UP as far as this season is con-
oerned. Raymond D. Little, Robert lie

A BIG DEAL WHICH MEANS
MUCH TO LYNCHB U RG~
AND THE ENTIRE SOUTH

An agreement has been entered into
whereby Craddock- Terry Company will
acquire controlling interest in the Geo.
D. Witt Shoe Company, January LIST.
This deal is in no sense "a combination
in restraint of trade" but is very import
ant move looking to the further develop
ment of the shoe industry of Lynchburg.
The Craddock- Terry Company and the
Geo. D. Witt Shoe Company have made
wonderful progress in shoe manufacturing,
but in order to get the best results, in order
to produce the best shoes at the lowest prices,
shoes Of each grade and kind should be
manufactured in a separate factory, and
by consolidating the factories of both com
panies under practically one management,
making in each factory the grade and kind
of shoes which can be produced to the best
advantage, it will enable both companies to
make great improvement in the quality
and material saving in the cost of the
shoes sold by both Craddock-T Terry Com
pany and the Geo. D. Witt Shoe Company,
and will naturally increase the rapidly
growing demand for Lynchburg made
shoes.
Craddock- Terry Company have long en-
joyed the reputation of being the largest
manufacturers of shoes in the South, but
this deal puts them in class with the
largest manufacturers in their line in the
world, and it makes Lynchburg big factor
in the worlds commerce, 80 far as shoes
are concerned.
While Geo. D. Witt retires from the act
i've management of the business of which he
is now president, he will leave his money
in this business in the shape of preferred
stock, and the Geo. D. Witt Shoe Com
panv will continue, as heretofore, a corpor-
alton separate and distinct from Craddock-
Terry Company, retaining most of the men
who are now at the head of fthe various de-
,partments. and practically all of the trav-
elling men. under the general supervision
of T. NJ. Terry, as President.
Under this new deal, all of the shoe fac-
tories of Lynchburg Except one) will be
under practically the same management,
which means that more shoes will be manu-
factured in Lynchburg next year than ever
before in fact, Craddock-Terry Company
alone will manufacture more shoes than all
of their Southern competitors combined,
and Lynchburg will stand in class by her.
self, as tThe Shoe Market of the South" ]"
and one Of the greatest shoe markets of
the world.
This announcement will be of great in
terest to the shoe trade all over the United
States, as both of these progressive manu-
facturers enjoyed patronage in almost
every State in the Union, having enlarged
the territory in which they operate year
by wear, until now Lvnchburg made shoes
find ready market in the largest cities Of
the South, East, North and West.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube IS
indamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, DEAFNESS is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, healing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs
