DROWN KD IN WATKRKK Lancaster Pharmacist l/0*e? Life While Hunting at Benvw Oeek (Tuesday's i^ncaslei Now*) Lancaster wa.<? shocked and deeply distressed Friday night when word reached the city from Liberty Hill thot Tom Doster had lost his life on ? hunting trip ut the mouth of Beaver creek during the afternoon. The news spread ranidly ^and soon groups of people could hi' seen dis cussing the tragedy, the facts of which were not available until a late hour Friday night. The facts and circumstance* sur rounding the unfortunate affair are substantially these as reported. sieve C. Williams and Dr. Thomas K. I^oster both of X*neaster, who were great friends and devotees to hunting and fishing, had gone down to the Catawba river a few miles be low Liberty Hill, where Beaver creek joins the river, to hunt, ducks. The men had left town early Friday morning, taking with them a steel boat, small detachable motor, a life j belt and other equipment. Dr. Doster had boarded the frail craft, about U o'clock and was engaged in setting out decoys along the shore. At the place where the men were preparing to shoot ducks the river is approxi mately a mile wide, caused by the hack-water from the Southern Power Company's dam. The river at this point is very deep- in some places and in others full of logs, snags, stumps and other obstructions. Dr. Doster had* gone down the river to drive the dueks, while Mr. Williams remained in the blind on shore. Several hun dred yards from where Dr. Doster was engaged in the drive he could hear the boat, but could not see it. The wind was brisk, whipping the water into rough swells and about this time the boat appeared to have capsized in the choppy waters. Dr. Doster was wearing heavy hunting togs and a life belt. He was able t<> get hold of the overturned boat. Mr. Williams, being unable to swim, could not ko lo his assistance, so he called to Dr. Doster to hold on until he could come to his rescue, In the meantime Dr. Doster attempted to swim to a log nearby in an effort to gain its support. On grasping the log it sank, plunging Dr. Doster's head down into the water and was not seen any more by Mr. Williams. He therefore hurried to nearby dwell-!

Jones and his son and a Mr. Smith, an employee of the Southern Power Company. They accompanied MV. Williams to the nceno of the tragedy and assisted in recovering the body. Efforts at resuscitation were made but thi< unfortunate man had been in the water too long to be revived. Relative* were advised by telephone from Liberty Hill, the information reaching here about 7 o'clock, and the Mac key company's ambulance left immediately to meet the body and bring it to the undertaking parlors where an inquest was held and the remains embalmed. Mr. Williams is grieved and dis tressed beyond expression by the sud* denneas and sadness of the outcome of theii excursion and by reason of his inability to render his friend ef fective assistance. Dr. Doster had resided in Lancas ter since 190fi, coming hero to accept a position wth tho J. V. Mackey Co. Later he attended the medical col lege of Virginia, at Richmond, where he graduated in pharmacy and in 1909 the Lancaster Drug Company was organized and he became manager and prescription druggist in charge. He was associated in the drug busi ness with, the late R. C. McManus and in 191G was married to Miss Pearl McManus, second daughter of Dr. McManus, by whom he is sur vived. He also leaves two young.

GOODALE JEWELER PROFITS FROM POULTRY IUk Return* Come From Henn That Lay In Winter, Bay a Hall J Clemson College, Nov. 17.-~The big profits come from hen# that lay egg* in the winter. Last week according to the New York market quotation*, the selected extra white shell eggs were Helling at eighty-five to eighty eight cents per dozen. It takes around ten cent* per dozen to ship white eggs to* the New York market from vSouth Carolina, this would leave about seventy-five cents to make a profit from. The New . York egg market may go a little higher than this, but these prices cannot be ex pected the year around, points out I). H. Hall, extension poultry hus bandman. A good average of forty cents per dozen for our eggs the year around will result in a profit from poultry. However, we canno't average forty cents if the hens' won't lay winter egg?. We must get these winter egg? if we want best results and a profit from poultry. Many people have the idea that poultry^ is a get-rich-quick scheme. If yoX? are starting in> the poultry business with .any such idea please get it out of your head. The poultry business requires 305 days each phase yet all three are interlaced and all make toward success with poultry. The first of these phases is the recognition of the fact that the poul try business requires 368 days each year of a man's t-ime. In leap%years it requires 3(56. Poultry cannot and will not thrive under haphazard feed ing and care. The next thing is to recognize the fact that the profits from each hen are small. One dollar per year is a fair profit for the aver age farmer and he would be satisfied with this. The last phase is knowl edge of the poultry business. In starting into anything we should study it from every angle and try to obtain a knowledge of every phase of the business. SCRAPS AND FACTS interesting Notes (fathered From Many Sources.
