ZOE TIE LABOR TOTERS

We do not believe in strikes. Even
when successful, the effort has cost
more than the result has gained. On
the other hand, we do not believe in
grinding down labor and forcing the
acceptance Of a pittance for compen-
sation. But here is an item that la
boring men will do well to remember
on National election day. Mr. John
son, who is a free trade cotton spin
ner, of Cohoes, while defending the
mills Bill said:
"When the employees are. brought
down to working for low wages, as
they are in Europe, they will not be
able to strike. They will have 10
keep right at work, and we shall have
no more trouble with them"
That is it. European free trade is
the doctrine they preach, and the re-
duction Of American labor to the lev
el of European paupers, is what they
desire. Mr.. johnson and his asso
ciates will bear watching by the labor
voters.

We fully agree with the remarks OF
the Shephcrdthwn Register that the
state convention to be held at Hunt
ington is a mighty long way from the
Eastern Panhandle, and it is not at all
improbable that the boys from the
western end of the state will run
things pretty much to suit them
selves. On the other hand the re
publicans will have to travel to Char
lesion from the Eastern Panhandle
with the same expectation Of being
chewed up.

Our carpet trade is far ahead of
that of any former season. In fact,
our sales have far surpassed our ex-

larger stock than any former year,
and we are selling them on very
short profits as we are determined to
work up big carpet trade, so if you
are thinking of getting carpet this

WANTED
TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES.

Agency for the LeMare's Celebrated
Rock Crystal Spectacles 81 Eye Glasses.
Few matters deserve more care than the
selection of help to sight, because if the
glasses are not scientifically correct, the
irreparable and ON the other hand unless
the lenses are properly adjusted to the vi
sion. the wearer will risk becoming unable
to see without them altogether.
LeMare's Spectacles are the best that
science has vet been able 10 produce, be-
ing perfectly colorless, have no eprismatic
rays common to the glasses in use. The
core or the centre of the glasses come d1-
rectly in front of the eye, and consequently
do not tire the eye, but produce clear and
distinct vision as in the natural healthy
sight. their lasting qualities being such
that frequent change is unnecessary. With
a view of adjusting the lenses to the re-
quirements of the eye, the sight is measur-
ed by a new system, which enables anyone
to fit accurately, and which has by eXper-
fence proved the most unerring guide.
1t is now clearly proved that by the use
of scientifically manufactured spectacles,
impaired sight may to some extent be re-
stored, and in all cases departing vision
may be checked, while, as is well known,
the ordinary spectacles bring about con-
trary effect. The undersigned intends
making it a speciality. and with that view
has obtained the very latest and most i'm
proved spectacles. A trial solicited.
