A. X. Hawkes.. the famous Atlanta
Optician, direct from the home office of
this great Optical House, or one OF his
practical Opticians, will remain at the
store of his agent, Hill-Orr Drag Co.,
for a days only, beginning Dec. 10th.
This will give the citizens of Anderson
and vicinity a rare opportunity OF hay
ing their eyesight tested by one Of the
most renowned as well as reliable OPP
ticians in the United States.
Mr.. Hawkes. has all the modern ap-
pliances for the. adjustment OF Spec
tacles and Eye Glasses to the eye.
There is no 0ptician in the United
States who enjoys the confidence OF the
people more than Mr.. Hawkes.. His
name is a familiar word throughout q
section of the country inhabited by
over twenty-five millions Of people:
Mr.. Hawkes. has probably fitted glasses
to the eyes of more people OF national
and international fame than any other
optician living. His wonderful success
is due to his superior grade OF glasses,
and to the confidence the people have
in his ability as a practical Optician.
This firm was established in 1870, near
ly thirty years ago.

The good people Of Denver kept last
Thursday with feasting and giving OF
thanks for the many mercies which has
crowned the year 1899. None in our
midst lack the necessaries of life,
nearly all have its comforts and some
have its luxuries. The sick have beeH
restored to health, the short cotton
crop has caused better prices, and there
are many things for which we should
be thankful.

birds they killed. Mrs. Elrod is noted
for her elegantly cooked and served
dinners. From the delicious roast
turkey to the delightful white fruit
cake it was perfect. Her friends who
were not able to attend the dining had
the pleasure Of sampling the feast

History is filled to the brim with
1awless acts, committed in new min
ing districts, and in most cases the
governing authorities have been con-
tent to let the miners work out their
own salvation by vigilance committees
and the summary decisions of Judge
Lynch. But right from the fall of the
flag Canada is determined to attend
to this work and it is an experiment
which old miners are prone to look
upon with considerable wonder. They
can see nothing ahead but gallons OF
trouble for tue mounted police.
In the Klondike there is more than
| the natural antipathy of the "bad
man." for law and order as producer
of outbreaks. Men who have been
there, say that the sectional feeling
between Canadians and Americans is
getting fiercer all the time, particular
| ly since the recent passage of the
revenue laws by the dominion gov
eminent There will certainly be
many attempts by the miners to sneak
across the boundary to avoid making
payments, and as the boundary lines
are still unsettled, this fact alone
opens up many avenues for disputes
which are certain to be settled by the
gun.
Dawson City is beyond the shadow
of doubt in Canadian territory as the
Washington government comedies it to
be 100 miles east of the 141st meridian
which is the boundary line. There are
hundreds of claims, however, in close
proximity to the line and here is where
the mounted police will have the most
trouble The differences between the
lines set by Washington and Canada
vary from 61a feet to 800 feet in the
gold district, and as the mounted po-
lice will of course, enforce the Cana
dian idea, and the Americans stand
like rock up on the Washington idea,
some pretty international scraps are
looked for by those who ought to know
Canada's feeling towards the Amer
lean is quite clearly shown by the re-
cent utterances of dominion papers,

NEW YORK'S PATHETIC CHARITY
The Night Refuge for Friendless Wo-
men.

Go into any station of a busy police
precinct and on the wall, by the side
of the sergeant's desk, is big placard
announcing in fat black lettering that
the Night Refuge for Friendless Wo-
men is to be found at No. la West
Fifteenth street. The placard is the
first object that strikes the eye of the
homeless creature as she opens the
door of the station, and she reads these
words: "Open all night for the recep-
ton of those who need succOr. No
questions asked, no cards or letters
necessary to secure sheILer and food"
con a winter night We'll sometimes
have more than a dozen women come
here for shelter. We just point to the
placard, and they read it and go right
out, and we know where they'll find a
bed There was one woman, I remem-
Der. came into the house during that
bitter storm two or three weeks ago
no coat, boots worn in holes, nothing
but a thin cotton dress and a battered
old hat: face all fallen Unlocked as
if she hadn't eaten anything in days;
starved with the cold, weak for want
of food-just the usual sort. She was
going to ask me something when she

favoring the exclusion of the American
miner in retaliation for our alien labor
law, and at the same time exulting in
the reputation of the mounted police
as killers
AS the brunt of the whole trouble
will fall upon the shoulders of these
men, the mounted police will be the
dominating figures of interest in
| the Klondike. One hundred and fifty
of them and $50 horses have been sent
i into the gold district and this number
is counted upon to be sufficiently great
to quell any disturbance.
! Three ourths of the 1,100 men in
| the service are well educated and
nicely reared, but they are not tender
feet by any means. Many of them are
the younger sons of English families
of political and social eminence, young
men who have gone the face of dis
sipation at a tremendous gait and who
have adopted this heroic road to re-
form Others have entered the ser
have remained in it, fascinated by the
wild freedom and this rough life I'M
fettered by the conventionalties.
That the force is an efficient one is
proved by the single fact that, small
as it is, it maintains the law in ter
ritory of 100000 square miles, or from
the boundary line on the south to a
point 300 miles north and from the
east to the Rocky mountains. Now
it's limits have been extended SO as to
include the Yukon mining fields.
, The headquarters of the force is 10
Gated at Regina, but there are fourteen
stations scattered between the Rockies
and the east in charge of commissioned
officers of whom there are 6fty-two in
ALL There is a fifteenth station now
being established in the kIondike re-
gion. In addition to these stations
there are innumerable shanties scat
tered over the entire country where
man and horse can seek shelter
at night Many SIMILAR shanties are
now being built in the Klondike dis
trict as the men will be kept on the go
