CNtOrNctS.

Almost every week 1 find one or
more of my patrons who have cataract
developed to greater or less degree.
Usually both eyes are effected, occasion
ally only one. Of course nothing but
an operation will prevent eventual
blindness. Even after an operation
vision is seldom more than two-fifths as
good as formerly. While this is the
only alternative in cases which have de-
veloped into real cataract, nine times
out of ten they could have been pre-
vented if taken in time They are al
most always caused by prolonged eye
strain. The practice of doing without
glasses when they are needed, or wear
ing glasses that do not fit they eyes pro-
duces more cataracts than all other
causes combined. 1t is vastly better to
devote a few moments time now to find
ing out whether you need glasses or
not than to spend a whole lifetime of
regret after waiting too long. will
gladly examine your eyes at any time,
and will charge you nothing for consul
tation and advice.

WILLING TO OBEY THE LAW.
People Generally Observe the War
Revenue Act.


Throughout the country there is a gen.
eral disposition among the people to obey
the letter and spirit of the war revenue
law. Revenue Agent Charles Scheffel so
stated to a Morning News reporter yester-
day.
Mr.. Scheffel has his headquarters in At
lanta, and his district embraces Georgia.
Florida and Alabama. To compel, where
ever necessary, the enforcement of the
war revenue law is his especial province.
''I have been making tours of inspection
in three states" said Mr. Scheffel, "and
1 have yet to find case of wiIful violation
of the law. Failures TO observe it's provis-
ions are numerous, but they have been
the result of ignorance and not of intent.
When attention has been called to them.
they have been PROMPTLY rectifed."
Most noticeable has been the almost
universal disregard of the Inheritance tax.
which seems to have escaped entirely the
attention of the people. The law taxes
personal estates of over $4,000. and re-
quires executors and administrators to
make returns to the department. and pay
the tax before they pay the legacies One
estate in Montgomery, Ala, amounted to
1878 900, upon all of which the inheritance
tax was due I have found three in this
city. The law taxes personally alone;
real estate is exempt"
Mr.. Scheffel commended highly the work
of Deputy Collector Theodore Basch. who
is in charge Of the field work In this city
and section. 80 well has Mr.. Basch per-
formed his duty" said Mr.. Scheffel, chat
I have found my work here very light
His thorough understanding of the law
and the rigorous compliance with its pro-
visions he exacts of those upon whom it
operates have smoothed the path of in
spection. If all deputies were equally
competent and vigllant, the government
could very wen afford to dispense with
my services"

PAID THEM 5 CENTS TO STRIP.
Then Photographers Took Little
DRrEies Pictures,

H. Hill and T. F. Young. two photo
graphers hailing from New York, are un-
der arrest at the police barracks. They
are charged on the docket with violating
the city ordinance that forbids nude pic
lures being taken.
Mounted Officer Cronin arrested the men
yesterday afternoon. He learned that they
had been taking the pictures at a house
at the corner of Sims and West Boundary
streets. Little darkies were paid five
cents to strip and have their pictures taxi
en-. 1t Is supposed these pictures were to
be labelled Alligator Bait" and so dis
posed of.
The Photographers paraphemalia was
also taken in charge by the police. The
men will be given a trial to-day. A num-
Der of witnesses have been secured. Their
offense is against the state laws also 1t
is said, and the case may go beyond that
of the police court.

RULING HURTS BUSINESS.
Ccnsignments for Canteens in Cuba
Must Pay Duty.

The wholesale grocers of Savannah have
been doing, until recently, a large bust
ness with the reginental canteens, or post
exchanges, in Cuba. Goods have been car
ried On the transports free of freight and
admitted into the island free of duty. The
traffic had assumed more than respectable
proportions.
Several days ago Assistant Secretary Of
War Meikejohn issued a rule prohibiting
the admittance Of goods consigned to the
post exchanges into Cuba without the
payment OF duty.
Morning News reporter saw several
merchants, who have been most promi-
nently identified with this business, yester-
day IN regard to the effect OF the ruling.
Most of them were averse to talking upon
the SUBJECT. One leading grocer said that
the ruling had been the result OF the sale
or groceries and other articles by the can
teens 70 civilians, creating thus an unfair
competition with the merchants in CUBA,
to whom the trade with its citizens right
tully belongs. So far as Savannah mer-
chants are concerned, the business has
been virtually killed. for when those TO
whom goods are consigned are compelled
to pay freight and duty, the merchants
here cannot afford to meet the prices of
the large grocery firms in Havana. One
of these has a capital of s2OO0OOOO and
buys its goods by the cargo, instead of
by the car.
My firm has now on hand" the mer-
chant continued, "orders for goods to the
amount of $4,000. We are not able to FIJI
them, because the orders were provisional
upon the shipment of the goods free of
freight and duty. The assistant secre-
tarys ruling has diverted many thousands
of dollars from this city and the coast
cities generally"
1t is believed that there is a movement
on foot to have the Objectionable ruling
revoked, possibly by means Of stringent
regulations for the conduct OF the can
teens.

GONE TO HIS LAST HARBOR.

east. Capt. Barker's health became i'm
paired few years ago, and about two
years ago he was relieved from his du-
ties by the Pilots Association. He had
been confined to his home for some time
before his death. His funeral took place
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon from his
late residence. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. Dr. Fair of the Independent
Presbyterian Church Capt. Barker was a
native of England, where he was born
ffty-nine years ago but the greater part
of his life was spent in Savannah. For
thirty years he was a pilot on the Sa-
vannah river. During the civil war he
went to England with Capt. Marmelstein
of this city to go on board the Confeder-
ate cruiser Alabama, but was not so for
tunate as his companion, and missed the
brilliant cruise of the celebrated ship.
Capt. Barker lost his wife and daughter
in the yellow fever epidemic of 1876, both
dying at the same time. He was brave
and efficient pilot and a kind-hearted
friend. The shipping in the harbor had
its colors at half-mast in honor of his
memory.
A splendid floral anchor, presented by
the Pilots Association, was laid on his
coffin. The pall-bearers We're all members
of the association, and were Capts. w. Y.

time this winter has interfered greatly
with the countys road work.
1t is not the direct effect of the weather
that has prevented road work, but the fact
that the gravel pits Of the Augusta Gravel
Company are fun of water as the result
of the weather, and have been for some
tune. The consequence is that The gravel
company is unable TO furnish gravel to
the County Commissioners. Because OF
this fact the county has been unable TO
take the work of surfacing the Augusta
road from the four to the seven-mi.e post /,
upon which it had been expected to begin
work some time since.
Dale avenue is also needing repairs
which cannot be made until gravel is OBJ
tanned. The Augusta Gravel Company has
agreed to give the county six carloads of
gravel on account of the claim made lv
the county that some of the material used
on Dale avenue was not up to standard.
