ONCE A YEAR.!

If man owns fine watch he
is particular to keep it in fine order,
he wants it to keep accurate time for
years to come. He is anxious to pro-
tect it from injury and to have every
part work with delicate precision. If
he is sensible he selects a skillfuI
matchmaker and leaves the care of the
watch to him. At least once a year
he has him make a careful inspection
of it. He does not wait until some-
thing breaks or the watch stops, but
has it examined often to avoid such
injuries. wonder why people are not
just as particular about their eyes.
No watch in the world has such deli
cate mechanism. The finest chrOnome-
ter never worked with such exact pre-
cision. II the eyes could be carefully
examined once year great deal of
permanent injury could be averted. 1
will gladly do this for anyone, at any
time, without charge. By discovering
and correcting slight defects In time,
the necessity for wearing glasses con-
stantly may be avoided.

Speaking at waynssbsro.

On Saturday last there was larg
public gathering of Democrats at Way
nesboro to listen to speeches by Hon
Thomas 8. Martin and Mr.. j. l.. JET
fries, of Culpeper, one of the nationa
electors. This is the first time the peo
pie of that community have ever hat
the pleasure of listening to Mr.. Martin
and those who heard him heard one o
the most logical, interesting and clean
ly cut speeches of the campaign. Mr.
Martin does not pretend to be an ora
tor, he is no spelIbinder, but he has
ideas which he expresses in his OWL
way. His manner at first is slow and
seemingly hesitating, but as be warns
up his force and logic appear and the
listener goes with him not because be
wishes to possibly. but because he can.
not help himself. Mr.. Martin dealt
principally with Imperialism and
trusts. He told how step by step the
Republicans are advancing toward a
central and therefore an imperial gov
eminent. He told how difficult it is to
recruit the army. He said that when
there was a war in which the nations
honor was involved there was no diff.
ficulty in raising an army, men re-
sponded at the first call, but when a
war of conquest was inaugurated then
they would not 60. Conscriptlon
would follow and the young men OF
Virginia would be marched off to the
swamps and fetid marshes Of Luzon,
and in the north the people being rich
or would hire substitutes. He called
attention to the fact that in the ad-
minstration Of Jas. Buchannon, the
expenses of the government were 60,
millions now 1000, millions.
He said that Jefferson had declared
in the Declaration of Independence
that all just powers were derived from
the consent of the governed, that no
people should be taxed without repres-
entation. II these were truths then
they are truths now for no changed
can change an unalterable
truth. Under these claims as the right
full privileges of people, we went to
war with England and staked our
VIII ole existence on the issue. We won

The dream of McKinleyism is to
make the United States "a world pow.
r." and to do so this country must
,ver awe European nations, by show
ng it's power with terrible navy
md bustling fields Of bayonets. What,
le said. are we to gain by being a
world power. This idea is the ma
ural result of such mad cap minds as

ollow his speech all the way though
