Good service is remembered long
after the price is forgotten. Last year
we fitted over Coo people in Butler with
our glasses and guarentee all for two
years, but so far there has culy been
changes to make in FIVE pairs. if there
are any more do not hesitate 10 call on
us. OF course no one is perfect but it
is never necessary for Us to change
more than per cent. of the glasses.
Walter Mock, 719 Centre Ave-,
son of Mr. and Mrs. - Mock, says:
Zone year ago we took our son to Mr..
Mrs Mahafey; we had tried for several
months to have his eyes fitted SO he
could 90 to school, by others, bat failed
to get any relief from any one until we
went to Mahaffeys, but from that time
on ne has never had any trouble with
his eyes and we can cheerfully recon-
mend any parents who have children
whose eyes need any attention to Mr..
ard Mrs. Mahaffey.

REPUBLICANS ARE
 MUCH STIRRED UP
PUBLICITY OF AGENT M'NElL'S MISSION HERE SAID TO CREATE CONSERVATION = CHAIRMAN THOMPSON MAKES DENIAL.

The publication in The Age Herald yes terday morning of the statement that R. H. McNeil, as agent for National Chair man Cortelyou of the republican party. was in Alabama collecting campaign funds from federal office holders. created consternation in local republican circles, and the leaders, in caucus, were wonder ing how the facts had leaked out.
 Some of them were rather evasive in man Thonpso who had accompanied Agent McNeil to Montgomery returned on noon train, and immediately is- sued typewritten denial Mr. Thompson said that the report in circulation that MT. McNsil was levying an assessment of ten per cent upon tho office holders on behalf of Chairman Cortelyou was false, but he would not discuss the pro- ceedings of the caucus of Wednesday or deny or confirm that a collection was taken up. In connection with his writ ten denial MT. Thompson said:
 Tt is true that MT. Mc4,eil is in Alaba- ma looking over the political situation and has expressed himself as we'll pleased with the outlook. He says that in no southern state has the campaign pro- gressed apparently more satisfactorily than in Alabama. He expressed himself as being delighted with the effort being made by Chairman Long of the campaign committee, which is being conducted viz orously along educational lines. and also his efforts to keep representative speak, CTS in the field, and in circulating repub- lican literature in every hamlet in the state"
 It was stated yesterday that some of ing Wednesday who declined to contrib ute to the campaign fund have already taken. steps to call upon Chairman Cor telyou to know if he really demands the money.
 The discussion of the matter was not confined to republican circles. but its startling nature caused wide comment by all who read the paper. Democrats seemed surprised that the chairman for the one-time champion of civil service reform was now permitted to call upon the office holders for campaign money. They figured that on an average of 10 per cent from all who resolve salaries of upwards of $500 would bring the as- sessment in Alabama up to something like s50O0.
 q we if Agent McNeil is collecting upon a per centage salary basis unused leading democrat. If such be the case. and he has been assigned all the southern states, it is nice. fat job."
