Newbcrrv has distinguished visi-
ter in the person Of Professor NAL
colin McHardy. who is this week the

and his other relatives in NewbeTy,
Mrs. Geo. S. Mower and Mr.. Lambert
". Jones. also his cousins, Professor
McHarly being a nephew Of the late
Mrs. Lambert J. Jones.
Professor McHardy arrived in New
berry yesterday morning.
Professor McHardy is the son Of
Admiral McHardy. and grandson Of
Nelson's famous ag-lieutenant, who
suggested that the word "expects'
should be signalled instead Of Gre
lies He is one uf the most widely
known men in London, received with
cordiality in royal circles, welcomed
at clubs where his bonhomle, humour
and transparent unconventlonallty
are refreshing novelty upon the ia
ded artifciality Of town life, the
friend of half the theatrical world,
from Miss Ellen Terry downwards,
and the handy man Of limltless re-
source to every distressed creature
who wants his services. So a recent
issue of the Review Of Reviews de-
scrihes Professor Malcolm McHardy,
who is now in this city.
Professor McIardy is today one OF
the worlds most famous ocullsts. he
was intended for mechanical career,
but he disliked it, and when little
more than child he entered the med
ical career. From the age OF seven
teen, when he went to St. Georges as
a medical student, he has entirely
supported himself, often filing three
distinct posts at the same time. Pro-
; fessor McHardy in addition to being
great oculist, is also a good archl-
tcct. having drawn up all the plans OF
the Royal Eve hospital. He IS also
rood mariner. decent carpenter
and a fair lrau@htsman. he has IN
vented il self-re"istering instrument
for accurately and swiftly measuring
the field of vision. and it is one 81 the
indispensable accessories of eye sur
gerry today.
Professor McHardy is popular IN
his native land. The reason IS not
! far to seek. 1t has been written OF
him that "somc years ago. whilst
i forming one of committee to inquire
into the sight Of railway servants, he
found that to arrive at correct conciu-
sionS it Was necessary for him to tide
upon engines amidst smoke, rain and
snow. and did not shrink from dong
so.'' ~ man who has not only an
enormous private practice,' it is sta
ted in an account Of his life, "but
could double and treble it if he so de-
sired. achieves bold, brilliant opera
lions that are the envy and adm1ra-
ton of less devoted men, is not likely
to be considered popular amongst his
professional brothers, for whose de-
cor,m and trade unions he cares not
onc rap.'' Professor McHardy IS
man who appeals to men: because OF
his success in a noble work. Human
tv-that is the keynote Of Professor
McHardy's success and Of his great
popularity.
When seen yesterday morning Dr.
a1cHardy talked pleasantly Of New
berry and of her people. DR.. Nc
Hardy's last visit to Newberry was
thirty years ago. He expects to re-
main here for ten days or two weeks
He is seeking rest and recreation,
away from the cares and worries and
heavy responsibilities of a profession"
al life. and he says that he has been
looking forward to his visit here with
much pleasant anticipation.
