County Auditor.

MIR. j. B. Haltiwanger was the

his audience as Friends, saying
that he believes the people are his
friends for they have for twelve
years elected him auditor of
Edgefeld county. de said that
there was a rumor afoat to the
effect that the discrepancy in the
treasurer's office was chargeable
to his Office, which he empbati-
cally denied. Stands ready at all
times TO give tie people any in-
formation they desire. Mr.. Haiti
wanger stated that the grand jury
committee did not fad the dis
crepancy in th treaslrsr's Office, as

county treasurer had previously
discovered it and reported it at
once to the Comptroller General,
asking that official TO corae over
and check up the Office.
Mr.. H. w. Dobey, also q candi-
date for auditor, was next intro
duced. He was very grateful TO the
people of the Red Hill section for

people. MIR. Dobey pied, ed him

ty should he bo chosen on the 2Slh

Hon. B. E. Nicholson.

B. E. Nicholson, who also stands
for reelection. He spoke of the
great need of men in public life
who are fearless and honest; men
who advocate the views that theil
hearts dictate and whc have the
courage to stand by their convic.
tions.
Mr.. Nicholson believes it to be
the duty of every citizen to study
The liquor question, which is the
main issue, not only in the coun
ty but the state also. He declared
emphatically and unequivocally
for prohibition, and will work for
it, but believes the people of each
county should be allowed to decide
the question for themselves. Op.
poses the dispensary because the
traffic is harmful whether con-
Quoted by the state or individual.
More damage, said he, has been
wrought to Edgefeld county
through the liquor traffic than
through any other cause. Mr..
Nicholson urged the people to set
tie this matter upon higher
plane than that of dollars and
cents, stating that during the most
prosperous years of the dispenSary
the school children in this county
only received 95 cents each per
annum fromi the profits and that
during less prosperous years the
amount each received was only
IS cents.
Mr.. Nicholson says that he
favors good roads and good schools,
aad thst the people can get them
by raising their taxes. He urged
the voters not to consider men hut
the principles they advocate,
which will live long after the men
have passed from the stage of
action. Has always guarded the
peoples interests, and last session,
as a member of the ways and
means committee, fought extrava-
CANT appropriations.

MAKING SPECTACLE Lenses.

In the manufacture of spectacle
lenses the bit of glass to be formed in
to a lens is fastened by means of pitch
to q small block of hard rubber, so that
it may be held. 1t is ground by being
pressed against a rapidly revolving
cast iron disk on a vertical spindle, and
with curvature equal and opposite 10

This is the trough tool'' and is kept

eral grades of emery are used in sue
cession. changing from coarse to fine
as the grinding proceeds.
The glass is then transferred to the
fine tool made of brass and COM
pared from time to time to a standard
curve in order to insure accuracy In
this second grinding the abrading ma
terial is rough.
Finally the lens is polished by being
pressed against a piece of cloth pow
dered with rouge and fastened to the
rotating tool. The glass is now loosen
ed from it's block, turned over and the
reverse side of the lens ground. When
this has been accomplished the lens is
placed on a leather cushion and held
firmly in position by a rubber tipped
arm While a diamond glass cutter pass
ing round an oval guide traces a simi-
lar oval on the glass below The SUI
perfiuous glass is removed by steel
pincers, and the rough edges are ground
smooth on Scotch wheels.

The theosophic education is not so
much a something which is impaired
in the manner of ordinary instruction
as it is the gradual liberation of the
unwholesome forces which check d
growth which should be spontaneous

school life are not neglected, but they
ares made to blend tremendously with
the truth of theosophy. Teachers of
proved and recognized ability are en-
