Talk ANISOMETROPIA
No. s A Difference between the two Eyes
By E. ELLIS GAYLORD, Optician

TT may not be appreciated by
l. the average person that a
difference between the two eyes
can exist and the person not
know it, but such is the case.
In the last month | have found
several that are practically blind
in one eye and was not aware
of the fact. When one eye falls
behind the other in visual &C
Guilty there are headaches, dizzi-
ness, blurring and watering of
the eyes in trying or after read
ing or close work, the poorer
eye falling farther behind the
other until it goes out of bust
ness. One eye may be near
and the other far sighted, or
astigmatic, or one may tend to
turn up, out or in, requiring too
much (nerve) force in trying to
keep them together. In cases
as above you can not pick out
glasses as you would collar
buttons or neck ties. Better
ccmt where there is a complete
equipment and see what is the
| matter.

Still After South Carolina.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The COM
nittee on immigration and naturali-
cation today considered Secretary
Straus' answer to the resolution OF
the house introduced by Mr.. Gardner,
of Massachusetts, asking for the opin-
ion as to the lawfulness Of the landing
Of the alleged contract laborers. The
opinion was expressed in committee
that the secretary's answer has been
transmitted in misrepresentation OF
the purport of the resolution. II
merely deals with the question as to
whether or not Commissioner Watson
Of South Carolina, transeressed
penal statute This is very differ
ent question:" said Mr.. Gardner to-
day, from the question whether OF
not the alleged contract laborers were
lawfully landed"
The committee will reach a decis.
ion soon as to whether it will be nee
essary to present new resolution te

REMARKABLE RAILROAD SUIT.
Title to Strip Of Land 15s Miles
Long Involved.

Williamson, Feb. 25.-A case Of
unusual interest to perhaps hundreds
Of property holders along the line of
the Southern Railway from GreenvilIe
to Columbia and including both these
cities was decided in Anderson last
Wednesday, when the Southern Rail
way won its suit against Mr.. James P.
Gossett of Williamson for the re-
covery Of a certain tract Of land oc-
cupied by him, and claimed by both
parties to the litigation.
Briefly put, the case was as fol-
lows:
The Southern Railway claims a
right of way 200 feet wide all along
its route from Greenville to Columbia
and from .Belton to Anderson, while
Mr.. Gossett denied the claim in so
far as it pertained 20 certain lands in
the town of Williamson, for which
he holds titles ante-dating the char
ter Of the Columbia and Greenville
Railroad, the predecessor Of the
Southern in these parts. This land
has been occupied by Mr.. Gossett and
his predecessors uninterruptedly and
peacefully for half century, but the
court decided that the railway COM
pany may at any time dispossess him
and, without rendering any compen-
sa1ion whatever, convert the proper
ty to its own use for railroad pur-
poses.-The State.

Washington, Feb. 22.-"I want to
congratulate the News and Courier, y
said Senator Tillman, ION its new
departure, after openly and brazenly
encouraging lawlessness and resist
ance to the State government in re-
gard to the State ldispensary law for
13 years. It's editorials in the last
few days have indicated such a revo-
luton of feeling that am bound to
praise it for returning sanity and de-
cency.
Il note that it says the tigers must
at least learn to be good and that
the taxpayers of Charleston are inter-
ested now in having the county dis
pensaries conducted in a way to
make all the money possible.
'Jt is a matter of little concern, as
far as the principle goes, whether the
liquor is purchased by the board in
Columbia or by the board in Charles
ton, provided we stop the stealing.
The sale by an officer for puolic profit
and in the interest Of sobriety and
good order is the whole issue anyway.
I am delighted to see that Col. Hemp

Order League and that the policemen
will not be Spies as the constables
have been called all these years

to resist with all their might, in the

The salton Sea.

# the Colorado River continues to-
flow into the .'Salton sink Of Lower
California, it will bring into existence
an American dead sea that will be as
large as Lake Ontario, according to
Louis C. Hill. supervising engineer Of
the United States Reclamation Ser
vice for Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia. Mr. Hill is here to report on
his investigation of the overflow, and.
is at Raleigh.
ALREADY $50 square miles Of the
bed of what was once salt sea have
been covered by the water to depth
Of 60 feet, and if the flow continues:
1000 square miles will be covered to
a depth of 270 feet he continued
.'It began a couple of years ago, when
the California Development company
dug ditch from an irrigation canal
it was building to the Colorado river
A flood come and the river turne6
away from it's usual course SOUTH
ward to the Gulf of California through
the ditch thus dug and into the sink:
Ages ago this sink contained sea-
similar to the dead sea of Palestine,
which was finally evaporated. Now
long ago I saw salt being mined from
what is now the bed Of the new lake.
Nearly 800 feet above is the shore Of
the ancient sea.
'For time the flow was stopped.

and the homes of 10000 people dis
tributed among many towns. It is-
destroying the possibilities of land
irrigation methods. AS the water has.
torn down into the sink, which is zoo
feet below the level OF the sea, it has
made an ever-deepening ravine, until
at present the water falls from a.
height of 80 feet and gives promise of
creating a second Niagara.
when the basin is filled the new
lake will be 125 miles long and 3oN
miles wide. The river will continue.
