The Parkfe1d-San Attonic

twelve miles south of the

Had these properties not
been patented they would
have been drilled long ago.

the general idea, according to Secretary;
A T. Macdonald. of the Commercial

the board of trade, is to make Kentucky
the almost exclusively supreme liquor

Both organizations by overwhelming
majorities passed resolutions against

SPEC" PEDDLERS
DAY IS PASSING

That the old days are passing in Georgia
when a person can buy at grocery
store from a show case, q pair OF eye
glasses that would At him or his grand
father equally well, is forecast by the
bill to regulate the practice OF optometry
that Judge J. E. Burch, OF Dublin, rep
resentative from Laurens county in the
legislature, will introduce in the general
assembly on Monday.
Following close upon the adjournment
in Atlanta last week of the annual con-
vention Of the National Association of
Opticians, this bill carries added inter-
est. At that convention for the first time
in Georgia was emphasized the meaning
of the new word "optometrist, that has
grown to define the eye practitioner who
has not studied medicine and therefore is
not an NJ. D. and cannot call himself an
oculist; but who is a specialist In fitting
glasses to eyes. At that convention, too,
the public OF this state first learned OF
the comparatively recent movement for
the regulation of this special practice in
a number of states of the union-a num-
Der that 1t is said is constantly growing
more complete. The New York laws, par
ticularly were told of. They require
man who would now fit eyeglasses in
that state to first study that subject
alone for two years.
The bill which Judge Burch VIII INTRO
duce is intended to place Georgia upon
the roll OF those states which have mod
ernized their former tolerant ideas of the
spectacle-peddler. Being somewhat tech
meal in its purport, though statewide in
Its application, 1t will probably be the
only bill of its nature introduced at this
session OF the assembly.
The bill OF Judge Burch provides for
the creation of a state board of optrome-
try, consisting of five members to be ap-
pointed by the governor, and self-support-
ing through fees. Licenses will be is
sued by the board to graduates OF OPTIC
metrical institutions or to practitioners
of a years experience at the time that
the law is passed the former class being
required to pass examinations before the
board. After the first certificate, each an
nual certificate will cost g. Each certiti-
cate viii bear the photograph OF the OPP

feet of the law, V 1t passes, WIN evil
IDENTIFY be to limit the practice of all OPP
tometrists in the state to single counties,
for the bill requires, registration in the
Offices OF superior court clerks in the
counties where the practitioners desire to
operate. Certain grounds upon which
certificates may be refused or revoked
are specified such. as contag ious or In
fictitious disease. born by the applicant
or holder of a certificate. And certain
penalties are provided for violation or
evasion Of the law. The bill specifically
will not apply to duly licensed physicians
nor 10 persons, who neither practice nor
profess optrometry, but who sell glasses
on prescriptions. s--.---

GOOD ROADS MEET
~, LARGELY ATTENDED

SANDERSVILLE, Ca June 8.-Early
yesterday morning the people of this and
adjoining counties. began 10 gather here
for the purpose of attending the good
roads convention that had been planned
and advertised for some time to take
place during chautauqus week.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Mayor A. w.
Evans called the convention to order at
the Sandersville auditorium, and after a
short and interesting tslk welcomed all
visitors and introduced the following
speakers, all of whom responded in a
very enthusiastic manner, advocating the
question Of good roads from every stand
point. .. no..
First of the speakers was Mr.. Phillips,
of Jefferson county. He was one OF the
most enthusiastic advocates of the ques-
ton, and said that he believed that in the
course of a very few years most Of the
travel would be done on the public high
ways, In electric cars, instead Of the rail-
road
Mr.. McGregor, of warrenton. was the
next to give a talk, advocating good
roads, on the principle of higher educa-
ton. He believed this, above all, would
do more to bring the people closer togeth-
err and thus make the educational advant-
ages In the rural districts better.
Mr.. Sibley, Of Milledgeville, was espe-
cially interested and believed that the in
tercounty roads would not only put
friends and neighbors closer together, but
would enhance the value of real estate
and put the different counties in closer
touch with each other. t-.
Rev Hill, of Louisville, expressed him
self along the lines that good roads
would not only stop the migration to-
wards town, but would also cause more
and better country homes to- be built.
After the speaking, all visitors present
were invited to the city hall to an old
fashioned barbecue, where arrangements
had been made to feed all present.
Immediately after dinner the visiting
commissioners were, asked to meet our
county commissioners in conference at
the mayors office, for the purpose of dis
cussing the ways and means OF building
the proposed good road from Atlanta to
Savannah.
Promptly at 2:30 p. m. all automobiles
met at the school building, where a pro-
cession was formed. and after parading
the principal streets of this place, went
to Tennille, and from there back through
the eastern part of the county, covering
one of the best farming sections in this
part of the state, reaching here in time
for the chautauqua exercises in the af-
ternoon.
There were between thirty and forty
machines in the parade, and represented
all of the adjoining counties.

IN DAMAGE SUIT

MOBILE, Ala, June 5.--Last night the
jury in the detinue suit OF the Southern
Hardware and Supply company against
Frank Cazalas, ex-sheriff, returned a YER
dict awarding the money sued to Fleet
wood Lester. the amount being $3.50. This
closes one OF the most sensational suits
in the south. --- ..-
The money which Lester was paid by
Hardaway Young, Lester alleges, was due
him for stock in the firm, he making re-
peated efforts TO obtain the money from
the stock The evidence showed that
Young was held at the point Of a revolver
and gave a check taking stock in return
for the money. The check was cashed
by Mrs Lester, who. while her husband
held Young at the Lester home. went to
the office and got the check cashed and
got an employee of the firm to go to the
bank and Identify her. The last grand
fury failed to indict Lester, and the suit
mentioned above is for the recovery o.
the $500 in the hands OF ex-sheriff Frank
.Cazalas. ~

NEGRO FIREMEN WILL
REMAIN ON GEORGIA ROAD

The arbitration board of three which
has been sitting here for the past week
to determine the differences Of the Order
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
and the Georgia road, handed down it's
decision Saturday night at midnight.
Three OF the demands of the flremen are
granted, three are denied.
The Georgia road shall have the right TO
continue in it's use of negro flremen, but
must pay them the same wage that is
paid to white hremen.
No seniority of white over negro f1remen
is granted. +t
The demands granted are:
That flremen shall have three years
experience before being promoted to the
position of engineer. g.
That hostlers shall receive their present
rate of pay. assistant hostlers shall be
classed as yard f1remen, and extra fire.
men shall receive hostlers pay when
serving as hostlers. itl7 -
That nen-promotableg men shall not
block promotion. Do. SO = ~ af.. t,e. b.,
The demands denied, ,are:a.s-- ..
That the Georgia road and it's terml-
nails shall not use negroes as locomotive
firemen.
That firemen when hired shall be placed
in freight yards, or hosting service and
senior, white f1remen shall have prefer
ence of engines and runs.
That firemen shall not be required ia
throw switches and flag crossings except
in case of emergency.
The effect of the second denial is to
refuse seniority TO white over negro fire.
men.
The finding Of the board is signed by
Congressman Thomas w. Hardwick Hill
airy A. Herbert and Chancellor David c..
Barrow. t
Congressman Hardwick dissents from
that part of the first award which allows
the use Of negro firemen to continue on
the Georgia road. but concurs in that
part which directs that negro iremen
shall hereafter be paid the same wage
that is paid to white flremen.
This clause will have very important
effect. He points out that 1t will tend
strongly toward the employment of only
white f1remen. It was said time and
again by witnesses at the hearings OF the
board that negro firemen are employed
for the one reason that their labor is to
be got more cheaply.

HIGH PRICES DUE To 20 ".
SCARCITY OF FARM LABOR

WASHINGTON, June 2s-Seeretary OF
Agriculture Wilson. who has just re-
turned from a trip through the western
states, says that lack of farm hands is
the chief, cause of the high prices of
foodstuffs. - 1880 .-- ~.. .-.-
."All through the west and northwest
the same situation exists" said Mr.. Will
son. THE country is as healthy and
prosperous as ever 1t was, but thousands
of acres of valuable and fertile land are
lying idle because the owners cannot
hire labor. although wages paid farm
hands in these states are the equal Of
those paid to the laborers in our large
cities -e $780,
THE immigrants who land on our
shores all flock to the larger cities and
those of them who have done farming In
their own country are incompetent and
nearly useless to the American farmer
because they don't understand the mod
ern machinery used on farms in this
country r t.-
Prices of grain and vegetables, there
fore. are bound to be high and of course
with these staples selling at high prices
the value of meats is thereby raised"
