the Exaninlng Board Of Opt0me-
trfsfa for the United StafeA

Cedar Point, o., August 19-Florida
was given the highest honor that could
be conferred by the National Associa-
ton OF Opticians on DIR. D. NJ Roney
OF Ocala, president of the Florida State
Board Of Optometry, who was unani-
mousIy elected president of the nation
al examining board for the United
States
The national annual meeting<was the
largest in years, representing both this
and foreign countries This associa-
ton has a membership of over 5000
Special to the Jacksonville Times
Union.
This is indeed a high compliment
paid to one of Oca1as citizens and one
undoubtedly deserved as the State AS
ISOLATION Of this order not only made
DR.. Boney their president for several
succeeding terms, but president of the
Florida State Board of Examiners.
The receipt of this piece of gratifying
news Saturday was noted by some of
our citizens in manner that was in
no way complimentary to their sense
OF Justice or intelligence 1t was very
evident those parties making those un-
called for and unjust sneers knew
nothing of DIR. Boney's splendid eye
work In Ocala and the hundreds OF
persons ready to testify to his eff
cheney and ability to relieve their in
jured optics and fit glasses that give
them renewed sight. When called on
for the cause of such expressions on
their part, excused themselves by say
ing so and so had said, admitting they
took their Impressions from the con-
| Inv
and unjust criticism of another. It
also revealed the fact the party max
ing the uncalled for criticism had new
er visited DR.. Boney's office, knew
nothing of the splendid manner in
which he had fitted up his office with
the most scientific instruments for the
observation Of the eye and it's exact
condition, SO that it could be properly
treated, nor did they take the trouble
to interview those who had been under
DIR. Boney's treatment and learn from
them If they thought DR.. Boney un-
derstOod his business. The Star men
tions this incident to show how certain
people at certains times make uncalled
for and unjust criticism of their fell
lows. who would scorn the same treat
| ment If 1t referred to themselves. 1t
illustrates another phase of human ma
ture, how thoughtlessly and readily
we accept the dictum of another party
| with which we pass on the merits OF
dement's of a fellow mortal
In justice to ourselves and our fell
lows we can do this-hold our tongues
in matters of this kind, unless our
| knowledge is from first hand and in
disputable and said expressions of an
opinion will be of benefit to our fell
lows. instead of a reflection on a capa-
BILE practitioner.
DR.. Boney is deserving of the highest
credit for the long battle he has fought
| to make him success in his profess
sion. There is no man in Oca1a, nc
matter ii he is reputed NJ D., who
has as thoroughly studied the eye and
the most approved methods of adjust
| ing glasses to relieve and aid them
than DR.. Boney, and the hundreds OF
| satisfied patients are ready to testify
| to this fact.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
THE FIRST PATENT LAWS-APRIL TO-

The Constitution Of the United States
had, as one of its articles. a provision en-
poWering Congress with the right to pass
laws ito promote the progress OF science
and useful arts. by securing for limited
times 10 authors and inventors the ex-
elusive right to their respective writings
and discoveries" Congress at an early
day availed itself of this power. and
Bouvier's Law Dictionary says: THE
first act passed was that which estab-
lished the Patent Office, on the 10th OF
April, 1870. There were several supple
ments and notifications of this law.
Applications for patents under this law
of 1890 were required to be made to a
board. consisting of the Secretary of
State. the Secretary of War. and the Att
torney General. A small fee, amounting
to less than s.. was charged for the
patent.
The year 1886 marks the beginning Of an
era In the patent system of the United
States In that year all previous statutes
were repealed and comprehensive act
was passed, which brought the system
somewhat into its present condition, re-
tanning many old features, but introdue-
ing new and important changes. IN the
first place, It created a patent Office, to
be attached to the Department Of State,
at the head of which was to be COM
missioner OF patents. The most important
provision Of the act of 1886 was the intro
duction of the policy OF preliminary ex-
aminatlons for the purpose OF determining
the patehtability of an invention before
issuing the patent.
In 1872 provision was made for patenting
designs for period Of seven years. By
an act of 1861 the term of patents for in
yentions was extended from fourteen to
seventeen years; all former acts discrimi-
mating between aliens and citizens were
repealed and a uniform scale Of fees was
adopted.
The whole system OF patent legislation
was again revised in 1870, and brought
into its present condition. AS tho laws
now stand. any person who has invented
or discovered any new and useful art.

The Awakened South.

The one who investigates. even care
iessly and superfeially, VIII find the Sc
cret of the Souths present progress and
great promise Of the future easy enough
10 fathom. The contrasting Of conditions
to-day with those OF decade ago are
not astonishing only-they are profoundly
and lastingly Impressive.
The South is keeping its money at
home. Not the sum total. perhaps, but
more and more Of it every day. BY and
by. all Of it, approximately. will stay
there.
\ few years back the South produced
much raw material. but it did not manu-
faeture. Cotton-its great stapIe-broUght
a large influx OF wealth into Dixie an
nually. but it Immediately went back
East in payment for things the South
could not get at home Nowadays, the
South is learning to trade with itself, all
the way from the cotton field to the
clothing store. over one-half OF the cot
ton grown in the South Is now manufac-
tured in the South. L is only a question
of time until the whole OF the cotton crop
will be manufactured there.
Hand in hand with this expansion OF
the manufacturing interests down Dixie
way goes the safe and sane exploitation
Of the souths financial institutions. It's
banking houses are multiplying by leaps
and bounds; its life and fire insurance
companies are waxing stronger and
stronger every year. A verltable flood Of
golden dollars. once fowing-apparentl
forever-toward New York and New Eng
land. now spreads itself around and
about its own cline and nourishes its
home soil in way that soil has never
before been nourished.
Are the young men OF the South seek
Ing fields Of endeavor in other sections
to-day? They ara not: they do not have
10. Al home the wages are as good. or
better; the work as honorable and the
outlook, at least. as rosy as anywhere
else on earth. The developing manhood
Of Dixie is standing pat on DIxie-and
well II may. II holds a hand hard 10 beat
Far from losing anything with respect
to its assets OF this character, the South
IS calling its exiles home in hundreds of
instances. and the call IS being answered.
No wonder the whole country looks to-
ward this awakened section and predicts
for 1t tomorrow of tremendous things.
The South Is helping itself within itself
II Is keeping what It gets. and it is get
ting what it can. Its overflow presently
will serve merely 10 increase its home
surplus. It is utilizing all of It's waste-or
that which It once considered waste.
. It is hard 10 see how the South can
fail 10 win ont handsomely, so long as it
plays the game after its present fashion.

A Seven Days Taxi Ride.

The man who pays according to the
meter, whether II be distance or time.
appreciates the value Of fare. but
imagine the man who starts out on Mon
day morning and keeps the taxi IN con-
tinuous service for seven days. at the
end OF which time he asks for the bill.
and discovers that he lacks the change
necessary. What TO do in such a case
would prove a dilemma 10 most mortals
and the outcome would in most cases be
the same
little more than q week ago a man
with SLOUGH hat and wooden leg hailed a
taxi in Brooklyn. He spent the day trav-
cling about Brooklyn and New York
City. and by evening the chauffeur was
highly pleased by the prospect Of a big
commission. for in BROOKLYN the taxi
drivers work or percentage basis. stu
more pleased was Jehu when he was told
10 reappear the following morning at
the hotel where the man spent the night
The second day out they started for New
Rochelle. and from there into Conpecti-
cut. Stops were made at various estates
OF which the fare asked the price. renre-
senting himself as a real estate spee-
ulator
The third day out they got as far as
Hartford, where they spent the night.
Nothing had as Yet been said regarding
the fare. and the chauffeur had already
begun 70 spend his commission. which BY
this time amounted to a goodly sum. But
when the fourth day passed and the
fifth. and they reached Providence, r.
l.. the driver became somewhat con-
cerned. However, his fare seemed to have
plenty Of money. for he stopped at the
best hotels. On the seventh day they
reached Waltham. Mass. where the taxi
broke down. The fare said he would
take q trolley into Boston. and when the
machine was repaired # could call for
him AT a certain Boston hotel
After repairs were made. the chauffeur
drove up to the hotel, only to learn that
the man with the wooden leg had never
appeared there. and the chauffeur is still
looking for his fare.
In New York State it is criminal Of
tense to defraud taxicab company. but
in Massachusetts there is no similar law
What the chauffeur and the taxlcab COM
pany want 20 know IS whether the man
with the wooden leg is amensble 10 the
New York statute, or whether the fraud.
