Operation Restores Sight.

Asheville, N. c., Nov. 25.-Miss
Leila Cameron, of Marion, who is 29
years old, and had been blind since
her birth, is able to see as well as the
average person in Asheville who uses
glasses. Her sight was given her by
an operation performed by DR.. E, R.
Russell. The results of the operation
are probably among the most Won
derful ever accomplished in the Unit
ed States and the operation required
only few minutes. Miss Cameron is
without doubt one of the happiest
persons in the world to-day.
The operation was not performed
on both eyes, ~ o. the right one,
and the happiness of the patient on
being able to see for the first time in
her life came very near making the
operation unsuccessful, as only To-
cal anaesthetic was used, and as soon
as the delicate operation was COM
pleted she was able to see. She
could not control her emotions for a
a few moments, until it was impress
ed on her that her continued sight
depended upon her emotion being
controlled until her eye has been
healed. The first operation proved
a success, and as little pain had been
suffered she returned for the second,
which was equally successful and
now her sight is weak only by nat
ural near-sightedness.
The trouble with Miss Cameron's
eyes that had kept her from seeing
was that the pupils were filled with
an Opaque membrance that would
not allow the transmission of light.
The operation consisted merely in
cutting windows" in this mem
brane so that the light could pass
through, thus making an artificial
pupil for each eye. No trouble what
ever was encountered in this, DR..
Russell says.
1t is understood that there has al
ways been objection by all the
friends of the young lady, except one,
to having her consult specialist but
this one believed that something
could be done and brought her to
Asheville to consult DR.. Russell.
Miss Cameron is fine musician
and has taught music classes in Mar
ion for number of years.

Conference Finds Mr.. Eaves Guilty.

High Point, N. c., Nov. 2S.-By
noon to-day the bulk Of the business
of the Western North Carolina con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, was finished and the
main item of interest now remaining
is the appointment of preachers to
their charges for the ensuing year,
which will be made Monday. The
conference adopted recommends
ton to petition the general assembly
of North Carolina to prohibit the
shipment of whiskey into this terri
tory from wet" districts. The COM
mittee trying the Rev. G. E. Eaves
for leaving his charge without leave
and taking with him certain church
funds, found the pastor guilty and he
was suspended from the ministry for
six months. Rev. Abernethy, who
represented Eaves, gave notice of ap-
peal. The reports of pastors and pre-
siding elders showed that much
church building had been accom-
plished during the past IL months.

GIVES HIS LIFE FOR FAMILY.
Missing Atlanta Street Car Conduc-
tor Believed a Suicide.

Atlanta, Ca, November 25.-Sac-
rifces for his family and remorse be-
cause he could not make further sac
rifices is believed to have led H. w.
Fitch, a local street car conductor,
to kill himself, either to-day or last
night, so that his two children might
have his life insurance at once.
Fitch's lawyers to-day received a let
ter from him, which ended by saying:
I'm going to wind my little ball
up and get off this old world
One year ago Fitch gave of his own
blood in a fruitless effort to save
his wife's life. Relatives say that he
has been weak and in a worried state
ever since Recently he purchased
for $500 a lot on which to build
house for his son, Charles, and his
small daughter, Anna, who lives with
relatives in Lake City, S. c. With
the house practically completed, Fitch
found that he lacked s675 to pay
for the construction work. Since he
had taken the title for the property
in his name as guardian for his
children, the Georgia law prevented
him from borrowing money on it.
He has since made threats to end
his life so that his children could
obtain his life insurance and finish
paying for the property. No trace
has been found of him since he dis
appeared last night.
