(TALK NO. 1919
What Glasses Do.

There is nothing secret or myster-
ious about the action of lenses upon
the eye. They simply place it in per
feet focus, that is all. You can see
a splendid illustration of this action
at any time by looking at a stereOp-
ticon picture. II the instrument is
not in focus the picture is blurred. II
it is a picture of a business street you
can see lettering on the signs over the
stores but not distinctly enough TO
read it. You feel that it tires your
eyes to look at it. If the operator
turns the adjustment screw ever so
slightly the picture comes out clear
and distinct. You can read the signs
and your eyes feel that the strain is
removed. Fitting glasses TO an eye
that is out of focus is exactly the
same TO that eye as turning the ad-
justment screw in the instrument. The
picture upon the retina of the eye is
brought out clear and distinct. There
is no longer any cause for the deli
cate muscles OF the eye to make an
effort TO see better. Vision is i'm
proved strain is removed and the
eyes placed in a normal, healthy con
dition.

School days must be the most
pleasant ones, is our conclusion after
having had the pleasure Of attend
ing a picnic on the banks of Black
river. This was given purposely fol
entertaining Miss Pearl Eaddy and
her band of young ideas whose ten
der training has been in her care for
the past two scholastic years. With
the children, their parents and q
few invited friends the moving
hours were whiled away in 8 manner
peculiarly pleasant to each one, the
older ones sitting in the shade of the
trees listening to Uncle" George
Mitchum while he was amusing them
relating "side-busting" yarns OF by
gone days, the children romping
from place to place with buoyant
spirits, giving vent to the pent-up
energy that was stored while they
were kept quietly studying in the
classroom. Some others with allur-
ing bait attracted the attention OF
the famous trout, Dream and red
breast and had their sport by haul
ing them from the water to the
shore, and others yet were in boats.
A young man and a fair lady could
be noticed gliding serenely on the
placid waters of this historic stream
where seemingly not wave OF trou-
bic rolled to mar this delightful oc-
casion. The dinner was grand. 1t

dies of this community 10 prepare

GRAMME OF EXERCISES--A
PICNIC ON THE RIVER.

Benson, April 29:-Last Friday,
Cedar Swamp Graded school class
room doors were closed, ending the
sixth year of this literary school.
The building needs improvement
and is imperfect in equipment, yet
the achievements have been remark
able when the beginning of the first
year is compared with the present.
The school term being very short,
the teachers concluded to give the
pupils only one weeks training for
the annual &C mmencement. 1t may
be mentioned that the best test for
memorizing was given the children,
as it was the shortest time devoted
to training they ever had. Miss
Bethea's untiring efforts in training
them deserve the hearty praise of
the parents.
Monday evening was crowded to
its utmost capacity with home folk
and visitors from various sections
awaiting the beginning of the even

Phillips made the address of vel

farther into the woods into a little
bay almost entirely surrounded by
heavy underground. An attempt to
follow was made by the white men
and the negro opened fire. In the
first exchange of shots Frank Bow
ers vas killed. DR. Moore probably
fatally wounded and George Hanna
was shot in the back.
The pursuers retreated a short
distance and kept up a scattered fire
at the negro. Help was summoned
from Allendale and Hampton and
bloodhounds were ordered.
About 8 O'Clock tonight Magistrate
F H Edenfeld of Allendale, who had
Joined the posse, attempted to lead
a dash into the swamp. He was shot
and instantly killed and an unidenti-
fled man with him was probably IA

A Gordon was drawn around the
section of the swamp where the ne

were awaited. Shortly after 90 clock
the negro made a dash for liberty.
Fully fifty shots were exchanged but
he broke through the line, escaping.
Bloodhounds are being rushed to
the scene from Barnwell and from
the State penitentiary. Governor
Blease also has been requested to
send troops to the swamp, but at
late hour no action had been taken
by the Governor.
