painful and distressing at times.
Judge Roam himself has made no
statement with respect to this matter,
but the rumor that he may not Of
fer TO succeed himself has consider
able color of authority, nevertheless.
In the event Judge Roam does not
offer for election. there will develop
most keen interest of course, in the
matter Of an opposing candidate to
Judge Nash Broyles. 1t may be that
Judge Broyles will be permitted to
have the position without a. contest,

And then, too, there may be moth
ing substantial, really, in the rumor
that Judge Roam will not run.
Already there are 26 candidate for

There are nine candidates for
Treasurer, FIVE for Sheriff, four for
the Legislature. three for Tax Re
ceiver and two for Tax Collector and
three for Coroner. And a new batch
comes out every week.
Judge George Glenn, who was elect

OF the late Representative Sam"

however, are n A. Bradford, J. J.

Quoted by L. A Jester, real estate
agent for the executive council.

half Of the land within the proposed

secured pieces Of real estate In all

ity Of the owners of the property were
disposed to deal fairly with the state,
the officials say.
The agent for the council has about
exhausted his prospects. He finds
himself unable to recommend that the
council offer the amounts asked by the
remaining property owners. therefore
the proposition is about ready for con-
domination action, it is said.
Several members of the executive
council are urging that the state pro-

Throw Away Your
Eyeglasses!
A Free Prescription

You Cen Have Filled and Use At Home.
Do you wear glasses? Are you a VIC
tim OF eye-strain or other eye-weak-
nesses2 II SO, you will be glad to know
that there is real hope for you. Many
whose eyes were failing, say they have
had their eyes restored through the
principle of this wonderful free pre-
scription. One man says. after trying
It: II was almost blind; could not see
to read at all. Now I can read every
thing without any glasses and my eyes
do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel
fine all the time. 1t was like miracle
to me-" A lady who used it says: The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. I can even read fine print
without glasses" It Is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes SO as to be spared
the trouble and expense of ever getting
glasses. Eye troubles OF many descrip-
lions may be wonderfully benefited by
following the simple rules. Here is the
prescription: Go to any active drug
store and get bottle of DIPLOMA. Fill
a two ounce bottle with warm water,
drop in one DIPLOMA tablet and allow to
dissolve. With this liquid, battle the
eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per-
ceptibly right from the start and in
iammation will quickly disappear. II
your eyes are bothering you, even a
little, take steps to save them now be-
fore it is too late. Many hopelessly
blind might have been saved if they
had cared for their eyes in time
