The Democrat has recently heard
reports of a remarkable cure affected
|by DR.. A. H. Weber, the Des Moines
oculist who comes to the Hotel Lewis
once a month, and after investigation
we find the reports to be true. The
cure was in the case of Mrs. Scurlock
!of Cherokee whose picture is given
herewith The case is an interesting
;one and will attract attention both
from a scientific standpoint and in
the interest of humanity in general.
Mrs. Scurlock has had her sight re-
stored after seventeen years OF blind
ness. She has a daughter 16 years of
age whom she had never seen until
three months ago.
Mrs. Scurlock was afflicted with
cataracts which rendered her totally
blind.
According to her own story she had
been treated by oculistc without the
least benefit and gave up all hope Of
ever seeing again. When friends told
her of DR.. Weber having cured many
difficult cases of eye troubl., Il call
ed on him." said Mrs. Scurlock, "and
when he told me he could restore my
sight it seemed too good to be true.
He has done so to my perfect salts
faction. DR.. Weber removed the cat
aracts painlessly."
Mrs Scurlock has recently called
at this office and her sight seems to
be as good as that of the ordinary
person. She has a good reason to
feel overjoyed and is unstinting in
her praise of Dr. Weber and his mir
aculous cure.-Cherokee Democrat.

such Intention. The board did not ap-
prove the superintendents plan for u
Encouragement OF the office force. and
inc appropriation vas not made. DR..
wilson related the Incident with con-
siderable heat. and Superintendent
Stearnes took umbrage at once.
Mr.. Stearnes expressed surprise and
amazement that a member OF tho board
should take advantage OF tho short
time renal aiming before adjournment to
make statement which was, to say
the least, misleading. At the proper
time. he said. he would reply to 1t.

The situation grew still more tense
when Henry G. Ford arose with q state
ment subscribing tc the substance OF
the Information just laid before the

assembled for the afternoon sessions.
Mr.. Stearnes served notice that IL II
were the intention OF the body to go
further into the Ashby matter he would
insist upon a postponement until Gov
ernor stuart could be present. He
wanted the matter dealt with by the
full board. he said. Governor Stuart
had left for Kings Mountain, y. C. Ac-
cordingly, the board adopted a motion
postponing the inquiry until October
l6. when the investigation will be re-
sumed.
Friends OF Superintendent Stearncs
and the members Of the board who
seem disposed to criticize his discharge
of the Ashhy girls. undertook. later in
the afternoon. to prepare n resolution
designed to put an end to the difiiculty.
This resolution, 1t is understood. win

While il is not believed that this
resolution will prove more acceptable
to Mr.. Price than the one which he re-
jected earlier in the day, Indications
pointed to it's adoption by the board
at It's next meeting. Unless this or a
similar resolution is adopted. the board
