Man is Convicted
In Camden Under
0ptometry Law

Camden. Aug. ~31.-An interest
ing trial of statewide Importance
took place in Magistrate S. y.
Nickolson's court yesterday when
Fl. 3. Wilson was tried and convict
ed for practicing optometry with
out a license.
DIR. It. A. w. Elmgreen, of CO.
lumbia;l secretary and treasurer Of
the South Carolina, Board of Ex-
aminers Of Optometrists, appear
ed for the state, testifying that
there was nos one registered to
practice eptometry in South Caro-
lima OF the, defendants name and
it was charged that the defendant
had tested eyes for glasses in a
crude and uncertain manner, also
that he had sold glasses to local
people:
= Phe optometry law states that
any. person shall be deemed to be
practicing eoptometry who shall dis
play a sign, or in any way adver-
-tise as an optician or optometrisJ
or who shall employ any means,
other than the use of drugs for the
measurement of the powers OF Vi
sion, or the adaptation of lenses
for the aid thereof, or who shall
in: the. sale of spectacles Or eye
glasses or; lenses, use in the test
ing Of the eyes therefor, lenses
other than lenses actually sold.
The law regulating this practice
was enacted in 1917 and there have
been very few violations, this case
being the first one brought to- a
trial in over year.
It was through the efforts of G.
Z. Blackwell and J. NJ. Hefner, ep-
tometrists here, that the state board
was enabled to bring. the conyic-
tor under the. examination law.

The scaie of Living.

there IS a certain appropriateness
that is we'll to observe out of re-
Ispeet for ourselves as well as out
of eonsid Grafton for others. The

I it is absurd for YOU and cruel to
them to bring them up as il they
were to inherit a fortune. They
and you will suffer for it in the
end, and the worst part of your
suffering VIII be that they will
blame you.
The way to achieve a wise and
reasonable proportion between
means and ends, to see that what
you and your family have in one
line conforms to what you have in
another, that there is no startling
|contrast between your expenditure
of one year and that OF the next,
is to use forethought and system.
The most damaging, the NEST de-
|structive of all forms Of human IL.
nancing is to spend because you
Fhave. Your pay comes in, your
mining stock yields an unexpected
dividend: you go out in a whirl-
wind of glee. step round the cor

thing yeu always knew You need
ed but never thought of buying,
and the whir1wind has swept away
that pocketfal Of cash, and there
is still a little more to pay, and you
have no idea where it is coming
from. Your glee has vanished with
IA pop. like a burst balloon.

do with it, what you ought to do
with it. Plan to put. unexpected

of either, kind, but your life will
be sane and well regulated, and
there will be a pleasing complete
ness about it such as is unknown
TO those who spend by fits and
starts.
At the same time there is. a
slavery to the scale Of living that
is as much to be avoided as the
neglect Of it. Independence is the.
secret Of happiness, perhaps more
in matters of money than in any,
thing else. Do not Jet anyone on
earth dictate how you shall spend.
Have the things you really enjoy:
go without those you don't. no
matter who criticizes. The scale,
of living is set by the artificial re-
ouirements ofssociety. 1t is well to
recognize it, but not to be martyr
ito it. The measure of happiness.
Is the adjustment of real wants to
Eactual means; and any scale that
does not allow for that is false and

problem Of late we hear much
mention Of the living wage. ;" That
is interpreted to means not the
wage that is sufficient to main
tain the worker himself in com
tort, but the wage that without
hardship will support the family
ef four or FIVE persons that is sup
posed to be dependent on him. It
IS much to be, desired that every
worker in the country should have
not only living wage but wage
sufficient for ample living. Every
industry would be- on safer founaa-
tions if that were possible; most
employers realize it. though some
of them unfortunately do not.
In considering the living wage
some things have tosbe remember
ed. A living wagesin New York or
i Chicago is not the same thing as a
living wage in asvfilage OF Florida
for Vermont. and attempts to
..standardRe2 wages are 'conse-
guentlya unfair. Al considerable
proportion of the wage earners are
not heads OF families, and not a
few families number two or three
or four wage earners among them.
Finally. there is the obstinate fact,
which some humlaitarians forget,
that living wage in order to be
There is no inexhaustible reser-
voir of money from which wages
Ican be paid. Wages do not come
from capital but from profits. Cap
ital is locked up sa,the instruments

for labor leaders TO insist on g ly-

paradoxical that with all QUE ad-
vantages OF mechanical production

such a wage be had merely for the
demanding. The labor unions
must change their attitude toward
production and recognize that
higher wages depend on more pro-
duction and cannot be had for less.
Employers must bend every effort
to diminish the overhead cost OF
production and at the same time
admit the obligation to pay to Ia
hor a part OF what they make by
better manufacturing methods.
Employers who do act in that man
ner pay living wages to their men
and live an easier, and happier life
in consequence.
| What is needed in short is a
frank and friendly understanding,
the willingness Of one party to stop
! shaving wages for greater profits
and the willingness of the other
side to abandon the "ca' canny'
and half-work methods that keep
the wage fund so far below what

Columbia, Sept. THE state,
supreme court. is now giving con-
sideration to a motion, which if
granted, Will reverse the entire
court policy of the state which al
lows circuit judges to grant new
trials on the grounds Of after dis
covered evidence. An opinion of
the court will be handed down at:
an early date bearing On this inn
.portant legal policy. !.
The motion was made by As.
sistant Attorney General Daniel
last Friday, for reversal of the
Lee case, Of 1908, which, accord
ing to MIR Daniels argument be-
fore the court, would allow a, de-
fendant to make motion before
as many circuit judges as he cared
to, for a new trial on the ground
of after-discovered evidence, and
then to appeal from the. circuit
judges rulings. Prior to the de-
cision in the. Lee case IN 1908 only
the supreme court could grant a
new trial on the ground Of after
discovered evidence after the SUI
preme court decided the case and
sent down its renittftur.
In, connection with this motion
the court also has under consider
alton appeals in two cases from
Greenrille. the Cliff Hawkins and,
the William Thompson case. In
both cases new trials had been
granted by Circuit Judge j. T.
'aaauidin. Thompson on the ground
that he had not had a fair trial;
Hawkins on the. ground of after
discovered evidence Hawkins
