sight for twenty years and watering of the
eyes, and ?Turing that period of time I
have tried many times to have it success?
fully corrected, but they all failed. Aly
c>es watered constantly and I could not
read more than half an hour'at a time. I
had made up my mind that I could not
get relief, but after reading and hearing
so much of the expert work of Charles
Lincoln Smith, I made up my mind to
try him and I feel very thankful that I
did. for after securing his method and
prescription glasses. I feel like a new
man. Aly eyesight Is grand and I am
i:ot bothered with tho watering in my
uses. I regard his skill and method as a
Cod-send to humanity.

headache, as the day advanced, while

until it would bo a sort of neuralgia. My
mother called my attention to Charles
I incoln Smith's advertisement In thl
lewspapers and sho suggested that my
headache might come from a defect in
the vision of my eyes. I thought not,
us I had been wearing glasses for severai
years. However, 1 concluded to try
Charles Lincoln Smith's method of pro?
scription glasses and I am mighty thank?
ful that 1 did so, as since wearing them
1 am not bothered with headache and my
vision Is perfect and my neuralgia has
disappeared. 1 would not part with
the glasses for threo times the cost of
them and if I could not duplicate them, I
would not soli them nt any price.

over tho success of Charles Lincoln Smith
in his wife's case. Airs. Anderson atatos
that for the past llftoen years sho has had
very defectivo eyesight. Aly vision was
such that I could not seo a person acro.is
tho street, to tell whether thoy wore white
or black, and I could not sow or thread
a needle or read any length of time. I
?would want to rub my oyes all the time.
I was treated by a leading specialist,
who wanted mo to go to a hospital ami
have my eyes operated on, but 1 objected
to that. I tried various kinds of glasses
and treatmonts. After buying four or
flvo different ones, I had about given up
in despair of over getting any relief, when
1 went to Charles Lincoln Smith and tried
his method . and prescription glasses,
which havo glvon me the most perfect
vision and the greatest comfort, I can
now thread a lino needle, sew and read
as good as anybody,

PROGRESS IS
VERY SLOW
Will Take Many Days Yet to
Complete Consideration of
Public Service Bill,
A VERY SPIRITED COLLOQUy
Mr. Duke Charo-.?? r-aiator Wick?
ham With Iii-."?si.tency, But
No O f?t l.v.) Merini.
The Sonato Commlttoo for Courts of
Justice yesterday resumed consideratoli
of tho bill In relation to public service
corporations, but attor another long sitting
hod mntle but little progress with this
voluminous measure. About eight pnges
wore considered yesterday, which added
to the seventeen concluded the day before,
leaves seventy-four yet to bo 'considered.
With five more working days for the con.
slderatlon of the bill, and at tho rato of
ten pages per day, tho committee will
have finished fifty moro pages, making
a total of seventy-five pnges, leaving
twenty-four still to bo considered with
the limitation upon tho Ufe of the Gen?
eral Assembly at hand. That Is to say,
unless more rapid progress Is mndo than
has yet been accomplished, there Is no
hope of a report on the bill at this ses?
sion, .j
The eminent domain bill, another over
which there Is a stubborn contest, with
Air. Duke and others on the one. niela and
the uttorncys for the various railways on
the other, will bo taken up at a meeting
of the committee to be held at 10 A. -1.
to-day. This promises to be a lively
hearing.
SPIRITED COLLOQUY.
Yesterday's sitting of the committee
was? enlivened no little by a colloquy of
some length between Delegato Duko nnd
Senator Henry T. Wlckham, who Is at?
torney for tho Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway. At one timo the passage be?
tween tho two gentlemen threatened to
develop some feeling, but happily it turn?
ed to merriment nnd the members h;d
quite a bit of fun out of the exchanges
between the two. Senator Wickham had
stntcd that ho was a citizen and a far?
mer, as well as an attorney for the
? Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, and that
he was a citizen and n. farmer heforc he
was an attorney. If he had to give up
either law or his farm ho would give
up the law. The senator in his charac?
teristically earnest and Impressive man?
ner, dwelt somewhat upon the fact that
he was farming on his ancestral acres,
where his father and his grandfather be?
fore him had lived-and wrought. He
spoke with some Imprcsslveness of his
devotion to this historic old home and Its
fertile acres, on which he raised wheat
and sold it to the Gallego mills. This
was followed by tho statement thnt the
formers themselves were benefited bv
what was known as th? milt rute on
grain.
It was after this that the gentleman
from Albemarlo, Mr. Duke, reviewed what
Mr. Wlckham had said, and then charged
him with Inconsistency. "Last week,"
said he, "when we were here discussing
the eminent domain bill, tho gentleman
from Hanover was here advocating tho
right of a railway to run its line through
tu farm or even through a man's dwell?
ing, if necessary. How would he like to
have a railway run through his farm?"
' Mr. Wlckham replied that It might do
so if it would benefit him as he believed
11 would.
Mr, Duke asked if ho would consent
to have a railway run through ills ances?
tral home, and not receiving so* ready a
reply, he asked Mr. Wlckham if tho
humble homo of another man was not
just as dear to that man as was tho
Senator's to him.
KO OFFENCE MEANT.
Mr. Wlckham protested that tho dis?
cussion had developed into a personal
matter and wanted to know what Mr.
Duko meant. That gentleman explained
that he meant to show that the gentle?
man from Hanover occupied one position
last week and had reversed hjmself and
token another this week, when tho ques?
tion was brought home to him. He as?
sured Mr. Wlckham that ho did not mean
to offend anybody, but thought it legi?
timate to show tho inconsistency, as ho
regarded it in tho positions taken by the
gentlemnn from Hanover.
After this tho colloquy was turned Into
r good-humored and very amusing one,
In which some very bright retorts were
msdo on both sides. JLwns a Hashing ot
wit from two rapiers and tho fencing was
thoroughly enjoyed by the others present.
Mr. Wlckham In tho course ofj his ar?
gument,.as to'the benefit of the mill rate
on grain, asked Senator Keezell if tho
rate,was not a benefit to the farmers of
his section. "I don't know so much about
that," replied tlio Rockingluim Senator.
"It permits tho grain from the western
States to come In at practically tho same
rato and compete with ours."
HARD ON HOBOS.
The Bill of Senator Halsey Be?
comes a Law.
The bill of Senator Don P. Halsey, on
titled an act to define and punish va?
grancy, having passed both houses of tho
Ocnoral Assembly and been signed by
tho Governor, Is a law In full forco und
edict,
Tho mensur? is aiong the Unes of what
Is known as tho Georgia vagrancy law,
which has proved so elllcaclous in that
Stato In driving* tho hobos out, It do
fir.os vagrancy and provides for proce?
dure by which any person complying
v.)th tho definition may bo arrested and
put lo work. Those who have examined
th-} law declaro that ll Is carefully drawn
una safeguards the public against uny
abuso of Its provisions, which are rather
dia.tic.
The law may bo defined as a compan?
ion bill to tho child labor statute, for Its
effect will bo to secure bettor enforce?
ment of that also. Tho uct forbid- nblo
bcdlod parents putting their children to
work to support the puronts who *v_ In
Ieller.ess. It is also useful In enabling the
Stato to get at and punish with confino
rient and labor those moti commonly
known as suspicious characters, I who,
huvltig no visible menus of support and
nr. occasion for remaining in Uu com?
munity, are a menuet? to Ufo apd prop
erty, Nearly all tho safe-craekors or
yof,gnion and tho burglars, plckpookots
and miscellaneous crlmlnuVi who operato
hereabouts are liable to arrest and con
finement under this uot, ,

more pretentious biography of this, tho
eldest living man, Illustrated with a
double column portrait, was given the
leaders of tho Dallas Morning News,
dated December H, 1S98, nnd also th.
Chicago Times-Herald of samo date.
This centenarian Is tin. ardent friend of
P?rima, having lined it many yoti.rs.
Tn speaking of his good health and e*
trcmo old ago, Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived In thn world AM
long ns ? huvo.'he ought to havo found
out a great many things by experience,
I think 1 havo dono so,
" One of ihe things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper thing for aliments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For 115 years I have
withstood the changeable climate
ot the United States.
"I havo always been a very healthy
man. but of courso subject to tlio llttl?
p flection:- which aro duo to sudden
changes In tho climate and temperature.
During my long life I have known a great
many remedies for coughs, colds an?
il In rrhoen.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Peruna, I have found It to be the
best, if not the only reliable rem'
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets ull my requirements'.
It protects nib from tho ovll effects of
suddeii changes; It keeps me in good
appetite; It gives me strength; It koope
my blood In good circulation. 1 have
como to rely upon It almost Jontlrely for
the many llttlo things for which I need
medicino.
"When epidemics of la grippe first be?
gan to make their appearance In thi?
country I was a sufferer from this dis?
ease.
" / had several long sieges, with
the grip. < At first I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for
this disease. When I heard that
la grippe ivas epidemic catarrh, I
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found It to be just the thing."
?? a later letter dated January 31, 1003,
Mr. Brock writes;
"I am well and feeling ns well as I
huvo for years. Tho only thing that ?
bothers me Is my sight. If I could see
better I could walk nil ovor the farm and.;
It would do me good. I would not bo
without Perlina."
