BALLAR
The latest and best of all reading and walking or
combination glasses made at any price.
As invisible as any double vision lens sold.
Cost8 less than any other so-called invisible bifocal.
Less cement surface to fog or blurr.
Made thinner, lighter and neater than any other bi
focal for sale.
They are being sold all over the United States under
various names. They are not patented, consequently
you pay no royalty on them.
We have every Bifocal made.
Let us demonstrate them to you; if you are annoyed
by the use of two pairs of glasses or have Bifocals now
which are not satisfactory to you, consult us.
B. WALTER BALLARD,
Who, less than one year ago, introduced the Ballard Bi
focal, which has gained a reputation for this firm that
few Optical houses have attained in a lifetime. It is not
this lens alone that has given us the lead, but the service
we offer is seldom found elsewhere. Not how cheap but
how well we can serve you at all times.
BIFOCAL
Ground on a deep Toric
curve, giving ’the larg
est visual field of any
glass made. Prevents
eye lashes from touch
ing the glass, excludes
the .light from the outer
corners and gives real
comfort to every wearer.
The leading Oculists and
largest manufacturers
have pronounced the Toric lens the most perfect and
comfortable glass for the eyes, when properly ground,
but it is absolutely necessary that they should be ground
and not cast or molded.
Our facilities for grinding Oculists’ prescriptions
and frame adjusting are not equaled in the entire South.
Every man an expert in his special department.
We carry every patent nose glass made in our stock
—no waiting for us to order them.

STEEL MAGNATES
HOLD CONFERENCE
Special to The Georgian.
Gadsden, Ala., Aug. 23.—President C.
K. Buck, of the Lacey-Buck Coal and
Iron Company, was in the city yester-
terday and held a conference with sev
eral prominent stockholders of the
Southern Steel Company. Although
nothing was given out an to his In
tentions, It is believed that his visit
to this city was In reference to the
rumored merger ot the properties ot
these two companies. It Is stated upon
reliable authority that the merger will
take place on or about September, nt
which time the capital stock of the
Southern Steel Company will bo In
creased from $16,000,000 to $21,000,000,
This Increase in the capital st6ck Is
said to he for tho purpose of taking
over the property of the Lacey-Buck
properties, which consist of valuable
coal anti mineral lands and two blast
furnaces.
POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
The familiar campaign poster, hear
ing the face of the political candidate,
nmy be a scarce article In the coming
campaign, owing to the spreading of
the lithographers* strike.
Miss E. Mai Davison, of Long Pine,
Nebr., Is the Democratic nominee for
county attorney In her county. She Is
probably the first woman to be named
for this office In the United States.
Secretary Shaw, after touring the
tate, Is of the opinion t* '
Is likely to be the hottest
of all this year's political campaigns.
The Democratic plan to bring In Mr.
Bryan and other national leaders to
defeat the efforts the Republicans are
making to carry the state.
The Sixteenth congressional district
of Texas, which has Just renominuted
Judge William Robert Smith, Is the
largest In area In the United States.
It Is 6«0 miles long by 400 miles wide.
It Includes fifty-seven counties and Is I
larger than the entire New England
states.
The election In Maine next month Is
expected to give the first line on the
probable results of the congressional
elections throughout the country In
November. Oregon, which hold* Its (
election In June, sometimes tells the
story, but this year the election In that
state gave no Indication of how the
wind blows. But It Is believed that the
result of the contests la Maine will
foreshadow the general result. If the
four congressmen from Maine nre re- I
elected by normal majorities. Chairman
Sherman will venture to declare with
contldence that the rest of the country
Is safely anchored to Its Republican
moorings. But If the majorities of the I
four Maine congressmen should be cut I
down, or If one at least of them should
be defeated. Democratic campaign
stock surely will go up with a rush.
