All European Powers Interested. Paris. Oct. 25.—An exchange of views Is taking place today between the various European powers pos sessing large interest in Mexico, with the object of defining a common policy to carry out, after the elec tions are^held in that country. It is understood here that the United States will decline to recog-!IN EE T r.lze any of these suggestions, which the European powers consider desir able for their protection. The Initiative in the matter Is un derstood to come from England. It Is pointed out here that the Joint interests of the Europeans In Mexi co exceed those of the United States. For that one reason alone, It Is felt In official circles tlist there should he a concerted policy on the part of the United States sad Europe.

The votes In the big contest show no material change in the standing of the candidates this week. Miss Weldon still leads, and Miss Hopkins come* second. The votes were an nounced this morning. Some of the merchants object to the candidates coming into their places of business seeking votes and they ask that those who are in the contest please confine their atte.i- ions to customers after they leave the business houses where they do their trading. Thij is done, both at the request of the merchants and the people who trade with them, who have been in some instances annoy ed by persistent attentions. Miss Norma Hines 10,325 Mrs. T. G.

If you you have, you know the meaning of genuine relief and solid comfort. That is exactly what a properly fitted pair of glasses will do for weak, tired, worn-out eyes. Modern business con ditions necessitate long hours of close eye-tiring work, and It is not surprising that your eyes give out easily, ache, pain, burn and finally break down. Glasses are the remedy, and the only remedy, unless, of course, you stop using your eyes altogether. Glasses, properly fitted win strengthen and preserve your eyes and enable you to dc your work easily and with com fort. We are equipped to make a thorough and modern ex amination and will fit the correct lenses in an up-to-date frame or eyeglass mounting at a very moderate figure. Come in and talk to us about your eyes. If you don’t need glasses, after we hav« made a careful examination, wo may be able to give you some good pointers on how to take eare of your eyes.

We wish to thank the County Commissioners and Snot. Clay for their valued and untiring servied rendered the county. We have examined the dockets of all of the J. P.'s, furnished us and the majority of them are correctly kept: we find some that are not cor rectly kept and as neat as they might he. In many Instances they fail to itemize cost bills or to show what dispositions wen* made of tin* cases. We would recommend that they be furnished with printed dockets. Quite a nu i\her of the Justices have failed to submit their dockets, and we would recommend that they be Required at the next term of this Court. We find the books of the County Treasurer very neatly kept. We find that on October II. 1913. his books show a balance of $2,933.4 4. Wo find that the following Notary Publics and Ex-Officio J. p.'s com missions expire before the next term of this Court: L. E. Vann, of'168.3 District, and we recommend that he l>e re-apiointed: Jesse Brown. 1611 District, and that he be re-appoint ed: J. 8. Mallard. 637 District, and that he be re-appointed to same po sition. We are sorry to «av that we find the lav* relative to doing business on Sunday Is being violated all over the county. We find drug stores In every section of the county being kept open on Sunday and everything usually kept in a drug store sold «'i that day. We find that in some s/•- turns the groceries stores are being kept open and automobiles supply houses are kept open and soiling supplies and gasoline on Sunday. As it has been countenanced by the general public, we do not wish to make a wholesale drag-tiet of in dictments, but to recommend that our County Judge and County Solici tor put these parties on notice that unless they discontinue this practice of desecrating the Sabbath and vio lating the laws of the state, that they would have warrants taken for each and -every one found carrying on any business that the law for bids on Sunday; and we would ask the Mayors of arery town ’In this - Tosco Has llamEon c l!o fields, and harmony in the hall State: with strong representation at Washington, and the State affairs at home in the hands of a progressive governor, trusted and esteemed by all, Mr. Harris se»*H nothing in the way of wonderful advances.

Consequently our shippers should not neglect the hearing, and should use every effort to have th$Ir rights secured.’’ and to his efforts ha credited the fact that bitter fa< tion alism has within the last couple of years practically disappeared. Senator Karris gives the admin istration of Governor Slaton great credit for this mitigation of fac tional feeling. believes that Governor Slaton has made himself the Governor of all the people of Georgia, and not of any faction, and that it is vital for the welfare of the State for Governor Slaton to he re. elected and continue In office until program is carried out. enator Harris expre t.p ( , n lartrplvl”" that f:,>or * la ls a ‘» r * ably ra- „ J I In the United states Got- eminent than any other state, and that the Georgia Senators are In a position to do their constitnenta more good than they have been In a generation. Senator Bacon has Just been re-elected for another term, and Mr. Harris believes that Senator Hoke Smith w*.!! asd =hc*uld be re-elected without opposition. Mr. Harris says that Senator Smith and Senator Bacon are standing very high in the confidence of the administration at Washington, aid • re doing a magnificent work for I the nation and for their state. county to help us see that Die law are enforced We would further asl that the city and town authoritie try to pass ordinances putting th license so high as to prohibit th' sale of cigarettes to boys and men. as it is a great evil and is rulnin more me:- in our county than most any other evil. We desire to thank ,111s Honor Judge Thomas, for the able man ner in which he handles the C'oti and for his assistance and pleasant • nd agreeable manner to this Jury We also wish to thank our Solicitor for his pleasant and agreeable man-, ner to us, and his help to our b .a its deliberations. We re ommend that these sentments be published in the Offi cial County paper, and we ask that all other papers ia the county pub lish the same. J. L. BEVERLY. Foreman. ('. A. GROOVER. C. II. RICE, A.
