July 8, 1901.
During the first week in July the
banks in New York City paid out
about $110,000,000 in dividends. In
January the dividends were about
$135,000,000, and including the
quarterly and annual payments on
such acnount, the annual distribu
tion of dividends in New York City
amounts to $250,000,000. The sum
is enormous, and the aggregate to
tal paid in dividends by the banks
and other corporations in all the cit
ies of all the states would stagger
the mind to grasp its immensity.
With so much corporate “stock” si
lently earning money for its owners,
it is not strange that a political par
ty is practically controlled by the
great money power.
What to do with one’s summer
vacation is a perennial question.
Most people have neither the money
nor the wish to go to an expensive,
over-crowded seaside or mountain
resort, and yet every man needs a
few days devoted to pleasure and a
complete rest at least once a year.
The Cosmopolitan for July gives a
solution of • the problem in a well-
written, illustrated article, “A House
boat—The Modern Palace.” Un
doubtedly a housebout offers a cheap
and comfortable vacation, and the
ranks of its devotees are constantly
swelling.
Labor unions whose members strike
in order to obtain justice, will never
control the situation until they learn
to control themselves. As a means
of enforcing their demands for fair
treatment, the laborers have a per
fect right to strike, but in resorting
to violence they repel rather than
invite the confidence and good opin
ion of the'public.

A Worthy Negro Dead.
Edward Davis, a very worthy ne
gro man, about 55 years old, died at
his home in the upper town district
last Sunday night.
He was a hard-working man, pru
dent and careful. About twelve
years ago he bought the Swift farm,
containing 400 acres, near the old
Bateman mill, and within four or
five years he paid every dollar of
the price. We understand he bought
other land later.
His conduct was such that he held
the esteem of the white people as
well as of those of his own color.
He was industrious, frugal, relia
ble, respectful, and it is to be regret
ted that so many of his race are to
tally unlike him.

A letter has been received from
Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin, who is
now in Austria, setting forth his po
sition on the tariff question. He says.
“Many papers have misrepresented
me, and without ground or reason.
I have stated my idea through the
press, and it is this: Where articles
can be made cheaper in this country
than in any other, and where they
have in fact, become articles of ex
port, they should go on the free list
if we are to be consistent with our
republican ideas of protection. It
makes no difference whether they be
made by an individual or a trust. If
our tariff is used solely to make
prices higher at home than abroad,
then there is all the more reason
why the tariff should come off. Can
anyone deny this proposition? In
order to say something, some of the
papers try to make me out a free
trader, and claim that I endorse the
democratic idea that all trust-made
goods should go on the free list.
This is simply ‘rot/ and i write this
that you may know just what my
views are.” Mr. Babcock would have
done better had he explained just
why this is “rot,” and in what way
his ideas differ from those that have
been urged by the democrats in the
last two congresses. -Washington

EYE SIGHT TESTED FREE
by one of the most renowned and successful as well as reliable Opticians in the
U. S. Mr. Hawkes has the modern appliances for the scientific adjustment of
glasses to the eye. There is no optician in the U. 8. who enjoys the confidence of
j the people more than Mr. Hawkes. His name is a familiar word throughout a sec
tion of country inhabited by over tweniy-five millions of people. Mr, Hawkes
has probably adjusted glasses to the eyes of more people of national and interna
tional fame than any other Optician living. This firm was established in 1870.
EYE STRAIN
is often the cause of healache, dizziness, nervousness and dimness of vision. This
can be cured in many cases by the correct fitting of his Crystal lenses to the eye.
Call early; he positively remains but three days, as he has other engagements for
later dates.
CAUTION.—I would caution the public against buying spectacles from ped
dlers, going from house to house with a lot of spectacles, representing them to be
Hawkes’or selling the same grade of goode. Hawkes’ Spectacles are NEVER
peddled. Many of the inferior glasses that tiood the country are positively injuri
ous to the eye.
From Ex-President of U. S., Grover Cleveland.
Executive Mansion, Washington, Dec. 2,1895.
A. I£. Hawkes, Esq.—My Dear Sir: I find your Crystalized Lenses well suited
to my eyes for far seeing. And I shall enjoy them on my shooting trips.
Yours very truly, Gboyei: Cleveland.

Mr. A. K. Hawkes—Dear Sir: When I require the use of glasses I wear your
Pantoscopic Crystalized Lenses. In respect to brilliancy and clearness of vision,
they are superior to any glasses I have ever used. Respectfully,
Fitzhugh Lee, Consul General to Cuba.
One of Onr Greatest Statesmen.
Mr. A. K. Hawkes—Dear Sir: The Pantiseopic glasses you furnished me some
lime since have given excellent satisfaction. I have tested them by use, and must
say they are unsurpassed in clearness and brilliancy by any that I have ever worn.
Respectfullv, Gen. John B. Gordon, Ex-Gov* of Ga. and U. S. Senator.
