Belgian Fighting an Incident.
Germany Must Make Quick March
And Take the French Capital
(N. T. Herald.)
It would be only natural If Brus
sels wers to magnify the importance
of Belgian success at one point or
another, and Just ns natural for it t >
minimize the importance of defeat nt
other point*. Perhaps there nmst be
more hard fighting In Belgium before
we can determine whether there 1*
any prospect of the German advance
through that country being seriously
checked.
Military writers would be greatly
surprised at surli an outcome. To
their minds all this fighting in Bel
gium is but n beginning. The great
problem is not what the Belglana—■
oven with *uch assistance ns they
are receiving from Frame and Eng
land —can do hut what France can do
to stay the German advance at the

German success, according to the
German starlegists, depends upon a
quick march to Paris. The armies of
tip) Kaiser must sweep down upon
the French capital within three or
four weeks at most or the necessity
of protecting their own capital from
the slowly but surely oncoming hordes
of Russians will force their with
drawal from Franco.
What bus been and la happening In
Belgium represents the activity of
hut ono column of the** German ad
vance. Another column aeeme to have
driven the French, who had entered
Alsace, back to their own chain of
fortifications.
The real test will be at the French
border. The burden of holding back
the German advance there must be
borne by the French alone, since Eng
land’s assistance upon land cannot be
very great

they will put In cloth and hold it until the war is over.

Henry Van Dyke, American minister to
the Netherlands, however, has advised

Frankfort will make advances to well
known Americans without security.
Among here who leave on

Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription.
"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care Is
necessary. The eyes of old and young
should be p-operly bathed night and
morning. This Is more Important than
cleansing teeth." says he and then he
goes on to say:
“The following treatment Is worthy of
fullest confidence. It Is scientific. Im
mediately effective and positively harm
less to the weakest of eyes. Go to any
drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets,
dissolve one In a two-ounce bottle of
pure water and bathe the eyes two to
four times dally. What Is generally
known as eye strain will soon be banish
ed while the muscles and nerves are
permitted to perform their normal func
tions. It helps diseased eyes and It
keeps good eyes healthy; It Is absolutely
harmless In every way; does not smart
or burn, has a wonderful effect on gran
ulated lids and Is especially recommend
ed for dull, bleary or glassy eves. It
helps all eyes and should be m every
home for use In emergency."
The following extracts are from letters
received from users of this prescription;
"I used Optona one week for a cold
In my eyes; it did me a great deal
of good."
"My eyes have been falling for
years I am sure Optona Is doing
them good and shall continue Its
use."
"Have only been using Optona a
short time. My eyes are Improving
wonderfully."
"I find Optona very satlefactory
and recommend It wherever I find an
opportunity. I find It very sooth
lng."
*Tve been benefited by Orton* and
intend to follow the treatment."
"Have been using Optona for about
three months and It has greatly Im
proved my sight.”
“My eyes have been sore for sev.
sral years; were red and Inflamed.
Used everything recommended and
gatnd no relief I had my eyes ex
amined and wore glasses for six
months. I read of Optona and
thought I would give It a trial Am
glad to be able to state 1 got sat s
factory relief, and have not worn
niy g asses since. I f»el my eyes do
not require them."
Many others have mtde slmllnr re
ports. If your eves bother you. have the
above prescription filled; It may do won
ders for you. Do rot become a victim
of neglect. You perhaps va'ue your eves
more than any other organ, therefore
It's your duty to protect them. This free
prescription has given relief to thou
sands.

Judge Nash R. Broyles
Answers Alex. W. Stephens’
False and Slanderous Card
*
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA:—
In an&wer to A ex W. Stephens' 111-tempered and abusive card I have
thie reply to make: I would not have mentioned his name had he not by
himself and his paid agents, slandered me all over Georgia, 1 stood this un
til "forebearance ceased to be a virtue."
I have thrown no "mud" In my campaign—l have simply told the
plain, unvarnished TRUTH about Alex W.’s record as a lawyer, and from
his loud outcries. It would seem In his case that "the truth hurts."
Every statement In the circular, that he denounces ss a lie, Is TRUE,
and he and every other lawyer In Atlanta knows It.
Mr. Stephens charges that the names of two dead men are forged to
this circular. He refers to Hon. J. D. Kilpatrick and Gov. J. M. Terrell. It
Is true that these two distinguished Georgians are now dead—but two years
ago they were alive, and they both signed the article, a copy of which Mr.
Stephens now says is a lie! This Is a sample of Mr. Stephens’ fair (?) cam
paign methods'
Mr. Stephens, after begging In vain for the support of his home law
yers and home people, now turn on th em a stream of abuse and vilification
and denounces them, for campaign purposes, before the people of Georgia.
"It’s an 111 bird that befouls its own n estl" The people of Georgia will not
be deceived by such political methods—they know that the best Judges of a
man’s character and abilities are his home people, his neighbors and dally
associates. The people of Georgia realise that the trouble with Mr. Stephens
Is a bad case of "sour grapes,” and a sad case of demagogy! They will not
put a lawyer on the Court of Appeals who has been defeated In hla own
county for Justice of the Peace, for the Legislature, and for every other of
fice to which he has aspired.
While Mr. Stephens denounces this circular as a lie, he does not
deny that a few yeads ago he did Indorse a NEGRO politician for admission
to the Atlanta Bar. He would deny this If he could, but hit Indorsement
Is of record, and he dare not do so. On December 2, 1914, he Indorsed the
application of a NEGRO named Foster B. Pettle and recommended that he
be admitted to practice law In the Courts of Georgia. Mr. Stephens cannot
escape the consequences of tills Indorsement, namely: that tHIa NEGRO as a
lawyer would have the, right to sit with the white lawyers In the Court House
and to cross-question white witnesses, perhaps white women! What a spec
tacle for the people of Georgia Tha old Alexander Hamilton Stephana would
never have Indorsed a NEGRO'S application to becoma a lawyer. By the
way. Mr. Alex W. Stephens claims to be the nephew of the great Stephana.
I am reliably Informed that he Is one -half of a great nephew only—about at
close kin as a third or fourth coueln.
This circular that Mr .Stephens la now denouncing ae a lie la simply
a copy of that part of the article referring to hie record ae a lawyer pre
pared by Hon. J. D. Kilpatrick, Hon. Chat. T. Hopkins and hundreds of
other prominent lawyers and cltlxena of Atlanta, two years ago, whan Mr.
Stephens was running against Judge P endleton, and published In all of the
Atlanta papers. Why didn’t Mr. Stephana denounce It a* a lie then? He
dared not—because he knew that tha people of Atlanta knew It was trua!
Now he la deliberately attempting to deceive the people of Georgia by badly
and unblushlngly denying the truth! He la trying to ride Into office on hit
name alone, and because he It fortunate enough to be distantly related to
a great Georgian long alnee departed from this life. He It frantically try.
lng to divert attention from hit record as a lawyer, at a chronic and unsuc
cessful office-seeker, and at a NEGRO indorter. But he will not eueceed
The candidate now before the people le the living Alex W. Stephens, of At
lenta, and not the great and dead Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia. NO
he will not succeed, for “Truth It ml ghty and will prevail."
Respect fully,

NEGRO DROWNED DEE
BREDGE BOA! TODAY
Workman of A. J. Twiggs &

Eibley’s alley, a negro hand on the
dredge boat of A. J. Twiggs & Son,
which is at work on the river bank
at the foot of Lincoln street, acci
dently fell into the river this morn
ing and was drowned.
The dredge is doing preliminary
work for the levee, which, is built
nearly as far down the river as El
bert street now, and the negro, it is
said, stepped on a board extending
across the water and slipped and fell
in. He could not swim and the first
time he came to the surface a rod
was held out for him to take hold.
From fright or some other reason he
failed to grasp the rod and went down
but didn't come up again. It is said
he had $5 in his pockets.
A search was made for the body
and early this afternoon it was re
ported that it had not been recovered.
OTHERS, YES, BUT—
