! ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF OlTOMETKISTS.
On the 9th and 10th inst. the Optoi
metrists of South Carolina met at
Greenville, and held their annual conmention.
From a standpoint of numbers,
enthusiasm, instructiveness ani
the number of prominent optometrists
and ophthalmologists on the program
this was by far the best convention
in the history of the state association.
This has also done more to put Soutn
Carolina on the map in optoinetrical
circles.
Among the prominent speakers
were: Dr. E. E. Arrington of Rochester,
N. Y., Dr. A. Swain Mitchell o!
Petersburg:. (Via., Drs. E. W. Carpenter
and L. O. Mauldin. both oculists o?
Greenville, 0. P "arson, of the
American Optical . of Southbridge,
Mass., and Dr. T. A. W. Elmgren o!
Columbia.
One feature of the convention
j the pledging of $2,000 for the National
Optometry Fund of $100,000, whici*
is for the present being invested iii
Liberty Bonds. Another was the
hospitality and goodVellowship of the
local oculists and optometrists, ana
is sure to result in more cooperation
and a better understanding between
physicians and optometrists generally.
The following officers were elected:
President, T. A. W. Elmgren of Columbia;
first vice president, W. R.
i
j Campbell of Anderson; second vies
I president, Miss Gertrude "Mabus o?
I Charleston; secretary-treasurer, R.
| A. Brown of Greenville.
e
j The next annual convention will upheld
at Charleston on April 14, 1910.

The Herald and Xe\v~ published on j

. ent the total apportionment of the ;
Liberty Bonds of the third issue ;
! which Newberry county is expected ;
, i to take as $303,100.u0. The apportion- :

made by the State committee is as
follows:
Chappells $,6,GOO.OO
Little Mountain $ 8,700.00
INewberry -$201.800.00
| Pomaria $ 9,800.00
j Prosperity $ 57,700.00
J Whitmire $ 21,000.00
' j These figures make $305,600 but
' I the total as miblished in the daily pa
I t:ers on Thursday and Friday wa3
I *303,100.00.
And the total as sent out from
I Richmond is $303,100, while the toj
ta? of the various apportionments to
I the several communities is .$305,600.00
! But that makes little difference as
j Newberry will go over the top any
way The point to be stressed is.that
it is desired that as many individuals
as possible take one or more bonda.
Especially should the tarmers tane
