Sir: Referring again to correspondence received from you by the General Su? perintendent of Railway Mail Service in reference to the necessiity for a clerk to run between Sumter and Lucknow, S. C., he too, if possible, continue on to Florence, S. C., I would state that it does not seem pos? sible to arrange so as to have this clerk run through to Florence, but an allowance of one clerk will be made between Sumter and Lucknow, and an appointment of this kind-will be made as early in the coming fiscal year as practicable.

Sanders, Mgr. 6-20-23-27-30 W-S.-21-2S OBJECTIONS TO Sometimes people object to glasses, claiming that once put on they cannot see without them. This argument has no logical basis. If after putting on glasses the wearer finds it difficult to go without them, this simply proves that be? fore he wore glasses he was forcing his eyes beyond the limit of safety, a practice which, if continued, is sure to affect the health and sight. Just think for a moment, ii people derived no benefit from them, or if they were more bother to the wearer than the good they accomplish, do you think they would always use them ? There will come a time when the eyes will call for help ; they would not do so unless they really needed it. They ought then to be pro? vided with glasses. The person who lets pride, even excusable pride, stand in the way of this help is doing his eyes and health injustice and is merely paving the way tor future suffering and discomforts, Hours from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m, and 2 to 6 p. m.
