That .the people of Raleigh fully
appreciate good eyesight is a fact
patent to everyone who takes the
time to visit the rooms of Dr. Ma
thez now at the Yarboro. ; The doc
tor has been here but a short time,
yet his pleasantoffloe is dally crowdVt
ed by persons desiring to have their
eyes tested by the renowned scien
tist, and appointments are" made for
every hour for days in advance. Dr.
Matthez does nottreat-the eyes med
ically- but mechanically and optl
cally(.. Those requiring medical
treatment are referred, to their own
famil y physician. Optios being a
mechanical ' branchy to which Dr.
Matthez devotes his entire, time,
makes it practicable for him to visit
at places away from his permanent
location, and at; the same time enjoy
the endorsement of - the medical
profession whereas . -it , be treat
ed "medically f in travelling it
would ie considered, we believe",
contrary to the code or ethics,
a sort of "traveling medical doctor.'
Dr, Matthez therefore keeps within
the bounds of .scientific work which
has extended over twenty-two years
in practice. He makes a thorough
scientific test of : the eyes and then
makes or adjusts glasses adapted to
the relief of whatever condition may
exist. Many of the most prominent
ladies and gentlemen of, this city
have had accurate and careful tests
made,., and after . being fitted with
glasses suited to the peculiar condi
tion of their eyes hae regained a
dear and perfect vision not before
enjoyed for many long years. Hence
it is that the doctor a office at the
Yar borough is a popular resort.
Some persons might wonder why
one of such skill and ability should
leave his office to come here. It may
stated that the t doctor's visjt
here at this time is the realization of
a long cherished p Fan to .spend a few
weeks in Raleigh to enjoy the ac
quaintance of the medical profession
and in demonstrating his ability.

Register of deeds. Brother Joe

gree staff captain. .Truth is, he
tokes - hold .of the wbrk with that
same earnestness which character
izes his efforts in all 'his undertak
ings. Success to you, "brother Joo.
Odd Fcllowsbip'and Society.
It is a notable fact' that "with the
divisions andn classifications of
human society, our order holds no
fellowship." The order does not
assume to dictate to society, nor
does it allow society to direct its acts
or point out its course. Odd Fel
lowship claims also administer both
justice and mercy without regard to
the false distinctions '-of society.
That there are false distinctions
made in 'the law all ara. bound to ad
mit, while there are, distinctions
whtoh-ar fight and pief 'fin ar
ranging its different grades it is a
pitiable fact that society very often
attaches more importance to a man's
appearance than to his real charac
ter, while Odd Fellowship reminds
ushat "some may have a rough;
unseemly appearance without, but a
good true heart within. "
It is not the Intention of the writer
toa'.temptto cerrect those errors,
but for the purpose of encouraging
those who are not able to appear
well, but who have every opportu
nity to cultivate and develop good
character which Is far better. An
other as great an error wquld be to
assume, that a persou of bad or of
doubtful 'appearance, must necoes
sarily posses agoodebaracter. There
is one thing positively sure, that all
must be weighed in the same scale
and be tested, by the same great
standard. So the wise course of the
true man is to strive to have bis life
and conduct conform to those funda
mental principles of the great book
of our Taw which says: "Mark the
perfect man" and declare that his
end is peace. One bf the most pleas
ant thoughts concerning the order
to the true Odd Fellow is, that be
fore its shrine no false distinction,
no creed or sect are allowed to stand
as such. v
But standing upon one-common
leel all the different nationalities
and men of all creeds and sects,
may unite for the good of humanity
and for the elevation of human char
acter.! I. onoe. knew a lodge connected
with another order,? whose, charter
members.! were! all seleoted ' from
among what some would style the
"bon tons.' It was thought that
no person was worthy to hold mem
bership therein, except the man with
soft hands and diked in a full dress
suit. ' It waa ; not long however,
before the mistake was discovered,
for when there was some special
"society '.' gathering, the lodge room
on meeting night stood in total dark
ness for not even a quorum could 1te
bad. The truth is fraternal societies
need fraternal members, religious
societies religious member and
benevolent societies benevolentmem

The Charlotte Observer of today
says:
"In spite of the fact that he dodged
his. duties in a time of crisis at the
supreme moment when a speaker
was needed in the House of Repre
sentatives Ambrose Hileman is
boasting that he is proud of his re
cord as speaker, and is audacious
enough to ask for double pay. He
failed to "screw his courage to the
sticking place," when he deserted
the speaker's chair during the pen
dency of the lease legislation to
Cook, Sutton and Lusk. A man who
had the right stuff in him would not
have shirked, with the plea of
hoarseness, at such a time. Ambrose
Hileman is the biggest failure of the
Legislature of 1897."
