School Notes
During the past term an effort
has been niie to extend the uses
of the library in the Flat Rock
school. The children have been en
couraged to read the books, appro
priate titles have been suggested
and the general reading has been
' guided as far as possible.
The reading habit with children
is a matter of growth and training.
Some come to it slowly, others
e gerly and readily. There are few
who may not, with the proper

There has been an encouraging
growth in this direction among the
pupils of the Flat Rock school.
Nearly seventy-five children of
eligible age have drawn books from
the library and about three hundred
and. fifty volumes have passed the
librarian's desk in this way. Cer
tainly there are few agencies better
calculated to promote the intellect-

ture oi a community man a wen

known and recognized by the larger
and more progressive cities that
money is appropriated for the pur
pose with an almost lavish hand.
The trustees of the Flat Rock
school have just authorized a fur
ther appropriation for new books,
and the friends of the school hope
and look for increased interest and
benefit among the children.

The matter of an up-town express
office was discussed Tuesday morn
ing at the Gates before Corporation
Commissioner Rogers. A number
of persons were present; and a num
ber of others would have been pres
ent if they had received notice of
the time and place of the hearing.
Judge Ewart spoke in behalf of the
pii'inn for an un-town office. W.
A. Smith was employed as counsel
by the express company to oppose
the change.
After both sides had been , heard,
the commissioner f ordered the ex
press company to file with the com-
mission lniormauon on me iouow
ing points: Receipts of office, ex
pense of proposed change, place of
origin of out-going express, place of
delivery of in-coming express, etc.
Decision will be announced when
the commission' has considered the
information called for.
r Meanwhile, whatever may be the
action of the commission as to the
iip-town office, there is no doubt as
to the great improvement in ser
vice which has followed upon the
few, brief remarks which The Times
made in Decemberr Signs and
receipt books have been distributed
along Main street, and the patrons
on that thoroughfare can.now have
their? out-going 'express called for
promptly Mr- Bailey positively
assures us that this system will be
permanently continued, nnd that in
the"summer it will be extended to
all the large boarding houses, on
other streets thus providing for the
accommodation of visitors.
Furthermore, we are informed
that arrangements are under way
for the removals the express office
to this side of the railroad tracks at
a -point south; of Ithe present pass
enger depot. . This will avoid the
danger and delay of crossing the
tracks, and the .congestion of traffic
on Anderson avenue will be -re
lieved by vprovidmgi another route
for hauling freight and express to

forcement of the law is not consist
ent wLh the present method of
carrying on business, then it does
not speak- well for the present
methods of conducting business and
they must be changed to conform
to the law."
This was President's Taf f s answer
to Wall streeL and us cry ot "panic."
It was made to a cheering audience
of hundreds of prominent republi
cans gathered tonight at the annual
Lincoln day dinner of ihe Republi
can club of this cicy held at the
Waldorf-Astoria. Governor Hughes
shared the honors of the evening
with the President
Defending the Payne bill the
President declared that it substan
tially complied with the party
pledge for tariff revision and that,
through this bill, ihe party has "set
itself strongly in the right direction
toward lower tariffs."
The President quoted statistics to
demonstrate that during the nrst
six months of the new tariff law
there has been shown a 12 per cent
reduction in the percentage ad val
orem duties have paid on imports
and a 12 per cent increase in the
per cent of imports admitted free
Time and a wider knowledge, he
thought, would serve to justify the
bilL
He quoted statistics to show that
the revenue derived from the Payne
bill was 100 more than from the
Wilson-Gorman bill and about 30
more than from the Dingley bill.
" Basing his remark on these and
other figures; the President declared;
"The. present customs law is the
best customs law that has ever been
passed and it is most significant in
this, that it indicates on the part of
the republican f party the . adoption;
of a policy, to a change,from4 an in
crease in duties, to a" reduction of
Laurel Park
Great progress has been made
with the. developments of Laurel
Park and the extension of the
Laurel Park railway. The new
lake is practically completed, and
the canal connecting it with Rain
bow lake is almost ready to have
the water turned in. A large
amount of the grading of the exten
sion of the railway has been done.
E'G. Stillwell has gone to Chicago
to inspect equipment for the rail
way. In speaking this week to a rep
resentative of The Times-with re
gard to the progress of the work,
Mr. Smith said:
"Ninety nine percent, of the work
on the lake and canal is done;
seventy-five percent, of the grading
for the railway is done. I am look
ing for an early season, and expect
to be prepared for it. This year,
as in the two past years, I expect to
begin running the cars before the
volume of traffic will be sufficient
to make it pay."

Wants It Soon
When will the republican disrri t
convention be held? That is a ques
tion which is arousing a good deal
of interest just now. There "is a
strong feeling that the date ought
not to be later than the latter part
of March. A well-known republi
can, speaking about this matter a
few days ao, said
"The convention ought to be held
some time in March, and I hope the
call will be issued soon. We ought
by all means have an early con
vention. Twojvears ago we had an
. w -a . t
early convention, ana mat was one
of the things that helped us to carry
the district."
There's no such thing as a wise
government except to those who
are running it.
Must Have It
We have received from John W.
Hampton, who has been dividing
his time between Hendersonville
and Land rum, a postal card reading
as follows:
"I leave today for St. Petersburg,
Fla. Change my address; I must
have The Times."
