$ qr &mithfirft Sirrah / Published Every Friday Morning. BEATY & LASSITER, Editors arid Proprietor*. Entered at the Piu-tuffii ? at Smith field, Johnston County, N. C., as second-class Matter. I ! Rates of Subscription: One Year, Cash in Advance.. $1.00 Six Months 10 Superintendent Canaday has been for the past several weeks publishing a series of very interesting and time ly articles concerning the rural schools, in the columns of The Her ald. Mr. Canaday is greatly Interest ed in the advancement of public edu cation in the country districts. The articles now appearing In The Herald, written by him, are well worth read ing and should arouse a new interest In things educational. Our esteemed contemporay, The Fayettevllle Index, Is urging the North Carolina Press Association to hold its meeting this summer In Fay ettevllle and then take a boat trip down the Cape Fear to Wilmington and hold the closing session at Wrlghtsvllle. If the Executive Com mittee is expecting to select a place In the East no better plan could be bit upon, in our opinion. This would give the "Knlgths of the Quill" an excellent opportunity to see some thing of the great river which we have all been hearing about since our early youth. By all means, let us accept the suggestion of The In dex. The House Committee on Naval Affairs has decided that If Comman der Peary wants Congress to honor | him he must submit his data of his North Pole Journey to that body. Mr. Peary has already sold bis data and proofs to the magazines and publish era of books. The Peary controver sy will not down. To the lay mind Mr. Peary Is hard to understand. While drawing pay as an officer in the United States Navy he went out into the frozen north and according to his story and the verdict of the National Geographic Society he found the Pole. The way some peo ple look at it the result of his la bors rightfully belong to the public. But Mr. Peary knows that he can get big money out of the publishers for bis story, hence he is content to wait. The money he will get for his writ ings mean more to him than the hon orary title of Rear Admiral in the American Navy. In his address here last Saturday before the Johnston County Teachers' Association, Prof W. 11. Ragsdale, County Superintendent of Pitt, em phasized the great importance of well-prepared teachers. In the wri ter's opinion he struck the keynote of the matter, and the pity of it all. Is the fact that so many of the teach ers of the county were not here to bear him. If Prof. Ragsdale's talk, (for after all, it was a heart to heart talk to teachers,) did not arouse a desire in the heart of every teacher who heard him to be a better teach er, then that person ought to quit teaching and go at something else. Houses and equiqment are very im portant in the school work, but the greatest heed, after all is good teach ers. Where there Is a teacher in the truest sense of the word, there will be a school whatever the lack in other lines may be. Let us seek to have better teachers by getting our teachers to prepare themselves as thoroughly as possible for their work. i Tax of $500 for Near-Beer Dealers. At a meeting of the Boad of Al derman Taesday night, an ordinance was passed making the tax on all the near beer saloons in the cor porate limits of the town of Smith field $500.00 per annum. It is un derstood this ordinance will not affect the licenses already granted, and it Is safe to say that those engaged in running these near beer saloons or better "Secondary Bar Rooms," can not realise any great profit under the abov? license tax, it is safe to say that as soon as tbe present existing licenses have expired | Smithfleld ill be '.ree from these degrading places of bu siness which exist now as sores upon the body of our thriving little city. Near-beer is beer under an assumed name, between the two there la on ' ly a distinction without a difference, and in passing this most wholesome ordinance the Hoard of Aldermen have conferred a great good upon the people of the entire commuuity. They Stopped the Paper. The Carthage News so offended a couple of its readers that they stop ped the paper?had It discontinued to their address. Ilut one of them did not have the manliness to notify the editor himself but resorted to the mean practice of refusing to take the paper out of the postofflce and have the postmaster do the noti fying. Needless to say that man owed for the paper and didn't send the money to pay for It when he stopped it. In referring to th? loss(?) sustained by having to drop these two names from its subscription list, the News says: We part company with these gen tlemen with reluctance, for they have both always been good friends of this paper; In fact, one of them was such a good friend that he received the paper about three years without paying anything for it. (He was the one who had the postmaster notify us that he refused to take the paper from the office.) Of course this was a most effective way to get It stop ped, and possessed the additional ad-j vantage of being free?d. h.?thus saving our friend at least one cent. Looking at the matter from an eco nomical point of view, he is certainly Justified, because one hundred cents make a dollar, and a dollar saved is a dollar made, therefore we freely forgive him. Some people have an exalted Idea of their importance to the life and well being of a newspaper. For in- ? stance, when they cease to take a paper. It Is surprising to them that it does not at once suspend publica tion. Hut in this they are mistaken. I While every newspaper naturally wants all the friendship and support it can get, the loss now and then of an individual subscriber is of very little consequence. And when it is one who does not pay for the paper (the deadbeats are usually a news paper's most severe critics and hard est to please) the paper is the gain er by such loss. As an example of what effect the loss of a subscriber has upon a' paper, stick your finger into a tub | of water, then pflll it out and look for the hole. I)o you see It? Well, when you get mad with the editor for exercising his right to take opposite views from yours and ex-1 press them and order your paper ( stopped, you will have Just about as hard a time finding the "hole."?Ex change. ____________ SMITHFIELD MAN CONFIRMED. J. C. Stancil's Appointment as Post master is Fixed. Washington, D. C., March 9.?The Senate confirmed the nomination of J. C. Standi to be postmaster at Smithfleld, this afternoon. Only a few days ago a batch of charges were preferred against the Smithfleld man, and the prediction was made by inter ested parties that this meant an in definite flight to prevent confoma tlon. There has been more or less poli tics over the confirmation of the ap pointment of Standi among Republi can politicians in the State. Being the choice of National Committeeman Duncan, he encountered the opposi tion of the forces opposed to the Re publican boss. Senator Carter, of Montana, first held up the nomination, and it was , said he did this at the instance of Marion Butler, l^ater Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, held up the nomi nation and the claim was made that he acted for Congressman Morehead. The presence of Postmaster Gen- | eral Hitchcock at the Senate Just be fore the executive session this after- , noon led to the suspicion In some | quarters that he was there to help his friend Duncan's candidate out of i a hole.?News and Observer. | By the close of next year about two million acres will have been re claimed by Irrigation in this country at a cost of $70,000,000. When the system is completed some thirty mil- ' lion acres will have been recovered | and opened for settlement. HELP RURAL DELIVERY SMALL'S FINE WORK SECURED LARGER APPROPRIATION. All ths Amendment* I i oking to an Increase In The Appropriation Voted Down Except That of the North Carolina Congressman? Congressman Pou's Resolution Re garding Delayed Legislation?Auto matic Gates and Other Things. Washington, D. C., March 8.?Con gressman John H. Small achieved a big victory In the House to-day when that body Incorporated In the post office department bill an amendment increasing the appropriation for the rural delivery service from $258,000 to one and a half million dollars. The Postofflce Department hit the rural delivery system a hard blow in recommending a cut In the Increase to the annual appropriation but Con gressman Small (who is a member of the Postofflce committee of the House) decided to rectify, if possible, the discrimination on the floor of the House. Accordingly, he Introduced his a mendment making the increase a mil lion and a half dollars, and it passed with the aid of practically the full Democratic vote and that of the in dependent Republicans. There were several amendments for the increase in the appropriation one of which was for four million dol lars, but they were all voted down, with the exception of the one offered by the Congressman from the first district. Mr. Pou on Delayed Legislation. A resolution was introduced in the House today by Representative Pou prescribing rules and regulations by which a majority of the membership of the House may at all times con trol legislation. One would think that such a thing is possible in a leg islative body, but It Is not true at all times in Uncle Joe Cannon's House. The proposed resolution provides that if any committee of the House shall fail to report a bill for a period of thirty days, It will then be in or der to bring the matter before the House following the circulation of a petition favorable to it which must be signed by a majority of the mem bers. The bill then becomes the matter of the highest privilege before the House, with the proposed amendment of the rules which Mr. Pou has of fered, has the endorsement of Dem ocrats in the House. Representative Ollie James, of Kentucky, has ex pressed the opinion that it would ter minate one-man rule In the House. Automatic Gates at Rural Delivery. A measure forbidding the discon tinuance of rural free delivery routes on account of the erection of gates over public roads unless such obstruc tion prevent carriers making delivery in the time scheduled by the post office department was introduced in the House today by Representative Pou, but it went out of the postoffice bilj on a point of order. The erec tion of two gates has resulted in the discontinuance of one of the most im portant routes leading from Smith field, though the carrier has made no objection. Mr. Pou has tried in vain to have the department suspend the order. Johnston county spent more than a thousand dollars last year on automatic gates for public roads, according to Mr. Pou.?Thom as J. Pence, in News and Observer. The great barrier of the Alps is now pierced by four railway tunnels^ the Mount Cenls, the Saint Gothard, the Simplon, and the Tauern. The last two have been finished within the past four years, but already a fifth tunnel, this time to pass direct ly under Mont Blanc itself, is pro jected. It will provide the shortest route from Paris to Turin and Genoa, will be about eight miles In length and will reach an elevation of over four thousand feet. The cost is es timated at twelve million dollars, and It will take five years to build it.? The Youth's Companion. Every day the railroads of New York city move 85 per cent, of the population of the city. During the past year the steamboat Inspection service of this country passed on 161,206 life-preservers.
