This school is In the lower part of Smlthfleld town ship and has recently taken a for ward step that will mean much for the people of the district. A meeting of the patrons of this school was held at the school house on Thursday night of last week to consider the question of enlarging the bouse. Supt. Royall was present and made a talk. About thirty people, Including women and children, wore present. It was decided to add another room to the school house and subscriptions for this purpose were taken. In all about $125 in cash, and enough lumber, shingles, etc., to make the amount $175, was pledged. All present took a part in the work of raising money, boys under twelve pledging cash to en large the house. The people of that section are enthusiastic along school lines. And It might bo Interesting to note that this enthusiasm is due, In large measure, to their wide-awake and en thusiastic teacher, Miss Lillian Holt. In more ways than one Miss Holt has shown her deep Interest in the work of making better schools for the children and the move at Sand Hill will be a monument to her worth as a teacher. A live, effi cient, and wide-awake teacher in ev ery country school In Johnston Coun ty would be of untold worth to our educational interests. The people of Sand Hill have set an example worthy of emulation. Two great subjects are getting a good share of the attention of the American people at this time?Good Roads and Good Health. Hoth are trtremely important and too much Attention cannot be given them. RECIPROCITY AND THE FARMER. For weeks there has been a hear ing going on before the Senate Fin ance Committee on Mr. Taft's Cana dian Reciprocity measure. One of the arguments the lobbyists advance against the bill Is that it will hurt the poor farmer. Farmers from the west and northwest have been in duced to go before the committee and tell all about the evils staring them in the face on account of letting down the bars between this country and Canada. In the Washington cor respondence of the New York Sun of May 14th, the following story is given of "the poor farmer:" "Chief, of course, of the arguments presented against the Canadian reci procity agreement is the injury it will work to the poor farmer, and a number of Impoverished farmers hav? already appeared before the Finance ?Committee. Here are some exam ples: An impoverished slave of agriculture from North Dakota, who appeared under the auspices of Sen ator McCumber, admits that he went Weat when he was seventeen, that be bought land when It sold for a few dollars an acre, and that to-day he owns a paltry parcel of six thou sand acres: that he owns an automo bile, does practically all his farm ing by machinery and makes an an nual trip to New York for purposes of recreation. Another pleads that his holdings amount to only eleven thousand acres, worth not to exceed 1100 an acre. And still another has been able to acquire only twelve thousand acres, on which he can not raise to exceed twenty bushels ?f wheat to the acre, making his annual income, with wheat at $1 a bushel, something less than a quarter of a million dollars. The pathetic ?pectacle of these impoverished aonf of the soli frequently moves the members of the Finance Committee to shed briny tears, while only the heartless spectators at the press table are moved to secret mirth at this serio-comic tragedy."
