- Those people who are afraid that in
the event of the free coinage of silver
"gold will be at premium" may as well
put their fears in their pockets. The
truth of the matter is that gold is already
at a premium of pretty nearly so per cent,
and Just to the extent that the value Of
silver will be enhanced by free coinage,
that premium will be reduced.

THERE WILL BE SOME SINGING.

When it was stated that the music at
the proposed McGill reunion at Smyrna
on September had been placed in charge
of Mr.. w. Meek Faulkner, we realized
that there were a great many people who
did not know just exactly what to expect.
That is because, except throughout Wes-
tern York, it is not generally known thai
Mr.. Faulkner is a thorough master of
vocal music.
But when this fact is understood, and it
is also remembered that the whole wes-
tern portion of the county from Glover.
by way of Bethany, Sharon, Hickory
Grove and Smyrna is filled with native
Seceder psalm singers and that Mr.. Faulk-
ner is at liberty so select from the whole
country scores of the best trained voices
in it, those who are interest ed will not be
seriously disappointed if they allow them
selves to expect something unusual.
Just what shape the musical part OF the
programme will tske has not yet been
definitely decided. 1t has been suggested
that if ta:s part of the exercises takes
place in the open air, it will probably be
desirable to have brass band but if the
exercises take place in the church, the
choir of half hundred or more trained
voices that will probably be organized
will not need any instrumental assistance.
In any event the singing will be great
feature. Mr.. Faulkner has been studying
the matter up for weeks and has already

DIPHTHERIA IN ROCK HILL.

DR.. T. A. Crawford and Prof. j. w.
Thomson of Rock Hill, were in Yorkville
on Wednesday and Thursday in attend
ance on the elders and deacons' conven-
ton, and reporter took occasion to ask
them about the rumored epidemic OF
diphtheria in Rock Hill. 1t seems that
the matter has been very much exag-
Grated.
Instead of four deaths, as reported there
has really been only one. Although there
have been several other cases that were
thought by some to be diphtheria as to
whether or not they were, is a matter OF
doubt. The people generally were very
much frightened, of course, and all man
ner of wild stories were quick to gain
currency.
A little child of Mr.. J. n. McElwee was
afflicted with the disease but at last ac-
counts was thought to be entirely out of
danger. DR.. Crawford is of the opinion
that the developed cases were merely
sporadic, and that there was little. if any,
danger of an epidemic. The people, how
ever, continue to exercise every possible
precaution, and the excitement over the
matter has about subsidized.

Mr.. EDITOR: For some time my mind
has been dwelling on matter which
seems to me one of grave moment, and
feel that it is only right to bring it before
the fathers and mothers in our village,
and, at the same time bring it to the at
tention of those who have the power to
apply remedy, if they agree with me as
to the cause of the trouble.
Have the parents of our town noticed TIE
increase in weakness and other troubles
with the eyes of our school children? If
not, just stop and think how many are
wearing glasses, or complaining of their
eyes feeling bad. What is the cause? l
thinkit is the method so much in vogue of
putting such large proportion of the
school work on the blackboard and COM
pelling the scholars to study or copy
from the board. If anyone thinks this is
easy, let them visit the schools and copy
ten or twelve columns of figures. know
of a case where parents scolded a little
girl for not being able to spell a word
given on the board; questioning her
showed she was not able to see the word
and then her parents regretted their
haste. She told how tears ran down
her face staring at the board, and she
told OF other little children troubled in
the same way. Is this right No of
course not. When we went to school we
did our examples on our states and then
went to the board and put on which sum
we were told to, explained it, and rubbed
it out, and that was all.
The eye is an exceedingly delicate organ,
and the loss of sight is the greatest mis-
fortune that can befall person. If our
children obtain an education they can
earn good living even though they.may
lose an arm, or leg, provided they can
see WE'LL but if they lose or impair their
eyesight they are prevented from enjoying
a very pleasant life, or turning their
hands to many kinds of profitable en-
ployment.
If the reason l suggest has anything to
do with the increase of eye troubles,
should not the system be changed? One
of the members of our school board is a
ply sician. am sure many would eglad
to hear his views on this matter. 1t is
worthy of serious consideration. The
old-iashioned slate and pencil work
brought out good mathematician when
we were young, without endangering or
injuring the eyes, and although the world
may be progressing in general way,
some of the olden time methods may be
the best. A PARENT.

As Moses Currier was coming into the
village last Tuesday afternoon to vote,
driving a colt, when on Railroad street
near Coffey's paint shop the colt became
frightened at passing train, jumped on
one side, throwing Mr.. Currier out of
his wagon, and rs he fell the colt kicked
him, breaking his left leg below the
knee. The colt ran short distance and
fell into a heap of scrap tin, escaping
with few slight scratches. The neces-
sary surgical aid for Mr.. Currier was
rendered by DR.. Ellie and he is doing as
well as could be expected. He is at the
home of Mrs. B. NJ. Dale where he will
have the best of care and attention.

We are very sorry indeed to learn OF
the grievous misfortune that has befallen
w. E. Jones the venerable editor of the
Richmond, (Que.) Guardian, and father
of w. E. c. Jones OF this place. His en-
tire plant which has taken him many
years to accumulate was destroyed by
fire last Monday night, and his great loss
is covered only by $500 insurance. The
Guardian was always a jealous and able
advocate of conservative principles, and
its suspension at this time will be seri-
ously felt in the Eastern Townships gem
orally, and among the rank and file of
the conservatives especially. We always
enjoyed reading the Guardian and con-
sidered it one OF the best papers in the
province of Quebec. Certainly none were
more ably edited, and we hope to well
come it again.
