The Canadian Agreement
The Democrats in the house
have acted wisely in deciding to
support, the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. The vote was 90 to 22.
As the Savannah Press has al
ready pointed out, this agreement
will be a good thing for the coun
try. It is the first step in the di
rection of low tariff. It is an
acknowledgment by the govern
ment that the present tariff is too
hgih and that the people should
have some releif in the reign of
the present exorbitant prices.
The Democratic contention all
along has been that the Pavne-
Aldrich tariff bill worked an in
justice to the people. President
Taft, who has defeated this lull, is
now the first one to shoot a hole
in it by proposing this trade agree
ment with Canada It is an im
portant concession and is a recog
nition of :he Democratic conten
tion. It will help rather than
hurt the cause of tariff reform
When the Democratic house comes
into power it will continue the
work begun by President Taft
and go right along making the
tariff reduction general and en
forcing the principle already
established.—Press
The remains of our old friend
Mr. B. F. Spivey were brought to
Lyons for burial Thursday morn
ing and a number of our people
met it at the depot. Mr. Spivey
was taken suddenly ill from an
acute case of Bright’s Disease
about a week ago near Quitman
and in spite of the heroic work
and care of friends and physicians,
his soul took its flight to the un
known beyond. He was a fine old
gentleman, liked by all who knew
him, and his funeral was largely
attended. Rev. J. W Kytle offi
ciated at the ceremony The re
mains were accompanied to Lyons
by a brother, who lives in Savan
nah, and a close friend. Mr. Paule
tte of near Quitman. Mr. Spivey
was one of the pioneer citizens of
Lyons and in a later issue will sav
more about him.
The property of the Vidalia Ad
vance, sold by the Sheriff last
Tuesday, was bought in by J. E

under the same management as
before.

The State College of Agricul
ture will run its second education
al train this spring. It will be
equipped with seven cars leaded
with manv things which will lie of
valuable information for the farm
ers. One cur, for instance, will be
loaded with live stock. A strong
force of able lecturers will be on
board to lecture on practical top
ics for the farmers. Providence
permitting, I have agreed to es
cort the tram through the First
Congressional District. I am anx
ious to have as many of the farm
ers of the different counties meet,
us as possible at Lyons Feb. 20th.
Our schedule puts us at Lyons
at 3:130 p. in., on February 20th.,
I hope to- meet ns many farmers of
T-oni'is countv as possible at
Lyons.
The Chamber of Commerce of
Vidal ia sent me a long petition
asking that the train stop at Vi
dal ia. I forwarded the request to
Dr. Soule, of the State College,
and urged that we arrange to stop
at Vidalia. I trust we may be
able to do so. At any rate, let all
the schools and people generally
of Toombs arrange to meet us at
Lyons and Vidalia on the 20th.

A Mr. Gee, who claims to have
conducted the popular voting con
test for our neighbor, the Vidalia
Advance, has sent us a communi
cation that brands and charges
fraud in the contest. It is very
personal against the manager of
the Advance and we think it pro
per to omit the matter as it is of
no concern to us. These contests
alway scause strife and we don’t
want to be the organ through
which it may be aired.

right when he arrived.
