WE SEW LIBRARIAN
Iwigrussionil Library Taken Out of the
■F Hands of Ainsworth R. Spofford.
J RUSSELL YOUNG SUCCEEDS HIM
[ ■ Will Retain Mr Sp. fiord a? His Assistant
old Librarian His Tired of the
Re.pjuslb lity —" h»t HsSays.
/ »
i John Bussell Young, scholar, diplo
mat aud newspaper man, is now
j librarian of congress. 3
i Ainswortij R, Spofford, for thirty
yeaj^ t Xibttrian of congress, is the
librarian’s chief assistant.
As foretold in a dispatch to The
Times-Herald last night, the President
this morning sent to the senate the
nominations of Mr, Young and Mr.
Spofford. This afternoon the senate in
executive session confirmed them, along
r with the nomination of Bernard R.
i Green to be superintendent of the li
brary building and grounds, which
had been made at the same time.
Thus on the Ist of July, the begin
ning of a new fiscal year, Mr. Young
assumes control of a collection of 700,-
) 000 books housed in the greatest li
brary in the world.
There is a sad side to this story. It
discloses the bitter whims of fate. Mr.
Spofford all his life has dreamed of a
magnificent Horary building. Daring
I the erection of the beautiful building
j now about to be occupied he has looked
forward longingly to the day when he
would be installed in his new quarters.
Now that the day is at hand he goes
into the building as a subordinate,
In this Mi, Spofford is satisfied. He
, said today that there were three rea
sons which impelled him to say to the
President that he would not be a
candidate for renomination as librarian.
He is admonished by advancing years
that his usefulness is dependent upon
preserving health and strength.
Mr. Spofford’s duties under the new
system will be to furnish that informa
tion aud aid to senators and repre
• seiftatives, to scholars and to the gen
i eral public which befits his long ex
' perience and services. In this connec
r tion the selection of accessions to the
stores of the great library, so much
■ needed in many departments of science
and literature, will naturally fall to
I him.None'of the varied interests of
I th is collection will fail to receive his
co istant co-operation and advice.
Complete sympathy will exist be'
■ tween Mr. Young and Mr. Spofford in
t their official relations. They have been
I friends for thirty years, and it is under
stood that when the President first
broached to Mr. Young the subject of
his taking charge of the new library
Mr. Young said he would not consider
the matter at all unless it was abso
lutely acceptable to his old friend Mr.
Spofford. Under the arrangement of
their duties there will be no clash, and
it is expected that their official rela-
1 tions will continue in harmony with
their personal relations of long stand
ing. Mr. Young’s salary will be $5,000
per annum, and Mr. Spofford will re-
I ceive the same compensation that he
I now commands, $4,000 per annum.
John Russell Young is almost, as
well known as Mr. Spofford. He has
been connected for many years with the
greatest journals of the land. During
, the early years of the war he was
stat oned in this city as the correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Press. Subse
. qnently he was managing editor of the
‘ New York Tribune, and afterward an
edit® rial writer on the New York Her
a’.d. He has always maintained, as he
does at the present time, a connection
with literary and newspaper work.
Mr Young was one of President
B Grant’s warm friends. General Grant
F held him in the highest esteam and Mr.
Y mng accompanied him upon his tour
f eround the world, afterward writing a
I book called “Around the World With
I Grant.” Mr. Young was appointed

In speaking of him today Mr. Spof
ford said: “I have known him for
twenty-five years. He is a man of broad
and scholarly attainments and of exe
cutive ability, and will, in my opinion,
excellently fill the important position
of head of the greatest library in the

Mrs. Barnett was the widow of the
late Larkin Barnett, one of the pioneers
of this section. She leaves four children
to grieve at her demise. They are Dan
W. Barnett of Lindale, Mrs. George S.
Black of Lindale and Mrs. Taz White
head and Mrs. Dick Whitehead, of
Blanket Tevas.
The Barnett family is ohe of the
oldest and most prominent in North
Georgia.
The funeral occurred yesterday after
noon at 4 o’clock in the family burying
ground on Silver Creek. The services
were conducted by Rev. W. S. W al
lace, of Cedartown. A large number of

The goods on their counters and

nothing is ever misrepresented. What
they say of their offerings may be ab

Displaying the Fireworks.
To give a successful display of fire
works the amateur or paterfamilias
should eschew sameness and not get
rattled. The constant firing of rocket
after rocket of the same kind is mo
notonous and excessively tiresome.
After selecting your material it is
just as well to look over your pieces dur
ing the daylight, setting them up ready
for firing before dark. You might get
rattled at night and flare up the
whole outfit with a single stray spark.
Bee that your wheels run freely on their
nails. Bury your mines and batteries
half way in the ground, so that it will
be impossible for them to turn over and
bombard yohr house or your friends,
and always keep your surplus rockets a
good distance away from the scene of
operations, never putting them on the
ground, but placing them against a wall
or fence, so that there is no danger of
their going off prematurely.—New York
Herald.

BESIEGED BY TRAMPS
Ifift.eea Thousand in Kihsas Moving WeM
wjrrt
Denver, July s.—An army of 15,000
tramps is moving westward. At pres
ent it is in Kansas. It is approaching in
four divisions, following the various
lines of railways, and so troublesome
has it become that the people have peti
tioned the railroads to carry them on
p the coast. tramps forage upon
the country until there is nothing left.
They beg everything in the way of old
clothes, money and raea's, aud the in
habitants have begun to look upon the
movement as a serious matter. The
Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific
have placed shotguns aud guards on
their trains.
Last week a tramp named Bailey
was killed at Salina by a brakeman
named Callahan. He was riding on the
brake beam. The brakemtn descended,
and, it is said, kicked Bailey with suoh
violence that he fell and was ground >o
a pulp under the wheels, the train leav
ing a trail of blood a mile in length.
The tramps infest the wheat fields at
night. Such is the story told by James
Wright of Topeka, a prominent railway
and express officer, who is stopping at
the Windsor. There is no denying the
story.
The tramps will pass through Color
ado on their way to the Pacific coast in
the wake of the Christian endeavor
convention excursionists. They state
that they are endeavoring to secure
work in the irrigated valleys of the
West. What will they do when they
reach the coast is a question. They have
no means and are a mena.e. Some of
them say they are making tracks for
Debs new haven in Washington, where
they expect a Utopia.
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich,, we
are permitted to make this extract: ‘‘l
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvelous in the case
of my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia

ADAIRSVILLE DISASTER.
•
The Fourth Victim Is Dead aud the Wound
ed Tenderly Nursed.
Adairsville, Ga., July s.—Clarence
Branch, who was wounded in the ex
plosion already mentioned, died after
lingering in agony and pain. This is
the fourth man killed. A visit to the
field in which the boiler exploded has
the appearance of a battle field jwhere
well-trained cannon left their marks
by the explosion of shells. This acci
dent was a most singular one from the
fact that the force of tho explosion
went forward and then in an oblique
direction. • As is usual with those who
understand their business, the sepa
rator was placed between two stacks
of wheat. In the rear of this was a
small grove of oaKS. The engine parts
were hurled over the separator, killing
two men as it passed and coming down
struck a tree in the grove several hun
dred feet away, smashing iron and steel,
killing two more men as they stood
near the tree. The boiler on wheels
was thrown 150 yards to the left of the
straw stacks, passing over several teams
that was standing in the field.
The wounded, Handy brothers, Tow
ers and King, are being nursed closely,
and hopes are entertained for their
speedy recovery. The loss to property
will be a six-horse power engine and a
badly damaged separator. The dead
men had families except weems, who is
a single man from North Carolina.
A threshing machine whde at work
north of town, caught fire and, to
gether with fifty bushels of wheat, was
entirely consumed. No insurance
When to Sow Onion Seed.
Question. —When should I sow on
ion seed, say in the latitude of Macon,
to make early onions for market the
following spring?
Answer.—Sow, in a well prepared
•eed bed, from the middle to the last of
September. When the plants are 2%
to 3 inches higli set them out in rows 18
inches wide and 4 inches apart in the
row. If your land is well prepared and
highly cultivated your onions should be
ready for market early enough to com
mand a good price. Should the weather
be exceedingly cold in the winter, a
light mulching would be of benefit.—
