LIBRARY
This Municipality is One
of Ten Large Southern
Cities that Does Not Pro
vide Reading to Citizens.
There are thirty of the large cities
of the South that give their inhab
itants free library facilities through
municipally owned and operated pub
lic libraries. They are certainly an
inducement to citizenship besides be
ing highly educational. There are ten
cities that do not give those facul
ties, so far, and Augusta is amongst
this number.
On serious reflection it. must be
conceded that eight or ten thousand
dollars a year could harly be spent
to greater advantage In a community
of fifty thousand inhabitants than in
providing free books to every man,
woman and child. Just aH the Sun
day school libraries are very bene
ficial In furnishing book 3 to poor ehil
dren, and many that are Trot poor, the
free public library is servlcable, only
on a much larger scale With the
public library, with ample support,
the children comprise around fifty per
cent of the patrons in most cities, a
great stock of books being provided
for the children’s department.
The trouble, at the beginning, with
all cities in starting public libraries,
Is that It Is believed the work cm be
carried on with a small expenditure—
it cannot be done. Three or four
thousand dollars worUi of hook., and
periodicals per annum are necessarv
In a community of thirty or forty
thousand Iphabitants, to properly sup

ity and quantity of books. Books

use of a public library—Just as ohlV

dren's achool books wear rapidly un
dor their constant use—everybody
knows how soon those books wear
out. Without ample funds a public
library Is soon merely a building with
out books. Four to five thousand dol
lars per annum Is necessary to run
a library In th« city of thirty or
forty thousund. In addition to pur
chasing books and before a book is

entirely adequate. A large forc P is
Mceasary to wait upon the public
with books to all free, for cataloguing,
keeping accounts, etc. To adequately
operate a public library in Augusta
will require eight to nljie thousand
dollars a year, as will be seen in due
time. As the present library fund can
supply about fifteen hundred dollar*

EPWORTH LEAGUE
DAY AT CONFERENCE
Special Day To Be Devoted
To Affairs of This Church
Auxiliary at Thomson
Gathering,
At the district conference which
will be held in Thomson, Ga., July
15th, it is planned to devote one day
to an Epworth League meeting. A
large number of delegates from the
various Bwporth Leagues In tne dis
trlct will attend the meeting, and they
will b e entertained by the Epworth
League of Thomson, Ga.
Many will go from Augusta. They
have not yet been chosen and formal
ly listed, but a large number have
signified their Intention of being pres
ent at the meeting. St. James’ church
will be represented by about twelve
delegates. Each church will be al
lowed as many representatives as it
chooses to send and during this week
each one will probably elect at least
two delegates, and most of them will
send more.
At a conference yesterday held at
St. James' church, Mr. W. F. Barks
was elected delegate at large to the
district conference, thus completing
the number of representatives who
will go from St. James.
All the members of the church, the
Epworth Lehgue in particular, are
evincing much interest In the Ep
worth League day. The work of that
organization is being broadened each
year and the membership continually
increases. The league has proven a
very fine thing for th e younger mem
bers of the church who are Intensely
Interested, and through It they grow
Into the larger and broader work
which will be required of them as
members of their churches when they
are older.

An Instiurlon with the purpose of
educating in the science of grading

jected for Mliiodgevllle, Oa., and it
will be one of the first of its kind in
the country. It is to be known as
ihe American Cotton College and will
begin operation tho first of September
and expert cotton men will be in
structors In the college.
Interest In the establishment of
these schools Is quite general and in
Augusta will no doubt be watched
with more than usual ear* as this is
one of the greatest cotton centers in
the belt. There are many samplers
and graders educated here by actual
practical experience covering a pe
riod of years, hut no school of the
kind has yet been established with
the purpose of teaching the work.
It ma' be possible that eventually
an Institution of this kind will be es

no movement looking toward this end
has yet been inaugurated.

ANTI-SALOON
LEMME FORMS
Committee Named At Sun
day’s Meeting To Nom
inate Prominent Men As
Officers.
At the anti-saloon meeting which
was held Sunday afternoon at 5
o'clock at St. John church It was
unanimously decided to organize an
Anti-Saloon League in this city and
definite steps were taken toward ac
complishing this. A committee was
appointed to nominate prominent and
efficient men for officers of the or
ganization and to arrange all neces
sary details. Dr. A. A. Davidson act
ed as secretary pro tem. of the meet
ingSuuday.
The movement Is directed by Rey.
C. M. Ledbetter, and in a very force
ful and interesting address he dis
cussed first the saloon power, Its
plan for working, its method of car
rying out its plans, and the immense
fund which* it has on hand to forward
Its purposes.
He then outlined the scope of the
Anti-Saloon League, showing that
there is an active organization in
every state in the Union working to
suppress the sale of liquor either le
gally or illegally. He mentioned the
fact that there is a central committee
in every state watching closely all
laws affecting the temperance situa
tion and keeping the people posted as
to the operations of the liquor ele
ment, and suggesting means of com
batting the plans of the party.
Mr. Ledbetter then entered into a
j discussion of the good effects of pro
'hlbitlon showing the marvelous im
provement which he has noted In the
state at large. He stated as a remark
able instance that nearly all railroad
and street car conductors are now
enthusiastic prohibitionists on ac
count of the great improvement In the
traveling public caused by the ab
sence of drunkenness. Mr. Ledbetter
quoted remarks made by several Au
gusta conductors Indorsing this state
ment.
At the close of his address those
present were unanimously In favor of
organizing the Anti-Saloon League tn
this city and within a short while
such an organization will be perfect
ed with competent men to direct It,
and with well ordered plans to com
bat the liquor clement In the state.

Mr. J. E. Luke, of the firm of Luke

of it all there is a Herald “Want Ad”
moral with a world of meaning.
Last week a member of Mr. Luke’s

of “ ’61,” around which clings legends
galore. The old treasure was valued

and through all the years of the great
struggle. Immediately after the grad
uation. the pin was kept safe, and
on down through the years of adver
sity and at last again back to days
of Southern prosperity.
But last Tuesday afternoon, in a
moment of ill-luck, the pin dropped
from its fastenings, perhaps from
some filmy lace of old Southern days,
and somewhere in the city’s crowded
streets it was buried in the debris
of the day’s accumulation. A sort of
a sorrow overwhelmed the owner, and
after much consideration a Herald
“Want Ad” was decided upon.
Within two days the missing treas
ure turned up, much to the joy of
the owner, and a reward was given.
A negro—one of the honest kind—•
had found the tiny bit of gold and
read The Herald’s wants and car
ried the pin back.
