Tho members of the advisory board,
who have served so faithfully the post
two years, wore re-elected, with the

The first item exhibiting a degree of
Improvement worthy of note is the re
cord of addition of books. At the be
ginning of the year there were in the
library 2,626 volumes, in fairly good
condition. There were added by pur
chase 376 volumes, and added by gift
35 volumes, making the total number
of volumes added 410. Volumes with
drawn, 50; total number of volumes
now in library, 2,866.
The following is a partial list of some
of the most important additions: Libra
ry of Literary Criticism, 8 voIb, ; His
tory of Modern Painting, 4 vols.; Com
parative Anesthetics, 8 vols.; Essays
by V alter Pater, 4 vols.; The IliadB of
Homer, 2 vols.; The Odyssey of Homer,
2 vols.; Trial of Jesus, from a Lawyer’s

During the year we issued for home
use 13,137 volumes, which was an in
crease of 93 over the issue of last year.
We made out during the year 186 mem
bership cards, besides 40 for students
of telegraphy.
The reference department has been
consulted more frequently than in 1908,
owing largely to the Ladies’ Study Cir
cle.
There are now on file in the magazine
or reading-room 26 monthly magazines
and 11 weekly papers and magazines.
Two monthly magazines and four week
ly papers are sent the library compli
mentary. Wo circulated during the

room has been frequently visited by
strangers, as well as by citizens, pupils
of the high school and students of tel
egraphy.
In closing this report, I wish to ex
press my grateful thanks to the board
for the confidence reposed in me, and
to the president especially for numer
ous courtesies extended.
Respectfully submitted,
Sue P. Wright,
Librarian.

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT.
’To the Board of Trustees of tho Car-
nogio Library—Gentlemen : I have the
honor to present to you tho Librarian's
report for the year ending Dec. 31,
1909.
It is a common saying that we live in
un age of progress, but it is a remark
that may be made of any age, for un
less the world does progress constantly
our condition would be pitiable. Some
years undoubtedly show a'tnoro marked
advance than others, and the result is
pleasing; and so it is with our library
the past year. Our aim Bhould be to
inukc this institution so necessary to
the citizens of Newnan that its Bteadi-
ly growing power for good will be clear
ly hIiowii in the statements of its work
made year after year. I am sure that
all the members of tho hoard have that
object in view, for since my two years’
term as librarian each one of you has
signified your upprovul of any sugges
tion in the way of improvement. You
have shown that you are of the opinion
expressed by Henry Ward Beecher that
“wo should live nnd labor in our time
that what came to us ns seed may go to
the next generation as blossom, and
that what came to us as blossom may
go to them as fruit—and this is what
wo mean by progress. 1 ’
Healthy progress, 1 am glad to say,
has been made all along the line in our
past year’s work, and the statistics
herewith presented will hear nte out in
the assertion.
Give Them Help and Many Newnan
People Will Be Happier.
“Throw Out the Life Line”—
The kidneys need help.
They’re overworked—can’t get the
poison filtered out of the blood.
They’re getting worse every minute.
Will you help them?
Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought
thousands of kidney sufferers back
from the verge of despair.
Will cure any form of kidney trouble.
J. T. Nolan, 12 First street, Newnan,
Ga., says; “The great relief Doan’s
Kidney Pills gave me is sufficient evi
dence of their worth. For three years
my kidneys were out of order, and
caused me much misery. I had darting
pains through the back and loins, and
whenever I did any work that required
any stooping or lifting, I was in abso
lute misery. The kidney secretions
finally began to act imperfectly, and
from this I concludel that my kidneys
were at fault. Reading about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I decided to try them and
got a box at Lee Bros. ’ drug store.
They improved my condition so much
that I cannot speak too highly in their
favor.”
For sale by all dialers. Price 60
cents. Foater-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

Remember the name—Doan’s—and
take no other.
A gentleman hurriedly entered a drug
store to find an address in the directo
ry, but found a lady studying the book
very intently. He waited as patiently
as he could for a time, but she seemed
no nearer the object of her search, and
as his time was limited he finally ven
tured:
“If you are in no great hurry, mad
am, would you be so kind as to allow
me to glance in that book for just a
moment?”
“Oh, certainly," replied she sweetly
as she relinquished it. “I was just
looking it over to find a pretty name
for baby. "'—Harper’s Magazine.
What Becomes of the Gold?
Augusts Herald.
The gold production of the world'last
year aggregated over $400,000,000. The
principal gold-producing countries were
South Africa, the United States, Aus
tralia, Russia and Mexico, although
Borne gold was mined in nearly all the
other countries.
South Africa contributed the great
est amount to the world’s stock of
gold last year, its share being a little
over $160,000,000, the United States
slightly less than $100,000,000, Aus
tralia about $80,000,000, Russia about
$25,000,000 and Mexico a little less than
$20,000,000.
In connection with the enormous pro
duction of gold the interesting question
is: What becomes of this gold? The
cotton crop of the South is more val
uable than the entire gold production
of the world, but cotton perishes with
its use. In less than three years from
the time it is produced practically
none of it remains. The same, applies
to almost all wealth-creating produc
tions. But gold is indestructible, and
since the stock of it is so much in
creased annually, what becomes of it?
It-iB estimated that about $150,000,-
000 worth of gold is consumed annually
in the arts, but even so it is not de
stroyed. Only a very small portion of
it is buried with the dead, in their teeth
and as ornaments, and ahother" small
part is lost in shipwrecks and other ac
cidents. All the balance must remain.
Where is it?
■ But assuming that it is lost, some
$260,000,000 annually remain to be coin
ed. What becomes of all this money?
There is less gold in actual circula
tion now than there was before this
enormous gold production began. At
the time of the discovery of America
there was as much gold money in circu
lation as silver money. In thirty years
following this event only about $100,-
000,000 of gold was produced. With
the discovery of gold in California and
Australia, the gold production increased
to over $100,000,000 a year, and the
South African and Alaskan mines in
creased the annual output to over
$400,000,000 last year.
Although this gold does not enter
actively into circulation, it must be
somewhere, and as gold is now the
basis of money in all countries, it must
have the effect of cheapening money,
under the law of supply and demand.
Does not this explain, in part at least,
whatis called the higher cost of liv
ing?
Cheap money means more of it to
equal the price of other commodities.
Money is based on gold; and the gold
production of the world, and of our
country, has been enormously increased
during the past ten years.

A New, Objection to Education,
From my boyhood I had never heard
our public men praise our people as the
most contented and upright under heav
en, home-loving and God-fearing. But
I encountered communities from which
all the best young men had gone, and
nobody could blame them; and many
who were left had ill worth loving.
Slatternly women, ill-fed, idle men, ag
riculture as crude as Moses knew—a
starving population, body, mind, and
soul, on as rich a soil as we have.
“ 'Pears dey gwine to eddicate every
body, yallet. dogs an’ all,” said one
countryman to another. “Presen’ly
dey’ll ’spec’ me and you to git book-
larnin’, John, and read de papers.”
“I’d lak to know who gwine ter wuk
an’ haul wood in dem days.” said John.
“Yes; an’ atter you lam to read, dat
ain’t all. It cost you a heap o’ money
den. Yer got to buy a paper; an’ did
you know dat a daily paper costs six
dollars a year? Atter day lam you to
read, dey don’ give you de paper, nor
no books nuther. ”
“Marriages,” quoted the dear girl,
“are made in heaven.”
“That being the case, ” rejoined the
wise bachelor, “I’ll wait till I get to
headquarters for mine.”
