Librarian’s Report.
Newnan, Ga., Dec. 31, 1915.
To the Board of Trustees of the
Carnegie Library, Nownan—Gentlemen:
The librarian, in submitting tha li
brary report for the eleven months of
her administration, dating from Feb. 1,
1916, wishes first to express her sin
cere appreciation and grateful thanks
to the trustees for their uniform cour
tesy and kindnesB. Whatever degree
of success she may have attained in the
library work is due in large measure to
this interested co-operation and never-
fading helpfulness, and to the efficient
instruction of her most capable teacher,
Misb Katherine Wootten, former libra
rian of Atlanta Carnegie Library. The
ladies of the advisory board have ren
dered excellent aid in the selection of
books and periodicals, and to them, too,
the librarian owes a debt of gratitude.
To a kindly, courteous public, many of
whom have made gifts of books and
flowers, she wishes also to return
thanks.
The changes and improvements made
in February last have proven very sat
isfactory, the new shelves greatly in
creasing the capacity of the library
and relieving the former over-crowded
condition. The bulletin boards, the
new catalogue caseB, and the new tiling
at the entrance, are valuable additions,
and add much to the attractiveness and
usefulness of the library. The changing
of whht was formerly the reading-room
into the general library room has met
with popular favor. This change wassug-
gested by Miss Wootten, heartily sanc
tioned by the librarian and approved
by the trustees, and that it has elicited
so much favorable comment is a source
of much gratification.
The library hue hud a steady growth
in patronage, as well as in the accumu
lation of books. There has been a gain
of 426 momberB since Feb. 1, 1915, not
including the students of the Telegra
phy School, who hove onjoyed its privi
leges while in our city.
In the year 1908,13,044 volumes were
iBBued for home use. This year the
circulation was 20,236, an increase of
7,102 books, which Bhows how the pat
ronage of the library has grown with
years.
We have now on our roading tables
60 periodicals, and the accession books
show that 4,897 volumes have been
catalogued up to date. Since Feb. 1,
1916, 1,011 books hare been accessioned
and catalogued, and 554 bookB have
been added by purchase and gift.

library work the figures all date from

Riding the Editor.
Bulloch Time*.
Everybody rides the newspaper man,
And why shouldn't they? He needs
something to keep him busy. Might
get into mischief, you know, if he is not
held down.
Hundreds of people who take the
paper (and never pay for it) excuse
themselves on the ground that the edi
tor must be kept busy. Hundreds more
who do not take it borrow from neigh
bors to look for their cards of thanks,
which they have Bent the editor for free
publication. The editor must have
something to “fill up on," you know—
that is, fill his paper with, not his
purse. And a number send in little
political puffs—so interesting to them
selves and. their few friends. All this
is offered as "filler,” because the paper
must have something in It, otherwise
it would be empty, you know. Of
course, it doesn’t cost more than a do!
lar a column in actual cost to get this
matter in type, and the printers must
be kept busy, otherwise they would
grow Btale. Nothing will keep a
printer busier than to set a column
obituary, ending with several verses of
rhyme, “Darling loved one, thou hast
gonest. ” He likeB to set it in type just
for practice, especially when sent in by
an admirer who never has subscribed
for a copy of the paper in all its exis
tence, and who requests sample copies
free to be Bent to all the relatives of
the one who has “gonest."
There is yet another grafter, how
ever, on a bigger Beale and with big
ger nerve, and that is Uncle Samuel, of
the PoBtoffice Department. He col
lects from us weekly at the rate of a
cent a pound for postage—more than
the express companies would charge
for the same service; forces us
to pay additional box rent every time
he makes any sort of a change in post-
office arrangements and cbIIb it an im
provement; uses our money to pay
every employee in his service a good
salary, with holidays thrown in, etc.,
handles our papers only when it is con
venient to do so. To show his appre
ciation of our needs, he keeps an extra
man on the pay-roll at headquarters to
write interesting advertisements about
rural route examinations, postal rules,
savings banks, parcel post, etc., all of
which are business enterprises, and
handB them into the office with clock
work regularity — juBt as “fillers.”
This “filler" business iB one of impor
tance with everybody, from Uncle Sam
on down to the humbleBt citizen. They
are all bent on giving the editor some
thing to fill up on—fill up his columns,
not hiB purse.
Everybody rides the editor — then
why not Uncle Sam?

He Oould Hardly Go.
About two years ago I got down in
my back until 1 could hardly go," writes
Solomon Bequotte, Flat River, Mo. "I
got a 60c. box of Foley’s Kidney Pills
and they straightened me right up.”
Common symptoms of kidney trouble
are backache, headache, rheumatic
pains, sorenesB and stiffness, puffinesa
under eyes, blurred viBion, Bleep-dis
turbing bladder troubles, and a languid,
tired feeling. Foley’a Kidney Pills help
to eliminate tho poisonous waste mat
ter that causes these symptoms. J. F.

The Faithful Mule.
Louisville Courier.Journal.
The Vine Grove Sentinel’s touching
account of the “untimely death" of
Uncle Jack Hinton’s favorite mule,
which passed away at the end of its
thirty-eighth year of life and thirty-
sixth year of Bervice, calls attention to
the healthiest, heartiest and most use
ful of all beastB of draft and burden.
The mule is singularly free from the
ills to which horseflesh is heir. He has
more days’ work in him in 365 consecu
tive days than any farm animal or
farm engine. He requires less feed
when at work than any horse that can
appproach his capacity, for when he is
idle he can forage successfully where
the draft horse finds the pickings too
slim. He takeB pot luck with his
owner cheerfully, and keeps fit upon it.
In peace the mule is man’s most
faithful servant, although the gentlest
of his kind is not entirely free from
original Bin, and the oldest may experi
ence unaccountable sporadic outbursts
of devilment.
In war the mule retains his chararac
ter as a hard toiler, a good scout and a
homely figure, about whom the poets
and painters at the front do not grow
enthusiastic. Although he is unsung
when living and not greatly honored,
he is not unwept when, at 30 or be
yond, he lies down, sighB peacefully
rather than regretfully, and gives up
his Spartan spirit.
If there is a hereafter for animals
the mule’s paradise is a series of Ely-
sisn fields with fences that only a good
jumper can clear, with colts to chase,
with something alive (preferably two-
legged) to kick, and with plenty of
rough, plain victuals and -a few goats
to play with in sportive moods, and
negro drivers not brutal,' yet not too
indulgent, for human companionship.
To such a paradise let us hope
"Uncle Jack”Hinton’s38-year-old mule
has gone.
“Conductor, can you tell me how that
brakeman lost his finger?" asked the
inquisitive woman. “He seems to be a
very nice man. It is a pity he should
be crippled."
“That's just it, mum. He is a good
fellow. He is so obliging that he wore
his finger oft pointing oat the scenery
along the line."
Crippling the Mail Service.
Dalton Citizen.
The Citizen hBB noted with a great
deal of concern the tendency of the
Postoffice Department to carted the
operation of the rural free delivery
system. Such a policy can but harm
the administration, and bespeakB a
short-sighted policy on the part of
Postmaster-General Burleson.
Of all the legislation that has fotind
its way to the statute bookB of the
Federal Government very little of it
has been of that kind which touches
the American masses. The Postoffice
Department is the one department of
Government that serves directly the
people of all classes, and touches them
at all points; especially is this true
Bince the inauguration of the rural free
delivery system and the parcel post.
Compared with the service rendered,
the coBt of operation is small, and when
misguided officials in Washington at
tempt to cut expenses they cripple the
service, because their action is general
ly taken without any real knowledge
of conditions.
In this section we have recently wit
nessed the effect of some Washington
bureaucracy versus practical applica
tion. Certain rural routes were dis
continued, and of course the service
has been impaired. Mail carriers have
had their routes changed, and in some
instances we understand they have
been instructed to travel roads long
since abandoned. In fact, we heard
that one route was designated through
a cotton field, and that before the ini
tial trip could be made the cotton had
to be picked out of the proposed road.
This may be an exaggeration, but it
serves to illustrate a certain kind of
economy” practiced by officials who
know little about what they are trying
to do.
Congressman Gordon Lee has spent
considerable time going over the situa
tion in this immediate section, aB well
as other sections of his district, and he
ia doing his best to have restored those
routes arbitrarily discontinued by the
Washington bureaucrats.
Bad Colds Quickly Broken Up.
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N.
Y. writes: “I first used Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy about eight years ago.
At that time I had a hard cold and
coughed moBt of the time. It proved
to be just what I needed. It broke up
the cold in a few days, and the cough
entirely disappeared. I have told many
of my friends of the good I received
through using this medicine, and all
who have used it speak of it in the
highest terms.” Obtainable every
where.
The Real Tightwad of New Eng
land.
Popular Magazine,
Uncle Cy was 96 years old when he
died. He made a lot of money, and
had devoted his entire life to a spectac
ular and desperate syBtem of never
letting go a nickel. His reputation as
a tightwad and a skinflint was so gor
geous and brilliant that its effulgence
lit up all New England and cast a
powerful glow as far South as Tennes
see and as far West as Minnesota.
When it came to stinginess, he was the
original gold-medal old guy.
At last he died, and the family scat
tered around a lot of money to pay for
his funeral and to lay him out in state.
On such occasions in New England it is
customary for everybody to say some
thing nice about the dear departed.
This time, however, the neighbors
merely looked on in Bilence.
At last an old man in whose veins
the milk of human kindness rippled,
took his Btand beside the casket, and
lifted up his voice in a eulogy to Uncle
Cy.
"Cy’s gone now,” he said, “and I’ll
say this for him: He was always good
at keeping his barn door shut.’’
Practically any outdoor game that a
child plays in the streets of New York
City is a violation of law.
More than 4,000,000.will be entitled
to vote for President of the United
States this year.

The man was trying to sell his dog,
relates the American Boy.
"You see,” he Bald, "I bought the
dog and trained him myself. 1 got him
inside the gate, and thought I was safe
from burglars. Then my wife wanted
me to train him to carry bundles and I
did. If Iputapaikageinhiamouth, the
dog would keep it there until someone
took it away. Well, one night I woke
up and heard someone in the front,

They were there—the dog and the burg

"Didn’t he bark?” interrupted the
man.
"Never a bark; he waB too busy."
”B>iBy? What doing?”
"Carrying a lantern for the burg
lar.”

There are approximately 70,000,000
pores or openings in the skin of a hu
man body. These connect with the
blood channels by means of little
cannls. These canals are sometimes
filled with poisons, and thus the skin
scales and blisters, becomes red and
raw and the skin of man is like so
much tissue fire. Salves and lo
tions, plasters, etc., do not reach
the Bource of the trouble. To make
the blood pure is the only sensi
ble and scientific method of relief. To
make the bipod pure you must assist
nature in tho way she wants to be
helped. S. S. S. is the greatest blood
purifier because It U & natural one.
There is not a mineral of any sort in it.
It is purely vegetable in every essence.
The blood welcomes S. S. S., and It
quickly reaches the seat of the trou
ble. So great is the fame of this blood
remedy that many substitutes trail
along in various sections of the coun
try. They all, Boonar or later, die a nat
ural death. S. 8. S. builds up weak
and acldy blood, gives prompt relief
to almost every case of eciema, winter
tetter Itnd other troublesome skin
maladies. You owe yourself the duty
of trying a botle of S. 8. S. Take no
substitute. Write for our free book
