Two wears since Chinese gentleman
named Sam Sing, d'ifted to this city and en-
gagged in the laundry business in the 'old
Castle" Till recently he had enjoyed
monopoly of the Chinese laundry business IN
Augusta, and by working early and late had
sent back to China money enough to make
him a poten,ate of no little Importance.
Some four weeks since, however, his fellow
countryman, Hop Lung Of Boston, struck
town, and started an opposition establishment
near by. Since his arrival prices have cut down
to the lowest figures, and unless the two
Celestials form a trust, Augusta will soor
have its garments purified at little or no ex

Lithgow Library.

The annual meeting of the trustees of the
Lithgow Library and Reading Room was
held on Tuesday and the following officers
elected President. Hon. J. W. Bradbury !:
secretary, Lester c. Cornish, Esq; treasur-
err, VIM. X. Smith, Esq; auditor, Hon. },
Manchester Haynes. Messrs. Bradbury,
Haynes and Cornish were appointed COM
mit.ee on the purchase of books, and Miss
Julia H. Clapp was reelected librarian.
From the annual report of the librarian the
following interesting facts are obtained as to
the condition of the library during the past
year
Number of books purchased dur
ing the year, i2f
Number of books donated, .
Number of books belonging to the
library. Dec. 81, SO, 300
Number of Subscribers Dec. 81. SO, 1913
Increase during the year, ~
Receipts for subscriptions, Zines
aud sale OF ca :alogues, slll'o
Number of books taken from the
library during the wear, 1927
Increase over 1887, 1881
The library was never in so flourishng
a condition as at the present time, and its
increasing prosperity is a source of gratifica-
ton and prosperity to our citizens The pur-
chase of the Cushnoc property, at the corner
of State and Winthrop streets, has secured
the finest lot in the city for the library build
ing, which it is hoped will be built at no dis
tant day The building fund, as appears
from the treasurers report, now amounts to
sll,54S 10. but larger amount is needed IN
order to erect such building as will do
credit to the city, and be fitting monument
