SWEPT by DEMOCRATS.
Alabama Seems TO Have Given Jones .
Tremendous Majority.


Tremendous Majority.
MOBILE, Ala, Aug. $50 far as known
now the election has been very quiet,
though great interest was manifested. In
many places the colored voters voted and
worked like beavers for Jones and the
straight Democratic ticket, and aided
materially In pulling up large majorities
for the Democratic party.
Tae Register has received bulletins
from 28 of the GO counties in the state,
which show handsome majorities for
Jones, except In Hale county. The indi-
cations are that Jones has carried Mont
gomery (his honey county by 5000,
Bullock by 1000 and Talladega by $50. In
Barbour county Jones received four out
OF every five votes poled.
The evidences thus far are that tho
straightout Democracy has carried the
day, though there is no doubt that Kolb
has carried few OF the remote counties.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 2.-The Ad-
vertiser has received exact returns from
various parts OF the state and scores OF
kilograms as to the general turn OF tho
vote, showing that the straight Demo-
cratic ticket headed by Thomas G.. Jones,
has been overwhelmingly elected. Near
ly every telegram states that the bulk OF
the negroes voted for Jones. So far there
Is no report Of disorder OF any kind.
The election was to All every state and
county Office, something which occurs
only once in IL years. This, then, is the
! first election since reconstruction, at
which the negroes have held the balance
OF power and determined the result by
tholr votes.

need for every department. OF art anC
science. The board is of opinion thai
such an appropriation as was asked fol
in the estimate furnished to the auditor
just prior to the last tax levy, woult
have met with the hearty concurrence
of the general public and of the lead
4 ing taxpayers of this city, and il
takes leave to suggest that there
is no institution in the city or county
that will afford better return for the
money invested than the public library
This fact has often been urged and re-
peated, but in order that it should be
properly appreciated and bear fruit al
the time of the next appropriation, this
board deems it but right to impress upon
your honorable body that study of this
library question will well repay the time
spent upon it.
GENEROUS AID NEEDED.
The feeling has been growing fast
among our leading citizens that the
library should be more generously aided.
The demands upon its resources have
increased in an enormous percentage
every month, and the time is rapidly
coming when not only larger appropri-
alton must be made for its maintenance,
but improved accommodations must be
provided for it's use.
| SEPARATE BUILDING.
To that end this board would respect
fully call the attention of the council to
the necessity OF providing some separate
public building for the use of the
library, and would suggest that the
vacant lot on the north side of tie city
hall might be utilized for the purpose of
erecting such building.
1t is not to be supposed that the pres
ent accommodations can be made per
manent. The seating capacity OF the
rooms now in use is inadequate, and the
counter space is, particularly on busy
days, quite insufficient. While the
present state Of things may be suffered
for time, this board deems it none too
soon to earnestly call the attention of
your honorable body to the necessity of
providing in time for the change which
will surely have to be made in the near
future. In this connection the board is
aware that the council has not at it's
command the resources necessary to pro-
vide for so large an outlay as would be
required for the erection of a building
and equipping it in satisfactory man
ner, but tie council may do a great
work in assisting to call the attention
of our liberal, enlightened and wealthy
citizens to this crying public necessity.
No institution in the nature OF public
library has been successfully built up
by taxation alone, and it therefore be-
hooyes those who are aware of the needs
of the library to appeal to such of our
citizens as may be in position to come

other leading cities of our country.

One of the most important events of
the library year occurred July 1st, when
the library was made entirely free. Al
though the dues had been but 30 cents
per quarter, the increased registration
at once demonstrated that even so small
fee had hindered general use of the
library on the part of the public. The
reference department was opened on
June 10th, and contains 1906 volumes.
