Evidently our citizens are not as
much concerned whether free library
shall be established here under the Act
passed by the last Legislature or not.
Our sister town, Smyrna, has been
having breezy discussions, for several
weeks past on the question. 1t seems
that there has been free library es-
tablished here for the past fifteen years
composed of one hundred volumes of
choice reading. 1t is located at the
residence of Squire Casperson, and is
at the disposal of the citizens, but we
learn that such little interest is mani
tested in its existence, that book has
not been taken out for overtwo years.
1t is strange indeed, that the citizens
would allow such complete library tC
be laid aside, without offering an aid
ing hand to save it, if not, nothing bu
eternal oblivion awaits it?

At Massey, the road crosses the road
from Centreville to Townsend. Both
roads are controlled by the Pennsyl.
vania, and trains from Chestertowr
will go through Massey to Townsend
over the road from Centreville. Thii

BELLS WORK WELL DONE
BATANGAS PROVINCE NOW FREE OF
INsURGENT FILIPINOs.
Drastic Measures Proved Successful
RObber Bands in Tayabas and
Cavite Provinces.

MANILA, Feb. 16.-General ]. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the insur-
rection in Batangas province, the troops
under his command having made a clean
sweep of the district. 1t is not believed
that all the insurgent arms have been cap
tured or surrendered, but that a number
of them have been taken by the insurgents
to other provinces or safely hidden
The increase of robber bands in the prov
inces of Tayabas and Cavite show the ef-
fects of the drastic measures adopted in
Batangas and Laguna provinces. General
Bell says the people of these latter prov
til they personally experienced its hard
ships, owing to the closing of the ports
and the concentration of the natives in the
towns General Bell believes that the in
surgent leader Malvar is becoming exceed
ingly unpopular with the Filipinos, and
that when the natives cease TO fear his
vengeance many will be found willing to
betray him. What has been said of Batan-
gas provice applies almost equally to La
guna.
