PUBLIC READING ROOM.
The Students Club Decides I
Establish One.

The Students Club of Columbia
recognizing the need of public read
ing room for the city, has decided to
establish one in the Huntington office
on Garden street.
The room is to be open to ladies dur
ing the day. In the evening it will
be at the service of the boys and men,
who will be expected to pay fee Of
twenty-five cents month for the
privileges of the room.
The design is to furnish a pleasant.
comfortable room, where those who
wish to read may drop in and find
good books, magazines and news
papers to occupy the time they may
have to spend there.
At meeting of the Students Club
yesterday the nucleus of the library
was formed by contributions from the
Club. Although only ten members
were present more than fifty good
books were given and number of
valuable reference books were loaned.
Annual subscriptions to several maya
zines were also donated. In addition
to this the Club proposes to organize u
library in the near future.
As soon as the reading room is opened
it is the intention of the Club to hold
a reception to which all those in
terested in the enterprise will be cor
daily invited to come and contribute
books.
The Students Club hopes to have
the cooperation of the people of CO.

thoughtful persons will see that it is
worthy of their patronage. And as

Lynchers on Trial.

Smithville, March 10. - What
promises to be the longest drawn out
trial in the history of De Kalb
County was called iu the Circuit
Court this morning. Aaron Hughes.
one of the thirteen men accused of
lynching Chas. Davis last August, was
arraigned before Judge M. D. Small
man on the charge of murder. There
are under arrest nine Of the thirteen
men charged with the crime.
The result of the work of the court
today was to select three members of
the jury.
This is one of the most remarkable
criminal cases in the history of the
State, and has attracted the most
widespread interest throughout this
section.
The prisoner is the grandfather of
Kate Hughes the girl who, it is alleged,
was assaulted by Davis. Hughes Is
65 years old, and is Confederate
veteran, but he appears robust and
strong for his age and there is no
visible effect from the confinement he
has undergone.
