BOYS READING CLUB
 DOING MUCH GOOD
JUDGE FEAGlN VERY MUCH PLATED OVER SUCCESS OF IN. STITUTlON-POINT WITH PRIDE TO ONE OF THE BOYS.
REV. ouINcEy EWING,

Judge Feagin is very much elated over interesting evidence of the good which the Boys Reading club is accomplishing. He points to young John T. Morgan senator, who has shown a nobility of character and devotion to his mother which is rarely equalled.
 The boy sells papers on the streets and is very successful His mother is a widow and there are two younger children to be cared for. During the past six or seven months the boy had paid $5 month rent for the house his mother occupied. at the same time giving something for the sup port of the other children and attending school himself. Several days ago the mother was taken i'll and had to be car ried to the Hillman hospital to have an operatio performed The Salvation Army took interest in the case.i The two young CT children are in the Mercy Home, while the boy is living with the Salvation Army corps.
 Yesterday young Morgan went to Judge Feagin and told him that he wanted money enough to get books to attend the public school Judge Feagin told him of the night school at the Reading club, but the boy preferred going to the other school. Judge Feagin gave him money enough to get the books and the boy had 5 cents over. Instead of spending that he carried it to the hospital and gave 1t to his sick mother.
 Judge Feagin intends getting the boy to write letter to Senator Morgan some time in the near future. The judge is very much impressed with the manllness of the boy and Is watching his career with much interest. predicting an honorable fu- ture for him.

Increasing Business Area.

Columbus, Ga, Sept Columbus
cotton receipts for the year were
1928. 900 bales. OF this cotton 0,425
bales were received by the warehouses
and $4,000 by buyers and shippers.
Last year the warehouse receipts
were 1915, SO it will be seen that the
warehouses received nearly 5000 more
bales during the season ending today
than during the previous fiscal year.
This is due to the fact that the city's
cotton territory is being extended.
OF the cotton received by the ware
houses $4,000 bales were consumed by
the local cotton factories. All the
factories here buy their raw material
from the Columbus warehouses, with
the exception of the Bibb Manufactur.
ing company, which uses Egyptian and
Sea Island cotton exclusively.
The warehouses now have a stock
of only six bales, something almost
unprecedented. Usually the iware
houses here receive several hundred
bales of NV cotton August This year
only few bales were received in Au
gust.

In the discussion there was no
difference of opinion as to the use
fulness and desirability of the Ii
brary. The only fears expressed
were that it might not be estab-
lished on a permanent basis, and
unless the money were safeguard
ed it would be lost in a short time
and there would be nothing to show
that we ever had a centennial. 1t
was further suggested that the Ii
brary ought not to be dependent on
selling tickets for some sort Of show
every few days, and on old rubbers
and bottles for its support. There
should be at least two hundred
names secured of persons willing to
subscribe five dollars or more a
year, and this will insure the cur
rent expenses of the library. Other
wise, the sentiment seemed to be,
that the constant appeals now nee
essary to get money for its needs,
would soon tire the people out, and
kill all interest in the project.
The large surplus was surprise
to everybody. 1t shows most ex-
cellent business management, as it
seldom happens that such celebra-
tion does not come out in the hole. u
Every dollar OF expense was care
fully estimated before hand, and all
the subcommittee kept thier ex-
penditures within the limit allowed
them. While the. results are most
gratifying, no one but those on the
inside will ever know and appreci-
ate the amount of labor performed
to bring it about. There are some
members of the committee who are
actually congratulating themselves
that they will not live to serve on
the next centennial committee.

That the people of Millville want

of the Borough Council taken at a

Miller attended the meeting and
made a report which was favorable
to the construction Of the road. He
asked the council to adopt the 1T"
rail as his report was based OH that
style of rail. The council took up
the matter and after thoroughly
considering it voted unanimously
to grant the request and passed the
ordinance in that way. There is
every assurance now that work on
the proposed road will be COM
menced as soon as the company ac-
cepts the ordinance.

A HEINOUS CRIME.
James MCAndreW, of Centralia,
Assaulted, Robbed and Left
to Die Along the Roadside.

James McAndrew Of Centralia,
was found unconscious on the road
leading from Centralia to Arestes
Monday morning of last week. His
skull was crushed from the fore
head to the base of the brain. He
was removed to the Miners Hospi-
tai, at Fountain Springs. He re-
mained in an unconscious state
until Saturday night when his life
departed. An operation had been
performed, but it was unavailing.
The circumstances surrounding
the crime are of the most malig-
nant and atrocious villany. He had
received his pay at the Midvalley
colliery, and was on his way home,
when he was assaulted, robbed and
then left to die along the road. All
his money was gone and his watch
had been torn from his vest.
The remains were removed from
the hospital yesterday to his home
at Centralia. Funeral services were
conducted in St. Ignatius church
and interment was made in the
parish cemetery.
The authorities are thoroughly
aroused and no effort will be spared
in discovering and furnishing the
guilty parties. There will be, it is
expected, some developments in a
day or two which may aid the
authorities in their hunt. There
are already stories ahoat which
connect certain man with the
crime, and he is under police vigil
ance.
Deputy Coroner d. H. Welsh
of Cenpalia, on Monday empanelled
a jury, composed of d. Z. Curran,

The body was viewed, but an ad-
! iournment taken until last evening.
when the jury visited the scene Of
the murder. They then adjourned,
to meet agair on Monday when
testimony will be heard. District
Attorney A. w, Duy will attend
the meeting on Monday.
