$50 NEW BOOKS
ADDED TO LIBRARY.
Continued Demand for Watson's
Historical Works.

continued demand IOr "htAohs
Historical Works.
Several days ago an order for $50
new books was sent out by the Libra
ry Committee of the Public Library.
The books are expected daily and will
be listed and placed on the shelves
ready for circulation as soon as they
arrive.
The greatest demand in the library
has been for works of fiction and as
a result the Library Committee has
ordered more works of fiction in the
above consignment than in any other
class of literature. Many Of the latest
novels are included in the list and
there are several books which are yet
in their first edition.
Besides the works OF fiction the rec
ognized leaders in the other depart
ments of literature have been included
in the present order and all branches
are covered as thoroughly as possible.
The committee, in selecting the list of
books, endeavored to provide for the
wants of the greater number of read
ers, but did not overlook those who
are DESTROYS of securing text books of
a more technical and solid nature.
Judging from the constant calls for
lue DOCKS, II is DfODdDle IidI TIE iHOSl
popular volumes now on the market
are Watsons Napoleon" France"
and Life and Times of Thomas Jeffer-
SON." The librarian reports that there
are daily calls for the books, especial
ly the first two, and that neither vol
ume remains in the library for any
great length of time.
Supt. Otis Ashmore reports that the
same books are great favorites of the
readers at the teachers library in
Chatham Academy. The bookstores
unanimously report a big demand for
the books, especially for the last
named, which is the latest to be placed
on the market. The clear wording and
the manner of telling the facts has
done away with the usual dryness con-
nected with biography and history, and
the author has succeeded in making
this class of literature almost as popu-
lar as the light fictions.
The chairman of the Public Library
Committee reports that there is
steady increase in the number of read
ers at the library. The periodicals are
in constant demand. All the periodi-
Gals which were on file last year have
been again subscribed for. In addition
there have been many new ones add
ed and the reading list in this line is
very broad. The Savannah Library is
now one of the best in the South and
suited to readers in all lines of liter
ature.

WILL ASK COUNTIES
TO SUBSCRIBE.
New Plan For Getting Money For
Georgia Building.


Every county in the First Congress
sional district will be asked by Mayor
Herman Myers and Col. ]. II. Estill,
appointed for this district by Gov. Ter
rell on the State Committee, to sub
scribe to fund to be used in erecting
a Georgia building at the st. Louis
Exposition.
Mayor Myers and Col. Estill met at
the City Exchange yesterday. and it
was decided to ask each of the ten
counties in the district to make a sub
scription. The Mayor stated that the
counties can legally make such appro-
priations for the reason that the money
will be used in advertising their re-
sources.
The Mayor and Col Estil will join
in letter to the city, town and coun-
ty authorities of every county in the
district, urging them to make an APP
preparation, and in which the situation
will be fully and strongly presented 1t
will be urged that the state of Geor-
gia should not be without building
at st. Louis. While the exhibits will
have to go in the regular exhibit build
ings, the state building would be head
quarters for Georgians who visit the
fair.
Mayor Myers stated that the city,
through Council, will probably make
an appropriation for the building, and
he believed the Chatham County Com
miSsioners will also vote an appropria-
ton. The Mayor says it is important
that Georgia have a building at St.
Louis, and the various counties should
see to it that the necessary money is
forthcoming. He feels that the Empire
State of the South should have a struc-
ture that her citizens can point to with
pride while they are in st. Louis

EXPRESS co. RUSH
NOT YET BEGUN.

The rush of Christmas business with
the Southern Express Company has
not yet made itself felt, in fact, the
present time may be considered the
lull before the storm, according to Mr..

season is due. 1t is explained, to the
fact that the country folk are send
ing but few orders for shipment prefer
ing to wait until they come to the city
to make their Christmas purchases and
then buy the goods needed in person.
The rush of business is expected a lit
tie later, however, and about Dec Is

FARMERS PLAYING
COTTON FUTURES.
Can't Wait Market Reports, But
Question Travellers

Can't Wait Market Reports, But
Question Travellers.
Something of the excitement that the
recent rise in cotton has caused gen.
orally throughout the country dis
tricts as well as in the cities may be
gathered from a statement made by a
Savannah gentleman yesterday, who
has just returned from up the state.
He says that cotton is the one subject
of talk and so anxious are the rural
residents to know the condition of the
markets at the big centers that the
passengers on all trains from a city
like Savannah are interrogated at the
way stations as to the tone and quota
tions of the market.
1t seems, said the returned traveller.
that many people in the country who
have money at all are playing the
future market and everyone is on the
bull side.

five teams will be formed among the
younger football enthusiasts, and the
Association last evening decided to help
the boys along by Offering gold or sill
yer medals to the members of the win
ming team. Some interest was aroused
when one of the members, who last
year coached the winning junior teams,
remarked that the medals had failed
to materialize for the winning team
a year ago. He said also that the
reason for it was the fact that his
team happened to a be composed of
Chinese boys. There was a. good deal
of discussion over the question of med
ais, but it was finally decided to make
up the amount required, by private
subscription among the members, and
if this failed, then by assessments
against the different teams.
