THE TABARD INN LIBRARY.

This last ten years may easily be termed the
Library Decade, libraries have been estab-
.lished in the world within that period than were
established in all the centuries taken together Al
most every hamlet has its library, public, private
circulating Greenville has Jagged behind in this
laudable enterprise essential to the culture of
community.
The only pretense of library in city, OUT
side of homes, is the in the public schools, and
while it is most creditabe effort supply necessary
adjunct to modern school education, its very limited
income can do nothing than to supply juven-
lie literature and reference books daily demanded
in the class room work.
The Coppee Book Club has weathered success
fully the storms of the past five years. This club
has a prescribed course and membership which in
no way reaches the reading public of our city.
Various pans have been discussed or attempted.
during the past few years, for meeting this felt
need, all Of which have to naught, because Of
lack of sufficient funds. In my opinion the Inter
national Tabard Inn Library has solved Our problem
and with little extra effort can be established and
readily maintained.
The Tabard Inn Library has its central homes
in Philadelphia and London, with distributing cen
tiers in thousands of cities and towns throughout
the English-speaking world. When once established
the conditions of membership consists in buying an
exchangeable book in Tabard Inn cover, which
can be exchanged as often as you please by the
payment of FIVE cents for each exchange. The MEM
bership is good anywhere the Tabard Inn exists.
In order to get the library in Greenvlle, it is
necessary to rent Tabard Inn Book case, provide
home for it, and pay carriage books from the
Central library. If there enough subscribers
there will be extra charge to above mentioned
membership. If, however, there be fewer than one
hundred and fifty small additional fee is necessary
TO cover these expenses.
1t is proposed to put the Tsbard Inn Library
in our city, the case to contain one hundred and
twenty FIVE volumes fifty Of which are exchaugeable
for fifty books selected, by committee
Of the local club from catalogue Of FIVE thousand
titles. covering the entire range Of literature, pic

THE WAY TO GET IT.

What about the Delta Experiment Station?
You will admit that your county is the place to To-
it, but without the giving of 200 acres OF its
land the committee in charge of placing will have
to seek other places Now planters, if you are in
earnest as to wanting this station located in the
county and rs of you will raise $500, which Will
buy the land you get the station This plan
will only require rs planters and business men to
contribute $Ioo each and there is not planter in
the Delta but who will get this much benefit from
the station the first year The Times will gladly
publish the names of all who will contribute one
hundred dollars, and also the amount contributed
to the Experimental Station Fund.
For the last three years have heard talk OF
city and county poor house. but as yet we have
seen nothing done. Whose failure is it, to do their
part in this matter, the city the county, we can
not say, but we do know that the farm should be
bought and prisoners sent there. We have heard
the mayor say the city ready at any time to
put up their part towards buying the farm. If this
be true the county should do theirs, today they
have imbecies confined in the jail that should be
kept in some other place and the future pauper ex-
pense Of the county to say nothing of the convics,
would be cut off

A LESSON IN PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The first semi-anua meeting OF the Board of Di-
xectors of the FIRST National Bank of Greenwood
since the reorganization last May was held at the
bank building Monday night. Besides declaring a
semi-annual dividend of S per cent. portion o.
the profits placed to the credit Of the surplus
fund and the balance to that of undivided profits.
The showing made for the first six months of the
banks existence is Highly gratifying and indeed a
credit to the officers Of this splendid institution.
Another important matter acted upon at the
meeting and which reflects a commendable
spirit of the Board of Directors the donation of
$4,000 toward the $4,000 bonus which is being
raised for the Southern road extension.-Greenwood
Enterprise
The above shows why this hustling little city
the Southern road is prospecting No city can build
mp and prosper without public spirited citizens.
Where is there bank any other institution in our
city that would give $4,000 toward getting railroad
TO enter here? Right have proposition
before for railroad and the small sum OF
5000. $500 less than the Greenwood bank gave
alone for like enterprise, canot be raised out of
the entire city.
We hate to confess it, but nevertheless it is true.
What is the mater2 Don't new trade and new en-
terprises increase the earnings of every bank and
business in the city? Don't every citizen here want
to see their home city grow and prosper? But the
Business League get this money, you say. No,
ii has tried and so far has failed Gentlemen it is
time you were awakening to your responsibilities.
Sleep on and you win awaken, whine too late, to
gaze upon some near by city that has outgrown you
and drawn away from you enterprises that would
have located in your city if the proper inducements
had beenofferef.
Continue this policy and in short time you will
find the For Rent" or "For Sale" sign tackled on
many houses and property around you Continue to
turn your deaf ear to the Leagues appeals for mon
CIV and your tax burden will grow heavier, for no
new enterprises will come to help you bear them,
Turn your back committees and railroads
will build to- other cities. 1t is no overdrawn pic
tuTe. 1t is the stern facts that face the man who
wants to see his city grow Citizen, banker, BUSH
ness man. factor think this question serious
II ahd1if we are right come forward and contribute
to tie fund that will bring railroads and build fac
tories in your city.

FASCINATION OF MARSHAL McLA1N


fhe resignation Of Marshal McClaih as the
headof the police department Of the city brings be-
foreIthc CITY council the selection of successor
il which no mistake must be made.
in our opinion the selection of a marshal in
whose hands the life and property of city are to
be entrusted is one of the most serious of local
problems and good judgment and honest convic-
tons Should alone guide a member in his vote
The man, his character, his habits and life, who
applies for the position should be fully investigated
There, is no need for immediate action, but this
does not mean delay of weeks, or perhaps months.
Again, the council should consider the man and
not the salary, for sometimes cheaper man is
dear at any old price Without undertaking to de-
tate to the honorable mayor and council if the pres
ent salary has to be increased half, we believe it
would be wise policy secure the for the
place.
Marshal Mccain in retiring has done his full
duty, and has made the city good officer, and he
would have done more, but he restrained by
higher authority and while have heard some
criticism against him as officer still we are fully
aware of the fact that no could fill the place
without some criticism. The matter of selection
Of new marshal will be decided by the council at
its next meeting, and trust that in the selection
khey may win the appreciation of the people of the
entire city. SCI

ii will give the people of the north, while the snow

see the productions of our southern land; to meet
our warm hearted citizenship; to the flowers in
bloom everywhere; to hear never before in win
