Same Old Tale.

Southern Railway train, due at
4:50 was marked yesterday first TWEEN
~, then forty, then one hour and then
one hour and thirty minutes late.
AT $50 it came as far as the peniten-
tiary, when it was blocked by an Idle
freight which was either too lazy or
too weak to move. Here it remained
for fifty minutes till 1920, when it
pulled into the station with not one of
its Raleigh passengers on board. All
those had trudged through the snow
a quarter mile to the depot Passen-
gers said that between Cary and
Method, five and a half miles. the train
stopped ten times-presumably to get
breath 10 blow its whistle-and be-
tween Method and the penitentiary,
two miles, no less than four times.
This train recently lost two hours
being dragged from Greensboro by
long bodied locomotive with drivers
about as high as the wheels of a boys
velocipede. Yesterdays engine looked

AN INCREASED APPROPRIATION
Olivia Raney Library Directors Are
Faced With Deficit.

The Directors Of the Olivia Raney
Library, met last night and reelected
the old officers, to-wit: Il. H. Bat
tie, President; Rev. NJ. NJ Marshall,
d. D., President; =. 2. Haywood,
Secretary; II. w. Jackson. Treas
urer; Allss Jennie Coffin. Librarian.
The reports of the Librarian and
Treasurer We're received, showing that
during the year there had been circu-
lated $4,000 hooks. an increase of
,, 500 over the preceding year; and
that the expenses of the library had
been SO $50, as against $2,460 of re-
ceipts
In discussing the deficit, it was de-
cided by the Board to ask th city
TO increase it's present appropriations.
Yhe library has been conducted CT
business principles and with the
greatest economy, but to keep it
supplied with the necessary books
and periodicals and to continue it rs
an attractive resort to the people re-
Quires more money than the income
affords under present conditions. Had
it not been for q balance of $1,000
left over last year, the library could
not have been maintained for the
past twelve months.
The hundreds Of Carnegie libraries
scattered throughout the country in
cities of Raleigh's class, cost on an
average of $4,000 and are erected
only upon the stipulation that the
city give from $4,000 to $4,000 for
their support. The Olivia Raney
Library was given to Raleigh by u
private citizen at q cost of $42,OOO.
Surely this city should do as much
towards fulfilling the plans of the
generous donor Of its library as do
the towns Which contract for the
Carnegie hand of Eberality.

was selling for 10 IL TO 2 cents a

Cotton fell blow Scents on the third
