SOME FAMOUS LIBRARIES
1By Mr.. ]. a. Thompaon. chIeIasha. ]. 'T.l


ONE on the oldest libraries of which we have
any remains, was that at Nippur in Babylona. Most
of it was destroyed eighteen hundred years before
Christ but some Of its clay tablets still in exs-
tence
In the seventh century B. G. King Assurbanipal
Of Assyria had copies made from the tablets in the
libraries Of Babylon, and established great library
in his splendid palace at Nneveh. This collection
contains works on history science. religion gram
mars and dictionaries in the original Languages of
Babylonia.
The ancient Greeks owned few private Libraries
Of moderate size that Of Aristotle contained only
few hundred rolls
The history Of the great classical Libraries begins
with the founding of the Alexandrian Library Lucul-
lus built the first public librrry in Rome Another
library, divided into Greek and Latin sections was
established by Augustus
Nearly 1900 MSS. have been found in library
room at Herculaneum, some of which have been un-
rolled and deciphered
About A. D. s36, Constantine the Great, founded

SMUGGLING ON LARGE SCALE
santo Domingo Losing Over $3.50, 900
Year in Customs.

H F. Worley, an agent of the insular
bureau who was sent to Santo Domingo to
investigate the revenue conditions on the
border between the Dominican and Haitian
republics has made a partial report to the
War Department. He estimates that the
smuggling that has been going on across
this border has cost the Dominican gov
eminent from $350,O0O to 100000 a year
The method was to land goods at points in
Haiti and send them by coasting vessels
near the Dominican line. They were then
carried over the border by mule trains
Some of the largest mercantile houses in
Monte Cristi had their warehouses far in
land where these goods were smuggled
across the border
Mr.. Morley was sent down there to es-
tabliSh custom houses in the interior be-
tween the two countries and he was warn
ed that If the attempts to carry out his
Instructions he was liable to assassina-
ton. so determined are the smugglers to
continue their traffic But custom houses
have been established and others will be
established until it will be impossible to
continue the smuggling. Much of the Dor
der consists of an impossible mountain
range with an occasional pass, but there
are other regions where the smuggling is
rendered easy unless official barriers are
erected There is no doubt that, acting
upon the report OF Mr. Worley, the depart
mcnt will send enough men to Santo Do
mingo to protect the revenues of the gov
ernmept. The tariff in Santo Domingo, ac-
I cording to estimates made by Mr.. Morley,
is about T3 per cent advalorem, which is
q great Involvement to smugglers.
Mr.. Worley also made trip into the in
terror of Haiti while he was on the island
and says that reports We're often brought
to him of savage customs in the widest
regions including cannibalistic feasts
where the victims are babies.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, February o.-The end
of next week will witness the close
of the session of the general assem-
bly, and both houses are this week
hard at work. The senate has pass.
ed the ten-circuit bill and sent it
back to the house with amendments.
The measures of most general inter-
est, probably, in the house during the
past several days were the Toole bill
to allow each county to vote for pro-
hibition or dispensary, without the
provision imposing tax upon
county voting out a dispensary, the
measure being practically the same as
the original Brice bill of last year,
and Mr.. Patterson's bill to establish
an industrial school for boys and to
provide for it's government and main
tenance. Both bills were passed by
the house. The Toole local option
bill received its third reading in the
house on Wednesday and has been
sent to the senate.

Arranging the Circuits.

The house has passed bill to pro-
vide for ten solicitors and to make
their circuits conform to the ten
circuit bill which passed the house
and was sent to the senate. The sem
ate having amended the ten-circuit
bill, rearranging the circuits and re-
numbering them, it would appear
that the bill passed by the house pro-
viding for additional solicitors and
making their circuits conform to the
new bill would have to wait until
both houses agree on the ten-circuit
bill.

The Ten-Circuit Bill.

The ten-circuit bill, which was
passed by the house last week and
sent to the senate, provoked great
deal of discussion in the latter body.
The bill was finally passed by the
senate, but was amended in a number
of particulars, several of the propos-
ed new circuits as constituted by the
house being changed, and the num-
bering of the various circuits beng
changed. The section providing that
no special terms of court shall be
held was stricken out by the senate,
as being in conflict with the state
constitution.
The bill as it passed the senate now
goes back to the house with the
amendments. The house bill was

aid and News. Following is the bill
as it passed the senate and as It goes
back to the house:
