LIBRARY WORKERS
THEY MOVED OVER TO JACKSON
 WILLIE.
Address Was Delivered bx pr. Osvem in Anmfston~--Krof Daueette Spoke in Jaeksonville
 Monday.

Anniston. Dec. s.-(speeial. )-Ths members of the Alabama Library As- sociation. which convened for a three days session at the Alabama Hotel, left carly this morning for Jackson vile. where they held the second ses- sion at the Normal College today. They were met at the depot by a commit tee and escorted to the Allegheny Ho- tel.
 The delegates were welcomed to the former county seat by Miss Susan Lancaster, school librarian. Presi- dent Daugette spoke on "Jacksonviile Library Ideals. Miss Laura Martin Elmore of Montgomery spoke of "Ciub Work on the LibrarH."
 The convention of the association last evening at the Alabama Hotel was we'll attended and very much enjoyed. Ross Biackmon made an eloquent ad- dress of welcome, to which Mr. Ber- low. librarian of Howard College, re- sponded in a few well chosen words.
 pr. Thorias M < Owen, president of the assoclations made the principal ad- dress of the evening. He traced the history of library development from the earliest times, told of its educatory moral and economic value. and point cd out the progress made in this State. He said:
 Tt Is of supreme satisfaction that I have been given the opportunity of sharing in a small degree in some of the new and uplifting forces of our time. Four years ago the Alabama u. brary Association came into being to organize into compact body all the workers who felt that through the public library and through the increased ehlciency of school libraries. there might come 6 new, message and new outlook for the people of this State. In the evolution of sentiment the State has risen to it's duty and In meas ure Is contributing to the advance of interest and library development. Within our bounds we now have nine free public libraries supported by pub lio appropriations, six libraries sup ported by the Federal Government tsO institutional librATiesa thirty-two sub- scrlption libraries; twenty-one iibra- ry buildings and forty-two librarians and library workers, engaged directly or indirectly in this service. The de- velopment, as evidenced by these hg- ures. has not come by chance. but has grown out of a growth Of our people. A growth which is destined within the next ten years to bring about the es- tablishment in all communities of over 2,000 people of free public library, we'll housed. weil equipped and well administered. With the coming of the library will come trained and efficient service. for if training in any branch in human activity Is serviceable. sure Iy 1t is in the guiding and direction of that subtle and far reaching thing known as the library"

When the car is full of corn, It IS RtiDDed to market and sold, and the protocols arc sent to the Alabama Bap- tists' Urphans' Home as a Christmas present for the Home.
 Jackson County Is noted TOT us corn. Tn fact, it Is the greatest corn producing county in Alabama. It is no trouble each year to get car load Of corn donated for the Orphans Home in this way and the amount re- alized from the sale of the corn always amounts to a neat sum of money.

 At a meeting of the New Decatur City Council, held last night, an ordi- nance was introduced and placed on It's first reading. making 1t unlawful to store alcoholic drinks in public places. The ordinance gives the police officers the right to search places Of business where they may suspect that alcoh ollie drinks are stored. On con- viction, the ordinance carries with 1t street sentence besides a money nne.
 whether or not this ordinance will finaGy pass and become law Is ques- tIon, as 1t is said there is some oppo- sitfon to the ordinance within the Board of Aldermen There are some who declare that if the ordinance is passed 1t can never be enforced from the fact as, they claim. such a law would be unconstitutional. and would, therefore, not stand the test of the courts. On the other hand, others say the law would be constitutional and could be enforced The matter is the subject of considerable discussion in New Decatur.

Youhg spiIker Alive.

7 The telegram which Chief of Police George H. Bodeker sent Tuesday to Victoria, British Columbia, asking about the son of Mrs Spilker of Marion has been answered by Chief of Police ]. M Langley of Victoria. who says that the boy is alive and well and pursuing his employment as usual He has written to his mother assuring her of hIs continued health. M
 The body at the undertaking estab- lishment of Shaw and Son remains to be identified. Mrs. Spllker called there Tuesday and almost identified the body as that of her son. There were many points of startling resemblance and but for a difference in the nose, as she remembered it. Mrs. Spiiker would have claimed the body and had 1t inferred. Doubt on this one point induced her to make telegraphic inquiry with the result that she now finds herself hap pily mistaken.
