HARTFORD, KY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1909

only did all opposition to the plan of
raising q library fund cease, but gem
erai approval was expressed as soon
as the plan was fully understood by
the patrons, therefore again express
to patrons and friends our apprecia-
ton of your kind words, your assist
ance and your faith in us and our
methods. l can only say we have la
bored necessarily to build up your
school and advance the interests of
your children--both of which are dear
to your hearts.
1t is the custom in the Western
and Northern States, so far as
my knowledge goes, to charge a small
fec at commencement exercises each
year, and as a result a splendid work.
ing library has been built up in con-
nection with the public school of each
and every hamlet. When say work.
ing library / do not mean a miscel-
laneous collection OF books which have
no direct and vital connection with
the regular school work.
Perhaps it should be remarked that
this plan of raising a library fund
was submitted to the school board
year ago and was approved by them.
1t has been carried out according to
M understanding at that time. If,
however, a time-honored and sacred
custom has been broken, and the vio-
lator OF that custom is deserving of
the epithets-iconoclast and vandal-
then | will accept the criticism. But,
my friends, know you too well to ex
pect from lou other than words OF ap
probation. In truth, / would rather
have given $40 to the library fund
than to have assumed the obligation
of paying all expenses of the enter
tainments and to have worked as hard
as we have worked for the past ten
weeks.
There are just three ways of get
ting a library-0) by direct taxation,
(2) by donations, 80 by entertain
ments. This district is already taxed
to the limit The donations which
have been RECEIVED during the past
five years would not stagger any one.
| can see no difference between hav-
ing pay entertainments in the middle
OF the school year, which has been
done, and having like entertainments
at the close; except there is a much
greater loss to the school work to
have such entertainments in the mid
die of the year.
We tried the plan of having the chill
dren buy their own supplementary
books, but it was failure. Many
were not able to provide themselves
with such books.
Everything needed in connection
with the entertainments was paid for,
therefore no complimentary tickets
were given to any one.
We express our sincere thanks to
all musicians and others who contrib
uted so much toward making the en-
tertainments a success. Our thanks
are also due TO patrons who costumed
their children for the occasion, and TO
Col. Barnett and Nj. Wilbur Tinsley
for their much appreciated assistance
in handling the crowd and the sale of
tickets at the door. l.. N. GRAY.

Special Notice to Herald Correspondents

Much of the news Of our cores
pondents is made up of personal items,
and we wish to give them word of
aivice. In giving accounts of visi-
tors, ALWAYS state where they are
from or where they went. and the res
idence Of the people they are visiting.
This is important. People who spend
the day with others in the same
neiehborhood. is hardly considered

from a distance constitute the beit
items. Always have your letters in
our hands on MONDAYS. tt

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. ~
Never IN the history Of Philadelphia has
there been such a show Of automobiles
as when the tourists in the Frank A.
Munsey Reliability Run from Washing
ton to Boston and return arrived.
The visit of the contestants marks an
epoch IN local automobile circles.
Father Penn smiled graCiously upon
the visitors and gazed lin wonderful
upon the procession Of speeding motor
cars as they chugged their way TO the
Hotel Walton and checked in for a
nights rest in the journey noTthward
Elaborate preparations were made IN
advance by The Evening Times for TAX
ing care of the army Of invaders. In
this they were warmly seconded and
splendidly aided by the city officials
and motor enthusiasts Of the city.
Under the auspices of The Evening
Times a monster escort party WAS
formed. This consisted of procession
OF automobiles carrying city officials.
members Of the local automobile orEani-
cations. and editors Of The Evening
Times. At o'clock the cavalcade
formed at the north plaza Of the city
hall
placed at the disposal Of the Evening
Times by the White Automobile Com
pany to carry the city officials. One
was driven by Manager Church, Of the
White Company, and they attracted
much attention.
Mayor Reyburn was unable TO go with
the party because of official business
which detained him at the city hall.
He sent as representative James B.
Sheehan, assistant director of the de-
partment of public works. One OF the
city cars carried the city flag and the
other the national emblem.
Following these came a line Of cars
carving members Of the Quaker City
Motor Club, each with a full quota
Of passengers enthused over the con-
test.
Just as the escort party started Cor
the journey across Fairmont Park in
