inspecting farming lands i'll Sumte,
with the view to removing here, as

desirable $4,000 farm off the old De-
Soto plantation, securing 300 acres
very choice land, Other South Caro-

LIBRARY MUST CLOSE
IT'S DOORS NOW
Unless City Lives Up to Its
Agreement.
Committee VIII Call on
Mayor and Alder
men Tonight.

A committee from the Board of Di-
Iectors of the Public Library. sun.
ported by the Finance Committee OF
the Americus Board of Trade. the lat
ter acting under resolution passed at
the meeting of that business body al
its September meeting, will appear be-
fore the City Council at it's meeting to-
night to present the needs and claims
Of the Carnegie Library.
The library, as is probably gener-
ally well known, is financially in ex-
tremis. 1t has continued on with its
work, largely on borrowed money,
through the courtesy of friends of the
Institution to whom it is now consid-
erably indebted But of course, it
cannot continue on indefinitely under
such conditions.
1t appears to be a case of where the
city must come to it's assistance. to-
gether with the citizens, or permit the
doors of the library to be closed and
an ineffaceable disgrace placed upon
the community.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie gave the S20,-
900 with which the handsome building
was erected, trusting in contract
drawn up and signed by the City
Council of Americus, in which the city
solemnly pledged itself to give $4,000
a tn 4
was expended yearly, in the mainte-
nance of the library. The library has
been open since June /, five months.
and the city has given it $1O0. The
Board of Trade subscribed 500, maxi
ing $500 in all available for period
of five months.
OF course it is folly to attempt to
continue the library under such
state of finances. The city must either
make good or the doors of the fine
building must be closed and the an
nouncement made to the world that
the city has repudiated its agreement
with Mr.. Carnegie, that the building
which reflects his generosity is stand
ing unused. The people of Americus
will hardly tolerate such a condition
as that
1t has been felt by the friends of
the institution that if the city would
appropriate $1,000 a year, $8333 a
month, that the citizens would come
to the assistance and provide the
other $1,000. The ladies auxiliary
will raise 5000, at least, so that the
men of the community would be call
ed on only for $500 a year, or even
less.
But there must be basis to build
plans on, and that basis is what the
city government will do tonight. 1t
is distinctly up to the Mayor and AL
dermen 20 make good, to see that some
definite sum is laid aside for the
library every month, and that those
charged with the management of its
affairs are enabled to carry on it's i'm.
portant work.
