FREE READING ROOM
The Benefits As Seen BY A Regular
Attendant At The Room
0PPORTUN|TYFOR GREAT work
The Citizens Of Alma Should Take Greater
Interest In This Movement

The reading room at the present
time is mainly what its name implies.
Perhaps we do not realize how inn
portant place this is now filling with
a good many boys and young men. |
believe most every man can look back
10 the time when Nick Carter, Dia-
mond Dick and Jesse James were the
stories that boys read and circulated
among themselves.
Not so in Alma today. Boys are in
terested in the inventions, the simpler
scientific experiments, the clean sport
ing paper and the short story. The
other day a boy of thirteen or four
teen asked if any new Alger books
had been received lately. He had read
all of that author that we had. The
good stories and the interesting arti-
cles are passed on TO the next fellow
and so the magazine sover shows
signs of usage and the book pages
are thumbmarked. Occasionally boy
is so interested in his story that he
will hide the book under old maga-
zines so that he may be sure of Sc
curing it when he comes again If
YOU have any doubt as to the quality
Of the literature that your boy is read
ing call and see for yourself. Inspec-
tion and suggestions are always well
come.
Mr.. Hogg, the pioneer caretaker OF
the reading room left behing a num-
Der of chess players. Even the boys
play the game that many an older per
son has not learned. Chess and
checkers are the only games played.
OF the fifty who came in last Sun
day not more than half dozen were
of age. More than thirty of the re-
mainder were between the ages OF
fourteen and twenty-one.
Judge Lindsey believes that that is
the time when the most good can be
done for men. Men that become Grim
inals usually develop between those
ages. Here then is our opportunity
We have cheerful room and things
that appeal. Shall we take these and
60 a step farther and develope some
thing that will promote fellowship anc
responsibility? One of the fellows eX-
pressed desire that a Y. NJ c. A. be
organized. If such a sentiment is
strong enough why not make it Z
reality?
Too much credit cannot be giver
10 those who have felt the need OF
this work and who have so generously
helped. No matter what conditions
may exist the reading room has {
place in the city The question now
is What shall be its policy" What
ever that may be, it is evident that i
must be on the move and keep up with
the other interests OF Alma.

Prisoners Decapitated.

Lisbon, August 26.-Special dis
patches received here from Melilla
Morocco, say the fighting is general
on the Moroccan coast The new
Spanish artillery has wrought terrible
havoc among the Moors, who have
lost 1000 men in the last three DAYS.
The Spanish casualties amount to $50.
A Spanish column has DESTROYED three
villages near Restinga.
A Moorish deserter, who has come
into the Spanish lines, declares that
Spanish prisoners, after being horri-
bly, tortured and mutilated are decap-
itated, and their bodies flung into a
hole on Mount Guruga. This hole is
a mass of decomposing corposes.
Estimates place the number of Span
ish prisoners at 1000.
The water being doled out to the
Spanish troops is insufficient.
The officers buy mineral waters, but
this the men cannot afford to do, and
driven by their overwhelming thirst.
they have drunk from stagnant pools.
Many cases of poisoning have result
ed. Already fifty men have died from
this cause, and ITO have been sent to
hospitals.

BLIND TIGER GRAFT.
The Charleston Dealers Comnla;p
That They Are Not Getting Pro-
lection.

Charleston, Aug. 26.-Chief Con-
stable Rateman and his force added
today 81 gallons of whiskey to the
seizures of this week. aggregating
about 500 gallons in four days. About
oo gallons were taken at the foot of
Grove street. where the LIQUOR had
probably not long before been landed
from a boat on the Ashley river. and
the rest of the haul was taken in case
goods from the office of the South
ern Express Company. With the seiz-
ures which the police department has
made, as stated in The State this
morning, the blind tigers nave been hit
a hard blow this week. It was said
by one blind tiger this morning that
it is not so much the loss of the vaIue
OF the liquor, but of the money which
he had been paying for "prote tom
money had been paid but there is no
question of the fact that his losses
were a source of some concern to
him.
