Australia Rich In Libraries.

Victoria's (Australia) five hundredth
free library was opened lately. One
and all of the older libraries are well
patronized. The gross revenue re-
ceived by them in the aggregate from
halls, members subscriptions, and
grants is about $4,000. There are
about million books in these libra
ries, and it was claimed that some
thing like 100000 visits are paid to
them in the year. While works of f1c-
ton are read to the greatest extent,
general literature and history receive
a good deal of attention.

ing Yet Held.

Columbia Commissioner Watson
is at his Office again, having returned
from Clemson, where he addressed
the farmers OF the state at the
roundup conference" after travelling
by auto across the upper portion OF
the state from Pauline, in Spartan
burg county, in order to keep the en-
gagement, a railroad wreck making
it impossible to reacn the college by
train. He went to deliver an ad-
dress at Prosperity.
At Clemson Mr. Watson, having
just received from Washington the
census figures as to this state and
section, devoted his address to the
agricultural economics of the state.
giving an analytical summary of con-
ditions, drawing lessons from the cold
figures, and endeavored to clearly i'm
press upon the farmers assembled the
potentiality of the producer who
would direct his efforts upon certain
lines which were definitely stated.
The essential fact was brought out
that 1922 per cent OF the population
of the state resides in the rural dis
tries, outside of the towns of $500
inhabitants and upwards, and that
it rested with this bulk of the popu-
lation whether or not South Carolina
was to continue to advance, carrying
prosperity to those engaged in other
industries, as well as to themselves.
Among other things, on the bright
side of the picture drawn, the COM
missioner said:
This is no ordinary, meaningless
gathering, in an ordinary time. 1t is
a gathering marking the elimination
OF one of the most noteworthy cam
paigns in the cause of progress that
has ever been waged in any section
of this ccntincnt-a campaign, the
success of which is recorded in the
millions Of dollars cf added wealth.
A campaign participated in by all
agencies working for the rehabilita-
ton of the foundation industry of the
commonwealth, and enc in which the
laborers have worked in unison and
perfect harmony for the common
veal. with intelligence ever holding
sway. 1t is with the deepest gratifi-
cation that find myself permitted to
live until this year in the twentieth
century and see reality that which

plished if the effort were made upon

This measure imposes a fiat ad valor-

other two tariff measures will be side

and the Senate Democrats and pro-

formulation OF plans for the speedy ad'

that final adjournment will not come
