Mrs. N. c. Lansston Establishes Free
Library For Children.

St Augustine Fla.-Among the most
thrifty AfroA American women in ST
Augustine is Mrs. Mary Carter Lang
ston. who has built up paying hair-
dressing business. Mrs. Langston is
thoroughly interested in every good
movement for the benefit of the race
and lends helping hand to many or.
ganiZa tons of this kind.
Feeling that she could be of service
to the boys and girls by helping to
shape their young minds in channels,
Mrs. Langston decided that library
for the young folks would be an in
teresting enterprise. She secured a
suitable room in Temperance hall for
that purpose, stocked it with good lit
erature and formally opened the II.
brary during the Christmas holidays.
Education is not compulsory In Flori-
da, and for this reason many Of tho
less fortunate among our people do
not take as much interest in their chill
dren's intellectual welfare as they
should; therefore this free library will
afford an opportunity for many chill
dren and youths to get fair knowl-
edge of books. besides being helped
along other lines of useful informa-
ton. The people in the community
look upon this effort of Mrs. Langston
as commendable piece of philan.
thropy.
Notwithstanding the existence Of
prejudice and color discrimination in
the south and elsewhere the white wo-
men of st. Augustine who have charge
of the free public library for their race
are giving Mrs. Langston every en-
couragement in her iaudable undertak.

CAPTAIN GRAHAM RETtRED.

Everybody will be sorry TO learn
that Captain John NJ Graham of the
Ocala Rifles has sent in his resigna-
ton as an officer in the state troops
Captain Graham was one of the first
to volunteer when troops We're first
called for IN the the Spanish-American
war, and tho his duties during that con.
hict were confined to the tedious work
of camp life, no one need doubt that
nc would have been in the front ranks
had the Florida regiment been sent
into battle. Two years after the war,
he enlisted in she ocala Rifles, and has
worked his way up TO the eaptaincy,
honored and trusted by his comrades
in the ranks and his brother officers,
Captain Grahsm IS an ideal citizen
soldier, and tho the pressure of pub
lie and private business makes him
feel like he cannot longer remain in
the service, yet If his country ever
needs him il will find him ready.
