Soldier Boys in CkOlOna.

Yesterday morning when the
people began to arrive in the
business section of the city they
were surprised to find that por-
ton Of the city around the Jail in
che hands of Ajutant General
Scales and his troops. Enquiry
was made and it developed that
che troops had been sent here to
guard a negro by the name of
Jim Norman who is charged
With attempted criminal assault
on the person Of Mrs. Jim Fowl
err, near Rienzi in AIcorn county,
on Aly. l, 1912.
Norman lsu teen in jail at
Bonneville since his caTture a
short time ago and is to be taken
to Corinth for trial this week.
Gov. Brewer, after conferring
with Judge Clayton, deemed it
unsafe to allow the negro to go
there without more than ordina-
ry protection; hence the troops
were ordered out.
A telephone message from Cor
inth, however, states that all is
quiet there Notwithstanding the
fear of the officers that trouble
would ensue when Norman ar
rived there.
In order to forestall any posi-
BILE movement to beat the militia
ry boys to their charge, the ne
{ ro was brought in an automo-
lie from Eooreville to Verona
Tuesday night and there placed
aboard tie train and brought to
this city tr0 arrived without the

When the trocrs arrived, SC

Carnegie Library for 0kolona

During the December term of
thesChancery Court, when it be-
came known that the old Jail lot
would sell and that a good title
could be secured to it, some pro-
,gressive citizens began to talk
of securing this lot for the pur-
pose of erecting thereupon a
public library. The proposition
met with pretty general favor,
and a meeting was called at the
court house last Friday night
with the result that a plan of
work was outlined and a COM
mittee appointed to carry out
the project.
Talks were made by Rev. j.
H. Holder, and Attorneys A. T.
Stovall and l.. P. Haley. Be-
sides these formal speeches, a
general discussion was had and
the following committee was
appointed to take up the matter
with the city council and do
whatever else was necessary to
secure the library, viz:
Messrs. A. T. Stovall, W. j.
Williams, T. M. Beatty, R. A..
Hawkins, H. L. Morrison, and
F. J. Mcdonnell, Sr., and Mrs.
M. R. Waller and Mrs. T. j..
Buchanan.
This is a very great move for
the town and should not be al :
lowed to fall through. If this
lot cannot be secured another
should be selected and the
library secured. Let all pull
together for this much needed
addition to the literary improv E.
mant Of the town.

and the ladies' are on the hustle to
secure as large a number Of votes
by that time as possible. They
are not only working, but they
are rolling up the votas, judging
from the way the ballot box is
filling there will be some sur
prises when the count is an
nounced.
Most of the ladies seem to
have their affections set on the
larger voting coupons, from the
way new Subscriptions are re-
ceived. This is all we'll enough h
but while work is being pushed
, for these coupons Of large de-
domination the smaller coupons
should not be neglected. All
count alike for their face value
and no coupon is so small that it
might not decide' the contest.
For a time, it seemed that the
smaller coupons were more in
demand than the larger ones,
not SO now. Have your friends
ask for the votes when they
trade.
The following merchants will
each give a prize and issue votes
in the contest, viz:

way known as democracy, in which every fellow,

chance.
If, then, democracy is to have temples of music
and art and letters as of course it should and WILL
can we allow privileged few to mortgage the front
pews? Would it be democracy at all if that spirit
were to be admitted into it?
AS we progress toward democracy, you're likely
to find increasing eagerness the part OF those
who were preferred under the old regime to jockey

They'll be quite willing to found Libraries, endow
hospitals and other charities and give OF their
abundance for public purposes, always on the con-

Many officials, processing to be loyal democrats
are glad to consent to such compromises.
The mayor of San Francisco seems to have the
courage as well as the logic of his convictions.
Because his action is rare but wholesome, call
attention to it.
