In 1913 q legislative. reference collec-
ton was created. Book collections in
many Virginia colleges are valuable.
Most Of the publications in the State
Library are along the line Of virginiana.
Winchester, with . population of 1000
has q library bsquest of $3.50. 900. and
building of cut stone which cost $40
900, and stack capacity of $4,000
volumns. The requests to Virginia
libraries amounted to 1908. 900. much
Of which has not been spent.
WEST VIRGINIA.
There is not a free public library
municipality supported in the State of
West Virginia, and the bill for a free
library law presented at recent legis-
lature failed to pass. There Is good
State law for school libraries which
have about 225, 900 volumns throughout
the State. The Libraries in Huntington,
Wheeling, Parkersburg. Paramount and
Charleston are under the control of the
Board Of Education. There is.no State
Association and no Commission.
Not a pleasant reflection for
those charged with the duty of
public education.
Why should not Charles Town
earn her title of THE Athens of
West Virgins" by inaugurating,
however modestly, publ ic libra
ry system along lines recently
suggested?

To Major Hunter.

Yesterday Mayor Robert w. Hunter
quietly celebrated the seventy.
year of bis birth. On the corresp ,nding
day last year. which was Saturday,
July 18th. 1918. the following editorial
was printed in The Star under title
"A Far Mile Stone" and we take pleas
ure in printing it again. for the words
apply TODAY to Mayor Hunter just as
they applied year ago: :
1--WE offer congratulations to Major
Robert W. Hunter upon the attainment
today of his 18th birthday. Time has
dealt gently with Major Hunter, for
his step is yet bouyant, his mind keen
and vigorous, his eye alert and clear
glowing, and his spirit undaunted and
blithe still with the very essence Of
youth Nor has time dulled the edge
of the Majors wit, nor taken from his
sense of humor one ray of its scintil-
liant variety His manners are cour1ly
and of the old school of Virginia. his
attitude wise and kind and tolerant to-
ward changed conditions, his philoso-
ply rich with the JOY and the spice of
life.
The Major lives in the present, and
the past. too. For the ceaseless march
of time cannot take from his memory
those epic days when the South, fight
ing "a glorious fight, with the odds
against herin numbers, called upon the
brain and Drawn and valor of her sons
land called moi in vain! He remem-
.bers wildly those days when men
smelled battle smoke, and fought with
savage courage for their wives and
children and fireside, and dreamed
dreams of great victories-won at. the
cost of fathers and brothers and sons.
Time cannot still the surging heart
beats when names were spoken that
will live forever.
And SO. Major Hunter has come to a
far milestone. and with his children
and grandchildren about him-.the
white hair mingled with the gold''-
and his friends nearby, he. journeys in
love and peace, through the Golden
Evening toward the Great Sunset -
Winchester Star.

For A Town Library.

In a recent address delivered
before an assemblage of librarians
of national prominence, by Miss
Wooton, her topic being Librar-
Ns.in the South, y that conceded
authority on the subject. said:
Virginia has = liberal library law
which permits any town or county to
tax itself to obtain library. and the
State Library Of Virginia has been es-
pecialiy active since 1905. still there
are but two municipality supported lib.
raries in the State. There are in all

An Appeal.

Il wish to make an appeal to the
community in the name of the Charles
Town General Hospital.
About three years ago the enter
prise was started and |, with a NUM-
Der Of others, gave $4,000 with. the
hope of establishing hospital second
to none in the state, though smaller
in capacity. Then, induced MIR. P
w. Rouss to give 100000 TO which
added $4,000 making $500, which
has been paid.
We do this to give confidence in
the enterprise and to enable the work
to begin at once. There is much
more money needed, and | hope the
people Of the community will come
forward and assist US in substantial
way. The merits of the hospital need
not be reviewed here, but all know
that it has been the direct means OF
saving many useful lives of the rich
and poor, and there many of the most
delicate and serious operations have
been most skillfully performed, leav-
ing nothing in our able body of medi-
cal men and surgeons to be desired.
The hospital is not large enough
to do all the work brought to it and
we want to enlarge its facilities, make
it more comfortable and convenient
for patients, doctors and nurses, and
give every one who comes under ITS
care the benefit ofevery modern mi
provement. We feel that every man
should have deep interest in this
matter, for often, when we least ex-
pect It, the lives of our families may
depend upon the possibilities Of
reaching hospital without the neccs-
sary loss Of, time and the ..discomfo rts
of railroad journey to a ETY. The
ladies have done and are still doing
noble work in their various means
Of assistance, for which we most
gratefully thank them.
Anyone who will contribute as
much as twenty-five dollars to this
worthy object, will receive share
Of stock for each $500 so given.
This will entitle the donor TO a vote
IN the management of this institution.
Mr.. w. o. Norris, the treasurer Of
the Hospital Association will receive
and acknowledge all contributions.

When God reckons up the real heroes
Of the world, it viii be no strange thing
If many country doctor unknown to
fame, wealth and social prominence,
should be upon the list--these men who
are content to live amid circumscribed
surroundings and willingly give their
all-braving rough roads and floods and
often death itself in winters coldeh1t
summers heat, uDcomplainingly cover
ing long miles, when weary and worn,
to alleviate human suffering, with little
thought of compensation. We heard of
one the other day who. when he had
made brilliant record in great uni-
versity and was offered lucrative po-
sition at the start by the faculty, said,

man was sent for and when the fatter-
ing offer was spread before him, said,

skilled services are needed as much by
the poor in the country as by the rich
in the city;5there is something mole in
life than money and fame. And to-
day this gifted young physician is liv-
ing self sacrificing life in the noun
tains, and God alone knows the work
that he is doing among the needy. We
knew another whose life was contin-
uous benediction to the, community in
which he lived and often when he had
done all that human skill could do, he
woul1 carry his patient on the wings
of prayer to the Great Physician. =
