year, for we have only received 5000
from the City, instead of $1,000 re-
ceived during previous years, and the
donations from the County have been
only $3.50, instead of the $500 prom
ised at the beginning of the year. In
addition to this, it is very difficult to
even cash the vouchers given US by
the City and County, and for this
reason the City is now more than $500
behind on this years obligation.
We are due our Librarian months
salary, which we are unable at present
to pay, and unless some arrangement
can be made whereby the City and
County can extend to us a more lib
eral patronage, the usefulness of our
Library to the community will be
greatly curtailed.
From your Treasurer's report
find that the total amount of eXpendi-
lures for the Library during the past
year have been $1169.52, which is
nearly $500 less than the amount
pledged by the City to the Carnegie
Foundation Fund for the support and
maintenance of our Library.
Your building is in need of some
minor repairs. Especially is this true
of the roof, but a lack of funds has
prevented me from giving this mat
ter the attention which it deserves.
Our insurance upon the building is
also due, but your President has been
unable to pay for a renewal of part OF
this insurance. The same is now be-
ing carried by your Treasurer Mr.. N.
NJ. Dudley. This insurance should be
paid at once, but your President Is
unable to do so until funds are on
hand for this purpose.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY VALUABLE ASSET
TO AMERIClS AND SUMTER COUNTY

The city fathers and county commits
sioners have neglected the library to a
large degree this year and their ap
preparations have been small in com
parison to what could be expected
from them. The work of the library
is sadly handicapped for lack of funds.
Some provisions must be made in or
der to allow the library to continue its
usefulness here,
Here are the reports of the officials
showing in detail the work of the Ii
brary for the past year:
Librarians Report
To the Members of the Americus Car
negie Library Association:
Gentlemen: 1 herewith submit to
you the sixth annual report of the
Americus Carnegie Library covering
the work of the Library from May the
1st, 1914, to April Both, 1915.
There has been a steady increase il
the many uses made of the Library for
the year, and though the funds for the
maintenance of it have been much
smaller than those of last year, the
large and growing patronage, the in
terest and appreciation shown by them
encourage a belief in a progressive in
stitution in the future.
REGISTRATION.
New Members of the year ...... 234
Registrations of the year ...... 399
Total registration of the year -. 633
There has been an increase in the
membership of the Library every year
since it wos opened. Our membership
for the first year was 925, for the Sec
ond year it was 1884, for the fifth year
it was 2,212, and it is now 1853. The
largest we have had. All of the first
years memberships that were not re-
newed during the year are not counted
in our present membership. Member
ships expire every five years.

DIET OF RUBBER FOR
ANGLEWORMS MAKES
"CATCH-ALL" B A | T
AND IF THEY STRETCH AND SNAP
OFF, FISH Is STUNNED AND
AW, READ ON!
CONTINUED from Page u

SMITH, La, May 26.-Jesse Sanzer
the champion yellow perch fisherman
of Benzie, has invented a bait by
winch he expects to break all records
this season and catch enough perch
10 feed all the city folks that come
up to TIE lake.
Jesse has a new breed of fishing
worms and he's ready. Last fall dur
ing the plowing Jesse filed big box
with rich dirt and caught half a
bushcl or so of fat worms.
Then he took about four doXen old
rubber overshoes and two old auto
mobile tires and ground them up fine
in the hay cutter and mixed them with
the dirt in the box.
Now the worms have eaten all the
rubber and some of them will stretch
eight inches and snap like a rubber
band. Jesse don't reckon the perch can
pull them off the hooks at all.
If a perch does manage to pull the
Ncrm off the hook it will snap so hard
aid hit the fish on the nose and stun
it, 50 Jesse can catch it with his
haI DIS.

city school teachers, as well as the
students of these respective schools.
50 that your library has now become
an absolutely necessary adjunct TO
your public school system.

County Must Care For Library.

Miss Virginia Gum, librarian of the
Americus Carnegie Library, President
Crawford Wheatley, and Treasurer
Macon Dudley of the Library associa-
ton, have made their reports for 1914
1915 to the board of directors of the
association. Their reports show the
Carnegie Library is popular institu-
ton of the city and county. and one
that should be encouraged.
Citizens of Americas and Sumter
alike have taken advantage of the ex-
cellent opportunities offered by the
library. 1858 persons have enrolled
as members and many more have used
the reading and reference rooms.
The collection of books and period
icals has been added to and the Amer
icus library is now among the best in
the state. Additional books are added
from time to time as the income of
the library warrants.
The success during the past year OF
the library has been mainly due to the
untiring efforts of Miss Virginia Gum,
tht efficient librarian. Her ability and
enthusiasm have been the making of
the Carnegie Library in Americus.

Before us is a stack Of reports Of

are published by state departments of
agriculture. They make more than
a thousand pages OF reading matter.

Most of this is mighty good hay and
there many needles with fine points,
but why should there not be a guide

the result is that they never get a real

Autumn Management of Breeding

During the past few weeks unusual
interest in sheep has been evident

LEG BROKEN WHILE THREsHINc

Claude D. Roberts, aged ii, had
both bones of his right leg broken
just below the knee, and his left
knee badly crushed while threshing
for Frank Johnson on the Draws
farm in the town of Clifton last
Friday.
He was driving a heavily loaded
wagon when the standard broke, 1t
fell down onto one of the horses, a
young colt, and the kicking and
pitching threw Roberts onto the
tongue of the wagon and from there
he fell under, both wheels passing
over his legs.
Although his injuries are severe,
at present he is doing we'll and
there is every indication of COM
plete recovery.
