President Wheatley OF The
Library, GiOes a Statement
Of the History In This City

President Crawford Wheatley, OF
the Carnegie Library association, has
furnished the Times-Recorder with the
following statement, concerning the
library affairs, now of much interest
because of the two committees-one
from the city council, and the other
from the library board, investigating
the affairs
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding concerning the contro-
versy which has arisen between the
City of Americas and the Carnegie
CORPORATION, concerning the mainte-
nance and support of the library, l
deem it encumbent upon me as presl-
dent of the Carnegie Library Associa-
ton of Americas, to place before the
public the following facts, all of which
are matters of record, and easily veri-
fed by reference to the minutes of the
City Council and the Library Associa-
ton.
From the minutes of called meet
ing of the Americas Library Assocla-
ton, held February 21st, 1908, at which
were present Frank Sheffield, j. w.
Sheffield, E. A. Nisbet, A. W. Smith,
Jno. A. Cobb, Frank Harold, Thomas
Harold, J. A. Davenport, c. l.. Ansley,
C. M. Eldridge, r. J. Perry, W. H. G.
Dudley, ST., and Crawford Wheatley, l
take the following:
1.-THE chairman Capt. Jno A. Cobb
stated that the object of the meeting
was to consider proposition for con-
verting the Library into a Carnegie
Library, and the erection of building
for that purpose upon the property OF
our association" after much discus
sion it was finally agreed TO advise Mr..
Carnegie that we (The Americas LII
brary Association) were willing to ten
der the lot owned by our association
to MIR. Carnegie for building site, the
title to the property remaining in the
Association, the name of which was
to be changed from the Americas Lii
brary Association to the Carnegie Lii
brary Association, with the further
provision that the city contribute to
the maintenance of the Library and
name one-third of the directors for the
management of the Association. 1t
was also thought that the building
should cost at least $20,00000,"
This action upon the part of the
Americas Library association was laid
before the Mayor and City Council,
which body, after due consideration
finally adopted the following resolu-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-11-19

Mr.. Lee Allen then took the matter
up with Mr.. Carnegie and after much
correspondence succeeded in getting
the $20,000O0 from the Carnegie Cor
poration for the erection of the present
Library building.
l understand that at the time the
above resolution of council was
adopted, representation was made (by
whom and by what authority | do not
know that it would not require the
full amount of the 100000 hereunder
appropriated to run the Library, and
letters from both the cities of Cordele
and Montezuma were exhibited from
citizens of those places, stating that
their Libraries were operated on much
less than the 1919 guarantee to the
Carnegie Corporation. Our Library
building was completed early in 1909,
and was thrown open to the public as
a Carnegie Library on May list of that
year.
On October 4th a committee com
posed of Messrs. Wheatley, Harold
and Cobb was appointed to go before
the City Council and make a request
for a yearly amount for the support
OF the Library"
On October 18th, called the di
rectors of the Library Association to
gether and reported that the mayor,
Captain Jno B. Fielder, took the posi-
ton that it was Illegal for the city %
give the Library anything, because the
Library was not part of the city
government The following resolu-
ton was, therefore, unanimously
adopted by the board:
Resolved, We, the undersigned d.
rectors, constituting the entire direc-
torate of the Carnegie Library Asso-
citation of Americas hereby tender our
resignation, both to the Mayor and
City Council of Americas, and to the
voting members of said association
the same to take effect Immediately
upon the election of a new Board of
Trustees for the said Library, by the
Mayor and City Council of Americas
such board to consist of as many or
as few as may be, in the discretion OF
the said Mayor and City Council,
deemed necessary" (Signed by the
entire board.)
A cory of this resolution was fur
nished to the Mayor and City Council
but no action was ever taken in re-
gard thereto; but an appropriation Of

$500 per month was afterwards
granted the Library, for part Of the
year 1910. This amount has since
been increased to 100000 in 1911;
81, 10000 in 1912; S1,100.O0 in 1913,
81, 100000 in 1914; $1,000 in 1915.
On August 18th, 1915, report Of
work Of the Library was asked of the

ton, and the following was at once
furnished:

congress has written upon the stat
ute books a tariff law which has
brought prosperity to every class of
the American people. The familiar
shippoleths of the Old Guard, the
prophecies Of impending calamity
have become the butt of mockery and
derision in the light of cold facts.
The noisy forecasts of evil are
drowned in the song of the harvest
and the hum Of the loom.
He has passed unscathed through
a crisis in the international affairs
that would have scared the soul and
paralyzed the mind of weaker char
acter. Charged with the welfare OF
hundred million people, whose
destiny was exposed to all the cross.
currents which blew from the earth's
four corners, he has maintained
peace while giving the world a new
and inspiring vision of the moral
grandeur of the nation, jealous OF
it's honor, but devoted to the inter.
ests of mankind.
In the highest sense he is the en-
bodiment Of a splendid Americanism
The best traditions of the republic
are wrought into the very fiber OF
his being. He loves peace well enough
to fight for it, If need be. He has
made it doubly clear to all the ma
tons of the New and Old World that
the United States covets nothing
which is not legitimately its own. In
trying ordeals he has shown that the
American people ask nothing and
concede nothing, except to work out
their own destiny under the free in
situations which are their peculiar
heritage.
But with it all, the candidate of
the Democratic party is no visionary,
cropping In cloudland. He is a-stir in
world OF realities. He has taken
measures which insure the safety of
his country. If, out Of this welter of
war, this riot of mad passions, should
come a menace to the liberty, peace
and prosperity we enjoy, the forces
he has marshalled with an unvaunt-
ing but determined efficacy will be
ready at hand, waiting only to be
quickened into action by the world
of command.
Strong, alert, tried and approved
by experience, he has won the con-
fidence of the people, and this will be
their verdict at the polls.

PRESIDENT WILSON

The Democratic party goes before
the American people with a candi-
date whose wisdom and ability in a
period of unparalleled storm and
stress entitle him to support in the
name of a patriotism which dwarfs
all narrow patriotism. His record of
achievement has won the applause of
his friends, the admiration of his po-
litical foes, and the gratitude of the
nation at large.
He has given the country cur
rency system which on the eve of uni
versal upheaval enabled finance and
industry to stand mistaken. What
the conditions would have been I'M
der Republican rule may easily be
imagined by recalling the disaster of
1907. He has proved himself a bet
ter pilot in storm than the Repub-
Leans in an era of profound tran

Health Hints
What we eat today is working and think

What we eat today is working and think
ing tomorrow.
Man is machine. Health comes from
the harmonious action of its parts. Sick
ness means that the machine needs adjust
ment.
Avoid predigested foods; not only does
their use lead to weakness of the digestive
organs, but such foods fail to nourish; they
ferment and decompose soon after eating.
The osteopath believes, of course, that
germs are cause of disease, also cause
of slime on pond, but there is another
cause -stagnation. He endeavors to remove
the cause of stagnation from the human or
ganism. AS general rule, germs will not
grow in flowing blood stream any more
than slime will form on moving waters.
