LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING

The association held meeting
wednesday afternoon to elect officers
TOR the coming year, fifteen present.
Mrs. w. G. Davis was elected pres
ldent, Mrs. A. G. Bradham, vice presi-
dent, Mrs. A. r. Helms, secretary and
treasurer.
After the election of officers it was
carried that Mrs. Davis could not
serve as president, so Mrs w. p. Lcgg
Will continue in office.
Mrs: A. Il. Helms was appointed
the delegate to represent the associa-
ton at State Federation at Camden
accompanied by the president, Mrs
w. p. Legg.
Hope the members of the associa-
tion will take more active interest
IN the Library this year, and make
IT. the very best year of it's history.
Not often is our little library brought
before the public, and We sometimes
wonder If the people of Manning ap-
preciate their privilege of owning
such beautiful building and their
opportunity of using the books for
the small sum of one dollar a wear.
That entities them to two books a
week, one hundred and four books
year, less than one cent to read a
good book. Out of membership of
more than one hundred, about thirty
pay their dues.
We try to hold business meeting
the last Wednesday in each month
ana l really believe if the members
would attend these meetings they
would become so enthused, and inter
ested in the work, that the Library
would be one of the most attractive
places in our town.
we have nice fixtures for water in
the house and yard, but no water, as
we nave not the means to pay for it,
ana city does not furnish it. Though
IT would Ike very small amount for
use IN the house, and it is impossible
TO grow flowers on the grounds
without water. We have nice electric
lights and l am proud to saw that
MIR. Lucious Harvin is public spirited
enough to furnish electricity, free of
cost to the Library.
We also have a board of trustees,
Mr.. Charlton DuRant, Mr.. A. c.
