KIpDIES LIKE LIBRARY
Miss Mary Nettsrf Of Carton 10 IL
bcoSian

| Although the community library q
Carlton has less than 200 volumes
It h proving to be an important fac
tor In the towns life, through thu
personal efforts Of the librarian, Miss
Mary Nottorf. It might be said tna'
what the library lacks In books IL
made up by Miss Nottorfs efforts to
gain the interest Of children.
Each Saturday afternoon Miss
Nottorf has the children meet her at
the library and they have q nature
club studying birds, trees and hear
fairy stores she treats them to phon-
ograph music; they play games and
some times do kindergarten work ;
and then the children take out books,
usually each choice being suggested
by somthing the child has learned
during the afternoon.
On one occasion, because the kim
dergarten teacher was Ill, 1t was pro-
posed that the school would be held
on Saturday to make mp for the day
missed. But the children protested !:
1--WE can't come; we have to 60 to
the library!" So the Saturday school
was called of.

DEFLATION CRISIS
OVER LAST MONTH
Fairfax Harrison Foresees Better
Times
The State.

The State.
Chester, Feb. 24.-Fairfax Harrl
son, president of the Southern rail
way, was guest of the Chester
chamber of commerce today.
At a luncheon given in his honor
Mr.. Harrison said the crisis in tht
present period of financial depression
was reached the last week in jan
uary. Since this time there has bee.
a decided change in the 12 states tra-
versed by the Southern railway. nc
states that conditions are gradually
getting better and that things will
be normal again by autumn. What
he had to say was based on lnfornna-
tion that comes to him from official
sources in both railroad and financial
circles. He is optimistic over the
future and while he does not predict
any such prosperity as the country
enjoyed in October, 1919, and April,
1920, he sees better days for all in
dustry not far hence.
President Harrison came to Ches-
ter at the invitation of the chamber
of commerce. He was very much
pleased with the great number Of I'M
provements in Chester since his visit
here ten years ago and took a great
interest in the prospective develop
ment of the community as pointed
out to him.
He left Chester on special at z
o'clock in the afternoon for Colum-
bia, where he will deliver an address
on "The School of Hellas" Saturday
to the classical scholars of the Sou
thern states.

wears, with an amendment to reduce
the sentence for violation Of the act

No recommendations were made oy
the same committee on the house
measure to greatly increase the pow
er of the public service commission.
Two bills of considerable interest
came over from the house one to in
crease the number of trustees at the
university and the other relating to
the procuring of certificate from
physician by contracting couples be-,
fore they can receive marriage IL
cense. the intent being to see that
both parties are free from diseases.
The latter bill is by Representative
Simonhoff.
The free conference report on the
bill to give the general assembly fin
ancial control over all state revenues
and expenditures was adopted, the
report taking in practically all of the
senate amendments to. the original
house bill. A concurrent resolution
calling for the appointment of a JOINT
committee to look into the feasibility
of erecting an Office building for all
state Offices was received from the
house. but no action was taken.
At 10 o'clock rather protracted

large number of appointments made
by the governor during the past year

ion, are so worthy as the cause to
which we are now calling your atten-
ton"
There arc 96 inmates now in the
home, says the report, with several on
the waiting list. The committee rec
ommends that the superintendent be
authorized to employ an additional
graduate nurse and that an appropri-
alton sufficient for the purchase Of
three additional milk cows be made.
Wants Woman on Board
In conclusion, the report says: eve
are of the opinion that either due to
mismanagement or lack of proper in
terest the home in the past has not
been properly cared for, but we have
no quarrel to pick with any one re-
sponsible for the conditions, it being
our only desire to remedy the condi-
tions now existing and prevent its re-
currence. We believe that the pres
ent superintendent is doing the best
he can under the circumstances, and
are happy to report that without ex-
ception the inmates of the home are
highly pleased with his administra-
ton of it's affairs but, as so frequent
ly stated in this report, he, nor any
other superintendent that may be had
can do justice to the inmates under
the conditions now existing.
1--WE strongly recommend that at
least minority of the members Of
the board of control of the institution
be ladies, for the very good reason
that at present it will only take a
glance around the premises to con-
vince one that the helpful influence
and beneficial touch of the good wom-
en- has been lacking in the past, and
we believe that if they be given a
voice in the administration Of the
affairs of the home that a recurrence
of the present conditions at the home
will be impossible

Greenwood, Feb. 24.-Refusing to
hold up his hands when confronted
by two armed men last night about
$50 o'clock while on his way home
from his shoe repair shop, ". T. Sax
on, about so years of age, was pos
sibly fatally shot in the shadow of
church in the Greenwood mill village
where he lives. According to Chief
of Police M. D. Chandler whom Saxon
asked to see after being carried to a
local hospital, he identified one of his
assailants as John Burnett, mill en-
ployee. Hack Fuller, another mill
employee, is also under arrest.
When accosted by the holdup men,
Saxon says he recognized them and
laughed, thinking they were playing
a joke on him. Burnett, he claims,
told him if he did not hold up his
hands he would shoot. Saxon replied
that he did not have the grit to shoot,
it is said, and received one bullet at
close range. The bullet apparently
was an explosive bullet. It ranged
downward through the abdomen, tear
ing jagged holes in the intestines.
Physicians say Saxon has no chance
of recovery.
The tragedy last night was the eli
max of seriesof robberies and hold
ups. Two Bailey Military Institute
cadets were robbed Of a small amount
Of jewelry q few weeks ago, and two
other cadets, by refusing to hold up
their hands, bluffed three bandits into
flight last Friday night: ''iafs.ts; aisss.
