LIBRARY SERVES
 GOOD PURPOSE
Waterville Branch Is We'll Patronized By Old
 and Young

The report for the year 193f just Issued by the Board of Agents of the Bronson Library is of interest to Waterviiie residents since 1t de- scribes the results obtained by the establishment of the Waterville Branch in It's new quarters In the WaterviiIe Fire station building, This move which was accomplish ed in 1881 gave the branch larger and more suitable quarters of permanent nature.
 The work of converting the Guar- ters originally planned for a local police precinct which had never been used was done with labor fur nished by the Mutual Aid Unem- ployment Fund and involved the removal of cells and partitions. the construction of n staircase from the lower to the upper rooms and the reniodeliing of two well-lighted rooms, one for adults and the other for children.
 Repairs were made 10 the en- trance porch. q concrete walk laid to the street, and considerable grading done around the approach 10 the building. The branch was ready for occupancy September l. 1881.
 The ciiiidren's room at the local branch, replacing the class room collection formerly sent to Sprague school, has proved most satisfac- tory and there was Il gain during ths year of 7b per cent in juvenile circulation.
 That the improved conditions arc appreciated by the WntervIlle pub Iin is evidenced by the fact that fin tke period from September 1. 1881, to January 1, 1892. the number of books circulated enabled the branch to exceed its best period re- cords of 17,000 or 1S,000 volumes. The adult gain for the entire year was i4:5 per cent and the average daily circulation during the first four months spent in tine new guar ters was 198 volumes, Ill of which we adult and s7 juvenile. This is n combined daily average increase of 63 per cent.
 There is shelf capacity at the WAterville branch for 2.000 vol umes enough to adequately serve local needs for some time to come.
 The branch remains in charge of Mrs William Broughton who has efficiently supervised it for the past several years. It Is open on Tues days, Thursday, and Saturdays from 3:30 10 e:00 D. m. and from to 2 p. m. Mrs Broughton is in charge of the Brooklyn branch of the Bilas Bronson Library on the other days of the week.
 The esta blishmeDt of the chll- drens room neceBitated the ap- pointment of an assistant nt Wa terviiie and the assignment went to Miss Ann Cronln of the chil- dren's and loan department of the Bronson Library.

George Washington learned he
had been elected president of the
United States two months after

their work after nightfall and con-
tinue until the job is finished.
Precinct reporters throughout
the country will speed the results
to county or district centers. Pro-
gressive totals next will be for
warded by telephone or telegraph
to zone headquarters, from there
to central zone state bureau.
The results from each state.
carefully checked and verified,
next are simultaneously tele-
graphed over leased wires to men,
Der newspapers and to THE AS
SOCIATED PRESS bureau at

KARL THOMPSON
SHOULD RECEIVE
SUPPORT OF ALL
FAIRNESS A ND JUSTICE
SHOULD PROMPT EVERY
VOTER TO PUT MARK BE.
FORE HIS NAME

Aside from politics, fairness and
justice should prompt every voter
in Key West to cast his or her bal
lot tomorrow for Karl Thompson
for sheriff.
Mr.. Thompson took part in the
primary and, after a fair and hot
~ contested fight. won the Demo
cratic nomination for sheriff.
His opponent evidently realizes
that to be fact, because he has
told voters in Key West that it is
his friends who have put for
ward his name for the office for
which he was defeated for the
nomination.
In making that statement he
must have realized also that no.
body likes a poor loser, and, in
realizing it, he is trying to shift
the blame of his running to his
friends"
We consider that it is poor ex-
cuse to assume such an attitude.
No friends" can do anything for
a man that is against his prin-
ciples. If the friends" persist in
doing it, then he can make pub
lie announcement that they are
doing it against his will and his
advice. -ea...e.~s-
In this case, however, he has
joined in the canvass that is being
made by the friends and, when
asking for support, adds that he is
running because his friends" have
urged him to run.
The opponent should be aware
that, friends" or no friends" !,
what he is doing will bar him from
participating in future Democratic
primaries, because he has bolted
the Democratic ticket.
From political viewpoint,
Democrats who participated in the
recent primaries are morally
bound to vote the Democratic tic
ket.
If they don't, then they can
base their action only on two so
called reasons: first, they are hard
losers and don't believe in ma
jority rule; secondly, they have no
regard for a moral obligation.
We call on all voters. who be-
lieve in fairness and justice, to put
cross mark tomorrow before the
name of Karl o. Thompson for
sheriff.

When interviewed by a repre-.
sentative of The Citizen this
morning, Mr.. Porter stated:
II am just as sanguine now
of ultimate success of our
negotiations with the r. F. c.
as was in the beginning. We
have made marked progress
during our stay in Washing
ton and every feature of our
application is in such shape as
to enable the engineering
board and the legal and finan-
cial advisers of the r. F. c.
to pass ON il quickly when
they finally come to our pro-
ject. There are some legal
technicaIities stilI to be IRON
ed ioat, however. and there
are also thousands of appli-
cations pending before the X.
r. c., all of which must take
their turn, hence it may pos
sibly be several weeks yet be-
fore our case is finally de-
termined."
Mr.. Porter will go to Miami
within the next few days to con-
fer with other members of the
committee before returning to
Washington. Mr.. Cotton remain
ed in Washington to look after

GET new HEARING
SUPREME COURT RENDERS
DECISION IN PROCEEDINGS;
SEVEN HELD FOR ALLEGED
ATTACKS ON WHITE GIRLS
cay Associated Press,

Il WASHINGTON, Nov. THE
supreme court today set aside
death sentences imposed on seven
negroes at Scottsboro, Alabama,
convicted of assaulting two white
girls.
The ruling means the cases will
go back to Alabama courts for a
new trial. The highest court up
held the contention of the negroes
counsel that they had not had a
fair trial.
In making the decision, Justice
Sutherland said the men, from the
time of their arrangement to be-
ginning of trial, had been sub.
stantially denied counsel at time
when such representation was of
vital Importance in properly pre-
serving the rights of the de-
PENDANTS.
He suggested that the cases had
been forced to trial without pro-
per preparation by counsel.
The alleged attack occurred on
a freight train. The case at
tracted world wide attention and
because of the intense feeling
aroused by it, extra guards had
been at the court on every opinion
day since late last term.
