~o1onia Used L Caroliniana Has Many Valuables By JACK FRENCH Staff Writerw A Ohippendale chair used by South Carolina governors is one of a great number of antiques and other treasures in the -South Caroliniana Library. It is situated in the fireproof wing on the Western side -of the library along with other valuable antiques related to South Carolina history. It is said that the chair was made by the famous furniture maker of England, Chippendale. Traditionally the chair was the Chair of State of the Colonial Governors of South Carolina. In the same room with the chair is also an ancient piano presented to the tiniversity by the estate of the late Mrs. Fanny Witherspoon Mason. One unusual fact about the piano is that it has one key that is only approximately one quarter inch in width. As might be expected the piano was out of tune. Besides these interesting anti ques there are to be found upon investigation many other articles among the valuable and exten sive collections in the Library. These museum pieces are kept to a minimum since the Library is not a museum. Those accepted are usually associated with per sons or institutions for which there are manuscripts or printed collections to be enhanced by them. One of the most interesting busts in the library is one of Benjamin Ryan Tillman, one time governor of South Caro lina. Upon close examination one notices that the left eye is closed and the right one open as if he were winking. These antiques, as may be ex peeted, are scattered throughout the library. Many of the larger ones, however, are situated in a room at one end of the main floor. These consist mainly of oil paintings, busts, and furni ture. Manuscripts There are many other phases of work going on in the library such as the manuscript collec tion which consists of more than 1,000,000 papers. The earliest of these date back as far as the late 1000's. Among the out standing manuscripts catalogued If you answered "No' ously smoke Camels - 7 "No" answers mean fast.

Among the other divisions of the library is the picture collec tion, which includes thousands of engravings, photographs, prints, some original water colors, etchings, lithographs of South Carolina people and places. Included in this collec tion are the oil paintings, marble busts, and plaster busts, which adorn the library corners and walls. One of the original watercolors is the one of James Byrnes which appeared on the cover of the Times Magazine several years ago. Also on file are many musical compositions published' or in manuscript form that were writ ten by South Carolina composers or with South Carolina as their theme. Map Collection There is a map collection, al though not as large as the other divisions of the library, comprising quite an impressive collection.

Many of these are the original maps of many counties and areas of South Carolina. The library is a wonderful example of wise and calculated collection of papers, antiques, and other South Carolina arti facts. The people who put the collections together exercised purposeful cohesion between the many divisions of the library. They have made a great effort in closely scrutinizing and col lecting the articles in order to provide a complete coverage of South Carolina history. As could be expected these manuscripts and papers, are old and brittle. This necessitates a photostat and microfilm depart ment. They have a complete collection of microfilms of all the documents and other old articles contained in the library. Several viewers are scattered about the library for the use of anyone desiring to do research.
