Sta'o Su peri lite mien o( Education Martin continues to use every < Ifort in his power to en courage and aid in 'lie establishment of libraries in the public schools throughout the state, lie ^evidently has a proper appreci tit ion of the value ol good literature in the hands of school children. Some weeks ago, as noted in these columns at the time, Mr. Martin notified the county superintendents of education that re quisitions for libraries must be made before the first of this month, but it appeals from a >iircular letter just sent out by lum to the various counties that requisitions may now be sent in, Mr. Martin having made ar range me nts to continue the establishment of libraries until an other appropriation shall be KUCKVI^i In the letter referred to Mr Martin says: We wrote you some time a^o that library requisitions (or 1905 must come in before January 1st. Tbere have been established 050 libraries and 97 have been en larged since the passage of the Auil act. I am very anxious to keep this work moving, so I have decided to advance tlie money tjn any library that yon may send in belore I lie next appropri^ fit ion by the legis'atuie. I hope. ' therefore, that you will let your teachers and trustees understand * 7,1 hat libraries may be established "now. Send on requisitions just tck^. yOU i,avp been doing. I hope "??t you are keeking a strict achant in your oflice of every liery established and every fl-arv onlartrt rl ?f o k BENEFACTOR TO LANCASTER. P p Tlie News ami Courier by no . means exaggerates what Colonel ?. Leroy Springs has done and is doing for Lancaster, in its edi torial reproduced elsewhere in today's paper. No man has 'over done more for this community and this county. As o u r esteemed contemporary truly says, Col. Springs's "activities are narrowed to no single object, and his sympathies are with all good movements affecting the interest of the people" What would Lancaster be today were it not for the en'erprises ' ?nd in< ustiieg loundeo by him '( Aside from givingemplovment to thou?aud&, through Col. Springs ' iusti umentulity many hundreds of thousands ot dollars have been added to the value of the taxable property of Lancaster comity. Hi* numerous farms alone have proven of inestimable value to the country as object lessons in i progressive farming. 1 It is true that Col. Springs lias made money since he came to Lancaster some twenty or more years ago, but, whore he has made one dollar here he has made ten ; elsewhere, and his good fortune in evtry instance lias ledotinded r to Lancaster's benefit. 1 ? > Homicide Sunday Night. I ' I Henry Dunham Shot and Killed by Clark Ivy, both {""Irdnrf^rt ? ? SiVinnt incr in the Vanwyck Section. A homicide occurred in this , county Sunday night, in the Vanwyck section, on Mr. M. M. Tillman's plantation, bo h the parties being negroes. Honr\ Dunham was shot, and kil!e< 1 by Clark Ivy, the killing occurring at the lat or'a home. The (acts as learned here are that Dunham, having heard that he had been accused by Ivy ot stealing the lattor's chickens. went to see him about it. He called Ivy to the door and asked him if he had made such charge, and upon Ivy^s acknowledging that he had, Dunham dared him to com.? oct into tlie yard and repeat it. 1 ?.n Ivy declined to do, whereupon Dunha;1 fn ipped his pistol at him. Ivy reached above his head and got his gun I and discharged one barrel at Dunham, missing him. Dunham snapped his pistol for the second time, aud just as he <id so Iyv fired the o'her barrel of his gun, the load striking Dunham in 1 lie stomach, death re sulitng in a short time Ivy was brought here Monday and lodged in jail by Constable Crenshaw.
