"The New Practical Reference
Library," Published
by the Dixon, Hanson
Company, New York and
Chicago, 1907.
PAPER NO 4.
I
lh:9 work boasts of its "ac- ]
curacy'1 but in the three preced- ]
ing papers I have shown that this ]
claim is not well founded. The <
mistakes already noted are only j
a few of the many I have found, i
This work also boasts that it (
contains "latest information" |
and "information concerning im- i
portant universities, colleges and i
other educational institutions." i
Let us try it by this test.
This work has no 9ort of refer
ence to Lancaster ami Chester i
bv ^ does cou'ain an article of i
eleven lines about Uoek Hill, i
Mention is made that Winthrop
College is located there but no ]
sort of description of it is given.
Here then is one of the greatest '

says Vbout this college. But !
this article on Roclr Hill doe9 t
give us "the latest information" i
on another point It tells us ]
that 'Mhe city has street rail- I
ways." Here this great ''New i
Practical Reference Library" has
etruck oil. 44 Accurate" on one I
thing at last. It certainly on i
this point has "latest informa- ;
tion." It must have 9ent a i
special reporter to Rock Hill to
collect this valuable and rare ,
bit ot knowledge. This is a part 1
of its precious "information not ,
easily accessible elsewhere." ,
Rock Hill has street "railways." 11

corporosily ha* been transported
from the depot to Winthrop Col- i
lege on this raiphtv system of ,
y "railways" which is worthy of
mention in this "New Practical
Reference Library." This won (
dertul "Library" would, ot
course, rot omit the mention of ,
such a great business enterprise
as this system of "railways" for i
i -i has "full information" and
'Milatest information." This railway
system of Rock Hill has
only one track and that one not
more than a nnle and a hall
long. It has four mules and
four coaches. Two mules pull
a car. Recently one faithful
mule died. This "Library" will
doubtless shortly furnish a photograph
of this mule together
with Editor Connors' faithful
biography of the said mule, to
gether with note*, comments and i
suitable bibliography. The men <
concerned in the publication of I
this "New Practical Reference i
Library" may contemplate tak- i
ing bodily this system of "rail- <
ways" to Chicago just as some
other things have been taken
ther$; of course, they want the i
best in railway enterprise as
they do in book-making. I am '
going to mention some other i
things that we here know about; *
and show how this book treats
them. I shall confine this paper i
to South Carolina affairs. It
gives seventeen lines to Gen. i
Kershaw and vkat it says about
Jrtm is well enough. But it has
ot one word about Gen. M. O. <

THE LA
Butler and yet he was a brilliant b
Confederate general, was long a p
United States geu?t?r after the J c
war, and major general in the a
Spanish war. He 19 in every re- if
?pect a9 worthy of mention a9 b
Jen. Kershaw. But the Yankee si
3eD. B. F. Butler ha* elaborate h
mention and yet even about him h
Dne thing is left ou!; ?nd that p
&hing is that it was currently re e
ported at the time that said B it
F. Butler while commanding in ti
Mew Orleans was a most excel- q
lent judge of silver spoons. This n
"Library" omits that interesting li
item. There is also no mention g
in this work of Lleury Timrod ; C
and, yet this work so accurate" "
ana so ton of "latest information"
is "intended primarily lor
Ihe use ot students and their
teachers" as we are pompously
told in the preface. For years i
now great interest has been
taken in tins poet and his work ; o
)I
so much so that a northern firm it
and a southern tirm have both ^
published lull editions of his i
poems. And yet Snu'h Caiolina .1:
people are asked t> huv this
New Practical Reference Li- I
brary," although no sort of mention
is made of one who is justly
dear to this state, t ? the whole
South, and will be some day, to
the whole nation. All educated j
men are supposed to know about ^
him; but this wonderful "Li- ^
brary" is not aware I hat any j
such man ever lived. This ,
e
' New Practical Referenct? Library"
does not come up to the
description of it given either iu ^
the preface or by the agent who ^
3old it.
Take another example. No y
sort of mention i9 made of Dr. \
Thornwell, the great president ']
ot South Carolina College. lie \
occupies a large place in the a
educational history of this state. (
Many of his educational papers ?
are unsurpassed. His defence j
of state education has scarcely j
ever been equalled and only a
three or four years ago the c
United States Commissioner ot
education republished, in one of j
his annual reports, this great r\
document so that educators )
everywhere might 'i?ve easy ac- v
cess to it, but ?l! of this is r
sweetly unknown to this "New r
Practical Reference Library" ?
which is lor "students and their ;
teachers" and which is lull of
the "latest information." It is 1
amazing how our people here in 1
the South are imposed upon by ~
book agents. Many of our peo- i
pie, like a nest ol young birds, r
swallow down anything that is
brought to them. It is high time v
tor that sort of thing to stop.
Take another example. Francis
Lieber is a great name in the
educational history not only of
Ibis state but of the world, lie ^
came to this state in 1835 and
remained at the Sonth Carolina f|
College about twantv vears. tl
O - / - 1 J,
While there he wrote his world n
wide famous works : "Manual
of Political Ethics"; ''Legal and s
Political Iiermeneutic9"; and ti
Civil Liberty and Self Government."
When the civil war r
came on he wrote for President b
Lincoln: "Code of war for the ?
Government of the armies of the 1
o
United States in the Field," and b
this work has been pronounced *
by specialists as a great master- f
piece in its lino. The biography ?
of this man is one ot remark*- c
