Miller"* IileiiM i?s lo flow It Miiy l>e Hail. The writer i)as spent most of his life in oolleue towu><. Consequently he always had access lo hooks. CutII a few years pant he hardly knew what it was not to be able to obtain standard books. I am sorry to say Abbeville with n.11 of lis Md vantages, botn social and literary, Is deficient in this respect. N'ot long since I tried to And a copy ol Vanity Fair and failed. 1 have had the same experience with reference u> Deljuincey'sjamous book, "The Conleaslons c?i an Opium Eater." ir they are in any of our private libraries I could not get 011 track ol tlieni. We are sorely in need of a public library. A lew years ago I bad a conversation wlh a prominent lawyer in a neighboring town. He spoke of a young mat) wbo bad been ofr at school and hud come home witb his dipiorua. His l'atbt-r had at considerable sacrifice managed to give him an eduCHtlon. And yet, said the lawyer, "I doubt if Ihereitrea hatf dozen standard books in his home." When this Is the cas-> what Is the use ol an education? Amid such environments the Intellectual activities of young men and young women will become stagnant and go to rust. We have men In our community who are sending ihelr children off to the very best schools abrond. Shall they come home and find that they cannot get books to read? Shall ihey come borne and And that their companions, those with whom they are to live and to associate, are uninformed for the ' same leason? We are all bound up together?high and low, rich and poor. Consciously and unconsciously we exert an Influence upon one another. We can not fiee ourselves Irom this inexorable law, even If we would, if we would attain to a high degree o I culture and refinement, those with whom we come In dally contact, must experience the saine benefit. Here in a very important sense a little leaven leitvenetli ilie whole lump. We ought by all means to have a public library open to all. Hy a little effort we might easily have a llb'ary with a thousand volumes. It will not requ'.re much monep from any one. The Abbeville Graded School has already started u small llbrury. Let this be made the nucleus. Let. t he board of trustees s>arl a subscription list and let every one who can promise to uive at least one book, old or new, or in lien thereof one dollar some time during the \ ear 1MI.V do mo. Jf aov one warns to be Ken erous aud Hi give more?say tifty ??r a hull dred dollars? why, of course, receive ll Bui simply ask lor one book or one dollar during the year IS>5. If any one wants to donate a number ol books, usslgn them a spec!lied place In the library and name the collection after tlieni. Ask our Congressmen and Senators to semi the obituaries of deceased members and o<her public documents. Ask the Superintendents ot Education, State and National, to send what books lliuy can distribute free solicit contributions from Jcadlnic publishing houses. Let the library he open every Saturday and tree to all who will take care of ilie book which they borrow. In this way we can readily obtain a public library of which Abbeville will be proud and which will be an ornament to our town. It will be of Incalculable advantage to every class of our people, Our young men in the professions and in business and our young women in school and out of school will thus be enabled to tcet books to read. The town and people will reap a reflex Influence. The standard of intelligence will be raised, our taste will be cultivated, our lives made happier, and our ideas broadened. Let the year 1895 be a red letterone In the history ol Abbeville. Twelve months from this time may we boast of a splendid public library. Waller L. Miller. ?t ? ? nrrwonw nnrrrnr VjUijiliOUlX UUiJUJJU JJi ProTeMNor DnPre Home lo Spend the ChriMtniHN. Prof. J. F. C. DuPre, of Clemson College nme down lust .Saturday to see hie hoob and friends in the village. No inun Is belter tiled tor the position which he holds it CleniBon. Honlculiure has been his favorite xi"?<y for a lilt* time, and he Is today perliapstbe mostaclentitle and practical man lo t,uat pursuit in the Southern Slate*. He made the crown of ihe barren Secession Hill if this village ihe most beautiful aud fragrant spot of South Carolina, and Its rocky side* were covered with grape growing vine and fruit bearing tree. His election at the time was deemed the j aest that could have been made, and we have no doubt that ihe experience of the past ha* Liroven the wisdom oi hi* promotion. The Frees and banner sought an interview with the Professor, but he pleaded lack of lime, aud declined. He talked gome, howevsr, on canning, and shed new light on this Important branch of Industry. He says that as food outfit as need Ue for ordinary neignuoriood enterprises can tie liad for a hundred loilars, which would be sufficient for cunning leariy everything, excepting a lew vegeta jIt's whicli requlrea greater leinperaturethan an be had Iu open boilers. He regards the canning industry as oneoi he most important in the South. He thinks ve have the best lavored country in the I world, and Is enthusiastic in liIs speech ol Jlemsou College. He thiukH that there is no way to compute the good which will result to he people of the State because of its estabisbment. In answer to a question as to the Abbeville >oys there be gave most satisfactory reports. fViiaredolue well, and some are excelling in Ihetr special departments. No one wiio hears Professor DuPre talk can fall to be Impressed with the excellence of the Institution, while being inspired with more or it*HHOf his zeal In the practical development >f the country. The Press and Banner, among other things isked p?rtl<iilnrly as to President Craighead. Hie Professor mote than confirmed the previous opinion which we had formed, that President Craighead Is eminently qualified 'or the position which lie holds and that no mau couid better nil the place. President >alghead Is full of energy, and because of that energy he h-s excited some opposition wnicn IB nouuu 10 yieia us soon u? dc hub iiku time to prove the wisdom of his course. His v.-ry excellence and superior ability, together with his energy. Is the only reasonable objection to hi in. Ever since he attended our Rchool Institute it Abbeville we have been Impressed with his ability, his acquirements, and his very practical method.-. Professor PuPre confirms Lhis opinion, and we are more than ever a Uraighead man. Under his management the L'lenisoo College will always stand foremost miong the foremost colleges of the country. Professor PuPre leturned to Clemson on Monday arteruoon, carrying witli him the K<iod wishes of a host of friends who have every confidence in his abllliy to fill the Important position which he holds in the chief educational institution of the State. T. W, COOGLER IN TROUBLE, rite Q., C. A S. Ntnllon Aicent and the | nxfircNM AKrui m itum mn nmin : lii IIIm Account*. Mr. Thos. W. Coogler, formerly of this village, but for several years depot and express agent at Cross Hill In la trouble. His accounts Lave recently been lound to be short. The total shortage is estimated at 31,650?81,200 of which Is to the Express Company, and the balance to the Railway Company for whom he has been ajtent for several years. fie was arrested one day last w?Fk. His mother came over to aswlst In securing bail. Her son In-law, Mr. John A. Harris, of this village, consented to go on hts hull bond with two others at Rock Hill did the same. , This is done In the hope that Mr. Coogler may oe nble to settle up the matter before It stiall go Into the courts. Mr. Coogler has been all bis life connected with the railroad and telegraph business, and was known to all our people. For many years he was in the depot ol the Columbia and Greenville Railroad. Mr. Coogler Is the son of the late Thomas W. Coogler, who was for so many years conductor on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and who for the last years of his life made Abbeville bis home. He died nearly twenty years ago, leaving his widow the home now occupied by Mrs. Lucy Thomson, and an Insurance policy for several thousand dollars. Through misfortune or other cause the estate has decreased ui til now Mrs. Coogler herself Is able to give hereon but little aid in this hour of his trouble,and It is understood or believed that he Is but little ahead In this world's goods. It is said that the shortage In bis accounts covers a period of a year or more. On receiving the appointment as agent for ik? u>nr/?u iummnv and for the rnllroud. some of the Northern assurance companies went on his bond. His friends In Abbeville thought so well of his integrity at the time, and such good reports of him were sent In that the company felt warranted In taking the risk. About three years ago Mr. Coogler married Miss Bailie Scott, ol Abbeville. She was a most excellent young lady. Many friends sympathize with her In her deep sorrow over the trouble that has come over her husband. REMEMBER THE POOR. Contribute Noinetlilnfr to Nuke the I'nlortuiiHtfN Happy.
