A FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY,
Mr. Walter I.. 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.

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.

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

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.
