For a Schol Library.
j Realizing that it'is as much the
! duty of the school to teach what
' to read, as to teach how to rend,
the'teachers of the Graded School
have decided to establish a school
library.
They have not enough funds on j
hand; so have appointed Misses
Ethel Pegram, Frances Thornwell. j
I Mary Harris, Carrie Culp, Dora
j Grisr. Ruby Heaglaud, Waiiet t?
; Gordon, Lena \Vhitesoll and Edna
| Ferguson to solicit subscriptions
1 in behalf of the library donations
of money, books or magazines, all
of whioh will be thankfully received
by them or auy of the
teachers.
If it is our duty to see that the )
children are trained to read, it is
certainly no less our duty^to see
that they are trained to do the
right kintl of reading; otherwise
the ability to read may prove;
harmful rather than helpful.
If the work of training to do the '
right kind of reading tuny be fa- ,
| cilitated by a good school library, j
let everyone giy? something to the j
young ladies and the success of
enterprise will bejnssuied,
Bennetts Lose Damage Suit.
A case which was before the I
civil court of Mecklenburg county ,
during the past week, aud one in j
which the peoplo of this township '
were much interested, was that of
J. A. McRae, administrator, vs. |
the 4C's Company of Charlotte for .
$20,000 damages. The case grew i
out of the killing of R. Simon
Bennett by an electric car of tho !
defendant company last August.
The case was taken up Thurs- j
day and occupied the court until
late Friday afternoon when n ver- I
diet was rendered favoring the !
4C's. Messrs. E. T. Oaneler and
Tlios. Ruth 11 represented the 4C's
Company, while Mr. C. D. 13c enn^et
argued the case for the Bennetts.
The circumstances nttending the
killing of Mr. R. S. Bennett by j
Charlotte street car are familiar to
the people of this section. Mr. j
