THE CITY LiUKAKY.
With shame we confess the fact
that little lias been said recently in
the editorial column of the Advertiser
relative to the city library. No reason,
except the vast number of things we
have had under consideration) can be
assigned for this neglect. But wo
hope none will question our attitude
on the subject.
If tie re is one thing thai a town
should have it is a library. We had
a dispensary once, a positive wrong;
Lau re us has practically no library, n
negative wrong. This is in nowiso u
disparagement of the noble efforts
of n few good women; it is a rebuke
to the vast number of people who are
Utterly uninterested in the matter.
Just a few mote such members as
those who now comprise the Library
association, and 1.aureus would have
an institution worthy of herself. All
honor to those who have maintained
the city library. Shame on those who
care nothing for it.
Is it necessary for a newspaper In
a city the size of I.aureus to take up
space urging people to read good hooks
and good papers? Do the parents of
these hoys who are continually and
habitually loafing the streets, need
instructions along lines which they
should know perfectly? Are these
good fathers and mothers aware of
the fact that their hoys are devour
ing Messe .lames." "Frank Merriwell"
"Nick Carter" and BUCh like; and arc
acquiring the vulgar knowledge of the
streets? Do these parents, themselves,
read good literature, thereby setting
u proper example? We cannot hut
believe that they are fulfilling their
divinely-imposed obligation?ill a large
degree at least. In fact, we know
they realize their obligation; but, are
their taking advantage of all their
opportunities, both to provide for the
young people and for their own
benefit? No. Why? becnuso they
have not provided all adequate library.
It lakes time for everything, we
know. lint sometimes we take too
loiiu:. especially in educational enter
prises. I .a n re us needs a well equipp
ed library and needs it now. Let
<?.!< a Individual realize his or her obli
gation In the matter, and success i.^
assured. And by way b? parenthesis
we remark that Hie ciiy should do
what i; promised and keep the small
appropriation paid up. We should
bo glad to heor seme expressions on
this subject, which by all menus,
should he agitated. Latircns needs a
library; Ii can ill afford to be without.
TO Ol'? < lilTK'S,
Both the Columbia State and the
SpUrttinbtir; Journal have taken (is
to task, and In just as few words as
possible WO shall endeavor to explain
our position on these two matters.
The spar*, an burg Journal objects to
the sentence, "You can't keep a good
man down" hi reforonco to Mr. .las.
a. [toyi (.f Columbia whom wo were
complimenting and wishing well In
his new enterprise; namely, tho j>ro?
p ?.se<1 afternoon paper for Columbl,
The Journal says that any man hold
ing the position of Columbia corros*
pendent Of the News and Courier is
by no means "down", In reply we
beg 10 say that "down" is a relative
term; no matter how responsible the
position now held by Mr. Iloyt, If he
Steps iii> a idt. his former position is
necessarily down" as compared to
his promotion.
Our Columbia contemporary has
just grounds for taking as up on the
word "fakirs" when applied to certain
> senators who have criticized the dlB
pensary winding-up Commission for
needless expenditure of the states
funds. By all means the word should
have been "fakers", and we plead the
usual "typographical error" And
yet, this is where our critic itself falls
into error, saying that WO could not
have meant the word "fakir" and that
"fjiker" was "one who may he a pick
pocket, or a dealer in fakes". These
two definitions do not cover the mean
ing in which The Advertiser used it
the definition which Tho State rails
to mention: one who dccolvos. That
was our Idea exactly that those sen
ators, either know nothing of economy
or they wero rudenvoring to deceive
their constituents by their criticism
of the commission.
since turn about is fair play we
should like to enquire of The State
where under the sun it gets authority
for using Hi" word "plum" In the line
"Lleil Law Plum Dead." There is a
word spelled plumb which means "en
tirely, wholly" etc. whic h may well he
used to tit the occasion referred to.
hut we pave always thought of "plum"
as something sweet and juicy, such as
a tine political appointment?-under
Taft or Bryan, it matters not which.
And again, we ask: what kind of a
Mason is a "Monster Mason"? The
State says that the "Preshlent-Klect
Is Made a Monster Mason." "Also,
what is a "Keduceduty"
All of which goes to show that this
writer is a very close reader of the
Columbia Slate and thoroughly enjoys
every hit of it: whether or not this
is damaging evidence we leave for
other critics to decide. As for us we
respectfully refer the misdoings of
The Slat.> and the Spartanhurg Jour
nal to tiie tender mercies of the Char
lotte Observer and the Norfolk Laud
mn rk.
