I;;? these mid-summer days i cool places are so much sought 1 .o much t?njoy-d, the Carnegie rary building is almost eqqual to a : rt hi the city. The library Is open i the public from 10 a. m. until 8 p. i i. and there Is not an hour, during this time that gome cool place Is not available in the bulldin;. Scores of persons seek the relief from heat a forded here each s week, and while availing . themselves of the physical comrori, mey regaie tn mina as weii. At the present time the library pos sesses about C.OOO volumes, and more than 4,300 persona hold cards entitl ing them to library privileges. ; The rules of the library proviJe that any resident of Charlotte Is entitled to membership in the library and the consequent use of tha books, by sign ing the proper application and agree ment i'The applications of children under fourteen years of age must be bigned by parent or guardian. . Requests for lists of new books are frequently made by . library readers, and "to at least in part grant this re quest lists of the new books are pub- , lished Jrom time to- time 1 nthe news papers, and are also placed on the. li brary bulletin Toards. Because of limited funds the library has never - been able to carry out a long cher ished plan to publish each month a : bulletin for circulation which shall contain a complete ., list of all new books added during the month, each title to be accompanied by a descrip tive note as to the scope and contents of the book. - . - Brief , lists of books and magazine articles, chiefly on subjects of current Interest are included under the head of, "Reference Lists." These are being added to continually and reaJers are Invited to suggest topics of general interest on which they would like to have references prepared. Long before the art of printing on paper was known, books were written on various materials. In the British Museum -copies of the Bible written on leaves of the fan palm are to be found to-day. There are also works of literature preserved that are writ ten on oyster shells, flat bones, bricks, tiles, tvory, lead, copper, and iron. There is a great increase, as sta tistics show, In the number of books accessible to th? people, but a careful eto.ly of conditions shows that many millions of people have no accession to books. The public library Is doing a large part in meeting this great need, and in just so far as it Is rec ognized and used is it doing the great part In the educational scheme of the world of which It is capable, THE MYEKS TRIAL OX.

This refers to the damage wrought upon his land out on the tbelt road by a sewer line ' so built by the city that it has over flowed upon his meudow land. The sewer empties into Town creek, which runs through his land. The line was .finished In the spring of 1805. Mr. . '. Myers claims that the sewer was n it constructed right and that parts which " should be under ground are above. . Burweil & Cansler represent the plain tiff, while former City Atorney Hugh W, Harris and City Attorney John A. lJ4cRae are defending Charlotte. About the only unusual incident of the diy was the lining of Juror By rum 130 for not answering to his name when the roll was calded. He came In later, however, and this was remit- ted.
