The experiment of extending the privileges of the Greensboro public, library to all the white citizens of Guilford county, as the result of an agreement between the city and county authorities, is the subject of favorable comment on the part of many people throughout the state The county is to pay $1,250 to the support of the library for a year this being half the amount of the an nual appropriation by the city of Greensboro. The following information con cerning the library, the regulations, etc., is furnished by the librarian: In addition to loans made directly from the library in Greensboro, six sub-stations will be established in the county for neighborhood circula tion. Fifty books will be sent free to each of these points to be ex changed every month, unless a long er period is desired by the people of the section. Individual borrowers can have books mailed to any point in the county at their expense by par eel post. The rules governing all loans made directly from the library pro vide that any books loaned may be kept two weeks, with privilege of re newal. The renewal may be made by postal card or telephone. All bbr rowers under eighteen who obtain loans direct from the library must have the signature of either parent or guardian on their application cards. The library is open every week day except the inventory day of August and three holidays, July 4, Christmas and Thanksgiving days. Its hours are 9 A. M. to 9 P. M., ex cept for June, July and August, when it is closed at 7 P. M. County extension work by public libraries has met with much success in the North and West, and the state library commission in Raleigh is already doing a splendid work in sending out package and debate li braries to rural sections of North Carolina just as far as the present state appropriation will permit. Durham county gives $400 each year for library circulation in the county. Mecklenburg for some years gave $300 annually, but has with drawn this amount. Guilford is the first county to provide for circulation by sub-stations as well as from the central library. So that this year's work will really be an experiment in this state. It is not a new thing for this coun ty to lead in good works, and the trustees urge that the people visit the library and examine its re sources for themselves, feeling sure that they will be both surprised and gratified at the growth of so young an institution. Opened in 1902, with less than 2,- 000 books, it now owns 12,250. It is housed in a Carnegie building provided through the generosity of the great philanthropist in 1906. Its circulation for last year was 31,904, which does not include its daily ref erence service given to students in the library rooms. Built up from such a small begin ning, it is an investment of the city which has brought daily returns in the pleasure and information of the people, and now that the increase of its volumes will warrant an exten sion of service to the county, the commissioners have made this cir culation possible for one year by paying $1,250 to the library support for this period. Such a forward step for Guilford must be a matter of profound con cern to all who love her people. It is full of promise for study, recrea tion and practical aid in daily work. The co-operation of the whole county is earnestly asked that every home may enjoy this blessing of free books. Fourteen People Drowned. Austin, Texas, April 23. Four teen persons are known to have been drowned in the flood which swept down Shoal and Waller creeks, on the autskirts of Austin, during last night's rainstorm, washing away more than 200 dwelling houses. Eleven other persons, not accounted for, are believed to have lost their lives. The property damage is esti mated at $500,000. Ten inches of rain fell within two hours last night, the creeks rising rapidly and overflowing their banks before residents of the lowlands could be warned. Twenty bridges were washed away.

HOW TBtB "TMllWURY' HAS LFED THE - SOUTH. W. P. G. Harding, of the federal reserve board, hasjtnade public a let ter he has written -to J. L: Hughes, of the Southern Club of Chicago, in answer to an Inquiry of the secre tary o the treasury as to what the- Wilson administration did for the South last fall when it was in dis tress over the cotton situation. , t Mr. Harding wrote tdMMr. Hughes that Secretary McAdoo," among other things, had called a conference of those interested in transportation last August, recommended a bureau of war risk insurance, worked for a government-owned merchant marine and looked with favor upon the-establishment of a cash fund of $100, 000,000 to be subscribed by' banks throughout the non-cotton producing states, out of which loans should be made on cotton on the basis of six cents a pound. "Under the conditions that pre vailed last. fall," said Mr. Harding, "the creation of a fund of . this mag nitude to be loaned upon a commod ity which was then regarded as un marketable, was a tremendous un dertaking, but Secretary McAdoo de voted all of his energy and ability to the task. In the face of enormous odds, he was successful, and as soon as it became evident that he would succeed in raising the fund, a de mand for cotton, at prices slightly above the loan values fixed, sprang up, and this demand has continued without intermission, so that the best grades are now selling in the South at around 10 cents a pound, a price which, in the opinion of ex perts, is as great as would have ob tained had there been no war. While the benefit of the cotton loan fund was, therefore, confined to its moral effect it was unquestionably a great 'factor in restoring confidence and in initiating a movement of cotton which has developed beyond all ex pectations. "Having lived in the South all my life, and having been engaged in the banking business 2 8 years before coming to Washington last summer, I . feel warranted in saying that I have never seen a situation in the South apparently so desperate as that which existed last fall that was worked out as rapidly and as satis factorily, and I wish to say never be fore within my recollection has a secretary of the treasury devoted as much time and energy to the solu tion of Southern problems, nor shown such knoweldge of and sym pathetic interest in the necessities of that section. The relief afforded the South by Secretary McAdoo was intelligent and effective, and his spirit of helpfulness was restrained only t by the limitations of law and the obligations of his oath of office. The deeds and motives of the admin istration will be more and more ap preciated in the South with the pass ing of time." Rothschild and Rockefeller Fortunes That there are no estates in Eng land of the value of the largest es tates in the United States is again demonstrated by the provisional es timate, $62,500,000 sworn to in London, as to the value of the estate of the late Baron Rothschild. This was the fourth largest estate in England, exceeded only by the es tate of the duke of Westminster, Sir Ernest Cassel and Lord Ivor. But the real estate income of the duke of Westminster is less than the se curities income of Sir Ernest Cassel, and also less than the income of Lord Ivor from the Guinness brew ery. When Barney Barnato, the South African gold and diamond king, had speculative securities valued at about $400,000,000 he committed suicide when his estate Rhrant t MrA.AU. $15,000,000 there was only one comparison that could be made. He was declared -o be richer than the London Rothschilds. While Baron Nathan Mayer Roths child was probably the richest Roths child, the wealth of the family, in cluding the continental branches probably passes the billion-dollar mark. Nevertheless, it is surprising to find that th w . -v i 11 CO L Rothschild is less than the real es tate inheritance of Vincent Astor; far below the wealth of Andrew Car negie; only a fraction of the wealth of John D. Rockefeller, and less than several estates in America that could' be named, all of which,' save the Astor estate, was accumulated in the lifetime of the present owner. Make Good Work Possible. You cannot do good work while your bowels are sluggish or your liv er torpid. Wm. O. E. Bielke,Mgr.

They do away with that drowsy, dull, tired feeling and are wholesome, cleansing and healthful. Most satisfactory for stout persons. Conyers & Sjrkes, aIt. L a mJCTJQMTBir LKES AND IMPBOVING DAILY. Newspaper men from all sections ot the United States who : are , in NewYork attending the annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association report a de cided" Improvement in business con ditions. ? As newspaper men are in close touch with local 'trade, the results of their observations pointed to the unanimous conclusion that -business was infinitely better and was im proving daily. Their opinion came as an answer to the question asked recently by so many persons, "Is there a sound reason in the coun try's present state of prosperity for the high level of prices on the ex changes?" i From visitors living on the Pacific , coast the impression was received that, quite apart from the stimulus given to business in that region by the two expositions, there' was a real quickening in trade and indus try. The farming and stock-raising section of the middle West is exper iencing, it seems, a business revival. The Great Lakes territory, particu larly Michigan, as reflected by the newspaper men, is actually begin ning to boom. The steel industry, admittedly a barometer of trade, according to a publisher from Pittsburgh, is work ing in that district on a 92 per cent basis and bringing such prosperity as has not been seen there in years. Even from the cotton states, which suffered most from the abnormal state of affairs created by the war, delegates to the convention brought confident predictions of better busi ness. Lower costs in producing the next cotton crop and the beneficial diversification, prompted by the war's effect upon the cotton indus try, were the, chief factors working, it was said, for prosperity in these agricultural states.
