: We areln the midst' of a sordid
and material era. Money is the
main thing; it islhe hard cash
that counts. The. risings genera
tion seems to be hopelessly out
of tune with the teachings of the
New Testament : and it is
said in some oHhe more4 thought
ful periodicals that prosperity is
to be looked for where there is ma
terial prosperity, and the person
who asserts to the contrarv has
the bible knocked out of his hands
by a misinterpretation of Brftler's
Anology. So let it be for1 the
present. ' V
In spite of the attractions of
the greed for gain, it mav be said
tha the people of the South are
reading more books than eVer be
fore, and erery book read, wheth
r er it be good, xr indifferently bad,
,it is a victory ore'r the financial
pomp of the age. There was a
time When the prosperous class in
mis-section were the greatest read
ers,-and be'fore the war some of
I the best and completefet private
libraries were to be found in the
homes' of tiie'planters.
But war is a great disturber of
taste as well as a-destroyer of for
.tunes. tony of these private li
braries rent up in smoke 'from
nrek .kindled by General Tecum
sch'Sherman and most of the th.
erswere dispersed; and for a time
goodmany years in fact the
Southern people have not been
noted as-great' readers or, to put
me matter m a different and tru

greedy buyers of books.

There is a greater demand for

Both sides have lined nr fnr

The Pendleton law now on the
statue books gives local option to
