C, THURSDAY, AUG. 17, 1922 ALL THE LOCAL NEWS NJ ML PUBLIC LIBRARY FREE TO ALL 10 WILL READ BOOKS The historian, Hill, tells us that in 1700 Rov. Thos. Bray of the Church of England sent to Carolina a minis ter, by name, Daniel Brett. By Mr. Brett was sent a library for public use. After some wandorings, this col lection of 'books finally settled in Bath, which town boasts of the .firs: public library in our state. Benjamin Franklin believed that the hope of a republic is in an intelli gent citizenship to such an extent that our expedient and far-reaching postal system was the result. The time was when books vjere a precious heritage willed from father to son among heirlooms and other valuables. Scholars were they who wrote the Declaration of IrrJ ipei.d ence and the Constitution incorporatr ing in the latter a provision for edu cation. It was their wish, no dWbt, that the intellectual life of each sue feeding generation should noc be im poverished. Thruout North Carolina therj few an awakening to the need -o more and better reading and an ap preciable effort is beinj made it bring literature and the printed pas to bear upon the masses. Washing ton, Edenton, Rocky Mount. Farai- vjlle, and other cities, mora remote . have recently organized public 'libra ries, which are sustained by munici pal or county aid, or by both. Nor has Tarboro been beh'nl ir catching the fever. Two years ago last July, the Edgecombe Public Li brary was opened to the public. The movement was launched aii-I the 1 brary sustained for two yean-by ile efforts of fifteen people, who believed that books and book lore would si lently but surely plead their own cause. The town was tanvawil for contributions and enough subscrip tion members secured to mak? an oi ganization possible. The Firs-t Na tional Bank of Tarboro cam?, to the rescue by offering free quarter-?, beat and light and janitor service, for which help library patrons will ever be grateful. During the two years, something like 7,000 books have been read and 1500 volumes have been collected by purchase or gift, many people pnd several organizations hav ing lent a helping hand. Thus the li brary has spoken for itself. At the last meeting of the Town Commissioners an appropriation of $600 was made and the library is now free to all on like basis, whether they be subscription members or not. The president of the organization, Mrs. W. D. Leggett, extends to all, young and old, the habitual and the casual reader, an invitation to visit the library, look over the shelves and get a book. The librarian, Mrs. R. M. j Davis, ia on duty from 9:30 to 11:30 each morning and books may be se cured or returned during these hours, Until the library. isf ormally turn ed over to the town, which will be about Oct. 1, the present manage ment will continue, the only change being that the books are loaned free to all on lil terms, these being good care, promp; returns, or renewals. The library commitrse is jubilant over the fact that the library has won recognition from our city fathers and they believe the present library is only the nucleus of a- bigger and mom far-reaching institution yet to follow. Last month 300 books were read; next month the number should grow by leaps and bounds. The library is for the town. Townsmen, use it!

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. "En tertaining royal exiles is an incident in the annals of St. Helena and Ma deira; it is beginning to be an indus try in the Seychelles Islands, where Zashlout Pasha is detained while cer tain factions in Egypt are agitating for his return," says a bulletin from the National Geopraghie Society. "First the dethroued king of Ash emti was sent there and later the monarehs of Uganda and Unyoro were domiciled there for joining the forces with mutinous troops in the Sudan. "Besides exiles, the Seychelles are noteworthy for coral and coconuts. Approaching vessels steam thru cor al reefs to approach Port Victoria, chief town of the group on the main island, Mahe. And the town itself lies glistening in thc sun like a city of marble, for coral rocks are used in building the neat, compact houses. Coconut products form the prin cipal, .commodity cif -export, but the coconut which made the island fam ous is the coco-de-mer, which weighs 40 pounds or so, 'requires 7 years to rinen, and grows on trees that take . 35 years to bear leaves. This 'coco nut of the sea' was known before the islands were discovered, because the great double coconuts -were cast up by the waves upun the shores of East Africa. They were believed to be of I submarine origin and the native m ed-J icine men made much of them. J "The Seychelles are the island gem of the Ii'diau Ocean; an early British resident nicknamed them an Ocean Garden of Eden, There are thirty or more of them, depending upon whe ther one care's to enumerate as. isl ands numerous small, reefa and rock. With their dependencies, the Amiran tos and many others, their adminis trative area comprises nearly 100' small islands." VISITING STUDENTS FfliMRICIk HRE GIVEN A WELCOME COPENHAGEN, Aug. 17.

"Priests and soldier sreceive orders and must obey them," were the words of the Pope in deciding the question who should become papal internuncio at the Ha gue. "You will be the right man in the 'right, place." . Monsignor Orseni- go bowed, and the matter was then closed. The monsignor had hesitated for conscientious reasons, not consider ing himself fitted to deal with the responsibilities of the position. But the Pontiff thought otherwise, and thus disposed of a problem which for some time had caused speculation in Vatican t-ircles. Monsignor Orsenigo's life, for the pest 25 years has been devoted to works of charity. To be torn from the paths he had chosen for himself made him hold back; he was per plexed by the possible difficulties of a diplomatic post which has acquired special importance in view of the Russian conference recently held at the Hague. Usually the representatives abroad of the Holy See are chosen from the CUBA CONTROLLED BYTHE FOREIGNERS HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 17. Eco nomic readjustment of governmental services resulting from the inaugu ration July 1 of the 1922-1923 bud get of approximately $55,000,000, and causing the dismissal of thous and of federal.' employes, struck -a heavy blow at the only remaining stronghold left to Cuban citizens the government service.

With Spaniards cluing almost 100 percent of the retail business of the island and foreign interest dominat ing importing anu wnoiesaung opera- ions, Cubans have been forced into minor positions in every line excepi aw, medicine ana oinciai posts, t which Cuban citizens alone are now ligible. CAMPBELLS VILLE, KY., Aug 14 Congressman J. Campbell Cantrill. in an address to a large crowd of farmer and tobacco growers of Taylor and adjoining counties Saturday, de clared that "something is wrong wheti CO per cent of the farmers of the United States live on mortgaged farms," expressed the opinion that agricultural conditions in the United States in the past few years were due to a defective system of market ing and declared that the only rem edy for these conditions lies in co operative marketing of farm product. "Here in Kentucky," said Mr. Can trill, "we grow half the tobacco pre dueed in the United States. Our cli mate and soil are ideal for tobacco production. Our tobacco growers are experts in that work, but they have been receiving less than it cost them to grow their tobacco because with all their expert knowledge of tobaoco growing, they knaw nothing ef mar keting." Mr. Cantrill said the Burley To bacco Growers' Cooperative Associa tion had adopted the method of the 'great manufacturing corporations and that it now is selling the grow ers' product just as these big manu facturing concerns are selling theirs. In the old days, he said, before the successful organization of the growers into a compact body, there was practically one buyer of tobacco while there were 60,000 to 75,000 sellers. Naturally, he said, the to bacco of all the farmers was in com petition with that of all other farm ers, Uh llie - Inevitable rosultt'thak.i prices, except during the years of the world war or at other extraordinary times, barely returned the cost of production and in some years, as in 11)20, for instance, failed to realize cost of production.

They are later prometed until they reach the rank of Papal Nuncio. The Pope had met Monsignor Orsenigo in Milan, where he had collaborated with him in a church paper called "The St. Charles Borromeo."
