Traveling a la horse or mule, librarians in those mountains "tote" books to the mountain people in the hope of raising them from illiterate ranks to a better educated people. Headquarters at Paintsville are in charge of Miss May Stafford, who she said is eager to get books, magazines any kind of reading material in fact.

Paintsville, in Johnson county, borders one of the wildest, most remote sections of the state, and librarians follow trails into the backwoods to give their mountaineer friends at least a few opportunities in life. The library has grown to 5,000 boooks: Miss Staf Stafford, are mountain girls who know their own people and understand what they want." Mrs. Parke found the mountain people most interesting and said that nothing printed about them is exaggerated. She was in Kentucky during the recent political campaigns, saw feuds end in gunplay and watched political faction members draw their guns on each other. It was exciting, somewhat frightening, too, she admitted.

But she wants to go back, to accompany librarians into the mountains and to get in close touch with a race of people who have been called the backbone of America. Local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Elks' rest, Second avenue south, it was announced yesterday.

County commissioners, in special session yesterday, voted to amend the recent resolution relative to the voting machine ballot and place the estimated cost of the machines at $90,000 to $100,000 instead of $125,000 as" first estimated. John C. Blocker, attorney for the board, said it had been determined that not more than 85 machines would be needed for the 71 precincts of the county. Some precincts may require two machines and there must be some machines in reserve to take care of replacements should one break down on election day. There will be two ballots In connection with the vote on the automatic machines.

One ballot which will go into a separate box will be for property owners only. The other ballot will be available to all voters, regardless of property ownership. The commissioners have announced that since there is a financial obligation involved, they cannot purchase the machines unless they are approved by property owners or nimlifieri vntprc tn nartlrinoto In the election.

Plan Service Charge GROUP WILL PLAN AIR TRAVEL WEEK was no gasoline available nearer than Clearwater, so Robinson used to order the gas in large drums, one at a time, direct from a refining company. At first the drums were placed on supports in a vacant lot adjoining the store, and later a small tank and hand pump were set up for the dispensing of gasoline. In the early days there were no electric lights available, but gas lights furnished by power pumped from a tank outside the Robinson establishment lighted the store and entrance porch quite brilliantly, making it a favorite gathering place for the men of the village on pleasant evenings.

The loan will be financed rough a service charge for perns having use of the sewers. charge will be made against uses not on the sewer line, ie charge will start at 50 cents month for houses of five rooms go up to $1 a month for uses of 8 to 10 rooms.

The veteran businessman last week disposed of his business to Inman Warnock and prepared to take over supervision of his grove, east of town. Just to keep his hand in he will devote part of his time to his insurance business. Yesterday Robinson recalled some of the interesting experiences since he began operations as a merchant in the early 1900's. At that time there were no good roads, so he went on foot from house to house, taking orders for groceries which he later delivered in a hand cart. Later he acquired a pony and wagon and made up a harness obtained from his neighbors.

Robinson handled the first ice in Ozona. At that time it was shipped in large blocks from St. Petersburg by train, hauled by wagon to the store, where it was retailed, often being delivered with grocery orders. He also handled the first commercial butter, shipped by boat or train from St. Petersburg or Tampa, and the first sliced bacon.

EMERSON: "That's good news. I guess that winds up the sale now." MATHER: "Winds up the sale? H-l, no! That's what I'm calling you for. We need money now worse than we ever did before.

I want you to advertise in your paper, the Bradenton, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Winter Haven Mather Stores for sale." EMERSON: "Do you mean that?" MATHER: "Of course I mean it. Raising that $25,200.00 to pay Comptroller Lee has definitely made the Mather stores hard up. We've got to pay the rent man we have been stalling for the past sixty days. Your newspapers want the money for the advertising they have been running.

Your employes deserve their salaries that you held up. Our creditors threaten to cut us off unless we can make substantial payments on our accounts. Our checks are still bouncing at the bank. Tell this to your public, in your next ad." EMERSON: "You mean you want me to advertise all these facts in the newspaper? Do you think that is good business? Do you think that is ethical?" MATHER: "Ethical? Will your bank use ethics for money? Will your employes fake it in place of salary? Will your newspapers give you advertising space for it? No! No! No! You know they won't. What we need and want now Is money, the long green, and if you ever put on a sale in St.

Petersburg to raise money now is the time to do it." EMERSON: "Do you want me to sell merchandise at lower prices than I did during the $25,200.00 Tax Raising Sale?" MATHER: "If necessary, I do. Honest, Henry, I really have to have some lack and yours is one of the stores that should be able to raise it. Down here in the small towns in Florida, in the middle of summer, it is Impossible to run a sale. The buyers are not here, but in St. Petersburg with your well selected stock of high grade Grand Rapids and North Carolina merchandise at the ridiculous prices you have if marked, you should be able to turn a lot of these goods into money." EMERSON: "Okeh.

I am going to shoot the works. You know we accepted a lot of ridiculous offers for merchandise, which you criticized because of the low price. If you think those offers that we accepted were too low, watch for what's coming because I am going to advertise in the paper exactly what we are up against and if anybody in the city of St. Petersburg wants any furniture and can pay cash for it, or wants to buy it on time, they are going to get it at practically their own price. I would rather have the furniture in their homes and get a good payment on it each month than to have it sitting on our floors MATHER: "Go as far as you like, but I don't want a weather report in thirty days that you have done no business."
