FOR CHEAPER BOOKS
Movement Started, Denned to Cheapen
Public School Books.
LEGISLATURE MAY ACT ON IT
Suggestion That All Textbooks in the State
Schools Should Be Alike
and Printed Here.
There is a plan on foot by which
the school children of Georgia and all
the southern states may be enabled
to purchase school textbooks at a rate
much lower than that which they pay
at present.
The plan has not yet fully matured
but those who are at the head of it
are working quietly and with promise
of success. As a result of the surges
tionabill will likely be introduced
at ’’the next session of the legislature
asking that a committee be appointed
to have the right to name the books
■to be used by all schools iu this state.
It may be that the bill will provide
that the power will be vested in the
board «.f education instead of creating
a committee.
The plan now proposed is to have
all the schools in the state of Georgia
use the same textbooks. It will be
impossible, of -course, to compel the
private schools of the state to use the
books to be named by the board of
education, but the board will have
the power to compel all the public
schools of the state to use the booksit
names, provided the bill is passed.
It is claimed by those who are at
the head of the movement that all
Che schoolbooks used throughout the,
south are published by northern
houses and the fact that they have
to be shipped here makes the books
costly.
It is proposed that a contract be
made with some reliable printing
house in Atlanta to publish the text
books for this state for a certain period
of time. In order to get some print
ing plant to enter into such a contract
it would be necessary to guarantee it
the sale of the books for certain length
of time.
The contract to be made with the
printing plant, if the plan goes
through, will be so arranged that the
books will be sold at a price lower
than the books are now bought for.
This will be a great help to the people
of the state and will enable many
children to attend school who do not
now do so because their parents can
not afford to buy the necessary books.
it is intended that the textbooks to be
indicated by the board of education, or
the committee appointed for that pur
pose, shall choose books written by
southerners.
It is believed that if such a plan as
the one proposed is carried out it will
do a vast amount of good throughout
the state. A large number of persons are
interested in the matter and it is possi
ble that the state board of education
will favor the entire scheme.
After the plan has been working in
this state for some -time it is intended
that is shall be introduced in other
southern states and the same house that
supplies the schools of this state will
receive contr o s from other t ite-s. The
plan will sive the people cheap school
books and do no little.toward advancing
the school interests of the state.

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my food
or handle myself in
an y way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re
me 80 that 1
soon able to move
n, y r ’g* lt arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and
when I had finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now weigh 170.”
A Real Blood Remedy,
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have: a blood disease, take a blood medi
cine—S.S.S. (guaiaittecdpurely vegeta
tattle) is exclusively for the blood and
is recommended for nothing else. I!

now building a plant to include a
marble saw mill and finishing shops.

The Ideal Panacea.
James L. Francis, Aiderman, Ch}
cago, says: “I regard Dr. King’s New
Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for
Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints,
having used it in my family for the
last five years, to the exclusion of phy
sician’s prescriptions or other prepara
tions.”
Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa,
writes: “I have been a Minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church for 50
years or more, and have never found
anything so beneficial or that gave me
such speedy relief as Dr. King’s New
Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough
Remedy now. Trial Bottles Free at

*ln Search of Hsppinfea*’ Robert Downing’s
New Play.
Mr. Robert Downing’s new play, ‘‘ln
Searcn of Happiness,” is calculated to
elevate the American stage. Mr. Down
ing is now looked upon as the sole rep
resentative of what may be termed the
legitimate drama and the popular suc
cessor of the late John McCullough, for
whom, by the way, *’ln Search of Hap
piness” was originally written. But
the untimely death of the factor, which
occurred a few months after tie com
pletion of the play, prevented its pro
duction. We quote Mr. Downing in
stating that he considers ,l ln Search of
Happiness” the strongest play that has
ever been produced upon any stage for
many a year. Strong as the faith of
of Mr. Downing may appear, he is sus
tained in his opinion by the declaration
of poet Longfellow, to whom the lata
John McCullough read the play. The
distinguishd American poet foretold a
most brilliant success for it, and undy
ing reputation for the man producing it.
Mr Robert Downing has spared no ex
pense in scenery and costumes, and we
are promised an artistic and attractive
production of “In Search of Happiness. ”

- The Iron Market.
Tne pig iron market during the past
we r k has not been quite so active as for
the previous two or three weeks. While
prices have maintained firmly, sales have
been somewhat smaller and inquiries
not so large. This is regarded as tempo -
rary, the result of the approach of the
election. Iron men believe that trade
will remain about as it is until political
conditions are settled, but that immedi
ately after the election there will be a
decided turn one way or the other, de
pendent to a large degree upon the result
of the election. Were it not for politics
there is no doubt but that the iron mar
ket would be decidedly bullish. How
ever, the market stands firm, and sales
are far more active even with the politi
cal uncertainties that prevail, than they
were during the summer months. Prices
are 50 cents per ton on all grades high
er now than then. Sales are chiefly No.
1 foundry at this time.
The coal trade continues active, be
coming more so as the winter season
approaches. The mines are kept busy,
and there is no complaint of a scarcity
of work.
• There has been no reduction during
the past week, either in the coal or iron
output The latter is about 2,800 tons
per day.
The cure of rheumatism has often
taxed medical skill, but its prevention
has been very easy by an occ s onal
use of Simmons Liver Regulat< r It
keeps the liver well regulated, ai d
the system free from poison. Therein
is the secret of health “1 have used
it forjyears for Indigestion and Con
stipation, and also found it gives one
relief from a touch of rheumatism.”—

A Welcome Complaint.
The fat man was going around the
lake in Druid Hill Park, to beat the
orchestra. He was bent over the
handle bars in an attitude peculiar to
the hands of a clock at 6:15. Little
rivuleis coursed down his >oly poly
face.
“Hi. there!’’ yelled a bicycle police
man sharply, “j ou’re going rnoie than
eight miles an hour.”
The fat man looked aghast and
tumbled lif his wheel in astonish
ment.

were not on duty, I’d ask you to take
a drink. You’ve paid me the greatest

SALE OF TELEGRAPH
Major J F Hans >n aid Friends Nov
Owj the Paper
WILL Bi N) CHANGE OF POLICY
Mr. Henry C. Hao.on I, Buelnrae Manag r
■nd Bditor Alien I. HtUl in
Edicorlnl Charge.
Major J. F.,Hansou and a party of
his friends are now the owners of the
Macon Telegraph.
The purchase was* made romu weeks
ago, though the general belief is th. t
the paper was bought only within the
last day or two. No publicity hns here
tofore been given to the timister, and It
now becomes known from the fact that
Mr. Henry C. Hanson, a brother of Mn
jor Hanson, has taken charge of the
Telegraph as business manager. Mr
Henry Hanson was business of the Tel
egraph when * Major Hanson was its
proprietor a number of years ago.
Since it has become known that
Major Hanson is in control of the Tel
egraph, the city has been filled with
rumors to the effect that the paper
will advocate republicanism.
The News is authorized to state that
the Telegraph will neither now nor
hereafter declare for republicanism-
In-as-mucb as the Telegraph has
been under the ownership of Major
Hanson and his friends several weeks,
perhaps months, and has not during
that time declared for republicanism,
it is not reasonable to suppose that on
the eve of the election, it will espouse
the cause of McKinley, as it is not to
be presumed that any good can be ac
complished at this late hour for his
presidential candidacy.
The News has been assured that the
parties who are interested with Major
Hansou in the ownership of the Tele
graph are not politicians and have not
purchased the paper for political pur
poses, but have bought it as a business
investment and will run it on business
principles.
Editor A. A. Allen, the late proprietor
of the Telegraph, is still directing its
editorial policy, and so far as present
purposes go, will continue with the paper.
It has not been determined that any of
the employers of the paper shall be re
moved. The Telegraph, however, will
be improved in its various departments
and additions made to the editorial force.
The. e has been no change in the old
board of directors, and the company has
not been reorganized since Major Hanson
purchased the property. —Macon News.
