Atlanta, Not. 9. —Governor Atkin*
■on has sent the majority and minority
reports of the school book commission
to the general assembly, accompanying
them with a short but very pointed mes
sage.
The majority report, signed by Com
missioner Gtemr, H. R. Goetchins, W:
B. Merritt and T. D. Tinsley, is strong
ly against uniformity, while the minor
ity report, submitted by J. C. Beau
champ, advocates a system'of uniformity
by gradual changes. t
Governor Atkinson limits his message
to a brief statement of facts and pre
sents a table of comparison between the
cost of books now and the prices offered
him by a prominent publisher if given a
contract to furnish the state’s school
books. Thig publisher has offered to give
bond to comply with [such a contract.
The difference in price is interesting and
not far short of startling.
On this subject the governor says:
•‘To the Getaerah Assembly:
“I herewith transmit the majority
and minority reports made by the mem
bers of the school book commission, ap'
pointed under resolution number 49. of
the general assembly, approved Decern*
ber 25, 1896.
“In recommending the creation of
this commission in 1896, I said:
“The plan adopted by the state for
the printing of the reports of the su
preme court, and the new code is yield
ing results of the most satisfactory
character. Georgia reports, which
were sold at $5.50 per volume, when
printed by individuals on their own ac
count, the state is now publishing and
selling at a neat cost of $2.00 per vol
ume. The additional volumes printed
after the first edition is exhausted are
printed at the cost of SI.OO per volume
to the state, and sold at $1 50 per vol
ume. ’ ’
“Under recent contract for additional
volumes of supreme court reports af
ter exhaustion of the first edition, the
cost is 90 cents per volume, complete
and delivered to the state.
• ‘The code of 1882,in one volume,con
taining 1,482 pages, printed on private
account, was sold to the public at $lO
per copy.
“Under the act of the general assem
bly providing for the printing of the
code of 1895, on state account, the three
volumes, containing 3,136 pages, cost
something less than $4.00 for the three
volumes.
“The following statement presents
clearly the comparative cost of onr code
published upon state’s account under
the competitive bid system and what
we are actually paying for the school
books used by our children in the public
schools:
•‘Code —Three volumes, containing 1,-
500,000 words, cost $4.
“School hooks—Five school books,
containing 659,000 words, cost SI.BB.
“Five school books, containing 215,n
000 words, cost $4.
“The cost of printing the same num
ber of words in school books as in the
code would be $9.52.
“In this calculation I have not com
puted the compensation which must be
paid to authors nor other necessary ex
penses which will readily suggest them
selves to you. On the other band it
must be borne in mind that only a f«w
thousaud copies of the code weie priut-

“At my request one of the best equip
ped and reliable publishing-houses in the
State has furnished me I ths following
statement showing what is now being
paid for school books in Georgia, and at
what price he would be willing to print
the same books in lots of 100,090:
“Wentworth’s ’ practical “ 'arithmetic,
Ginn & Co., publishers, 400 pages, pub
lisher's price, 65c; price bid, 18c.
“Third reader, Ginn & Co., publish
ers, 256 pages, publisher’s price, 40c;
price bid, 12c.
“First book in American'history (Eng

lish r, 224 pages, publisher’s price, 60c;
price bid, 11c.
“Swinton’s word primer, American
Book Company, publisher, 96 pages,
publisher’- price, 15c; price bid, 4c.
“Sanford’s higher An. arithmetic,

“Graves’ new grade! speller, Ginn &
Co., publisher, 160 pages, publisher’s
price, 25c ; price bid, 10c.
“McGuffey’s third Electic reader,
American Book Company, publisher, 208
pages, publisher’s price, 40c; price bid,
14c.
“This company is able and willing to
take to contract to publish at the prices
named and give bond to comply with
their contract.
“You can add to these prices a fair
royalty to be paid to the author and draw
your own conclusions as to whether or
not we are being made to pay an un
reasouable and unjust tribute to a lordly
tiust.
“I submit to you the consideration of
the question, discussed in the majority
and minority i eports with the confident
belief that you possess the wisdom to
discern and tbe courage to apply the
remedy.”
In this message the’’ governor also has
something to say of the right of way of
the Western and Atlantic Railway at
Marietta. The rest of the message,
which is devoted to this matter, is as
follows:
“At the sf«;ion of the general assem
bly in 1896, there was passed a resolu
tion entitled *A resolntion authorizing
the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern
Railway company to acquire certain
rights in the use of the right of way of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad in
and near the city of Marietta,”
“By virtue of authority granted in
said resolution. I appointed as arbitra
tor Hon. Dupont Guerry, of the county
of Bibb. His report to me accompanies
this message and fully explains the fail
ure to adjust the question submitted.
“Since this report of Mr. Guerry and
the evidence submitted to the arbitrators,
which is now in possession of Hon. W.
A. Wimbish, special attorney for the
Western and Atlantic railroad, gives the
necessary information, I recommend that
there be no further effort made toaibi
trate. It is tbe state’s property, and tbe
only thing necessary to be done is for
the general assembly, if it desires to sell
to pass an act fixing the price at which
it may be sold. From the best evidtn.-e
at my command, I .m of the opinion
that we should keep the property or
realize for it at least SB,OOO.
“Hon. Dupont Guerry and Hon. W,
A. Wimbish will each be pleased to give
you in this matter whatever aid they can
rendei.
“I hope this can be disposed of at the
present session of the general assembly,
as the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern
Railroad company is now occupying this
right of way and should be required to
pay for its use or be removed from its
possession.”

Electricity Will Destroy Him
SAYS STORM LAST SUNDAY NIGHT
Was the Wortof Enemies Who Made the
Noise and Beta With an Electrical
Machine.
Lewis King, a young white man 28
years of age, was tried for and adjudged
a pauper lunatic before* jury in Ordinary
Davis! office yesterday morning.
King lived with mother, aunt and sis
ter on the place of Mr. Joe Bobo in Van’s
Valley. Up to a short while ago he did
work for Mr. Bobo. He has had “queer
notions” for about eight years, so he con
fessed yesterday, but his condition be
came alarming only a short while since.
Tbe examination brought out a peou*
liar hallucination the unfoitunate man
labors under. He answered all questions
at once and evinced no signs of mental
derangement other than his strange ideas
of a “secret force, maybe electricity,
maybe gas,” with which enemies were
seeking to destroy him.
Dr. Will Shaw, as foreman of the jury,
interlocuted King in the main, though
other jurymen now and then asked ques
tions. After a number of questions
King was asked if any attempt had ever
been made to do him harm.
“Yes, last April somebody tried to
poison my food with bluestone. But
the main thing was what happened last
Sunday night.”
It will be remembered that early Mon
day morning there was a heavy wind and
rain storm in this section. To this oc
currence King undoubtedly has reference
“T.here was some kind of an electri
cal machine that did that. It wasn’t
natural rain. You can’t fool me, and
besides I saw the parties who bad the
machine running away. They were
under the bouse and wanted to blow
me up. I don’t understand just bow
they worked it, but by electricity
they made the rumbling noise, and
the sound of rain. It wasn’t natural
I tell you. You can’t fool me. ’’
His talk was all very much on this
line, when other questions were asked
he would go back to the subject of
electricity. “Uncle Bob . Dougherty
asked him once,
“Do you believe in ghosts?’’
“What?’’ asked King.
“Ghosts, ghosts.”
“Did you say goats?”
“No, no. Ghosts! G-o-s-t-s,” re
plied Uncle Bob, never noticing that
be had lost part of bis ghost.
“I don’t believe in ’em,’’ said King.
“I wouldn’t be afraid to sleep in a
graveyard.”
The jury were out only a few min
utes before returning a verdict of
“pauper lunacy.” He will be sent to
Milledgeville.
