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- EVERY FAMILY SHOULDKNOW THAT fr a very remarkable remedy, bath for IN* TBRNAL and EXTERNAL use, and won. fcrftil in its quick action to relievedistress.

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.” You can't cure consumption, but you can avoid it snd cure every other form ot throat or lung trouble bv the use of One Minute Cough Cure.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11, 1891 «« PffQUM BEAS wwh-W, Mja&yafcne, Beliem 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.
