they engaged in a political wrangle,
and soon, as their steam increased
in intensity, they forgot the real issue
and tackled each other. The contro-)

editor of the Walnut Eagle published j
the following about his brother editor;

WILL SAVE SCHOOL BOOK FEES
Governor Will Change Plan Where

Atlanta, Oct. C.—A resolution of-j
fered by Governor John M, Slaton I
before the state school board and j
seconded by Superintendent of Ed-!
ueation M. L. Brittain, making pro
vision whereby parents will be saved
the expense of buying school books 1
twice where once would do, is at
tracting widespread interest through
out the state.
. Its provisions, or some otners like
them, will in all probability he taken
care of by the legislature at its
next session. If nothing is done be

I'nrier the present situation which
is pending, in connection with the
school hook question, a parent send
ing children to school beginning
September of this year could, under
these circumstances, be made to un
dergo the expense of buying or
changing hooks three times within
two years instead of once in five
years.
The principal part or the Slaton
resolution provides that the pres
ent contracts for school books be re
newed with the understanding that
after the school hook .investigating
committee makes Its report and the
legislature has acted thereon, the
school hook commission may recon
sider the list in whole or part, un
der the twelve months abrogation
