THE SCHOOL BOOK SCANDAL.
A sensation, is brewing sir state
politics by reason of discoveries
made by book men in the records
of the book coin mission, which
recently adopted the books for
state schools for the next five
years, which discoveries, it i« al¬
leged^ show the American Book
Co., was allowed hi make two bids
subsequent to the time allowed
for filing the bids had expired.
So far as the records go this com
pany was the on y company o
make subsequent bids after the
time fixed for a m » 0 >e 1 ’
audit was the last bid o the
company, which was without
date, that secured the contract
for the American Book Company
for the third, fourth and fifth of
Lee’s readers.
Wbile examining the records
of the commission Saturday, a
well known book agent, whose
company participated in there
cent bidding, found two bids of
the American Book Company
which had come in after No vein
her 26, the date set for receiving
the bids. He was greatly sup
prised at the action of the com
mission, it is said, and Was very
indignant that lvis company
should have received such treat
meat. When other book repre
sentatives heard the news of the
discovery they too were greatly
surprised. The matter has been
largely discussed by those inter
ested, and Saturday it. was the
sensation of the day in the state
capital. What the effect of the
discovery will be remains to be
seen, but that it will stir things
up in political circles seems a
certainty.
The first bids on the readers
which were awarded to the
American Book Company were at
a much higher price than the bid
which secured the contract and
furthermore readers ot both Gim.
A Co., and Maynard, Mem A
Co,, which were bid in November
25, at a lower price than those of
the American Book Company,
were both classed higher by the
sub-commission than the Ainer
lean. Book Company readers.
This is another ,»>i..t which hu
caused no end of discussion and
which will will nerlums perhaps hear near exnlana exptana
tion.

American Book Co. readers, at a
much higher price at. first, and
which were afterwards reduced
considerably, which had riot been
ranked very high by the sulV
commisslon, were Selected in¬

politicians and book men are dis¬

result will be.—Atlanta Journal.

The first gun has been fired in
the local political battle by the
announcement of Col. C. N. King
for the Senate, and considerable
speculation is rife as to who will
oppose him for the nomination,
which comes to Murray this
time. In this connection Ool. C.

well have both been promiuent
ly mentioned, though neither of

The scarcity of local news in
this issue is due to the fact that

new cylinder press, and that the

taken up most of his time. From
now on, however, look for a live,

Hon. O. N. Starr, who is mak
i„g a vigorous campaign for 80 -
freitbr general 6f the Chbtokee
circuit, was recently interviewed
by the Dalton-A-rgaSi Th’tl' Ar
gus says;:
“(jol. 0. N. Starr, who is a can
didate for solicitor general of the
Cherokee circuit, was. in Dalton*
Monday, and in conversation with
the Argus man, said he had been
pretty well over the Cherokee crr
cult since deciding to- make the
race for solicitor general anti feels
very much encouraged from the
reception given him by the vot¬
ers he has met.
Continuing Col. Starr said:
“Many tell mb that my opponent
has solicited them to vote for.him
for judge of the Cherokee circuit
fillers say that lie wants their
vote because he is in financial
need. He has told others that it
is better to he a candidate and !>e
defeated than not to run at all,
but his announcement given out
from his heudquartess in Atlanta,
bases his claims on the reduction
of the taxes in the Cherokee cir¬
cuit! The voters of the circuit
are a thinking people and an op¬
portunity will he given them to
see where, the saving comes in, if
there lias been any.’
“Col. Starr is of the opinion
that the people should not insist
on keeping a man in olhce when
he complains that it is keeping
him poor* ; ,
Col. Starr further stated : “1
also find throughout the Cherokee,
circuit a strong sentiment against
the third term, and Col. Maddox
is the only solicitor general in t he
history of the Cherokee circuit
who has ever offered for a third
term.” To the Times Col. Stan
further stated: “Four years ago
when Col. Maddox was a candi¬
date for solicitor general and my
name was mentioned in connec¬
tion with the race Ool. Maddox
said that he only wanted t he office
for a second term and said posi¬
tively that lie would not be a can¬
didate against me in 1904and fur¬
ther if I should be a candidate at
this time he would support me
against any man in the Cherokee
circuit. This statement was
made to me and my friends and
we feel that Col. Maddox ought
to live up to his word.”—Calhoun
