i 4* <%■ Schley County Representative Will Offer Bill to Have the State Do Printing. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. \L\Y 1.1913. Seeing Things By Leo BY JAMES B. NEVIN. Representative McCrary, of Schley County, is very much in earnest in his proposal to introduce a bill in the next Legislature looking to the pub lication by the State of text books for use in the common schools of Georgia. The etentua purpose, of course, is to furnish the school children with text books frte of charge entirely, but if that carnot be brought about at once, then tie State, by undertak ing the publicaHon of the books, can, in Mr. McCrcuy’s opinion, at least greatly lessen the cost to individuals. The gentlermn from Schley cites the State publtation of the Supreme Court reports D show how the State can save moifey to individuals on books, when i engages in their pub llcation; and khile he would not put the State in the attitude generally of competing with private enterprise, still he thints it well may interest itself in the printing of books used in State intitutions. Time waswhen Supreme Court re ports, issue by private concerns, cost up to $7 f volume. These same books mas now' be had for about one-fourth that cost. The argument that manjhnore copies are sold now adays thsi formerly is offset, in a measure, by the fact that the cost of printlg steadily has increased in general, 'hile the cost of the reports has decrased steadily. There Is no doubt that the ex pense o text books, now' put direct ly up'on.he people, is heavy and bur- densom in the extreme to a large numbe of citizens, particularly in the mfe rural sections. Mr. Mc Crary' effort to lift this burden, in part, not in whole, will, therefore, find fitch favor among the people. The uestion of working out a plan wheroy his desire may be wrought in a workable law is, perhaps, com- plexin a way, but if he presents a bin hat is practical, It undoubtedly willTeceive strong support. ■i, be sure, the book publication ,coV erns will not relish the idea of th State taking over the text book bviness. and may be depended upon t,fight it. Nevertheless, such a bill \5l be possible of passage, if it ( mes with the elements of common fnse and practicability attached > it—and such a bill, Mr. McCrary flsists, he will be prepared to offer. Minter Wimberly, of Bibb, who will be a member of the next House, made a great reputation in the last as the champion man-w'ho-explains-his- vote. Under a rule of the House, all members are permitted three minutes in which to explain their votes. This is looked upon as a right personal to the individual member, and rare ly is there objection to it. Mr. Wim berly loves to talk, and talks well, st that, and so he misses few occa sions to arise and explain how' it happens that he votes thus and so. It is doubtful w’hether the incom ing House will produce among the new members a vote explainer equal to Mr. Wimberly, but if it does, It will require some expert figuring to determine w'hich is entitled to the session's blue ribbon when the day of adjournment arrives next August. The high standard maintained by the schools of Tift County is abund antly evidenced in the fact that of the first twelve schools to reach the standard set by the State Board of Educ tion, tw'O are located in Tift. T? eighth school in the State to ach re the required standard was the ;ed Oak School, and the twelfth wa. (he Brookfield. No other Coun ty lias nearly equalled Tift’s record thus far. The important news has been her alded forth from Charlottesville, Va„ that young Oscar Underwood, Jr., the distinguished editor of "Corks and Curls”—whatever that is—has been duly and truly initiated into the Rav en society. The Raven is a very exclusively lit erary society, and gets its name from Edgar Allen Poe’s wonderful poem. Just exactly what “Corks and Curls” is, however, nobody seems able to say, right off the bat, but it must be something, of course! Young Mr. Underwood has many friends in Georgia, and was recently engaged in some Government work near Rome. “Uncle Billy” Wilson, of Gwinette, looks in on the Kimball House lob by now and then, where Georgia pol iticians most do congregate, and in cidentally pushes along his boomlet for assistant commissioner of agricul ture. H(^ will not be a member of the next House, and more is the pity, for he was much of the sauce pi quant—“Uncle Billie” is assured that “piquant” is a perfectly proper word —of the last one. He says he proposes to remain in Atlanta during the greater part of the forthcoming session, where as guide, philosopher, and friend, he will be ever at the service of the mem bership. The question of cow vs. anti-cows is up again in Thomasville. ^ Recently, the anti-cow hosts put one over on the pro-cow people, and succeeded in having the cows order ed oft the streets by the City Coun- cil. .. . Now, the pro-cows, realizing some thing Of the stragetlc advantage of the anti-cows, in that they are in possession of the municipal machin ery, have advanced a cautious com promise. It is proposed to divide the city into anti and pro-cow zones—there by assuring the bovines a partial re turn to their erstwhile free and easy estate in Thomasville, at least. It not known whether the com promise suggestion will bear fruit, hut its sponsors are said to be hope ful.

WASHINGTON, May 1.—In the House tariff debate Representative Chandler, of New York, Progressive, replied to Representative Heliin, of Alabama, who, he said, had called Theodore Roosevelt “the wild man from Africa” and in the same breath had invoked the spirit of Andrew Jackson to guide the deliberations of a Democratic Congress. “Jackson once killed a man named Dickinson in a duel,” said Chandler. “He threatened to han^ Calhoun; tried to horsewhip Thomas Benton; challenged ‘General Scott; overran Florida; had two eminent men hang ed, thereby nearly precipitating a war, and when President broke up his cabinet by headstrong violence. “This is the mild-mannered man whose spirit is invoked in this House by a Democratic Congressman in the same breath that is employed to denounce Roosevelt as a ‘wild man from Africa.’” Mrs. Sophia H.
