Schley County Representative
Will Offer Bill to Have the
State Do Printing.
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
Representative MeCrory, 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 eventual purpose, of course, is
to furnish the school children with
text books free of charge entirely,
but if that cannot be brought about
at once, then the State, by undertak
ing the publication of the books, can,
• 'in Mr. McCrory’s opinion, at least
greatly lessen the cost to individuals.
The gentleman from Schley cites
the State publication of the Supreme
Court reports to show how the State
can save money to individuals on
books, when it engages in their pub
lication; and while he would not put
the State in the attitude generally
of competing with private enterprise,
still he thinks it well may interest
itself in the printing of books used
in State institutions.
Time was when Supreme Court re
ports. issued by private concerns, cost
up to $7 a volume. These same
books may noW be had for about
one-fourth that cost. The argument
,that many more copies are sold now
adays than formerly is offset, in a
measure, by the fact that the cost
' of printing steadily has increased in
general, while the cost of the reports
has decreased steadily.
There is no doubt that the ex
pense of text books, now put direct
ly upon the people, is heavy and bur
densome in the extreme to a large
number of citizens, particularly in
the more rural sections. Mr. Me-
Crory’s effort to lift this burden, in
part, if not in whole, will, therefore,
find much favor among the people.
The question of working out a plan
whereby his desire may be wrought
in a workable law is, perhaps, com
plex in a way, but if he presents a
bill that is practical, it undoubtedly
will recejve strong support.
To be sure, the book publication
concerns will not relish the idea of
the State taking over the text book
>. business, and inav be depended upon
/ to tight it. Nevertheless, such a bill
will be possible of passage, if it
comes with the elements of common
sense and practicability attached
to it—and such a bill. Mr. MeCrory
Insists, he will be prepared to oiler.
Minter Wimberly, of .Bibb, who will
be a member of the next House, made
| a great reputation in the last as the
champion man-who-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 light personal
to the individual member, and rare
ly is there objection to it. Mr. Wim
berly' loves to talk, and talks well,
at that, and so he misses few occa
sions to arise and explain how it
. happens that he votes thus and so.
It is doubtful whether 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 liguring to
determine which 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
Education, two are located in Tift.
The eighth school in the State to
achieve, the required standard was
the Red *>ak School, and the twelfth
was the Brookfield. No other Coun
ty has nearly equalled Tift’s record
thu6 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
s Edgar Allen Poe’s wonderful poem.
Just exactly what “Corks and Curls”
Vs, 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 Bill*’” 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.
He will not bo a member of the
next House, and more is the pity,
for he was much of the sauce pi
quant—“Uncle Billie” i.s assured that
"piquant” is a perfectly proper word
—of the last orre.
He says he proposes to remain in
Atlanta (luring the greater part of
the forthcoming session, where as
guide, philosopher, and friend, he will
be ever at the service of the mem-
1 bership.
j .* 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 off the streets by the City Coun
cil.
Now. the pro-cows, realizing some
thing of the stragetic 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 ‘ ity
Into anti and pro-cow zones—there
by assuring the bovines a partial re
turn to their erstwhile free and easy
I estate in Thomasville, at least.
It i.s not known whether the rom-
* promise suggestion will bear fruit,
but its sponsors are said to be hope
ful.

the joy of it. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap
