IfLft AlbAJNlA UiiUnUiAJN iLMJ IN IV W O. lilLlittUAl, MAX L, IH1.J. 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.
