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 us© in the common schools of
Georgia.
The eventual purpose, of course, is
to furnish the school children with
text books free of cViarge Inti rely,
but if that cannot be brought about
at once, then the State, by undertak
log the publication of the books, can.
in Mr. MeCrory'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 w hen 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. Mc-
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 receive strong support.
To be sure, the book publication
concerns will not relish the Idea of
the State taking over the text book
'business, and may be depended upon
to fight 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. McGfrory
insists, 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-who-explains-his-
vote.
Under a rule of the House, all
member.? are permitted throe minutes
in which to explain their votes. This
is looked upon as a right personal
to th^ 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
happen© that he votes thus and so.
It is doubtful -whether the inconi
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 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 tin- State to
achieve the required standard was
the Red Oak School, and the twelfth
was the Brookfield. No other Coun
ty has nearly equalled Tift’s record
thus far.
«
The important news has been her
aided 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,
ipoks in on the Kimball House lob
by now aid then, where Georgia pol
iticians most do congregate, and in
cidentally pushes along his boomlet
for assistant commissioner of agricul
ture.
He will not be a member of the
next House, and more is the pity,
for he was much of the sauce pi
quant—“Uncle Biilie” 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, lie 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 cov.g 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 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.
Tt is not known whether the com
promise suggestion will bear fruit,
but its sponsors are said to be hope
ful.

Resents Phrase, “The Wild Man
From Africa.”
WASHINGTON, May 1.—In the
House tariff debate Representative
Chandler, of New York, Progressive,
replied to Representative Hefiin, 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 1n 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-’ **

the joy of It. Your hair becomes
