Superintendent of Education of
Chatham County Declares Plan
Is Entirely Impracticable.
SAVANNAH. July 26.—Otis Ash-
more. Superintendent of Schools in
Chatham County, is opposed to the
plan of having textbooks published
by the State. Ashmore says that the
talk of high price of school books is
buncombe, and thinks that the re
sults, if the State undertook to pub
lish its own textbooks, would not
only be unsatisfactory, but would
show little if any difference in cost.
“I have followed pretty closely the
discussion about cheaper school
books, and the publication of these
books by the State,” said Ashmofe.
‘‘The publication of school books by
the State is an old and threadbare
story that is periodically dug up and
thrashed over. The plan has been
tried in several States and proves a
failure. It is unwise, expensive and
impracticable.
‘A recent investigation by the
State Superintendent of Schools
shows that he would save only a
‘cent or two’ on books printed by
contract, even if we owned the copy
right. To purchase a large and ex
pensive printing plant to be operated
by the State is a very doubtful ex
pedient. The equipment necessary
to print modern school books is
quite extensive.
“Hut the cost of printing is not
the only consideration. The quality
of the books themselves is of far
more consequence than their cost.
A good textbook is cheap at any
price; a poor one is dear at any
price. Those who know little about
school books are inclined to regard
them all alike. They think one read
er or arithmetic is as good as another
provided both have the same number
'of pages. I believe the greatest dan
ger under the plan would lie in the
limitation placed on securing good
books. There are thousands of books,
but only a few are good. The copy
rights on the best books are ow’ned
by the publishers, and they will not
sell them.”
Conductors Name
Adjustment Board
Any Differences With Central of
Georgia Management To Be
Amicably Settled.
SAVANNAH, July 26.—To appoint
a committee which will take up with
the management of the Central of
Georgia Railroad any matters which
they believe need adjustment, a dele
gation of officials of the Order of
Railway Conductors of America held

vice president of the order, presided.
W. M. Hamilton. H. W. Washburn
and J. W. Hall, of Macon, and two
other delegates were present. Carey
said that so far as he knew there are
no serious differences between the
conductors and the railway company,
and that there is no friction whatever
between them.

SAVANNAH, July 26.—A decision
by Judge Walter G. Charlton in the
Superior Court clears title to land
that had once been streets across the
large Bartow Investment Company’s
holdings on Bull street opposite Ards-
ley Park, and by so doing enforced a
contract of sale between W. M. Da
vidson and the Bartow Investment
Company for this property.
The tract is a valuable one in the
southern portion of the city. David
son declined to purchase the land un
der the contract, on the ground that
title to lands over which cross streets
had once passed was now doubtful, as
the city ctill claimed title to the land
for street purposes The investment
company brought suit to enforce the
contract.
On the strength of this claim the
city undertook to open up the former
streets. The investment company ob
jected on the ground that the city had
long since lost title by abandoning
the streets*. The company pleaded for
an injunction to prevent the city cut
ting the proposed streets, which the
court granted. The case then went to
the Supreme Court, a decision of
which upholds the decision of Judge
Charlton.
In .the suit to enforce the contract
of sale ten members of the investment
company and 110 defendants besides
Davidson were brought in. The ob
ject in bringing them In was to force
them to either assent to or object to
the relinquishment of the title to the
land in question for street purposes.
Theee persons owned land in the
subdivision of Kingsville other than
the Bartow property. These persona
as property owners in the vicinity
might have had some claim upon
these former streets for the purpose
of getting to their own property. It
was only by settling their claims one
way or the other that the status of
the title could be determined.
Judge Charlton in hip decision de
clared that the land in question Is the
property of the Bartow Investment
Company, and decreed that Davidson
must now purchase the land under
his contract. This Davidson Is glad
enough to do. now that the title has
been cleared. »

SAVANNAH. July 26.—For the

ers are being paid on an average of
$90 a carload for their melons.
In the territory between Brooklet
and Blitchton 250 carloads have been
sold at $90 a car. It is estimated that
the farmers of Bulloch this year will
receive $20,000 in the aggregate for
their crops of melons, most of which
have been shipped to the Middle
West, the North and Canada.
It has recently been demonstrated
that the watermelon crop will prove
far more profitable to Bulloch than
cotton. When they have finished
working the melons they are “laid by”
with peas, which shade the melons
as they ripen. After the melons are
shipped crab grass comes in with the
peas. This grass makes fine hay,
froth which the farmers can realize
enough to pay for their fertilizer.
Thus they have an income from three
crops.
The picnic at Stilson will be the
means of bringing together a very
large percentage of the melon grow
ers, and those who will be growers
of the fruit next year. Those who
have not yet attempted the crop as a
staple will be given the benefit of the
knowledge gained by the experience
of those who have made it a success.
