NEW BOOK BIDS
TO BE SUBMITTED

Committee Rejects All
Rendered By the
Dealers
PRICES WERE TOO HIGH
This Decision Reached by th#., Com
..mission and New Bids Will Now
Have to be Made by the Many
Book Men.
following interesting article is
from the Atlanta Journal of
jHfesday:
HfNew bids must be submitted by the
|pook concerns if ny of them expect to
get the contracts from the state of
Georgia for yesterday afternoon the
state beard of education passed a res
olution rejecting all bid/;, and giving
the bcok men until November 25th. to
submit new ones.
The action of the state board was
a great surprise tci the bool, repre
sentatives. In fact, they were so sur
prised by the action of the board that
they did not know what to do, and
none of them can say whether or not
their price; will be changed.
It is safe to say, however, that un
less there is considerable change in
the price that the contract will not be
until the prices are satis
factory to the board. The prices of
the bidder; were said to be too high
at the beginning. This fact has been
discussed at length my the mem Lei;
lo the board, and in order to keep
from rejecting the bids an effort was
made to get the book men to offer
better exchange prices.
The commission met yesterday af
tergoon and spent three hours discus
lug whether or not the bids should
be rejected. Finally It wa§ decided

■'The state school book commission
latter caretully considering the bids
and proposals of the authors and pub
lishers of books competing for state
adoption, have unanimously reached
the conclusion, that the bids and pro
posals are not satisfactory. There
fore, by virtue of the act creating said
commission and the power therein con
ferred upc® us, it is ordered and ad
judged that all bid,; submitted us be
and they are hereby rejected.
“It is further ordered that each bid
dif be invited to re-submit a bid 1 , and
that any new bidder be allowed to file
a bid, ail bids to he made and field in
conformity with the act creating such
committee and to be deposited in the
office of the secretary of state not
later than 3 p. m. November 25.
This resolution will in, no wise af
fect the work which was done by the
sub-commission that of inspecting and
reporting upon the books. The books,
it is said, are very satisfactory, but
the prices are not.. The book men
announce this morning that they will
take up the question of bids right
away.
Members of he commission are of
the belief that the rejection of bids
.will serve to get lower prices. The
prices made in Georgia were higher
than those made South Carolina or
Alabama and the board was determin
ed to do better than either of the two
isates mentioned above.

ISSUES LETTER
Some Plain Facts Put
Before the Voters of
Brunswick
KEEP OUT 0E THE PRIMARY
Another Ticket Will b e in thV Field
So Do Not Bind Yaurself to Any
Candidates. —A Good Letter
to the Voters.
The following was issued by the
Citizens club yesterday:
To the Voters of Brunswick:
The primary election, is called for
the purpose of, and at the instignation
of, and supported 1 unanimously I\r
the so-called Good Government club,
wno desire to perpetuate themselves
in office forever and maintain a rule
or ruin policy never before witnessed
in, this city.
When this “office ring" went into
power, the cardinal feature of their
platform, announced from every stump
in the city, was one man for one
office, and the reduction of taxation.
Asa matter of fact taxes have not.
been reduced, but in many cases, the
tax payer of today is paying more tax
ation, than ever before,and we have
the unheard spectacle ol several mem
uers of the saiil club serving ia two
or three official positions. Again, it
is a wed known fact that some of our
citizens not in accord with the domi
nant faction have boen persecuted, as,
witness, me persecution and ■■humil
iations heaped upon the present may
or of the city; who was denied the
right of appointing even the janitor
ot tue city nail ana city cow impound
ing officer, wnich for years has “been
leu entirely with tue mayor; witness
also, that this same mayor wa,;; scored*
by resqinuou. iovso^h,
J***&*tiL fy ** Uv*"- • > '* , ~
or Emanuel in 1902.
The Citizens club Is formed as a
protest to the present arbitrary ring
rule. A mass meeting of the voters
and tax-payers will be caileu as soon
as the city registrar complete tlieir
work, to nominate in open assembly
candidates for aldermen who will have
the general interest of the people at
heart, and will not he partisan in all
matters {introduced in, e,.|uneil, ana
who will not favor the perpetuation in
office of any set of men, and wilt not
elect to official position men. who are
not best fitted for the office.
To participate in this primary elect
ion binds you without equivocation
to support whoever is nominated, ana
you will then have no opportunity of
making your selection of the names
other than those selected at this pri
mary; or for any other person who
may stand for alderman in the general
election to be held December 6 1903.
, There is no party issue Hivoß-a,
'and, judging from the hast a wU
primary tarns to settle Political ands
■cords, as is best evidenced by th fc
bitter political contest,-; we have had,
and are now having, although pri
maries were held in the county for
the past four years.
Therefore we would suggest that il
you do not care to align .yourself with
the present ring rule yor retrain from
participating in the primary*^
your own convictions in the gene ai
election, and thus exercise the tin
untrammelled and sovereign nsht of
every freeman and citizen o, thi, at/.

fective and pretty.
In act two the drama takes the
place of the comedy and here is inter
woven the real meat of the product
ion. It discloses the falsity of Mrs.
Morely and her love for Lord Heatlie
cote, and in this act, when on the verge
of being found out by hor husband
Mrs. Johnson, in order to protect and
shield her sister, carries her burden
and through intrigue, convinces Mr.
Morely of the innocense of his wile.
In tmis act it is also made very clear
that Jim Morely, brother of the in
jured husband, is very much in love
with Mrs. Johnson, who, by her own
motion, was playing in a false role
and the scene between the two broth
ers was one of the prettiest climaxes
of he evening.
In the third act, in wmch tire false
position of Mrs. Morely has worn her
hsart away, and she confesses her
VOTERS SHOULD ALL THINK WELL
BEFORE THEY VOTE IN THE PRIMARY
Don’t Be Caught in the Poiiticai Trap Se|
By Leaders of Good Government Club/
Who Have Already Decided on m
Their Aidermanic Ticket /
The long talked of, very muchly
mooted and badly muddled political
primary, sailing under the color of
j white, will be pulled off at the city
ffiail today. The people of Brunswick
are familiar with the clap trap pri
juiary; this vote catching, office-hold
' ing attempt at a primary, it conse
quently reeds no introduction here,
| but for fear that some of the unweary
I may be misled, it mav be well to
-state cnee again that the so-called
j white primary” is no more or no less
than the last effort of the once glorious
Good Government club to perpetuate
itself and adherents in office.
That it is a political machine is best
evidenced by the fact that inside of its
cloned doors, where the grand jury
meets tci make the laws, it has hatched
a ticket composed of six good gentle
men, when as a matter of fact there
are hut four places to be filled. The
News could this morning, if it was soi
■inclined/ present to the people of
Brunswick, the names of the four gen
tlemen who are to be nominated, and
of the two gentlemen who are to be
made scapegoats, but out of respect
tv* all parties at interest the question
is passed up for the moment, but ere
the shades of night fall two gentle
men on the ticket will finji out that
they have been knifed in the house
o£ their friends.

this today.
The friends, supporters and mem
bers of the Citizens club will, of
course, in no wise participate in this
affair today, and immediately after it
they will call a mass meeting of the
tax payers and registered voters of
Brunswick aud will nominate a tick

have caught the inspiration and really
realized that it was facts and not

This production has been cleaned of
many little vulgarities usually found
in Pans affairs. It is wholesome, of
fers a magniftcient object lesson, and

Miss Amelia Bingham, the star of
the aggregation, was simply immense.

but to those who would vote for them,
or any one of them,, it might be well
ta suggest that a vote in this primary
will bind the voter to the entire tick-
I
I et. irrespective to who might me nam-
I ed by the Citizens club, or who might
. stand on .his own motion in the gen
eral election, to be held December i.
So, if you wist to vote for one of
j these gentlemen, or two of them, ou
tlie entire ticket, why not wait until
the general election on the above
date when a full, fair and untrammel
led opportunity will present itself for
you to make your selection from the
eight gentlemen or more who will he
presented for consideration.
In conclusion, it might be well to
say, for the last time, that the so
called primary of today is hut the polit

For Welfare of Employes.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 18. — l'he open
ing gun lor the next session ot the
American. Mining Congress lias been
fired by Secretary Irwin Mahoue in
the shape of a preliminary statement
showing what the association expects
to accomplish during the coming your.
At the last meeting at Dead wood it
was voted by the delegates to hold
the convention of 199-4 ia this city.
With the view of commencing his cam
paign of publicity for this meeting
Secretary Mahon dwells on what the
association has done during, its exis-
tence. The Congress is now a regu
lary chartered institution under the
: laws of. Colorado. The latest feature
■vhich the members of the hoard ol dii- ;
ectors have seen fit to approve is the
formation of a plan which calls for
the erection of a peimanont home for
the congress to be known as the
American Mining Congress Museum.
In the structure, which it is soped
to erect shortly in some western city,
will he on exhibit the ores ol all the
mining districts cf the Urittd States
and the extensive mechanical applian
ces which are now used lor ore treat
ing. T 1 is institution will prove a big
lelp, not only to those actively <;n
,aged in the mining busines, but to
the investor as well who can come to
.he Museum and see just what any
-roperty contains. The coming con
vention will 'be the most successful
ever held by the association and it is
expected that hundreds of new faces
will be seen as the interest, in the
j organizations has been increasing an
the publicity wan accomplished. ’l'he;
I secretary expects as soon as the peo
ple interesirrt in mining learn cl the
| e' 1 purposes of this organization that
its success will be greater than ever,
iAt other motive, is the bringing of eni
( ploye and employer in closer rela
[ tionl with each other so that both can
be ben-fitted in this way and each will
i jerk to the interest of the other, 'lies
has long been the aim of the organiza
tion and it now seems tint tic wishes
of the promoters will be gratified.

B Company interests were placated
and the Blair-Ryan relief plan will go
through substantially as pubished in
the dispatches Sunday. A strong
board of directors is airedy drawn up
with corresponding names in the vo
ting trust, which will he announced
alter the meeting tomorrow tanning.
I was given a list of the uJSs in
confidence. They embrace men of the
highest standing including Boston and
Chicago men with national reputation.
They also include Blair and Ryan
interests who offered to furnish the
necessary money toi complete the Bir
mingham extension and pay the float
ing debt on condition, that they name
a majority of the directors. The Lad
enburg pooiple remain but do not ex
ert the same influence which they
claimed to have had before. The re
sult ol the deal is that J. Pierpout
Morgan will predominate in the luture
management. From a high authority
i learn that President Williams will
continue at tile head, his peculiar fit
ness ter the place being generally re
cognized.
The result ot the arrangement is
that the company will have abundant
resources tor enlarging the system and
-building tip its ousint 1 '- And will work
in jMMWauay with l r
roads.
The amount of money to be furnish
ed will be $3,500,000 and more if nec
essary. It was feared at one time
that the Ladenburg people would be
able to knock the deal, but it is re
ported that they were shown their I
error and that* the scheme could be
put through in spile of them, if the
management insisted, but just how was
not explained.
President Williams, while he would
! not say anything about the harmony
programme, admitted that everything
was satisfactorily arranged and that
lie company’s future was all that lie
could desire. The interpretation plac
ed on the Seaboard deal is that it
means the virtual control of the prop
erty by the Southern railway, although
it cannot lie literally said that there
is any connection. The directors to
be announced tomorrow make this
clear.
