was allowed to change his bid, SO rs to
make it lower than Henderson 81 Co.'S.
Some members of the Board then insisted
that the President should notify Mr. Hcnd-
erson in order that he might have the same
privilege; this was refused MIR. llcnder-
son, however, did appear before the Board
and offered to take the contract ut ten per
cent. less than Mr.. Misunderstanding to the
county in tho two years over one thousand
dollars but strange to say the proposition
was rejected Now why is this great in
tcrcst manifested in stranger and non
reside mt? Here we have Il firm represent
ing over thirty thousand dollars Of taxable
property citizens of our county, and vet
in matter touching the interests of our
own people every advantage Is given to an
outside firm, and our home people unfairly
dealt with. The fact Of the matter is, the
book question in our schools has long since
of IL great deal of scandal 1t is scandal. 1t
is said School Boards have been approach
! ed by book agents and offered an Interest
to adopt certain books, Others have been Of
ttIed in interest for contracts for supply
ing books, and So ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain, are said to be nlulgcd
in by some interested in this question, As
a matter of justice the contracts for sup.
plying books to our pubic schools should
he given out to home people. Let those
engaged in TINT business, whether Demo.
Gratis or Republicans bid for the books,
the stationary and all other articles used
in our public schools. There is no good
reason why an outside firm should be Sc.
lrctcd over our own people Mr.. liender-
son will sell school books ten per cent, less
than the School Commissioners offer them
to parents and children, and vet his con
tract was refused and one thousand dol
lars lost to the county Cti;en.
