Social Reform Literature How to Pro-
duce II on Plan of CO-ODeratlOn.

To make books we'll and cheaply requires
q good deal Of capital. SO most social re-
form books In America have been badly
printed and hgh-prlced.
In September, 1893, Charles H. Kerr who
had been a publisher nearly thirteen years,
conceived the idea of putting his business
on a cooperative basis, His plan was well
coined cordially by social reformers every
where, and It's success Is assured.
The business Is divided into 1000 shares
Of $40 each. One dollar a month for ten
months pays for a share, or a discount Of
so per cent is allowed for cash down. A
shareholder has the privilege Of buying
"Merrie England" at 3R cents a copy and
all other books published by the company
at half retail prices He also has a months
credit on his purchases up to the amount
he has invested. Moreover, when his share
Is paid for he has an equal voice in the
disposal Of all profits earned by the COM
pany.
Within two months from the announce
ment Of the plan, subscriptions to the stock
were received from more than half the
States in the Union. 1t is hoped that the
rest Of the shares may be as widely dis
tributed as possible, and that each stOl X
holder will be a center for the distribution
Of books on social reform. For further par

members of the Georgia delegation an Con-
eress several days ago, requesting them TO
nresent his name to the President for

President Doesn't Regard Him as
Having Sufficient Experience.
washington. April 2S.-Gov. Atkinson mas
written TO a number Of the Georgia con-
gressmen, asking them to support him
for brigadier general to lead the Georgia
volunteers in Cuba. These letters reached
here last night and this morning.
The Governor states that he will resign
his office TO take the leadership of Geor-
gia's quota of volunteer soldiers to invade
Cuba, and he asks that the congressman
use their influence with the President in
having him chosen for this place.
President Mckinley has stated to some
of his congressional visitors that he will
appoint as brigadier generals only men
who have had actual fighting experience
on the field of battle, as these officers will
have the lives of many men in their hands.
If he adheres to this intention he cannot.
OF course, accept the services of Gov. At
kinson in the capacity he offers them. OF
course, there are many men clamoring for
commissions who were too young to fight
in the civil war, and many of these would
doubtless make good officers after training
and experience, but the President is repre-
scented as having taken the position that
there are plenty of good soldiers who had
the experience and training on one side
or the other in the late civil war that
would fit them for the command of a
brigade in the war now on. Many of the
Governors in appointing the regimental
battalion and company officers, will also
follow this plan of giving the commands
into the hands of ex-soldiers.
In a case like that of Gov. Taylor or
Tennessee the President will probably
grant the wish of that Governor to lead
the soldiers of his state, as he went
through the civil war and, therefore, has
the necessary experience. In other cases,
where Governors apply for a brigadier
generalship, however, their nominal titles
of commander-in-chief of their states
militia VIII have no weight with the Presi-
dent in the offering of the volunteer army
unless they have experience to back their
claims.
Besides Gov. Atkinson, another applican,
from Georgia for a brigadier generalship
made his appearance to-day in the person
of Col. Ed Wright of Albany, who ar
rived here yesterday. Col Wright did
not until this morning determine TO make
his application for this commission He
received a telegram from Albany, suggest.
ing the matter to him, and after talking
with Congressman Griggs, he decided tc
try for the place, and several of the Geor.
gia delegation have given him their in.
dorsement, and are pushing his claims
Col. Wright has been very prominently
identified with the Georgia militia for the
past sixteen years and ne served in the
Confederate army during the two last
years of the war, entering that army al
16 years of age.
Col. w. w. Gordon's friends are active
~ at work In his behalf, and other applL
cants may appear.
