The Exchange of Books.

Notwithstanding the clear and
explicit Instructions of Messrs.
Hansell to their agents here,
which we published last week,
and Notwithstanding the plain
stlpulatlons of the contracts that
they have entered into with these
gentlemen, the parties who have
the new school books for sale in
Opelousas refuse to allow any
discounts for books offered in
5xchange. They first took the po-
sltion that they would not accept
any book with a name written in
it or with writing on the margins.
Now, since they have been in
structed by Messrs. Hansell to ac-
cept all such books as might be
used again, even if written on
aye, even if the backs were off
they refuse to allow any discount
on any books, i.4e., they require
cash i'm full for the new books,
and tell the purchaser that he may
leave his old books with them and
that when Messrs. Hansell pay for
them they will refund to him half
the amount that he has paid for
the new books. After our article
of two weeks ago had elected
from the State agents the letter
that we published last week, in
which said agents agreed to pay
the local dealers for all proper
books taken in exchange by them,
the President of the School
Board took up the matter, and as
the result of his interview, the
following letter, signed by both
the dealers, was addressed to him:
81 am willing to take back any
book that was in use in the public
schools according to contract ex-
cepting that [ cannot afford to
pay out the cash for the old books
as stated, but will give receipt
to each party leaving his or her
book for me to return to Mr..
Hansell and upon receipt or his
remittance / will turn over the
amount to each child as | am
placed in a position to pay cash
for the new books and the margin
Of profit is almost nothing | can
not further lay out the money for
return of old books but will give
all children due satisfaction and
Justice" - 4ss
Just here, it appears, the Pres
ident let the matter drop; and
while the new books are going like
hot scakes-several kinds were
exhausted on the very day the
schools opened-they bring spot
cash, gwithout deduction or dis
countS Severy time.
We fnust say, in justice to the
Messra. Hansell, that they have
acted ~ery literally in the matter
and that they are in no way to
blame for the Syexation and dis
appointment that our people have
been subjected to.
