ONLY THREE HEARD FROM
Are Some Publishers Preparing to
Forfeit Their Deposits?
FOUR STATE DEPoslToRles TO Be MADE
Many inquiries Being Received About Books but
Governor Can't Issue Proclamation Until
The Contracts Are All Signed
and Bonds Fixed.

In the State book adoption business
there has been a see-saw. For many
weary days the Text-Bo Commission
kept the agents and book publishers
waiting and now some Of the book COM
panies have the Commission in the same
fix.
The delay is caused by the failure of
some of the companies to sign up the con-
tracts and file their bonds, which is a
necessary part Of the adoption. Up to
yesterday but two companies had been
heard from, these being the American
Book Company and d. c. Heath and Com
pany. On yesterday the contract and bond
of B. f. Johnson & Co., were received.
This leaves three companies yet to be
heard from, the University Publishing
Company, Silver, Burdett & Co., and New
some & Co. This delay keeps the Cover
nor from issuing his proclamation as to
the books adopted, as it is not known
whether the companies named are going
to back water on their bids and pre-
fer to let the State keep their forfeit
money, or are going to abide by the
figures they mad. in their bids.
From all over the State inquiries are
pouring i'll from teachers and retail book
store people asking for lists of books and
for the places were the books will be
sold. This it is impossible TO give until
all contracts have been signed
Unless there is speedy action by the
book men it is on the books that the
Text Book Commission may open up the
hook question again and some of the
members do not seem averse to doing this.
If it is done there will be merry rat
Ting of bones.
AS soon as some definite action is
taken the books will be on sale at various
places in the State. 1t is understood that
the publishers will have three or four
main repositories in the State from
which books will be distributed to retail
ers in every locality in the State, who
can get books on a days notice. The
main repositories are expected to be at
Raleigh, Asheville, Charlotte and Will
mington
Who will be selected outside of Raleigh
to have these repositories is not yet
known, but in Raleigh the depository will
be with Alfred Williams e Co. Before
any definite arrangements are completed,
however. the Governors proclamation is
to he issued as to the adoption, and this
is now hung up by the dilatory action of
the book publishers.

a crash that reused residents for blocks
around, the tourist building, at the
corner of Monroe and ottawa streets
collapsed at 2 o'clock this morning, do
ing damage estimated at $250,000. Half
an hour after the building was levelled
fire broke out in the great heap of
debris and caused considerable damage
before it was eXtinguished. The build
ing was constructed in 1858 and had
long been regarded as unsafe. Recent
interior improvements have necessitat-
ed removing of the supporting walls
and this is believed to have caused the
accident. Friedman Brothers dry goods
and department store and C. f. Blicl-

Gated in the building, were completely
