UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS

The bill providing for uniformity in
the text books used in the public
schools of Georgia is a most important
measure. tits an effort to put a stop
to the practice, that holds in many
counties in the State, of changing
books almost every year and thereby
entailing much needless expense upon
parents with no real benefit from the
change demanded.
The bill introduced by Mr. West, of
Lowndes, is complete and places the
selection of the books to be used in the
hands of a commission headed by the
Governor, including the Chancellor Of
the State University, and provides for
term Of office Of five years for the
commissioners.
The requirements before a change in
text books can be made are sufficient
to prevent any thing radical and there
is every reason to believe that the bill
will result in great benefit to the com
mon schools of the State.
The commission, in the event the
bill is made law, viii advertise for
bids for school books to be furnished
for a period of five years and samples
Of books must be submitted. Under
the provisions of the bill only uniform,
and non-sectual books
may be contracted for and a provision
is made for the contractor to furnish
bond to secure the faithful perform
ance Of the contract. In the event Of
its adoption the bill will go into effect
January 1st, 1904.

USE OF COCAINE.
Habit Said To Be DemoraIizing the
Negroes of Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 28.-The alarm
ing growth of the use Of cocaine among
the negroes Of Mississippi has caused
the suggestion to be made THAT more
radical laws should be enacted for
the suppression of the evil. The co.
came habit is demoralizing the race
in this state, and its growth in re-
cent years has been phenomenal Thou
sands Of victims may be found among
the negroes. and in the delta section
the habit is almost general. The drug
has a quick and demoralizing effect,
and the negro succumbs quicker to its
seductions than a white man, and
when the habit IL once fastened upon
him he rarely reforms.
1t has been suggested that a law
should be passed making it a crime for
any person to use cocaine except on
a physicians certificate. In 1900 the
legislature passed an act forbidding
the sale of the drug except upon a ply
sician's prescription, but the law is
ignored by nine-tenths of the druggists
IL INC oIdIC, anu lnGy Sell cocaine 10
all corners without fear of punishment.
The law is Of no avail because no es.
fort has been made by the authorities
to enforce it.
Physicians state that If the habit
among the negroes is not suppressed
and radical steps to this end taken
very quickly, it will mean the utter
ruin and final determination of the race
in the south. On almost every street
corner can be met the victims Of the
drug, and men and women alike use
it freely. Merchants who have close
ly observed the growth OF the habit
say that it has almost supplanted the
use Of snuff among the female negroes,
and that snuff sales have been falling
off very perceDtibly for the past three
or four years
The press of the state is taking up
the subject and urging the adoption
OF some radical method to save the
negro from self-destruction. and the Of
ficers are being advised to look more
closely after the law regulating the
sale Of the drug.

GATES ASPIRES
Would Organize a $500, ooo,.
900 Syndicate for Rail-
road Exploitation.
Now York Sass. SDecEaI SorvEcs

New York, April 16.-John w. Gates is
trying to organize a 5000, 100000 syndicate
to assist him in the business of buying
and selling railroads. Several of his in
innate friends have heen anuroa ched on
this proposition and the prospect is that
he will be successful in his undertaking.
1t is understood that the people who have
come to his assistance in securing con-
troll of the Louisville e Nashville are
willing to continue the association and
to induce their friends TO participate in
the new syndicate which Gates is trying
to organize.
Much of the money for such a syEdi-
cate, If it be organized, will come from
New York, though Gates would undoubt-
eddy be able to secure considerable as
sistance from Chicago. His success in
the Louisville deal has been a strong
card in his favor. for Wall street has a
strong admiration for the man who "gets
there Gates was not liked in Wall
street, owing to the we'll remembered
crack he gave the stock market when he
closed down the mills of the steel and
wire company and advertised the over
production of steel and iron a couple Of
years ago, but his plunging in Louisville
has awakened the market and made lot
of business. and consequently has greatly
Modified the dislike in which he was
held.

INSURGENTS
THAT QUIT
Position Of the Michigan and
California Men on
Cuba.
This Is Unsound, as Inter
preted by the Mime
sofa Delegation.

From The Journal Bmrenu, Room 50. Pos,
Eutsding, Tpd0Ilt1t1tosl
Washington, April 16.--The beet sugar
republicans have abandoned hope Of Sc
curing the passage of an amendment to
the Cuban bill abolishing the sugar diff
ferential. The republican members from
Michigan and California who have been
radical insurgents, say they cannot con-
sistently vote for differential amend
ment and this means it will be defeated.
The Minnesota delegation will probably
vote for differential amendment solidly.
Representative Fletcher at first was
somewhat in doubt regarding the matter,
but it is understood to-day that he re-
CARDS the differential amendment right.
The California insurgents will oppose
the differential amendment on the theory
that it will be the opening wedge to tariff
revision if carried. California has highly
protected industries and does not want
tariff revision. This, too, is understood
to be the attitude of the Michigan insur-
gents.
The Minnesota delegation thinks the
present agitation is an opening wedge to
tariff revision and that it is now too late
to attempt to prevent 1T. On this &C
count the Minnesota men do not think
the California and Michigan insurgents
have a clear view Of the situation. No
unpleasantness has grown out Of this diff
ference of opinion, for every insurgent
will be permitted, without question, to
vote as he sees fit on the numerous
amendments which will be offered to the
| bill.
| In justice to Representative Morris it
Should be said that he was not correctly
represented recently when in these dis
patches it was said he proposed ito offer
the Babcock bill as an amendment to the
Cuban bill. The story that he proposed
to do this, however, was quite generally
circulated. Judge Norris says 1t is not
true. He says that if anybody should
offer the Babcock bill as an amendment
he should feel constrained to vote against
| it, looking on the Cuban bill as sugar
proposition and nothing else. He will
| support no amendment which does not re-
late to sugar. he says. Judge Morris
from the first has maintained high
minded and dignifed attitude on the ques-
ton, and has been leader OF the So
! called insurgent forces. His speech IN
| the house last week was very strong
presentation of the case, as the sugar
! people see 1t.
