State Adoption Of Text Books.

Elsewhere will be found a CON-
munication from Superintendent
j. G.. FAINT of the Meridian Grad
ed schools in which Mr.. FAINT full
ly illustrates the advantages &C.
cruing from a uniform system of
school books in the state. The
comparison of books in use in
Mississippi aud recently adopted
in Alabama, with the prices paid
for the same books in the two
states, serve to show that Ala
bama through her state adoption
will have the same books furnish
ed to her pupils at a lower rate
than the people of Mississippi are
now getting them. The people
at large are in favor of a system
of text books that would be uni
form from one end or the state to
the other, both in and out of the
separate school districts. No one
has ever presented a logical rea-
son why a text book that is good
in one county could not be made
to serve the same purpose in
another county. The schools OF
the state are pretty nearly on a
plane and the question Of tex
books should be uniform aud the
books purchased with the view of
giving them to the children at the
lowest possible price.

Prison Cook 80 Years.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept led
Mullin, a man mentally weak. has
been a voluntary prisoner in the
county jail for nearly 80 years. He
is sick now and it is feared he will
die.
Mullin has been the Jail cook all
through his long confinement and a
thoroughly sane man could not have
given better satisfaction. His high
est qualification as a chef Is his strict
economy. He can furnish meal for
several hundred prisoners-and after
each has been given his allowance
the cooks pots have been scraped
clean. He has repeatedly refused to
accept pay for his services.
The sheriff. in appreciation of his
work, fitted up a nice sleeping room
for Mullin outside the Jail, but he
refused to occupy II and every night
Cor nearly 80 years he has slept in
the same cell he occupied the first
night he spent there. The key has
not been turned in the cell door for
years.
Mullin was technically free the day
after his arrest. as the probate court
decided his condition did not warrant
his confinement in an asylum. He
refused to go, and owing to his cult
nary accomplishments sheriffs were
glad to keep him.
Nothing is know of Mullins past
except that he was a sailor. When
ever the Jail officials attempt TO draw
something of his past life from him
he becomes incoherent.
