OVERFLOWED
HAD TO SECURE NEW QUARTERS WILL MOVE ABOUT sEPTEM- BER FTRST-AM INCREASE OF NINETY-ETGHT PER
 CENT IN BUSINESS
 OVER LAST YEAR.

On account of the crowded condition of present quarters, Draughon's Practical Business College, Farley National Bank Building, Public Square, Montgomery, has taken a five years lease on the hall at 115-l17 Dexter Avenue, opposite Post ofnce, lately occupied by the Dancing Academy.
 Prof. Simmons, Manager Draughon's Montgomery College, stated that one of two things had to be done. He would either have to cease enrolling students, or else procure larger quarters; that every seat had been taken. and that he had crowded in all the desks that he could possibly get in the building, now occu- pied by the college.
 He hopes to get into his new quarters about September list. Considerable ina- provements will be made in the way of ventilation. Aetc., by cutting windows on the sides of the building. putting hi partf- tions, etc. When the work is completed, this will be one of the best lighted, best ventilated and one of rthe most desirable, as we'll as the largest hall that Prof. Draunghon could have secured in this sec ton of the country The growth of Prof. Draughon's Montgomery College Is phe- nomenaL -s -
 It may be interesting to the public to know that from Jan. 1st, 1908, to August ist 1908, the Montgomery College shows an increase in receipts of ninety-eight per cent over the corresponding period of last year. adv.

CONTEST FOR FREE VACATION TRIPS
 CONTINUES TO ATTRACT ATTENTION
YOUTHFUL CANDIDATE Is
 POPULAR.
Baby Smith is Close Up in the List of Apparent Prize Winners.
 Closes on August IS.

Only two weeks left in which contest ants may secure the required number of votes to win one of The Advertisers free Vacation or Consolation Trips.
 The candidates now entered in the race are doing full duty every day looking after their fences. Some of those who have apparently been taking it easy all along have suddenly jumped from away down the line right up in the midst of the leaders. This shows that quiet cam paign is being conducted and a dark horse may yet land in the coveted place for first choice of all these delightful out lngs.
 A candidate worthy of especial mem tion is Master George Franklin Smith, whose portrait appears herewith. and who is perhaps the youngest candidate in the race. Master Smith has made won- derful progress by the aid of his friends during the past few days, and now stands among the first six for choice of one of the two weeks outings with all railroad fares paid and hotel bills at one of the famous resorts selected by The Adver- User.
 Someone will have to hurry If he beats George Franklin to the finish, for he Is certainly a vote getter.
 J. B. Slaughter of Snowden, is perhaps the oldest contestant. He has gradually forged ahead until he now stands second, and if Miss Lamar, the leader for many days, does not look to her laurels, he will pass up to first place shortly. Mir. Slaughter is a hard worker and is in the race to win.
 Mrs. Lamar has not been idle by any means, neither has Norman Drum, who Is close behind. In fact 1t don't pay to be idle very long In this contest if you value your chances of winning vacation.
 One leading contestant dropped into The Advertiser the other day and remarked

OPINION AS TO BOOKS
PUPILS MAY HAVE TO Ex-
 CHANGE OLD ONES.
Attorney General Wilson is Asked to Settle Vexing Question
 Brought Up by the
 Uniformity Law.

Under the provisions of the Uniform Text Book Law, school children of Ala bama who already have books adopted by the State Commission may be com peiled to return their old books and. get books for them identical in binding and text. # ~
 A literal interpretation of the law will mean that all books in use now in the public schools must be discarded, the adopted books now in use as well as the others. ce a%H
 Attorney General Massey Wilson has been asked for an opinion interpreting that section of the law by the omciais of the Educational Department. He now has the matter under advisement.
 Many of the books adopted by the State Text Book Commission were already. in use in many of the schools. It was said by an official of the Educational Depart ment yesterday that the geography adopt ed by the State Commission was already in use in thirty-eight counties in Ala bama where county uniformity of school books are in operation. In other branch es of study the adopted books are being used in many of the public schools.
 With a strict interpretation of the law the adopted books will be of no more value to the owners than the books which were not adopted. The books will be of no special value because they will not have on their backs the certain printed statements required by law. sfl
 The law requires that the books to be used in the public schools of the State shall be furnished by the publishers for the contract price agreed upon by the publishers and the Text Book Comnfis- sion. The law requires further that every book used in the public school shah have printed upon it's back: 'The price for this book is fixed by contract, and any deviation therefrom should be reported to your County Superintendent or to the State Superintendent of Education at Montgomery" This is the provision of the law which has caused the trouble. The books already in use in certain of the counties. and which were adopted, have not that printed statement upon them. # ts
 Under the operation of the Text Book law the publishers take old school books for half payment of the contract price for new booksIf the law is strictly in- terpreted many of the children in sev- eral of the counties will swap book for book of the same with the publishers and pay a premium for so doing.
 Attorney General Wilson has been ask ed to render an opinion as to whether the adopted books which have been in use can be used, CT whether the pupils are compelled to get the new books with the required printing. zaaasas,.s -s-.s

JAcKsoN's ORDER BOOK
Presented to the State by a Federal
 A Soldfer. f

John w. Laeocl. Federal soldier cf Macon. III. has presented to the Departs ment of Archives and History the orfginaf order book of Major General William Hs Jackson's cavalry division. 2 SN
 The order book fell into Mir. Lacoct's hands during the closing days of the war and he has kept 1t carefully aHsthase years.
 The order book is the original manu- script record of General Jackson division. It contains all orders issued by General Jackson during the first three years of the war. It is in an excellent state of preservation and all orders to. this day are easily legibie.
 Mir. Lacock was quartermastef sergeant of Company c. 95rd Indiana irfnntfys 18th army corps. He went thFonsA Ala hama with his command, serving instha engagement at Blakely. He came later to Montgomery with the Indiana regiment and remained here some time 2 -ss
 He wrote of the qualification that KE gave him as Federal soldieF Co com tribute anything worthy of preservatian to the Confederate records.

that he thought 1t queer that he did not move up the line faster, zs he had put in several hundred votes and knew of many friends who had been voting for him. He was simply cautioned that his friend. the enemy. had also deposited many votes, as well as various sundry friends had also done.
 The only way to win is to hunt up votes, so you are advised to keep 1t up until the close.
 The contest will close promptly at p. m., Saturday, August 15. No vote will be received or counted for any person after that hour
 Don't get left, be on time, and be sure you have enough. The only way to get enough is to have a collection of friends either pay their subscription or subscribe for The Daily and Sunday Advertiser.
