CONGRATULATIONS ALL AROUND.

The results that have already been
accomplished under the uniform text
book law passed at the last session OF
the general assembly surpass even the
expectations of the most ardent advo-
Gates of the measure.
The commission, composed OF able
and patriotic Georgians, to when was
delegated the duty to contract for
books to be taught in the schools of
the state for the next five years have
lust completed that work, and they an
uounce that conservative estimate of
the amount that wall be saved to the
people of Georgia under the unifoFmi-
tv law will not be less than 100000.
Books will be bought from % to so per
cent.eheaper than heretofore, and the
quality will not be cheapened.
There Is cause for 0ougratulation all
around. The Legislature is to be con
graduated for enacting the uniformity
law, the members of the book commits
sion for the able and wise manner ia
which they have discharged their ar
duous and delicate duties, and the peO-,
pie upon the vast amount of money
that will beesaved to them under the
operations of the new measure.

ANOTHER DINING.

There has been another dining with
an. off-color feature at Washington mot
Booker, where the politicians have
done so many Surprising ehings of late.
This time Senator Hanna was the
most and the occasion was a banquet
to the members of the national repub-
lican committee, who had met to
select time aad place for holding
the next conversion. Conspicuous
among the guests ct the feast was Jud-
son Lyons, the negro committeeman
from Georgia, and >of all the several
white men from the south who we're
present Judge Robinson, the member
from North Carolina, was the only ene
to balk. He indignantly withdrew
from the hall with the remark that
while he was republican he was also
a gentlema0, and his politics did not
go to the extent of social intercourse
of this kind even in view of the exam
pie set at the white house.
All of the other southern repuhli.
cans held their places manfally at the
testal board and took their dish of
coon with seeming good grace, With
the hope, doubtless, that Bose Hanna
will after awhile serve tempting des-
sert in the shape of pie.

AGGRESSIVE INCONSISTENCY.

The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy throughout the south are
adopting resolutions thanking the ma
tional government for recognizing the
right of secession by the unequivocal
stand Mr.. Roosevelt's administration
has taken in the Panama matter.
1t is keen thrust and a telling one
"a master stroke of irony.
The south a few years ago wished to
secede and did so, believing that it had
a right to take such step. Instantly
howl went up from the north. The
south had No right to secede! 1t was
treason! The secessiorists were trait

Cause and Effect.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A clerk in the Sensus Office, young
negro from Alabama, has been sus-
pended, pending an investigation by
Director North, for writing a love
letter" to young white woman clerk
in the same department. The latter
appealed for protection and "became
so i'll that she had to be sent home. "
The writer of the love letter, one
would think, will seek to justify him.

dent dined negro at the white house.
Certainly the relation of the two events

A GROWING INTEREST IN LIVESTOCK

There has been much favorable com

recent organization at Albany OF an
association to promote the raising OF
livestock throughout southwest Geor-

direction is growing. Registered cat

would be hard TO estimate the value
that the introduction of improved
stock has been to the county the past
several years.
But there is yet great deal that
can be done in this direction, and it Is
such organizations as the one that was
recently formed at Albany that will
encourage the people to increase both
the quality and the quantity of their
stock.
