IRWIN COUNTY PEOPLE
RESTRAINED BY COURT
Ensign-oskamp Company Granted q
Teponoraru InilIncfion

Ensign-oskamp Company Granted a
Temporary Injunction.
Praying for injunction and relief,
a bill has been filled in the United
States court at Macon by the En-
sign Oskamp Lumber Company VS. j,
A. j. Henderson, ct al, of Irwin county.
The case involves the title of some
saw mill timber ON certain lots OF
land in Irwin country. The amount
involved is about $4,000.
1t seems that numerous transact
ions, the details of which would prove
tedious, have been made relative to
the property, and the compliments
who purchased the timber allege that
their rights and privileges are being
infringed upon by the defendants in
the case, one of whom was the orig
inal owner.
Judge Speer has signed tempo
rary restraining order and set the
case for hearing on December /.

TO STOP WORK ON STREETS
UNTIL AFTER JANUARY
Work Has Been Completed to Monk
and Newcastle.

Work Has Been Completed to Monk
and Newcastle.
The work of paving Newcastle
street with Augusta gravel will now
be discontinued until after January
first, when, it is hoped, the work will
be resumed and the street paved on
to- the park.
Newcastle, from G to Monk, is now
the best paved street in the city. The
mixture of Augusta gravel and oyster
shells, which is the material suggest
ed by Alderman Newman, makes an
excellent paving and it was hoped that
the street would be completed to the
park before it was stopped.
Alderman Newman yesterday, in
conversation with News reporter,
stated that the work would now be
discontinued, and before the next block
is paved, he said, the property owners
would have to- do considerable work.
The sidewalks in some places VIII
have to be raised an inch or two and
other improvements are needed 1t is
thought that the city will take up the
work again as soon as possible.

THE STATE AND SCHOOL BOOKS
Belief That Second Bidding viii Re-
suit In Lower Prices.

Atlanta, Nov. 24-The officials at
the capital have every reason to be-
lieve that the state board of education
did a wise thing when it asked for a
second bid from the book concerns.
Popular impression seems to be that
there was a combination among the
book men before, the combine is now
broken and it is thought that the
state will get books at much lower
figure.
Few, if any Of he book men, have
left the city, and numbers of them
are at the state house every day for
the purpose of watching each other.
The members of the state board of ed
ucation give them a cordial reception
but decline to discuss books with
them. Several bids on the new deal
have already been filed and several
others are holding distance.
It looks like the second bidding will
be as hotly contested as the first.
