TEXT BOOKS WILL NOT
BE CHANGED IN CHATHAM.
Law Providing for Uniform Text
Books Does Not Effect This County.

LAW Providing for Uniform Text
Books Does Not Eject This County.
The recent law passed in the last
Legislature relative to. the regulation
of text books in the public schools of
the state will in no wise effect the
books now used in the schools in Chat
ham county. In fact the law will be
of benefit to the parents of school
children, in that they will get the bene-
fit of the reduction in prices that will
be granted by tha publishers for books
selected by the state board for the
counties not having their own school
governments.
The state Board of Education is
composed of the state house officers,
Gov. Terrell being chairman, and 1t
is provided in the bill on uniform text
books that the state board shall dp-
point five practical educators of the
state for the purpose of making out
list of all the school books arranged
in the order of their fitness. The books
will be placed into classes, and from
this information and the opinions fur
nished by the five practical educators,
the state board will select the text
books that will be used in the schools
of the state where the local school
governments do not exist.
The publishers, whose books will be
accepted will be required to make
much lower rate than Is now charged
for books used. Beyond a doubt many
of the books now used in the Chatham
county system win be selected. and
Supt. Ashmore has been notified that
the patrons of the schools here will
receive the benefits of the reduction
of. prices that will be required of the
publishers.
1t is provided in the bill regulating
the use of books in the public schools
that the board complete their work
of selection by Jan. l.

Man Claiming 10 BE Lawyer Arrested
at Pensacola.
j. H. Stanley, alias L. ]. Tippin,
claiming to be a lawyer. was arrested
in Pensacola Saturday on charge Of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The man stated that he came
from Savannah.
Among other things, he presented a
check for $40 on the Citizens Bank Of
Savannah. The check was not cashed,
but the Savannah bank was com
municated with. Word was sent TO
Pensacola that Stanley is unknown
here and has no account with the bank.
The Citizens Bank officers know moth
ing else about the matter.
Nothing is known in this city about
the following from the Pensacola
News:
"It was learned this morning that
Stanley figured in an exciting little
matrimonial setto, and had to leave
Savannah rather suddenly. He is said
to have married in the Georgia city
much against the will of the girl s
father, and the old gentlemen Shout
dered a gun and went TO look for his
new son-in-law. Not wishing to ex-
pose himself before a loaded gun, he
got out of Savannah very quickly,
eventually landing In New Orleans.
Thence he went to Mobile and OBJ
tanned the $23, later drifting to Pensa-
cola. The woman accompanied him
and is in the city at present. She is
said to be very young woman of re-
fined appearance. She seems to take
her husbands arrest as a matter to
be expected
Neither j. H. Stanley nor L. ]. Tip
pin appear in the City Directory, and
the police know nothing of any man
bearing either name. The marriage
records in the Court of Ordinary do
not show that ]. H. Stanley has been
married here within the last year.

CIGARETTE SMOKER
CAUSED COSTLY BLAZE.
Dropped Lighted Match on Moving
Picture Films.

Dropped Lighted Match on Moving
Picture Films.
The Tipping of a lighted match at
the Casino late Sunday night is re-
sponsible for the burning of a barrel
of moving picture films valued at more
than 500. And a cigarette caused the
striking of the match.
The new films that were secured for
use this week had been shown for the
first time during the evening. They
had been rolled and placed in a barrel
and the crowd was leaving the Casino
for the city. Some one in the crowd
lighted a cigarette and threw the burn
ing match carelessly aside. 1t fell in
to the barrel of films.
The films are very inflammable and
were burned in minute. The fire &C.
casioned no excitement and but few of
those who had seen the pictures a
short while before knew of the fire.
The identity of the man who caused
the fire could not be learned. Other
films were secured yesterday and the
moving picture machine was in oper-
alton last night. The films that were
burned were exceptionally good.

elapsed since the beloved Pontiff's
death. Following the celebration of
the mass the prayers Of absolution

keep it's contract with the city.
For two or three months citizens

nothing has been done towards putting
the streets in shape.
Acting Mayor Dixon has had the

asphalt people when the contract with
the city was made
Every assurance was given Mayor
Myers before his departure from the
city that the streets would be put in
shape by the middle of August. This
promise has been brought to the atten-

further delay or if there is, that some
body besides the public will suffer.
