 2. Same: local law; what constitutes substance of proposed law to be in- cluded in notice-The substance of a proposed local law, which Section 10G of the Constitution requires to be in- cluded In the notice to be given by publication. as a prerequisite to the passage by the legislature of such local law means the essential and material parts and essence of said proposed law or an abstract or compendium thereof. such as would give the people of the State fair information of what the law is and any notice which does not con- tain such information regarding the proposed law, Is insufficient

 Application for mandamus-Appeai
 from the City Court of Birming-
 ham.
 1. Statute establishing uniform series of text books; confers exclusive right on publishers to furnish oooks.- Under the provisions of the statute ap- proved March 4. 1903 (Acts of 1903, p. i67) establishing uniform series Of text books to be used by the public free schools of the State, the publishers or the books that have been adopted by the Text Book Commission for use in the public free schools and who have en- tered into contract with the State 10 furnish such books, are given the ex- elusive privilege of supplying the books so adopted by the State Text Book com mission to the pupils and patrons or the public free schools of the State;' and, therefore, books purchased from persons other than such publishers or through the channels established by them Jas provided by law. can not be used by pupils in the public schools or the State,
 z. Same; same; same-Under such statute, 1t is an indispensable prere- qufsfte to authorize books to be used by the pupils in the public free schools or the State, that the printing with reference to the price, etc, as provided for in Sections and II of the act, should appear on and in the book.
 3. Same; such law does not create a monopoly in violation of the constitu- tion,--The act approved March 4, 1903, (Acts of 1903. p. 167), authorizing the adoption and establishment of uni form series of text books to be used in the public free schools of the State, and conferring upon the publishers of the books adopted by the State Text Book Commission the exclusive privi- lege of supplying said books, does not violate the provisions of the constitu- ton against monopolies. (Const. 1901. Art. l, Sec. 22); since the purpose of the statute is not to confer any pecu- niary benefit upon the State or school officials or publishers, but to confer a benefit upon the public.
 4. Same; same-The fact that the State is not bound by a contract au- thorized to be made by said statute giv- ing a. publisher the right to furnish all the text books used in the public free schools of the State. does not make the privilege, invalid, so as to relieve a school teacher from liability in violat- ing the provisions of the statute by using unauthorized text books or text books which had not been purchased from the publishers or from some one of their established agencies
 5. Same; not vioiative of Section 45 of constitution.-The said act is not violative of Section 45 of the constitu- ton, which requires that leach law shall contain but one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in it's title;" every provision of the statute being germane and complementary to the sub Ject expressed in the title and neces- sary for the accomplishment of the purposes of said act.
 6. Same; not violative of interstate commerce.-Said statute does not con- travene the provisions of the interstate commerce law.
 Affirmed.
