A STATE CAPITOL SENSATION
ALLEGED TO HAVE DEVELOPED
& ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS.
A Split in the Commission, and Some
Passages of Severity Between Gov
ernOr and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

"A 0phC III the COMMISSION, and Some
Passages of Severity Between Gov
ernOr and AttOrney-GeneraI.
An Atlanta special to the Savan-
nah News says there is considerable
gossip at the capitol anent an alleged
sensational incident which is said to
have transpired in the meeting of
the state school book commission.
which has under consideration the
matter of new text books for the com
mon schools.
The Tumor, which has it that the
commission was divided three to two
on many matters, particularly, where
the substitution of books was con-
cerned, was recently published in the
Macon Telegraph, and is said to have
provoked warm correspondence be-
tween Governor Smith and Editor C.
r. Pendleton of that paper. Accord
ing TO the report Governor Smith
and State School Commissioner
Pound are said to have composed the
minority and Attorney General Hart.
Secretary of State Philip Cook and
Controller General Wright the ma
jority.
Discussions pro and con are said to
have been carried on with some lit
tie asperity, with passage of some
severity between the governor and
Encouragement.
The claim is made that the situa-
ton grew out of the minority's op-
position to the books of a certain
publishing house, while the majority
protested against the effort to make
any more changes than were abso-
lutely necessary on account Of the
expense to the people.
None of the members of the COM
mission will talk about it, but that
something happened seems apparent
from the manner in which they seek
to put aside discussion of the sub
ject.

hundreds Of Iaborers are now engag-
ed in the construction of an elevated
railroad.
For sometime past these men have
been picking up in the mud of the
excavation coins of small value, and
there is hardly a man who has not
collected fair share of this cur
rency. The coins belonged to the
commonplace variety usually reserv-
ed for street beggars to drop into
the gigantic collection boxes placed
at the entrances to Buddhist tenn
pies, and for the aims boxes of char
table institutions.
A few days ago the mystery was
solved. 1t appears that proprietors
of tea houses and their employees
are wont to repair to this neighbor-

small coins into the excavations

RIDERS IN THREE
SOUTHWEST GEORGIA COUNTIES
From the Savannah News.

A dispatch from Albany, Ca,
which We publish this morning
states that in a section of country
ten miles square, covering portions
of Mitchell, Baker and Calhoun coun-
ties, every negro church and school
house was burned by night riders.
That is deplorable state of affairs.
The night riders could not have been
composed of responsible citizens, be-
cause good citizens wouldn't engage
n such lawlessness. Besides, they
know that such lawless acts will de-
stroy the efficiency of labor and are
likely to provoke retaliation. The
offenders must be persons who have
nothing at stake and who are there
fore Indifferent as the effect of their
lawless conduct.
A question which presents itself is.
what are the authorities of the three
counties in which the crimes were
committed doing towards discovering
and arresting the offenders. 1t looks
as if the affair might be of such i'm
portance as to justify the governor
in taking a hand in it. If outrages
like this are to go UNPUBLISHED it will
not be long before the night riding
will assume larger proportions, and
white men as well as negroes will
be the victims. The thing to do is
to take hold of this instance of law
lessness with a firm hand and by

out the evil at once.

have been two assaults on women
