GEO, ", DONACHEY
FOR GOVERNOR
How He Stands as Regards the
Farmers EduCdtiVe and Co.
Operative Union.

From my observation the
success of this organization is
almost phenomenal and unprece-
dented in the history of any or
ganization instituted by the
farmers. The southern states
especially should be congratu-
lated upon its advent. For a
quarter of century the products
of our fields have gradually been
decreasing in price while the
manufactured goods from the
same material have almost con-
|tinually increased in price. We
have sold for whatever we We're
Rptfered and have paid the maxi
bnum price for the same material
Hhat an unscrupulous seller could
&sk. Now, however, under the
ao-operative system adopted by
Ahis organization, prices are reg
Allated until a profitable level has
been reached. The future for
8ar welfare along this line looks
Indeed bright. Not only should
\ he farmer feel in better spirits,
8ut the business man as well.

SINGLE LIST OF
BOOKS AT LAST
Clamor of Public and Press Is
Needed BY State Board
of Education.

The newspapers of the state clam
ored for the single list of school
books, and kept up the clamor until
finally the State School Board has.
at recent meeting adopted a single
list OF text books for the entire state.
\ few exceptions were allowed i'm
favor of certain cities, it is stated,
where single list was not just the
best.
The action on tine part OF the State
Board Will save 10 the book buyers
and patrons of the schools, who for
the most part are not rich men,
thousands Of dollars each year. The
state has paid for years exorbitant
prices for school books--just why
this imposition was practiced and
so long continued Is question. Ger
tainly someodbysomewehere has been
coining money Mt the expense of the
poor children OF the state. The pub
lie generally will commend and ap-
prove the action OF the State Board.

Funeral of Col. Graham.

The funeral and burial ceremonies
of the late Col. w. l.. Graham were
held at the old home on Monday at
2 p. m. The Masons had charge.
Rev. S. o. Hall conducted a brief
service at the house.
A large crowd of friends and ac-

sections.
A feature of the occasion was a
brief address delivered at the grave
by Capt. a. j. Tynes. He spoke to
the old comrades present, many of
whom had been intimately associated
with the deceased during the late
war. Capt. Tynes' address was ap-
propriate and touching. The entire
ceremony was a fitting tribute to the
character and worth of this old citi-
zen and soldier.
