NEW PLAN FOR THE SOUTH.
Georgia Democrats Would Have
Electors Chosen by Legislatures.

ATLANTA, Ga. November 12.-W. w.
Osborne, one of the leading democrats Of
Georgia. is promoting a plan which he
thinks will achieve the souths political in
, dependence and make it real factor in
national affairs.
Osborne thinks the south with its 166
electoral votes should withdraw from ma
tional conventions in the future and have
nothing to do with the nomination Of the
candidates.
The electors. Ne thinks, should be chosen
by the state legislatures and should be
uninstructed They would hold the bal
ance of power. he believes and would
thus be enabled to command for the
south consideration and respect, which,
he says. are now lacking.
Osborne says:
Commercially, the east and the west
are natural enemies; they will come into
the electoral college with their hands on
each others threats. The south, free of
entangling alliances, will have the bal
ance of power and command peace OF
either beligerent and on its own terms.
Under such conditions not only will the
south have seat at the national council
board but 1t can have any place ii wants,
even the head of the table"

ultimo, stating that the board of educa-
ton is dissatisfied with the personnel of
two of the committees organized by order
of the Commissioners for the inspection
of public school buildings for investiga-
ton as to their safety against fire. panic
and insanitation. the Commissioners have
to reply that they are unable to agree
with the board of education that the per-
sonnet of those committees should be
changed, as suggested in your letter.
AT the next meeting, it was announced
an amendment to the rules of the board
will be proposed, changing the time of the
meeting from the second and fourth
Wednesdays in the month to the first and
third Wednesdays. This change is urged
by the District auditor to facilitate the

Control of Foot Ball Games.


The question of the control by the board
of education and by the physical direct
ors over high school foot ball games was
called up by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey.
1.-The physical directors in the nigh
schools ought to attend the games and
have some control over the members OF
the teams In determining whether they
are In fit physical condition to enter
games" Supt. Stuart said.
The matter was referred TO Mle superlh-
tendent for action.
A discussion Of the new portable schools
followed. Supt. Stuart reported that sew
araI appeared to be practically ready for
occunancy and Vice President COX sug-
eested that the board ought to learn from
the District officials just when they Will
DO ready, and whether they are safe for
use by children.
IT notice that a letter has come from
the secretary to the District Commission
ers in which he says the portable build
inps are a menace to the old buildings.
Mr.. Cox explained. Il think 1t would be
well to find out II they are dangerous
The reading Of DR.. Tindall letter fol-
lowed. 1t set forth that the portable
school buildings ARE a menace to the
main buildings in case of fire." AT the
suggestion Of Vice President Cox, DR..
Tindal, will be asked to explain more
definitely.
Annual Collections Authorized.

emit the annual Thanksgiving and Christ

Mrs. Terrell Asks Question.

why do children in the fourth, fifth
and sixth grades have to carry home all
their books on nights when night schools
are in session. Mrs. Terrell asked. II
think it is great hardship for little tots
nine and ten years old to carry eight or
ten books many blocks. l think the
teachers could provide for caring for the
books in the buildings
1t Is not general to have that done in
well conducted schools" Supt. Stuart re-
piled.
Il don't care to name the school l had
reference to now, because / regard it as
a well conducted school," Mrs. Terrell
added. Supt. Stuart will remedy the mat
ter.
Vice President Cox explained that men,
bers of the board and school officials are
making efforts to find suitable store
house for school supplies, and added that
as soon as one is located the supplies will
be moved from the overcrOwded Frank
lin building.
The Commissioners announced in a let
ter that steps have been taken to change
the doors of the Bruce School SO that
they will open out instead OF in.
Decline to Change Committees.
BY another letter the Commissioners
declined to change the personnel Of the
special committees on fire dangers and
sanitation, to which the board objected.
The reply of the Commissioners follows:

it requires to deliver a letter mailed In
one part OF New York city to the ad-

ters may be easily discern'd-viz,
whether 1t be really In the Office or
their own servants Tor others with
whom letters are left"
In course Of time other English cities
had local penny post services. Then
came Rowland Hill, who In the first
half OF the nineteenth century entirely
reformed the postal system by obtain
ing the introduction OF prepaid postage
In the form OF adhesive stamps and the
governmental sanction of a fee Of a
penny for a half ounce letter for any
distance in the United Kingdom. For
merly 1t had been the custom to collect
the fee from the person who received
the letter. This, being often a hard
ship, served to discourage letter writ
Ing. With the change the total number
Of letters circulated in the United King
dom jumped from 75,907.572 In 1889
to 16S. .76S, ,344 In the following year. In
the year ended March 81 last the
number Of letters interchanged in the
United Kingdom was approximately
8,140, ,226,O0O.
The next step obviously in the cam
paign for penny postage was to obtain
international letter transportation at
that rate. Elihu Burritt, the learned
blacksmith" Of Connecticut, urged
Great Britain to undertake to trans
port half ounce letters from British
port overseas to any port touched by
vessels flying her flag for a penny
Then followed the plea for universal
penny postage. The accomplishment of
Oct. 1, 1908, gave a mighty impetus to
this programme. 1t is now possible to
mail In Manila a letter destined fol
London weighing an ounce with a two
cent stamp attached, and it Will be de-
livered without further payment OF
postage.

MORGAN MINIATURES.
MlIIionaire's Splendid Gift TO the L.
brary Of Congress.

MIIIionaIre's Splendid Gift TO the IL
brary Of Congress.
The library Of congress received
within the last few days a rare and
beautiful git from ]. Pierpont Morgan
Of New York in the three volume cata-
logue Of his collection Of miniatures.
The books had been heralded in some
Of the English periodicals and in cable
dispatches from London. which aroused
expectant interest In the United States.
These messages have not been ade-
quate to describe the actual beauty and
sumptuousness Of the work.
The books have been compiled by
DR.. G. G. Williamson, who Is one Of the
most noted Of miniature experts. and
the miniatures In the collection have
been copied under his supervision at
Hampstead. The books were privately
printed by Mr.. Morgan at the Chlswick
Press, and OF this edition de luxe only
twenty copies were printed, of which
the library copy is No. IL. The queen
OF England and President Roosevelt
were the first to receive similar gifts.
The books are covered by plush lined
boxes, and they are deposited In the
prints division, where they are kept in
the special cases designed for treas
ures.
The books are bound In white vellum
with a hand hammered oxodized silver
shield In the center of each. The cor
ners and clasps are also silver OF the
most beautiful design. On these shields
and corners are tiny initials and mono
grams OF some OF the artists represent
ed in the work. One Of the volumes.
containing miniatures by Richard Cos
way, Is ornamented by heart shaped
shield outlined with delicate silver rib
bon scroll and vine, a facsimile of
Richard Cosway's autograph in blue
enamel written across the center The
small initials in the corners are also
blue, the whole decoration Of this vol
ume being lighter In design.
OF the two others one is decorated In
the French style Of the seventeenth
century. and the third is copied from a
medieval volume in the Vatican IT,
brary.
Two more volumes are to be added,
and it is expected two years will be re-
uulred TO complete the work
