the novel Idea of George Harker. an

adopted by an Australian sugar

Dear Brother Watson:
think the sham battle has cleared
the way for Populism as the Demo
cratic party is dead. Let us have
conference soon. If you accept the
nomination, there is Dixon or Will

others, second place--a good man from

SUGGESTION AS TO SCHOOL
BOOKS.

Calhoun, Ga, R. T. d. No. 5,
January 20, 1909.
Hon. I. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: have just finished read
ing your editorial on the school book
change and endorse it in the main,
but would it not be better for the state
to purchase printing press and print
all the school books?
think this would be even better
than the plan you suggest letting
the printing by contract.
If | remember correctly, [ read some
years ago that Indiana let her con-
tract to print to private firm, and
first readers were to be printed at
five cents apiece. Ny best recollec-
ton is that Indiana ordered one mil
lion first readers printed and that the
publisher acknowledged to clearing
profit of thirty-fve thousand dollars,
thereby showing that they could have
been printed for three and one-half
cents each, actual cost
Now, [ think that the state could
soon save enough on the printing to
pay foE the press.
Would it not be better to let the
state place the school books in the
hands of bonded book stores, and re-
quire the bookseller to sell them at
cost, plus ten per cent for handling,
etc, than to furnish them free?
[ fear that to furnish them free,
there would be even less care taken of
them than now.
Yes, every candidate for either
branch Of our legislature should be
publicly put on record on this as we'll
as other questions concerning the pub
lie welfare, and then our governors
should really go before the people
and tell on the members of the general
assembly when they do not carry out
their pledges instead Of threatening
to do SO, and then endorsing them in
an effort to get to the u. S. Senate
Respectfully,
j. M. Christian.
ed. Note: State-work is so apt to
let in the CRATER. Remember South
Carolina Dispensary. Besides, there
would be less opposition to the plan
if the book-printing is to let out to
lowest bidder. T. E. W.

at noon to consider several questions, the
most important being changing the sched-
,de to conform with taking Sunbury into
the league. The questions of holding back

vent jumping was discussed. President J.
w Dobbins was enthusiastic over the
outlook. He stated that all the clubs had
been considerably handicapped by bad
weather, but that they would all be able
TO pull through. He was against taking
I'm two Kew York towns and making the
league ten-team circuit.
The action in admitting Sunbury TO the
league was ratified. A protested game be-
tween Mt. Carmel and Sunbury was or
dered to be played over again. Mt Carmel
