Many Candidates for the County oNce.. sAthens. Sept )-Thls ia little early in the game for politics to be cropping out, but the pot has be- sun to boil in this cousty, and while there are a number of offices to be .fiIl- ed next year, the only ones being dts cussed is that of Probate Jadge, Shertn and Circuit Court Clerk.
 The latest entrance into the arena is the announcement of Ed F. Puryear. who served six years as sheriff, and one as city dispenser. who has stated to his friends that he 10 candidate for Probate Judge.

books now Ia use in this state and re- ceivc the same in exchange for new hooks at a price not tess than 50 per cent of the contract price. Such ex- change period shall not continue longer than one year from the date of con- tract Each person or publisher mak- ing bid for the supply Ing of any book In such bid or proposal the exchange price at which such book or books will be furnished"
 The contract for the supply Of the books used in the public schools at present, was effective September 1. 1908. Under this, the exchange period, during which the old books could be exchanged for new ones closed on Sep tember 1. 1909.
 The contract was for period of six years. For five years therefore, until new contract is made by the Text Book Commission. no books will be ex- changed. The secondhand books will not be taken by the depositories. as many have asoertained within the last few weeks.
 Upon the back of eaci, book sold last fall 10 stamped the contract price. and the exchange price, the latter half of the contract price. Also stamped upon the back of each text book was the declaration:
 "The price fixed heieon is fixed by State contract, and deviations there- from shall be reported to your County Superintendent or the State Superin- tendent at Montgomery
 Taking this as still in force. some people have become bewildered when the textbook agents have refused to take the old books at the exchange price stamped thereon after September l, 1909. The answer. as Superintendent Gunnels or his officials put to the queries. is simply that the exchange season Is over, and that no more, until a new contract is ratified i've years from now, shall school books be taken back.
 A circular letter was distributed by the State Department of Education up- on the adoption of the present contract. in which one section dealt with the ex- change of old books for new ones. The section also set forth that the ex- change season only applied for one year after September 1. 1908. when the contract was made. The circular let- ter said:
 "12. Whenever a chiid is required or desires to purchase a book which has prices. he is entitled u the 50 per cent exchange price, provided he presents g book of like grade as that which he de- sires to purchase and provided, further, that the book which he presents was either in use at the time of the ap- proval of the textbook act August 15. 1907, or in use at the time presented for exchange. This rule applies of course for only one year after Septem- Der l. 1908, and is applicable to both basal and supplementary adoptions."

Unaware of the fact that the period during which school books may be ex- changed has. according to the State Jaw. expired. hundreds of people throughout the State are wondering why 1t Is that the text-book deposito- rfes will not accept their old books as part payment on others.
 Complaints have reached the State Department of Education as to the re- fusal of the agents to take the old books on the exchange basis. In each instance the law is cited by the off, cials.
 The period, during which the con- tract books could be exchanged for new books closed on September l. 1909. and hereafter. during the lime of the pres- ent contract under which the State op- crates, no school books will be taken back by book stores, none will be bought. and none exchanged for new books.
