Interest Increasing
For Cheaper
School Books,

Atlanta, Oct. 11-W lille the
school book commission is at work
under the McCrory resolution, in
terest is increasing daily Ill the
possibility of securing cheaper
school books for the children OF
Georgia, and a strong sentiment
is growing in favor of the state
publication plan.
Hon. Grover G. Edmondson,
representative from Brooks coun-
ty is quoted in an interesting IN
teryiew on the subject, N the
course of which ne says:
"While the question did not of
its own necessity, require an In
vestigation by commission, yet
we confidently expect a report
that will convince the Legislature
that the suggested plan of state
publication of school books is not
only practical but necessary.
THE opposition to cheaper
school books .emanates from a
scarce not altogether satisfactory
to the people of Georgia, and If
the people become convinced that
the known opposition of the school
book trust to cheaper books die
tates the attitude of certain pub
lie officials, they will hand them a
dose of political ostracism. 1t is
right that such officials be rebuk-
ed and that such mercen&rY mo-
tives be repudlated by che people
of the state.
"The despicable attitude of the
rules committee, headed by Speak
er BurwelI, in throttling the Nc
Crory bill at the last session of
the legislature, is a lasting sham e
and disgrace. Let US hope that
it will not be repeated this sum
mer.

WOrId-FamOuS
Golfers Play
In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Oct. II Hundreds of
golf enthusiasts young and old
from the membership of the At
Ianta Athletic Club and the Capt.
tai City club motored out through
beautiful D. uid Hills to Est Lake
this morning to see Vardon and
Ray, the world-famous champions,
establish new record for the
East Lake Links.
The two great golfers began
their match against Maiden and
Mann, the local professionals, at
1890 O'Clock, to 60 SO holes, or
twice round the course. While
the Atlanta men were no match
for their famous rivals, they played
splendid golf from the first and
made the match interesting. 1t is
doubtful if either Vardon or Ray
will break the record of the East
Lake course, which is SO for the
eighteen holes, or Is strokes be.
low DOGGY and several strokes be-
low par. This record was made
one phenomenal afternoon by
Maiden and has never been dupli-
Gated even by him.
Prominent in the gallery were
nearly all the amateur champions
an d folmerchsmpions of this SEC
ton. George Adair, Atlanta's
foremost amateur golfer and pres
ent champion of the club, was a
prominent figure, and is helping
entertain the distinguished visitors
Although the visitors will play
again tomorrow on the Brook
haven course. the chief interest
centers in the match today because
East Lake is by far the Older and
finer course of the two.

Bracing fall weather with general
ly fair skies are promised the
greater part of the country for the

Last Continent
Has Been Found

Washington, Oct. IL. Mem
bers of the National Geographic
society said here today that the
reported Russian discovery of a
continent 500 miles north of
Asia, if true, would be the last
great discovery of land. They
pronounced it the most import
ant discovery within the arctic
circle in the last century.
The report from St. Michaels,
Alaska, that Commander Wilt
sky, in command Of the Russian
government steamers Taimyr
and Waygatch. had arrived there
and announced the discovery of
the body of land as large as
Greenland extending beyond
latitude 81 north and longitude
102 east, came as a distinct sur
prise to members of the society.
1t was known that the Russian
government for years had pur-
sued a survey in the Siberian
ocean but no word had reached
that of a regular exploring expe-
dition into the frozen north. The
section north of Canada, Alaska
and Siberia long has been regard
ed as an inviting field for inves-
tigation, however, and the Cana
dian government sent Viljhalmal
Stefansson into the area last
summer on a three-year eXpe.

The sampler of the Chamber
lain Ore Company is still running 6
at full blast. The shipm ents of ore
for the month of Septem Der showed
an increase of about eighty per-
cent over that of the correspond
ing month in Septembe of last
year while the amount paid out
during the month of Septem-
an increase OF about seventy FIVE
percent over the amount paid out
in September of last year. Super
intendent Fred D. Wiley inform
us that last month was the best
shipper for many years with the
exceptions of the years l9o4-5.
For several months there has
been a decided increase ia the
ore shipments over former years
and the favorable conditions are
increasing with each months.
With the prospects of other mines
entering the shipping class and
with new prospects opening up
there is no cause for discourage
ment. Mining is surely coming
back and to stay in this camp.

Coast to Coast Highway
Meeting at Lincoln,
Nebraska

This name was adopted at the
meeting for the consideration of
four road associations. The Rock
Road of Ill.," the River to Riv-
er" of Iowa, the "Omaha-Lincoln
aud Denver, of Neb., and the Mid
land Trail of Colorado and Utah.
The official sign will be a ban d
of white IS inches wide with
black c in the center.
The campaign outlined will be
one of publicity and advertising,
The object of the meeting was
not to destroy the identity Of the
separate organizations but to unite
them into one body working for
the best road from. Chicago to Salt
Lake,
Each State was allowed four di-
rectors on the Executive Board.
Major Jones of Sterling. DIR.
Bartlett of Denver, Father McCabe

Grand Junction were selected from
Colorado.
Eventually, it is the intention
to unite with roads running eas'
probably via Detroit, Cleveland
Buffalo, across the state of New
York and down the Hudson tc
New York City.
The enthusiasm displayed at the
meeting was unbounded. Over
two thousand dollars was paid in
as donations and membershi ?
fees in one meeting
The keynote of the meeting
seemed to be a determination tc
build such a road from Chicago to
Utah tha: would compel tourists
to travel this route because it was
the best.
Colorado came in for its share
Of praise for the part it has taken
in the good roads movement. Sew
eral of the delegates had visited
our state and did not hesitate to
say that our state was the magnet
by which they expected to draw
tourists over the Coast to Coast
highway.

sound all right when a republican

lecting a successor, the political
activity in the past and the 10y

is what counts. Congressman
