M'CRORY WAGES
CAMPAIGN FOR
CHEAPER BOOKS
IN INTEREST OF The PUBLIC
Georgia Held Up By ExhOr.
bitant Prices

Hon. Charles R. McCrory, repre-
sentative from Schley county in the
general assembly, was we'll known
visitor in Americas yesterday and is
as enthusiastic as ever in the campaign
he is making for cheaper school books
for use in the public schools of Geor-
eia and which made him a central fig
ure in the recent session.
Backed by facts and figures, and
with legal evidence as we'll, Mr.. Nc
Crory is thoroughly convinced of the
righteousness of the fight he is max
ing in behalf of every one of the six
hundred thousand Georgia pupils in
the public schools.
Georgia is taxed too heavily for
school books, as compared with prices
charged for identically the same books
fL other states" said Col McCror?.
1--WE need new deal"
Mr.. McCrory as a member of the leg
islative committee appointed to look
into the purchase of books for the next
year, will go to Atlanta today to at
tend a meeting of that committee To-
morrow and results looking to the BET
terment of conditions now existing and
long continued, are hoped for
The position of Representative Nc
Crory upon this most important matter
CT cheaper school books, is, well known.
He made gallant fight at the recent
session of the legislature, and while
the odds were then against him, the
subject will come up in the next gen.
eral session.

than one-half the price charged in
Georgia by the same publishers for
the same text books There is no con-
sistency in this. This fact, and others,
will be presented to the committee III
meeting tomorrow.
Mr.. McCrory's cause is gaining
strength every day. 1t is a fight fo''
the children of Georgia, whose parents
are forced to pay the most exorbitant
prices for books that should and could
Re sold and which, are sold elsewhere,
for less money.

SULzER MAKES
GENERAL denial
OF ALL CHARGES
TWO.THIRDS VOTE CONVICTS
Files His1 Answer With I'm.
pedChmGnt Court.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 24.-Final de-
cision on the defense's objections to
including the money articles" of i'm
peachment in the consideration of the
case of Governor William Sulzer, will
not be given until all testimony has
been taken. The court voted 49 to :
today to follow this procedure. Those
voting no were all democrats.
Governor Suffers answer to the
eight articles of impeachment filed
with the court today entered a gen.
eral denial to each and every one Of
them.
The vote to reserve decision follow
ed an opinion delivered by Presiding
Judge Cullen advising that the merits
of the objections of counsel for the
governor to the articles be not de-
cided at this time.
I do not think it is WISE" ne sale,
"to decide this case piecemeal"
Immediately following the roll call
the governors counsel was called
upon to enter answer to the charges.
These were read rapidly by Clerk
McCabe. In them the governor de-
clared that he had filed his campaign
statement Sin good faith"
Eugene Lamb Richards, of counsel
for the prosecution, then opened the
case against the impeached execu-
tive.
After arguing that this case ought
not to be decided piecemeal," Judge
Cullen said:
"In court of impeachment a vote
of two-thirds is necessary to convict.
A decision on this question would
only require a majority vote, while a
minority, greater than one-thirt,
might decide the other way"
How then, will the case be dis
posed of? l should prefer to ha, 9
ample time to reflect on the argu-
ments here presented by counsel, and
to look up the authorities cited.
Therefore, l should desire that this
question be left open until the final
vote on the guilt or innocence of the
respondent.
"In support of that desire, l, under
the power vested in me by the rules
of this court, shall overrule the OBJ :
lection pro forma, without any ex-
preston Of opinion on the merits OF
the case"
In accordance with the judges ruling
Majority Leader Wagner, of the
senate, moved that the final decision
be left open, and that the request IT
respondents counsel be denied merely
as a matter of form, without prejudice
to the merits of the question being
passed upon at later date. The
motion was then passed.
Decision of the high court of i'm
peachment in the trial of Villa n
Sulzer, governor of New York, as 20
whether the articles of impeachment
relating to the governors money
deals should enter into the testimony
was recognized today as the crucial
point in the preliminary work of the
trial.

CURRENT YEAR
FIFTEEN MILLS The FIGURE.
New Rate the Same as That
Last Year

The city council in meeting last night
fixed the tax rate for the current year,
1918, and as the ordinance was read the
second time under suspension of ths
rules the measure is now effective. The
rate this year is the same as that for
1912, which was fifteen mills, or IL
per cent.
The amount was apportioned in the
usual manner, viz, one-half of one per
cent for general expenditures; ons-
half of one per cent. for schools, and
one-half of one per cent for payment
of bonds falling due.
This rate of $150 per $100, or SIS
per $1,000, is based upon the returned
valuation of city property, which ag-
gregates $4,225,OOO. With the rate thus
levied, City Clerk H. w. Weaver is
ready this morning to attend to the
rush of callers desiring to pay taxes.

TONS|L|TiS MAKES
CHILDREN STUPID
Health Board Issues Bulletin Urg.
ing Parents to Take Precaution.
Operations Recommended.

If one of your children is back
get a physician 70 look at it's tonsils
at once, is the advice given by
the Georgia State Board of Health,
in a bulletin issued Thursday. The
whole trouble may be there. A
chronic or acute disease OF the tonsils
is serious and dangerous.
The enlarged tonsils may perma-
nently stunt the child's physical
growth and retard it's mental devel-
opment. The State Board of Health
urges parents whose children are so
suffering to have them examined and
operated on, if necessary, by skilled
physician or surgeon.
Operations in nearly all cases re-
suit in complete cures, while failure
to operate may leave an otherwise
normal child stupid and sickly
through life.
Injustice to Sufferer.
Many a boy or girl has been put
down as lazy and good for moth
ing" and has been unjustly pun
ished at home and at school, when
the real trouble was nothing but en-
larged tonsilS.
Children suffering in this way some
times have been considered half-witted
because of the open hanging mouth and
silly expression. which often results
from the INSTRUCTED passages in the
throat and nose-their whole life married
for the lack of comparatively simple
operation.
The parent who fails to inquire into
such symptoms and to have the child
properly treated is guilty of neglect that
is almost criminal.
is Contagious Disease
The second most important thing for
the public to realize about tonsiitis,
says the board. is the fact that acute
tonsilitis is contagious. and that per
sons suffering from it should be iso-
lated and some precautions taken to
prevent its spread, as is done in case
of other contagious diseases.
one case of acute tonsilitis may not
Justify an operation. 1t is In chronic
cases or in cases where the acute form
recurs frequently that operations are
absolutely necessary.
In addition to the acute and chronic
there is also a third common form of
the disease, called suppurative tonsilitis
or quinsy.

COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-Infiuenced by
much higher cables than due and heavy
rains in the western belt, the cotton
market opened steady to-day, with first
prices at net advance of o to 8 points
from last nights close. The trading
was small and the ring was inclined to
realize. Everybody who had a profit
tried to realize, thinking the market
would be stronger, and the result was
a break of SOC to 15c a bale during
the forenoon. Offerings, however, were
readily absorbed by bull leaders. Some
of the large spot houses were credited
with buying. but som brokers who usu-
ally represent these interests were no.
ticeable on the selling side.
In conservative quarters it is not be-
lieved hat the decline will go very far,
believing that the damage from frost
las been far worse than people raj
IT, and the worlds needs will be far in
excess of the production.
NELL Bros. estimated the worlds con-
sumption at 14,S33,000 bales. But that
did not meet with any response here
in the early trading However, great
many traders have figured that with
such frost news as was received, all
hopes of large top-crop has been de-
stroyed and the ultimate returns will
not be sufficient to satisfy the require
ment.
During the late forenoon the market
steadied, through renewed buying by
those who supported and purchased the
market Wednesday, resulting in prices
recovering most of the early decline,
basd on an unsettled weather condition
