CAPTAIN COBB
ATTENDS FAIR

The Macon Telegraph carries the fol-
lowing article about Captain John A.
Cobb of Americas, who is a visitor in
Macon during the fair Captain Cobb
stands high in the estimation of the
people of the state, and anything about
him is read with interest. The article
from the Macon paper is: -. $50.
The Farmers Opportunity.
Capt. John A, Cobb, who always
takes profound interest in what per-
tains to agricultural development,
says: Il am pleased with the fair. It's
a good education to study these ex-
hibits. 1t is the farmers opportunity
for information. We all desire To-
stop the drain from the farm to the
cities. To make the farm more at
tractive it is necessary to show the
possibilities of farming under scientific
methods. Herein is the Importance of
the fair. l wish our young farmers
would study these exhibits and put
into practice the information obtained.
Farming of today calls for knowledge.
There is disposition to, go back to
the soil. The high cost of living has
revived interest in the farm. The State
Agricultural society has always inter
ested me. l have been officially con
nected with it since 1858. | am very
proud of the work done by John I
Williams, president of the State Ayr
cultural society, and by julius Otto,
president of the State Fair association.
They have given the people an excel
lent fair. Exhibits, for want of space,
are so crowded that they do not show
for their worth. Macon, the geograph-
ical center of the state, and also the
agricultural center, is the place for
fairs

We want to prepare her to do the
greatest thing that was ever intended

Make and keep home.
Our girls are just as capable to be
the women that the men of 1862 call
ed wonderful as they were then.
The school system here is excellent
as far as it goes, but it does not go
far enough Many towns smaller than
Americas have special subjects taught,
for instance, Ashburn, Georgia, has
five special subjects taught: Music
drawing, manual training. domestic arr
and domestic science.
We need little less than $4,000 to
equip and run a domestic science de-
partment, beginning with the first Of
the year until the end of the school
year the last of May.
l certainly feel that the people OF
Americus can afford that, especially
when they are getting results.
You can afford to build those beau
tiful homes, and to keep them going,
and in many cases with the money that
is remaining after all necessary ex-
penditures are made is spent foolishly.
Would it not be better to give a
little of it for a good purpose where
rou were deriving some benefits.
We should build home-makers as
ell as homes. We are in practical
zoe where everything must be of some

What use is a home without some

Efficiency is the end we are striv-

HIGH COURT
TO DECIDE
BOOK CASE

Oklahoma City, July S.--As stated in
the headlines Of the Sunday morning
papers, the book adoption case has
been appealed to the supreme court.
District Judge Carney sustained the
position that Supt, Wilson has always
taken; that the board had the author.
fly to make the adoption last summer
and that that adoption was legal. This
adoption was made by the old board
the day the governor attempted to
remove the members, Judge Clark Of
the district court sustained injunction
proceedings brought by these men but
instead Of appealing this case 10 the
supreme court which would have end
ed the matter in time to prevent any
Inconvenience to the people, a special
session Of the senate was called and
the senate refsued to sustain the gov.
ernor.
The reason Supt Wilson and the
board members insisted on making the
adoption last summer was that expert
enee had proved that it takes about
twelve months for publishers to print
the books, for them to season rea-
sonable time and be placed on sale
The Law and the contracts provide that
if a book proves to be unsatisfactory
within one year that the board shall
make another adoption Of that text,
If no objection had been raised to the
action Of the board the books would
have been in the hands Of the mer-
chants by this time and II any Of the
books failed to meet the approval Of
the teachers and patrons, new book
would have ben adopted and the buy
er would have had the benefit of two
years exchange price instead of one.
The law providing for uniform
system Of text books was one Of the
most popular laws passed by the first
legislature. Il is known that some Of
the companies do not like such law
and it is charged that the large pub
4 fishers, familiarly known as the book
trust, would rejoice to see this law or
the enforcement OF it made 50 unpop-
ular that il would be repealed, These
companies secured about 85 per cent
of the first adoption made in 1908 and
practically nothing last year This Is
given by some as the real cause Of
the present confusion.
The supreme court will be asked to
advance the case and an early decis-
ion is awaited with great interest by
the book publishers and the school
patrons

SENATE CLERK REVIVED
BY DR.. MARY WALKER

WASHINGTON, u. c., May a.
DIR. Mary Walker. the noted Civil
War nurse, for more than fifty years
a practising physician, and the only
woman in the United States legally
authorized to wear mems clothes,
brought her well-known skill into use
yesterday when she restored Senate
clerk, A. C. Gray, who had fallen in
an epileptic fit in the Senate office
building.
DR.. Walker was apparently the
most self-possessed person in the
throng attracted by the incident. She
applied camphor to the patient nose
and forehead. His friends, however,
insisted that he be taken to hos
pital, and that did not please the
well-known champion of woman's
rights.
