BIC SAVING To STATE IS
SEEN IN ADOPTION OF
NEW SCHOOL BOOK LIST

After a three days deadlock on
Biographies and arithmetics, the
state Board of Education late Thurs
3av afternoon agreed upon a list of
hooks for use in common schools of
Georgia for five years, with the right
,eseryed to the State to cancel all
r6rrYacts upon giving the publishing
houses concerned twelve months no
The commission divided exactly in
half on the two questions at issue,
the Governor Professor Woofter and
Superintendent Britain holding out
or no changes in Biographies and
arithmetiCs at this time, while Messrs.
stead, Moon and Glenn insisted upon
change.
The Governor and his followers
based their stand upon the recon-
meudations of the various subcom-
mittees and uniform reports of county
superintendents as to the satisfactory
status of these books now, and fur
,ner insisted that 1t would be unwise
10 disturb existing conditions to any
great extent, pending a legislative in
yestigation now on with respect 20
the school book situation.
Tic dissenting members of the
board, however held out stubbornly
against that view of the matter, and
eventually won a compromise by sue
caeding in displacing one arithmetic

THANKSGIVING
FATAL To Z
One Boy Killed as Brothers Shot
gun ExpIodes Fatally
Shoots Himself in Accident.

Two Atlanta families were in
mourning Friday as the result of
Thanksgiving hunting tragedies. In
each case the victim was young
lad, and in each case the killing was
accidental.
A shotgun in the hands of young
Basil Bridweil exploded and blew
away the base of skull of his 10
year-old brother Charles, son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Bridwell residing on
the Mayson and Turner road
The accidental discharge Of a rifle
caused the death of l4-year- old
Johnnie Garst, son of James +. Garst,
recently candidate for Recorder.
Brush Pulls Trigger.
The lad was carrying the weapon
himself, and it is believed to have
been fired by catching on the under
brush through which he and his COM
panion, Frank Williams, were MAX
ing their way.
Garst was hunting with William
and other friends in the woods near
Sisson's Crossing about ) o'clock in
the afternoon, William was slightly
in the rear of young Garst. Will
liams was startled by the report of
Garst's rifle. Garst sank to the
ground with a bullet wound in his
abdomen.
The terrified boys called for help
and in a short time the Grady am
bulance was on the scene. The in
jured lad lived for a short time after
his removal to the hospital. expiring
just at the conclusion of an opera
ton.
Boy Dead When Father Arrives.
His father was notified. but not in
time to find the boy alive. He was
frantic with grief, and it was found
necessary to detain him for some
time at the hospital until the vio-
lence of his sorrow subsidized
Basil and Charles Bridwell were
invited on the hunting trip that end
ed fatally for the latter by party
OF boys that passed their house. They
had been unsuccessful in stirring up
any rabbits, and We're gathered
about in a group talking when the
accident took place. Basil was ex-
aiming a gun that belonged to one
of the other boys when it suddenly
exploded.
His younger brother toppled over
onto the ground without even a
scream of agony. The back of his
skull had been torn off by the wea-
pon. When his horror struck COM
panions picked up the little body life
had gone out of it.

matte twinges. The urine is cloudy
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times dur
