HERE ARE THE VOTES THAT
PREVENTED GEORGIA'S SCHOOL
CHILDREN FROM GETTING
CHEAPER BOOKS.

After emasculating the McCrory
school book bill in an even more
thorough manner than the House
did before it was sent to the Sem
ate, the Senate successfully defeated
the bill and all amendments by
adopting Senator Twins free book
substitute and then killing the sub
stitute by vote of % to II.
The session of the Senate was ex-
tended until the matter was dis
posed of and the vote on the bill
by substitute was not reached until
two o'clock. The original bill as
sent from the House was amended
six times. An attempt to amend the
substitute by adding free warm
lunches to the free distribution of
books as provided in Senator r.
wins measure was lost by a vote of
% to 8.
The Irwin substitute which de-
termines the policy of the State as
being in favor of free books through
AN appropriation, was adopted In
lieu of the McCrory bill by a vote
of % to II.
The following is a vote of the
Senators:
Ayes-Brown, Bulloch, Burtz,
Bush, DuBose, Elkins, Ford, HUE.
Irwin, Jones, S. E., Jones, w. W.,
Johnson, McGregor, Mcneil, Miller,
Peyton, Spinks, Stark, Tarver, Tay-
lor, Tyson and Watts-22.
Nays-Allen, Chenault, Dickey,
Foster, Harrell, Hixon, Kea, Kelly,
Lingino, Moore, Parrish, Perry,
Pope, Richardson, Rushin, Searcy,
and SWeat-17.
Lacked One Vote.
Upon the passage of the bill by
substitute one vote was lacked for
the passage of the substitute, the
vote being % to II. President Pro
Tenn. e. L. Smith, who was in the
chair, did not vote and declared the
bill was lost, not having received
the requisite constitutional ma
jority.
The following is the vote of the
Senators:
Ayes-Brown, Bulloch, Burtz, Du-
Bose, Ford, HUE, Irwin, Jones, w.

II Little Stories for Bedtime 4
BUSTER BTAR GIVES 1T AWAY.
(By Thornton w. Burgess.)
Copyright. 1914, by ]. G. Lloyd.)

1t was very plain to see that Old
Man Coyote had quite lost his appe-
ute. 1t was very clear that he wasn't
thinking about his stomach just then.
| but about his legs and how fast they
could go. He had been half way up
the hill when he first saw the terrible
creature without head, tail, or legs
rolling down straight at him. He
stopped only long enough for one
good look and then he started for the
bottom of the hill as fast as he could
make his legs go. Now. it is a very
bad plan TO run down hill. Yes. sir,
1t is very bad plan. You see. once
you are started it is not the easiest
thing in the world to stop. And then
again You are quite likely to stub
your toes.
This is what Old Man Coyote did.
He stubbed his toes and turned COM
plete somersault. He looked so fun
ny that the little scamps Watching
him had all they could do to keep
from shouting right out Old Gran
ny Fox and Reddy Fox, watching
from safe distance, did laugh. Yau
know, they have not been friendly
to live on the Green Meadows. and
as they had themselves had a ter
rihe fright when they first saw the
strange creature they rejoiced in see
ing him frightened.
But Old Man Coyote didn't stop for
"a little thing like tumble. Oh, my,
no! He just rolled over on to his
before Now, there are very few peo-
pie who can see behind them with
out turning their heads as Peter Rab-
bit can, and Old Man Coyote is not
one of them. Trying to watch behind
him. he didn't see where he was go
ing and the first thing he knew he ran
bump into-guess who? Why, Bus
had come from nobody knew. but
there he was as big as life. When
Old Man Coyote ran into him Buster
growled a deep, provoked growl and
whirled around with one big paw
raised to cuff whoever had so nearly
upset him. Old Man Coyote. more
frightened than ever. yelped and ran
harder than before, SO that by the
time Buster Bear saw who 1T was who
had run into him he was safely out
Of reach and still running.
Then 1t was that Buster Bear first
saw the strange creature rolling down
the hill which had so frightened Old
Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Peter
Rabbit. and Mrs. Peter, watching
from safe hiding places, wondered
If Buster would run, too. If he did
1T would he almost too good to be
true. But he didn't. He looked first
at the strange creature rolling down
the hill, then at Old Man Coyote run
ming as hard as could, and his shrewd,
little eyes began to twinkle. Then he
began to laugh.
'Ha, ha, ha! Ho, no, no! see you
are up to your old tricks. Prickly
Porkyn' he shouted as the strange
creature rolled past almost over his
tree at the foot OF the hill
Old Man Coyote heard him and
stopped short and turned to see what
t meant. Very slowly the strange
