The School Book Trust, end the
Issue of Veracity Raised by
Professor Nj. l.. Britain.

A COUPLE of weeks ago, there came to me
through the mails a letter which the
State Superintendent Of Schools had written
to a gentleman whom he addressed as Dear
Dr. Turner
If DR.. Turner enclosed any line of his own
to me, it never reached my table, and there
fore his place of residence and even his
identity are unknown to me.
In his letter to DR.. Turner, the Superin-
tendent emphasizes the fact that he is a
Baptist, his people being-especially on his
mothers side the Callaways of Wilkes
County
The Superintendent assures DR.. Turner
that he has ARRAYS been in favor of free
schoo-books, and, moreover, in favor of the
State becoming the publisher, experimentally.
He says further that he never has lobbied
against free books, or against any other
measure.
| assume he means to say, also, that he has
never lobbied for any measure.
The Superintendent explains to DR.. Turner
that "Mr Watsons long-continued abuse" of
him, the said Supt., had its provocative in
wicked communication made to said Watson
by one II. S. Bowden, to the effect that he,

against free books In the public schools
Explaining his presence in the Senate
chamber during the very hot and very close
contest on the free-book question, the Super
intendent Britain says
Senator McCrory urged me to ask Senator
Hule-representlng my dlstrict-to give him
an interview before the vote on the book
question.
| secured the favor from Mr.. HUE, and
that night H. S. Bowden sent to The Jeffer-
sonian a statement, that Superintendent Brit
tain had left his post of duty, and was seen
lobbying on the floor of the Senate in behalf
of the Book Trust"
The first thought that will occur to you is
this-If Superintendent Britain felt wrong
ed by Mr.. Bowden, why did he not take the
matter up with Bowden; and why did he not
request correction in The Jeffersonian?
1t was some two or three years ago, and
Superintendent Britain has never asked me
to publish denial, nor did he condescend to
write me one.
Why is it that the matter now assumes
sudden Importance?
Why this belated denial and this savage
attack on Watson, at the Macon convention?
Abuse? Why, I've never abused Superin-
tendent Britain, nor said one word against
him, personally; butt have said-and now
free school-books, no matter what. he may
have pr0fesSed; and that he has been party
to a fragrant violation of the Constitution of
Georgia by the Roman Catholics of Augusta
and Savannah.
Now, let us examine the evidence on the
issue of veracty.
[ did not write to Mr.. Bowden, because I
do not know his present address, but wrote
to Senator McCrory, and to Hon. Grover G.
EdmondsOn.
This explains my delay in commenting
upon Superintendent BIS letter to DR..
Turner.
In order that Senator McCrory might have
all the facts before him, / sent him the Super
intendent's letter to DR.. Turner
In reply, Senator McCrory wrote, under
date of May II, 1916:
II have read Prof Brittain's letter with
interest and some amusement.
[ did not ask Mr.. Britain to secure an
interview for me with Senator HUE I had
already seen Mr.. HUE and he was lodging
and [ wanted Prof. Britain to talk with HUE
and other Senators, and tell them he favored
the bill.
y To my surprise and chagrn, he refused to
do it, saying it was beneath the dignity, &c.
[ told Senator HUE that [ had Just seen
Britain, and that he favored the bill, and it
seemed to tickle HUE"
Senator McCrory adds that, according to
his recollection, the tic1led HUE voted for the
substitute, which was meant to kill the bill,
and which served that purpose.
This fiat contradiction of Superintendent
Britain by Senator McCrory leaves our Bap-
tst brOther-whO seems to have inherited his
religion and borrowed his principles-in a
deep, ugly hole.
But the letter of Hon. Grover Edmondson
IS perhaps even more disastrous for Britain,
who has azecays been for free books, and al
ways wanted the State to publish them.

You will remember that the amendment accepted
and agreed to by McCrory practically made
egg shell of the bill, and then the Book Trust
did not fear it because it could do them no harm.
McCrory himself told me that he was forced to
agree to that amendment because Britain would
not recognize anything else, and he further
stated that Brittain's Influence would be thrown
against the measure if the amendment not
accepted, and he added that the Amendment
Brittains suggestion.
1t generally conceded by all members of
that House who favored cheaper sche ol-books
that Professor Britain was fighting the State
publication plan.
Professor Britain pretended to favor free
school-books at that time, doing so in order to
oppose the State publication plan, and he knew
very we'll that that was earthly chance to get
an appropriation from the Legislature for free
school-books.
His advocacy of free books was Brittain's flank
movement.

the McCrory bill pending and about to be

the three with being in collision, and Britain
has never denied the charge; my recollection is
that he the floor at the time
GROVER G. EDMoNDsoN.
Now, Britain, it's right up to you!
Your letter to DR.. Turner reeks with false
hood and attempted deception.
Grover Edmondson corroborates III. S.
Bowden in every particular, and he says, just
as Mr.. Bowden did, that you and Ed. Nc
Michael fought that bill together.
On the floor of the House, the virtuous Ed.
confessed that he ecas an employee Of the
SchOoz-booh Trust.
Mr. EdmOndson alleges that he made the
charge, on the floor of the House, that you,
and McMichael, and Miller were all three
working IN COLLISION for THE TRUST, and
against free books
He says you were on the floor at the time
he made his speech, and that you never have
denied the charge
Why not, Nr. Brittain?
In the wind-up of his letter to DR.. Turner
the Superintendent of Schools says of my
"unj ust and uncalled for criticisms
"These amount to libel, / am told by hiqh
legal authority, that urges me to test 1t, espe-
cially If l should give up my position for
city or college work"
Come ahead with your tester, Bro. Britain.
Don't wait to give up your present position
which becomes more precarious, every day.
Plant your feet upon something solid, like
a libel suit, Or prosecution, against your
Uncle T. E. W.
Let's see: what was the worst thing I said
about you?
oh, [ remember, now:

pany began work. Trails and roads were built, ore bodies were opened up, a mill was erected, and electric power was brought in. One June ' the mill began to crush ore. The Tung- sten Mines company started work on May 1 and by the later part of July had completed mill of 300 tons daily capacity and was rapidly opening it's main ore body, disclosing a lode as much as sixty feet wide. This activity has greatly stimulated prospecting, and tungsten has been found in belt 15 miles long.
 The ore bodies, which have been wis tied by Adolph Knopf, of the United States Geological Survey, department of the interior, are remarkable and in fact are of kind not mentioned by the recognized authorities on ore de- positS as a commercial source of Jung- sten. The ore consists of scheelite as sOciated mainly. with garnet, epidote and quartz. The general country rock is granite, but in it are scattered masses of limestone which became mineralized at the time when the granite cooled from a molten condi- ton.
 The fact that the tungsten bearing mineral-scheelite- associated with garnet is great help to the prospec- tor and all bodies of garnet rock scat tered through the great granite mass es of the eastern Sierra slope border ing Owens valley are being carefully examined and banned for scheelite.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
 OF RAlYWAY SECURITIES

An amount exceeding $2,5OO, GOO, 900 measured investment of savings and other state banks and insurance com panies alone in the railway securities in 1915, according to Bureau of Rail way News & Statistics, Chicago. The 19, 457 banks held about S1,265, ,G0O, ,0O9 in railway stocks and bonds, compris- ing 33.2 per cent of their total in vestments in government, state, coun- ty, municipal, public service and oth- CT bonds of any descriptions; these in vestments together, next to loans se- cured by real estate, collateral or oth- erwise, comprising by far the largest item in assets behind these banks.

How vital an interest these millions have in railways was shown by a competent estimate in 1907 that 31 per cent of total assets of life insurance compan- ies were railway securities. Were that ratio still to prevail, the 1914 in vest ment in railways would exceed $1,50c 100000.

BREAKS INTO WESTERLY BANK
Rural Eugene Wheeler Was Steering His Car Out of Danger-Getting Ready for General Caucus-De- fence to Begin Evidence in Mansfield Trial Today-Ex- posion at Light and Power Plant

Eugene Wheeler made a determined but unsuccessful attempt to break and enter the AShaway National Bank 1n broad daylight, Saturday afternoon, he being the third to make the attempt since the bank was formed, but the two prior attempts were with thieV- ish intent, while MT. Wheeler'S was not. He is the free rural delivery carrier on the Hopkinton City route and uses an automobile in his buSl- ness. Saturday he was nearing the AshaWay post office and coming along at a pretty lively clip. A large tour ing car which contained some ladies and gentlemen was coming in the op- posite direction. Mir Wheeler believ- ed he could get to the post office be- fore the approaching car could get him. and he deliberately drove his au- tomobile across the path of the coming machine to the left side of the road. He soon realized that crash was i'm minent and to avoid this he drove his auto onto the sidewalk, over the curb ing, and before the machine came to a stop, it had proceeded up the three steps to the entrance of the bank and smashed in the front door.
 Mir Wheeler was not injured, but his automobile was considerably dam aged and so was the bank door.
 The big touring car stopped to as certain the damage and the occupants commended MT. Wheeler for the way he manipulated his auto in order to prevent a collision, but insisted that he was wholly to blame for the acci- dent. Mir. Wheeler made an excuse and made no attempt to place the blame anywhere except with himself. He said he miscalculated; he thought he could get to the post office before the big car could get him, and seeing that he could not do that. he did the next best thing. Rather than endan- ger the lives of others, he took the chance he did. and is mighty glad the results are not even more serious.

 The greater part of the witnesses for the state are railroad employees and they were all evidently willing wit nesses. The number and character of these witnesses, several being expert in their line. and being required to be in Westerly almost from the com mencement of the trial, means big ex- pense to the state of Rhode Island, and it is said that this case will be fully as expensive to the state as was the celebrated Dr. Mohr murder case.
