GEORGIA TROOPS MAY
REMAIN SOME MONTHS
Governor Harris ! Receives Reply
From Secretary of War Baker.
Mustered Out at Home.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Harris
has just received a reply from Sec
rotary of War Newton D. Baker to
his own request and that of others
to the effect that the Georgia troops
now in the Mexican border be mus
tered out at their home stations.
Secretary Baker informs Governor
Harris that this matter has been left
with the commander of the South
ern department, Gen. Fred Funston,
who has charge of all affairs on the
borders. He stated that there was no
certainty as to when the troops
would be mustered out and the prob
ability seems to be that they will re-
main in the service for some months
to come.
This is the very indefinite reply to
the request which went forward
from Governor Harris, Mayor Asa
G. Gambler of Atlanta, and Mayor w.
j. Pierpont of Savannah. 1t came
about as the result of a visit to
Governor Harris by Rev. John S. Will
der of Savannah who presented him
a resolution asking him to use his
influence to have the Georgia troops
returned to their homes.

PUBLISHERS REFUSE
TO BID ON BOOKS
AFRAID THEY WOULD LOSE
MONEY IN FILLING CON-
TRACTS UNDER LAW.

Some twenty-five of thirty publish
ers of school text books have declined
to present bids to Georgia's state
board Of education for books to be
used in the public schools of this
state on the ground that under the
new text book act passed at the last
session of the legislature they might
be compelled to supply books at the
lowest contract rate which they have
made heretofore in other states.
The publishers say that if the law
should be construed to this effect
they would be unable to supply books
for use in the Georgia schools be-
cause the increased cost of paper and
other materials has so incseased the
cost of manufacturing books that
they would lose money by it.
When the state board of education
held its first quarterly session at the
capitol the question arose in connec-
ton with section of the 1916 text
book bill, of which Mr.. Yeomans of
Terrell is the author. This section
provides that each publisher of any
such book filed shall also file in the
office of the state superintendent of
schools sworn statement giving the
lowest net wholesale price at which
each book is sold anywhere in the
United States; the said sworn state
ment shall also give the list price and
the lowest exchange price given in
the United States when old books on
the same subject and of like kind and
grade, but of a different series, are
received in exchange"
Inasmuch as this attitude on the
part of the publishers would prevent
the state from securing books in the
Georgia schools at anything like rea-
sonable prices, the state board has
held up the situation until specific
ruling on the new act can be had
from Attorney General Clifford Wal
ker.
The school book publishers state
they are willing to give Georgia the
benefit of the best prices they can
make today, but that they cannot
submit prices made under contract
with other states several wears ago.
In the meantime, the state board has
decided that the book publishers may
file their lists of prices to be consid-
cred by the board at its next session,
apart from the contract prices made
in other states.

Mr.. McMath was formerly in the
cotton oil business in Americas. Ga.
with his father, R. l.. McMath. who is
a resident of that city, where his wife
IS now visiting. He is also a son-in-
law of George w. Riley, who is also
In the cotton oil business at Amer
icus.
All the parties in connection with
the terrible tragedy are prominent in
business and social affairs of States
boro and it has created a gloom over
the city such as has not been felthere
tor many years.
Contemplated by Family.
From statements said to have been
made by Rafe Simmons on the streets
OF Statesboro and in the presence of
dozens of people such an occurrence
as that which happened in the hotel
had been contemplated by the family
for the last three days, Mr.. Simmons
beng quoted as saying that it was
only a question of which member of
his family met McMath first. 1t is
understood that j. F. Brannen, for
merly judge of the city court of
Statesboro, and James K. Hines of
Atlanta have been retained to defend
Simmons.
The shooting served to practically
suspend business in Statesboro for
several hours.
Coincident with the shooting was
the killing of a valuable bird dog
owned by the hotel proprietor. Hear
ing the shots the dog rushed up to
where the trouble was and was struck
by a bullet. Although not instantly
killed it had to be shot later to re-
lieve it's suffering.
