About Free Text Books.
progress.

There is being agitated the question
Of the State furnishing to the children
Of all parents, regardless of whether
or not they are able to buy, school
text books free of cost.
As l stated in last issue of the
Courier l will give briefly some of
the facts concerning the school book
situation. AS it now is the text books
are furnished under contract and the
prices charged are wholly out of pro.
portion to their cost, and three or
four big book publishing concerns are
making millions In excess profits from
the sale Of the books at price fixed
by law.
II the State buys the books and
furnishes them to the children the
money will have to come from the
taxpayers There are approximately
5000 pupil children In Morgan county,
and the average cost of books per pu-
pill is $500. To buy at public expense
the necessary books would therefore
require the expenditure of about SIS.
10000 per year for Morgan. county
alone. As near as can learn with
out search of the records and they
are not handy to me now, the amount
raised for oil purposes for Morgan
county is about $26,O0O0O year. 10
buy the books for the children would
require an increase In the taxation
almost double as | see It,. Now
whether or not 1t would be best for
the people to pay this increased tax
or buy their own books is tie thing
that we have to decide.

S5OOOO.OO Addition to Building.

Chas. w. Henry, of Pomp, repre-
senting the Lexington Dry Goods Co.,
of Lexington, returned from the latter
place Saturday and informed the
Courier that the above company is
erecting an addition to their selling
house that vii cost more than $50OO0.-
90. When this addition is completed
it will make the company one of the
best equipped wholesale dry goods con-
Germs in the State. This addition was
necessitated by the steadily growing
business of the company, which is one
OF the strongest in the south. That
house is building up splendid trade
in this section.

BIG HIT WAS MADE

THE MUSICAL COMEDY, $1,000

Home talent scored another hit in

comedy, $50 Forfeit" to a good sized
audience at the Palace theatre Tuesday
evening. The performers gained the
good will of the audience at the
start by beginning on schedule time,
and from then on there was not dull
moment. The stage setting was espe-
cially pleasing, and the maids and ma
irons among Dawson's leading young
er social set were very charming in
their fetching frocks.
Each part in the bright little play
was we'll sustained throughout, and
the plot, while simple, kept up inter

mans Missionary Society, in honor OF

inspiring program was opened with the
song, "Reapers Are Needed" The in

brought by Miss Belle Chatham. In
troductory remarks were made by Mrs.

bring a message of appreciation and
God speed to the two soon to leave

sponded to the many messages of love
and good wishes and expressed the
pleasure they anticipated in their new
field of service, while feeling a reluct-
ance to break home ties even tempo
rarily. After the song, God Will Take

they will carry to their new field of
activities many pleasant memories of
this expression of love and apprecia-
ton.

Too Many Women Sit
Down and Grow Old

CLEVELAND, O.-Too many
women sit down and grow old, de-
clared DR.. Frances Graves, OF Bos-
ton, in paper which she read to-
day in the genealogical section of
the national osteopathic convention.
"Sit tall'' is the remedy proposed
by DR.. Graves, and she told the
specialists how to do it. DR.. Graves
said in part;
at seems wise to instruct women
that if they lead normal lives they
may look forward to normal mid
die life. Lay stress on the normal
life. 1t is not normal life for a
woman to settle down to sitting the
greater part of the day The normal
life is not gained by too little or no
exercise, and too much food. So
many women sit down to growing
old. They welcome old age long be-
fore they have any right to. 1t is
true that there is nothing more dis
gushing than an old woman who re-
fuses to take her age gracefully. A
"kittenish" old woman is a ridicu-
lous object; but prematurely old
woman is a pitiful object"
