SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 22.-J. J.
Powers, vice president and cashier
Of the Exchange Bank of Savannah,

mitted it-that two men had come
into the bank when the president
was out and after asking for the

the men for a few days. This he
consented to do as an accOmmOda-
ton solely. He took the money,
kept it a couple of days, living
given a receipt for it and when the
man came back a few days later
and surrendered the receipt he gave
him back his money. There were
some government agents present
both times but Mr.. Powers did not

charge of conspiracy was brought
against him. He gave bond and suf-
fered no inconvenience from the
matter. His story was accepted as
true by the grand jury and a mo
bill' was returned.

STATE EDUCATION
BOARD ASKS BIDS
ON SCHOOL TEXTS

The state board of education in ses
sion at the state capitol Wednesday
decided to go ahead with adoption OF
school books for a five-year period,
as has been the custom in the past.
Bids will be advertised for at once,
and must be in the hands of the
board by September 20.
The action OF the board followed
closely upon the announcement that
Governor Walker had vetoed a reso-
luton passed by both houses of the
recent general assembly, calling upon
the board to renew the school book
contract for only two years, because
of the agitation for free school books.
At meeting held several months
ago the state board decided not to
renew the book contract until after
the legislature had met, in order that
1t might ascertain what action would
be taken on free books.
Although The contract for books
Will be made on five-year basis, of
tlclals Of the school department
stated Wednesday that the action Of
the board will not interfere with
plans for free school books that may
be adopted at any tins prior to the
expiration of the contract, since the
school board merely adopts the
books, and the same ones will be
used, no matter who buys them.
Under the present system the
board, acting as the state school
book commission, adopts the books
that are to be used during the en-.
suing five years, and the pupils buy
them. 1t is claimed that the con.
tract would not interfere in the least
with the state or county's buying
the books for the pupils.

REHEAR|NG SOUGHT
ON PLAN To LEASE
CAROLINA RAILROAD

A request to the Georgia public
service commission to reconsider it's
action in recommending to the inter
state commerce commission that the
railroads petition to lease the Caro-
lima, Cinchfield and Ohio railway be
not granted, was filed Wednesday by
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and
the Louisville and Nashville rail
road.
A hearing on the petition for re-
ons.deration has been set for Au-
Sust %.
The two railroads stated that the
Seaboard Air Line Railway compa'
ny. assisted by the receiver of the
Georgia and Florida Railroad COM
pany. had protested favorable ac-
ton on the petition to lease the Car
DINA, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway
company on the grounds that it
would stifle competition. This con-
tention, the Atlantic Coast Line and
Louisville and Nashville companies
contended, was not made by the Sea-
board Air Line in the interest of the
public.
The Atlantic Coast Line and
Louisville and Nashville companies
stated one of the reasons why they
desired to lease the Carolina, Clinch-
field and Ohio railway was to es-
tablish connection with the eastern
and southeastern kentucky coal
fields. This connection would en-
able the railroads to furnish eastern
and southern Georgia q supply of
coal which these sections of the
state are said to need greatly, ac-
cording to the petition.
Georgia cannot expect to develop
manufacturing industries" iE its
eastern and southern sections UNI
less a steady supply of fuel is es-
tablished, the petition continues.
Townsville. Brunswick, Dawson,
Naldosta, Camilla. Triton, Waycross,
Quitman and other towns operate
municipal lighting and water plants
which are dependent upon fuel. and
the leasing of the Carolina. Clinch-
field and Ohio railroad would result
in these communities being given
regular supply at as low rates as
are consistent with the rendition of
proper transportation service, it is
stated.
Virginia, South Carolina, Tennes-
see. Alabama and Florida already
have approved this proposed lease,
according to the petition. In re-
questing another hearing, the two
railroads wish to present the views
OF business men and citizens of
municipalities which would be af-
fected by the lease. it is stated.
The petition further charges that
the interests of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad are really antagonistic

FOR ACCOUNTING ON
SALES OF A STOCK

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 2S.-The
Piggy Wiggly corporation Wednes-
day filed a bill in United States dis
trict court here demanding of Clar-
Ience Saunders, former president of

head of the Piggy Wiggly Invest
ment company, an accounting of

lOnged to the corporation was sold
for which payment of part cash and
