Federal, state and county officers
have been very destructive OF moon
shine stills in this region during the
last two or three days. Three plants
that were being operated in Lincoln
county, Tenn, a short distance from
the state line. were destroyed yes
terday by a party led by Federal
Agent Root of Huntsville and Sheriff
Newman of Lincoln county. Two OF
the plants were deserted a short time
before the officers arrived and one
was going full blast. Amos Beavers
and Joe Hudson were arrested when
at work at the still, the officers
claim, and were conveyed to Fay
etteville, where they were locked up
on charges of violating the prohibi-
ton laws. About 400 gallons or
beer was poured out at the three
plants. Federal Agent Mize is back

urged to devise some means of fur
nishing the children attending the

text books.
We further recommend that the
state adopt a policy as progressive
and as liberal to it's school children
as is adopted in other states to the
end that they may have free text
books. If free text books are good
for the children of all the New Eng
land states. New York. New Jersey,

We, the members of the text book
committee, therefore recommend that
the books now in use in tn public
schools of Alabama, excepting the
texts in physiology and hygiene, be
continued for the period of one year
at the prices already submitted to
the members of the Alabama text
book committee. The name of the
books recommended for the use of

Guided in the lists of books appended
to this report, s are also the con-

We further recommend that the

than November |, 1928, appoint a
new committee to examine texts FOR
the purpose of having them adopted
by the state of Alabama and that this
committee be requested to make their
final report to the board of educa-
tion not later than May Is, 1924. We
believe that such a length of time
will aid the members of the new COM
