Athens, Ga. Sept. 29.-The State Nor
NAL School is on a regular boom, breaking
all its previous records in attendance and
astonishing even those who are In charge
of that institution.
Eighty new teachers arrived yesterday
and to-day and every train brings more
and more. In fact, it has reached the
point where, after tomorrow, In all prob
ability President Bradwell will be COM
pelIed to refuse admittance to any more on
account of the lack of accommoda tons.
Last night the girls dormitory was so
crowded that eight girls were compelled
to sleep upon the floor. President Brad
well will endeavor to relieve this situa-
ton al once, although in so doing he will
be forced to crowd the girls into tempo
rary places until better arrangements can
be perfected.
The total enrolment for the session has
reached $50, with about 400 of that num-
Der now in attendance. So intense is the
desire of the common school teachers Of
the state for a normal school training that
twice the present dormitory room al tho
state Normal School could easily be util-
ICED. A girls dormitory is especially
needed.

Mr.. Rhodes VIII Not Run.
The rumors to the effect that Hon. ].
F. Rhodes would be candidate for Mayor
against Mayor f.. I. Smith were unfound-
ed. Mr. Rhodes says that he is not a can
didate for Mayor and has never had any
idea of being one He says that he hasn't
the time to make a contest, and even II
he were elected his business is such that
he could not give the proper amount OF
time to the office.
The work of VandaIs.
Last night several boys took in the town
with a pot of paint and a ready brush.
They labeled everything they came across,
Freshman, '03." They even went so far
as TO paint this sign across the front OF
the Presbyterian Church. The people are
very much incensed over this latter piece
of work. and IL the guilty parties are
caught they will be severely punished by
Mayor Smith, and II they are college boys
they willsbe no doubt expelled.

after Dabney and If they catch him they
are apt to give him the limit Of the law.
