PREPARING SCHOOLS
BUILDINGS ARE UNDERGOING
 FUMIGATIoN PROCESS.
Superintendent c. L. Floyd is Busy
 Registering New Pupils and Indications are Enrolment Will Be Very Large.

The school buildings of the Montgom- cry public schools system are undergo ing a thorough cleaning and fumigation preparatory to the opening of the schools on October 1.
 The Immigration is being done more as a matter of precaution than as necessity. The buildings have been closed all sum mcr and there is a bare possibility of contagion havng settled in the dust-cov- cred furniture of the rooms. The prem ises are also being fumigated and every thing in the buildings is undergoing a thorough washing In this way the Board of Education hopes to have the buildings absolutely free of contagion arising from the sanitary condition of the buildings.
 The registering of new pupils is pro- gressing steadily at the office of Prof. c. E. Floyd, Superintendent of Schools During the morning hours the registration is devoted to white children, while the ne- groes are registered in the afternoon. The registration applies solely to new pupils and pupils who did not complete the scholastic year last May.
 Professor Floyd conducts the registra- ton of the whites and principals of the several negro schools take turns regis tering the negroes.
 About 200 negroes have been registered. No account has been made of the white registration but it is considerably larger than that of last year.

RECTOR HAS LIFE OFFICE.
Bishop Grafton of Episcopal Church
 Says Parish Must Submit.

Fond Du Lac. tWis Special.
 Rt Rev. Charles C. Grafton, Bishop of the Diocese of Fond lu Lac, today made a ruling to the effect that a parish can not remove rector except for reasons affecting his moral cha act 1T or his doc trines and that his tenure of the office is for life or until it is dissolved by mu- tual consent. This decision was made in the case of Rev Leonard Frank of Shebovgan, Wis, who had been asked to resign by his vestry hut who had re- fused to do so. The grounds of com plaint were negligence of duty and un- dignifed conduct.
 Bishop Grafton further answers the .vestrY. which at meeting held last Tuesday adopt d a resolution to stop the reCtor's salary after next month, by saying that if the vestry does so Mr Frank may recover for his services in a civil action and cites a number of pre- cisely similar cases as precedents.

 J. J.

The motion was adopted and the Committee was appoint- ed as follows: J. J. Pierce, Chairman. w. F. Weiss. l.. J. Chambliss, J. M. Gorrie and L. F. Woodruff.
 Mir. Pierce said his idea of the carnival was not to have 1t on any of the con- gested blocks of the city and to leave driveways and car tracks clear on every street. The citizens doing business on Perry Street between Washington Street and Dexter Avenue had been seen, he said, and had signed the petition readily pas had those on Dexter Avenue, between Perry and Lawrence Streets. He sug- gested that other streets in the neigh borhood be canvassed.
 The company will meet Tuesday night and the committee will report
 Tn the meantime Camp Lomax, United Confederate Veterans. met The old sol- diers had received a communication from Captain Baber stating the company's ac- ton and they immediately adopted the following resolutions:
 That Camp Lomax hereby expresses its appreciation of the plans of the local military companies to hold a street fair during the annual encampment in order to add to the interest of the occasion.
 We appreciate their desire to add to the interest of the occasion, but in our judgment the street fair would prove calamity to the community and detract from the interest of the occasion and we therefore thank the local military for withdrawing their plans"
