TO BOOKS TOMORROW
THREE THOUSAND PUPILS EN-
 ROLLED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Heron Street School Will Not Open Until Monday-Prof. Weissner to Teach Physical Culture.
 New Teachers.

Three thousand Montgomery childrer will tomorrow begin the scholastic year of 1902-1903.
 Prof. c. L. Floyd. Superintendent oi the City Schools said yesterday that in- dications were all previous records of at, tendance upon the Montgomery public schools would be broken. He thought there would be room for all pupils but If the attendance IS larger next year he said some children would have to be turned away anless the City Council transforms the Billing property on Clay ton Street into a school building.
 Professor Floyd announced yesterday that Prof. J, C. Weissner would give courses in physical culture at the Girls High School on Tuesday and Fridays during the scholastic year.
 All of the schools will open promptly at 8:45 o'clock tomorrow morning with the exception of the Cottage Hill or Her ron Street school. The Cottage Hill School will not open until next Monday on account of the building being incom- plete.
 The contract with the City Council pro- vided that the building would be ready for use by October 15, but the contractor hoped and believed the building would be ready for occupancy by Wednesday. A few days ago, however. he informed the School Board that he could not possibly complete the building until next Mon day, requiring that time to put the fln- ishing touches on the interior work.
 The enrolment of students steadily continues. Superintendent Floyd says the present indications are that the schools will open with over 3O0O pupils. During the whole of last year there were not quite that many students enrolled.
 Professor Floyd does not believe the schools will be overcrowded this year. He has made careful estimate of the en- rollment and believes that the present facilities will accommodate all of the children. Still he believes that if the number of students increases next year as 1t has this year there will be more students than can be accommodated un- der the present conditions.
 If the Billing property is improved the accommodations will be adequate next year.
 There are few changes in the teaching force of the schools. The Girls High School will have no changes in the fac ulty with the exception of Prof. Leon George, who takes the place made va- cant by Prof. R. F. Moore. The Boys High School will have two additions and no changes. Joseph W. King has been added as an assistant in that school and Professor George will instruct in manual training.
 Miss Meta BaItzell has been made a teacher in the Cottage Hill School and Miss Alice Ledbetter in the Capitol Hill School. His Lucille Lahey and Miss Flea nor Offutt have been appointed assistant teachers in the Cottage Hill and Capitol Hill Schools respectively.

and exporters of this port. The last tow of timber which has been in stock at Fes- ry Pass was brought down last night. and there is now no timber whatever in the booms at that place. The tow thai was brought down last night was for the Pensacola Lumber Company, and VIII be loaded on one of the steamers now III port. The tow consisted of about one thousand pieces and cleaned up every thing in stock.
 It has been many years since the con ditions now existing at Ferry Pass were equaled. Most of the time there is al- ways several thousand pieces of timber in stock, but the unprecedented low Wa ter now prevailing makes 1t impossible for the timber and mill men to get thefr rafts down the rivers and creeks.
 The only company which can now get timber to Ferry Pass is the McMillan Mill Company. Their mills are so situated that no matter what stage of tho river they can float their timber and logs. The supply of this company, however. $ contracted for by William s. Keyser & Co.,, and is used up as fast as it is turn ed out of the mills.
 It is said upon good authority that tim Der and mill men have over half mil lion dollars bound up in logs and tim- Der that cannot now be touched The rivers and creeks are lined with logs that were cut and are rafted together waiting for higher water.
 The supply of lumber and timber which is now being used, is coming from those mills which are so situated as to handle their logs and timber by rail.
 There are now number of vessels in port which will shortly be out of timber, In fact. it was stated yesterday afternoon NA.k q of them could be loaded, and if such is the case 1t will prove hardship to some of the merchants who have their vessels under charter.

FEW STREET CARS RUN
UNITED STATES MAIL TRANS PORTED IN NEW ORLEANS.
Linemen Ordered Out in Sympathy With the Motormen and Con- ductors-Lighting of City
 Will be Interfered With.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-The strike of light yesterday morning continues with out a break.
 Three mail cars were the only cars moved by the railway company today.
 In the absence of street cars, vehicles of all shapes sizes and styles were brought into play and have done a thriv- ing business.
 The linemen of the New Orleans-Car- rollton Light and Power Company and also the linemen employed by the New Orleans Railway Company, all members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, were ordered out on strike this afternoon. The linemen have gone out in sympathy with the street eighty men are affected by the new strike
 The New Orleans Railway Company has notified the mayor that the strike of their linemen will seriously interfere with the lighting of the city after tonight.
 It may be stated that no breaks tbat may occur in any of the overhead elec- tric lighting wires or in any of the troll ley wires can be fixed The trimmers of the electric light department can still continue at their work. but these cannot mend the wires, according to the laws of their respective unions.
 Into the matter of interference with street cars carrying United States mall, sixteen affidavits were made this after noon against as many persons charging them with interfering with the United States mails in violation of the act of Congress protecting the mails. These cases will be heard tomorrow.
 All efforts so far made to adjust the trouble between the railway company and the street car mems union have failed to accomplish anything so far as known.

Old Negro Recovered.

John Wesley. am old negro. whose wagon was struck by street car Satur- day, through his, carelessness in driving on the track in front of an approaching car, and who was thought to be serious ly hurt has so far recovered as to be able to go home The street car officials had the old man put in hack and sent to an infirmary as soon as he was picked up, and he was given all of the medical assistance possible. A big gash was cut in the back of his head and he was con- siderably shaken up by his fall and on account of his seventy-odd years it was feared the injuries might go hard with him. but he quickly rallied from the ef- fects of the fall
 The old mans daughter-in-law was in the wagon with him at the time, and for tunately escaped all injury. but was bad ly frightened. The mule was knocked down at theetime the wagon was struck and was so badly hurt that it died a few hours afterwards. Although it was not the street car company's fault, the old negro being clearly responsible for the acci- dent that company will have the wagon repaired and will pay for the mule. Llp- eral actions like this on the part of the street car company in this city Is one thing that makes it so popular with the public,

FIGHT FOR DISPENSARY
THE QUESTION IS A LIVE ONE
 IN SELMA9
Dity Executive Committee is Asked to Order Primary to Instruct
 Members of Legislature on the Subject.
Advertieser Bureau,

| Selma, Sept g.
 The City Democratic Executive Com mittee will meet tomorrow in the Register n Chancery's office in the new court louse. The committee is called by the Chairman, Felix M. Wood.
 Saturday last Ernest Lamar, who is leading the fight for dispensary in this city, presented six petitions to Mir. Wood, ngned by ten leading citizens of each Df the six wards requesting that the Democratic Executive Committe be call ga together for the purpose of ordering a Democratic primary to instruct the repre- sentatives in the legislature from Dallas as to establishing dispensary here. MT. Lamar has been making an earnest, ag- gressive fight for dispensary for Selma and his petition to the City Executive Committee to call primary is his first public step ins that direction.
 He has written letters to the three rep resentatives from the city, Messrs Craig, Starr and Shafer. asking them if they would abide by and carry out the will of tho people as expressed in such a pri- mary and it is possible that MT. Lamar's letter and the replies thereto. will be read before the Executive Committee to- morrow. ''
 A great deal of interest is being taken ln the question by those advocating as well as thsse opposing dispensary and it as very probable that the Register in Chancery's office will not hold those who will be present tomorrow. Your cores pondents has made inquiry among the members of the committee and finds that a large majority are opposed to a dis pensaryl That being the case, it is pre- dicted that they will take the position that they have no right to order Democratic primary on the question. The discussion of the question has been good natured and friendly up to now. Snd MT. Lamar says that he does not propose to inject any bitterness or per- eonalities in 1t at any stage of the game and proposes to appeal to reason and not ko prejudice in his fight for a dispensary.
 The question Is likely to go into munich pal politics. It Is rumored that if the Democratic Executive Committee refuses to order a primary, the advocates of the dispensary will hold a primary and will test the strength of the dispensary in Selma in that manner
 If the Executive Committee fails to order primary, it is said that the City Council will be appealed to and that body be requested to take some action to get @ vote on the matter, but this latter course will hardly be resorted to, as 1t is clearly out of the province of the city fathers to order such an election.
 It is expected that lively discussion will be had at the Executive Committee meeting tomorrow.
