JIM THOMAS ALIAS JIM WILLIAMS

Large Attendance Of Pupils
Yesterday Morning,
EXERCISES At HIGH SCHOOL
Total Enrolment at Schools Was $500,
an Increase of 500 Over Last Sep
tember-Number VIII Prob
ably Reach 5000.

The public schools opened auspiciously
yesterday While the enrolment was
larger by about five hundred than 1t was
year ago. there was ample room for
the pupils
There is never anything like a full en-
rollment on the first day, however. Many
parents keep back their small children
for a day or two; some of them for a
week. SO as to have the little ones es-
cape the rush and confusion incident to
the opening. On the first day of the fall
term last year about 1000 pupils were en-
rolled, but week or two later the en-
rollment was 52O0 Yesterday the enroll
ment was $500, but Superintendent J. H.
Phillips expects it TO be fully COCO by
the first of October, and he will not be
surprised IL the number reaches GOO. Out
of the $500 children that reported yester-
day over 1900 of them were white, and
out of an enrolment of 5000 at least 1000
will be white. This number will quite
fill the white schools. but viii probably
not overcrowd them.
At last years opening 800 students were
enrolled at the Ugh school. Yesterday
the enrolment there was $50. The maxi
mum number last session was about $780,
which taxed the capacity of the building
but since the superintendent removed his
office and the public library from the
high school to the city hall the building
will accommodate 400 students. and this
will be about the full enrolment during
the present session.
With the exception of a revision In the
biographies for advanced classes the
school books are the same now as they
were last session. The Biographies are
revised every few years.
The exercises at the high school yester-
day were full of interest. They began.
as usual. with choral music. The insplr-
ing hymn america" was sung by the
entire school. and under the baton of
Miss Kits it was rendered in musicianly
style.
After the singing Prof. ]. B. Cunning
ham, the principal, read a portion of the
Goth PSALM beginning; Lord. thou hast
been our abiding place in all genera
TONS" 1ur
Scripture reading was followed by an
which was at once practical and happy.
The superintendent welcomed the stu
dents back to their work and gave them
wholesome advice. Among other things
he said:
I'VE are not to be slaves of physical
environment" he said when the merri-
ment had subsidized. THE genius of place
is not in its walls. 1t is the spirit of
those who gather in it. The Birming-
ham high school had traditions, 1t had
character; and the voices of those who
had gone from 1t into the busy world to
take honorable and high stations were
whispering Inspirations this morning.
The teachers and the scholars make the
real school,"
The high school students will miss the
library, which was so close at hand, but
1t will soon be shelved in a bright and
spacious room on the fourth floor of the
city hail. near Superintendent Phillips
office. and all the school children will
have free access to 1t there.

5000 OPIUM AND WHISKY
PATIENTS CURED.

DR.. Samuel Morrow and Mr.. Charles B.
James, who were the pioneers in the
Kelley institute business in the south,
and who have during the past ten years
successfully treated over ten thousand
morphine and whisky patients, have
favored the merchants of this city with
copies Of their late issue Of the Old
Homestead Messenger. The Messenger
is artistically gotten up and contains the
testimonials of quite a number of men of
good standing, who have been treated
themselves, or who have had friends
benefited by a visit to the Old Home
stead sanatorium at Memphis, Tenn.
birmingham has sent a number of pa
tients to this institution, all of whom
speak highly of the cure received
there. The treatment administered at
the Old Homestead is restorative in its
nature, consequently stimulates the
hearts action, by supplying vitality and
force to the depleted nerve centers and
restores every organ to a normal con-
dition. thereby relieving the victim from
all desire or necessity for oplates or
alcoholic stimulants, tobacco or cigar
cites.
On application home treatment for any
of these diseases will be furnished. s*'

REPUBLICANS WILL
SELECT CANDIDATE
CONVENTION OF THE NINTH CON-
GRESSlONAL WILL ASSEMBLE
TOMORROW TO SELECT cANDI-
DATE TO OPPOSE UNDERWOOD.

The republican convention of the Ninth
district will be held tomorrow for the
purpose of nominating candidate to OPP
pose Congressman Oscar w. Underwood.
Just whom the republicans will center
upon as their congressional candidate in
this district has not yet been decided
The names of Erskine Ramsey, j. II.
VanHoose and j. Carter Cook are all
prominently mentioned, and 1t is most
probable that one of the three will receive
the nomination. There is some doubt as
to Mr.. Ramsey accepting the nomination
If 1t Is rendered him, as business matters
require much of his time and attention.
However, Mr.. Ramsey has not stateo
positively whether or not he would accept
the nomination.
1t seems to be the opinion OF many OF
the leading republicans that the conven-
ton will select ]. Carter Cook as the
nominee.
In speaking of the congressional stua-
ton, a prominent republican said yester-
day: II am of the opinion that the con-
vention will nominate J. Carter Cook for
congress from this district. 1t Is very
doubtful If any Of the other gentlemen
so far suggested for the nomination are
in a position to make the race. Mr.. Cook
fills all the requirements demanded by
the new party, and will be very strong
man In the congressional contest, should
he be nominated"

SALVATION ARMY
HAS RAISED $500
WORK PROGRESSING TOWARDS
THE ERECTION OF A PERMA-
NENT SHELTER FOR THE POOR
AND FRlENpLEss-NEEp $1,000.

The members OF the local Salvation
Army are still collecting funds for the
new shelter which the army Is to open
October 10.
So far about $500 has been subscriber
toward the necessary $1,000.
Captain Payne says that his collectors
find many people who do not understand
the project. and desires TO STATE again
the armys plan In regard to this work.
The Salvationists find many men who
through sickness or misfortune, or hav-
less and without place of shelter. These
men must either set In the barrooms or
walk the streets at night. During the
months since April the army has cared
for over 400 of these cases at their tenn
porary shelter on First avenue. This
place being entirely inadequate to meet
the need 1t is proposed to open a per-
manent lodging house or shelter for this
class Of men. A building has been SEA
cured and work will be done Immediately
toward painting and papering 1t. Seventy
five iron beds will be put in. each with
mattress, pillows. sheets, pillow cases and
plenty of cover.
There will be a hot and cold bath,
laundry room, with hot water, and soap
furnished. SO man may wash his
clothes; needles and thread to mend them
with, reading room ana every con-
venience for comfort.
For this accommodation the small sum
of 10 cents viii be charged. If a man has
no money work will be provided. so he
can earn his bed.
In order to equip this place and pay a
small liability now resting on the corps.
the sum of $1,000 will be necessary. This
sum the army is trying to raise now.
