UNIONTOWN COMPANY
MILITARY ORGANIZATION TO BE
 MUSTERED OUT.
New Command May Be Accepted With Detachments at Faunsdale
 and Marion-W. J.
 Walden for Captain.

Under an order issued yesterday from the office of the Adjutant General, the Uniontown military company. which is Company L of the 1st Infantry, will be mustered out of the Alabama National Guard.
 In all probability a new company will be organized at Uniontown which will be commanded by Captain W. J. Walden, a well known Alabama soldier.
 The old company at Uniontown Is to be mustered out on the grounds of inefhcien- cy. The report of Capt. W. H. Johnston of the United States Army, who inspected the National Guard of Alabama, was perhaps the cause of the mastering out of the company. Captain Johnston, how ever, did not recommend that the com pany be mustered out. He formally re- ported that the company was inefficient. Acting upon that report and after con- ference with Col R. B. du Mont, com manding the 1st Infantry, Adjutant Gen. eral W. W. Brandon issued the muster ing out order.
 The men of the company appear to have lost interest in it's affairs. The company s property was reported to the Adjutant General as being in bad condition.
 There Is on file in the AdJutant Gen erals office a strong petition from a large number of the young men of the vicinity of Uniontown, asking permission to organize a new company. It is pro-

INCREASE OF PUPILSl
THE LAST SCHOOL CENSUS or
 ALABAMA.
Returns Are Coming in and Will Show at Least l5 Per Cent in Number of School
 Children.

The school census of the children of Alabama for 1p0s. the officials of the De- partment of Education say. will show a remarkable increase over the school cen- sus of two years ago. This increase may run higher than 1S per cent.
 The biennial census of 1901 showed that there were in Alabama 676.2ss pu- pills. From the reports already received from the present census by the Educa- tional Department, the officials predict that there will be a large increase over those figures. Reports from about one third of the counties and from about one half of the special school districts have been received. There are many special school districts in the State over which the County SuperinteDdents have no con- trol. The reports from these special school districts as we'll as from the coun- ties, uniformly show an increase of the number ot children of school age.
 The school census includes all persons who live in Alabama and are between the ages of and H years. The school funds of the State are distributed upon the school census as basis. The funds are paid out according to per capita.
 The school census is taken in all the counties and school districts In July of each alternate year. The reports are to be filed with the Superintendent of Education by the 18th of the following August. The reports rom the last school census are coming in rapidly.
 The increase of the number of school children in Alabama is attributed to the natu0l. but rapid growth of the State and the widespread growth of the esiu- caticiiai sentiment in Alabama.

MAJOR H. c. HANSON.
An Editorial Tribute to Him by The
 Macon Telegraph.

Macon Telegraph.
 The following appeared as an editorial in The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of yester- day:
 Mir. H. c. Hanson. for some years con- nected with The Telegraph, first as busi- ness manager, and later-during 1856, 1887 and 1S9S-the manager of this property. died at the home of his son, MT. Victor Hanson, In Montgomery yesterday of typhoid fever. Mir. Hanson was the brother of Major J. F. Hanson and Mir. I. N. Hanson of this city. and the father of Mir. Victor Hanson of The Montsom- cry Advertiser.
 The remains will be brought to this city by a special train today, arriving at 1o:f0 a. m., and the interment will take place in Riverside cemetery. Further details of which appear in our news columns this morning.
 Mir. Hanson labored many years of his life in the newspaper business, devoting himself to the business department, but he often felt and expressed himself to his friends, that he ought to have engaged in editorial work. Those who have seen him occasionally turn from the business routine and take up the pen have agreed with him. His gift of epigrammatic speech was unusually strong. and if he had gone into the editorial field of newspaper en- deavor he would undoubtedly have ex- celled. MT. Hanson had strong convic- tons and the courage of them. His was one of those natures that was not always in accord with popular notions, and there fore 1t brought more or less friction- friends and enemies He had a robust mentality and kind heart. He was not always understood, but he was always following the lines marked out by his judgment and conscience. This Is the con- viction of one who was intimately asso- ciated with him for three years in the joint conduct of this paper.
 The Telegraph mourns with those who mourn the loss of q friend. May he sleep well.
