MANY REGISTERED
ON YESTERDAY.
Nearly Five Hundred Enter
School.
SOME PREFER TO BUY BOOKS
But Large Majority Have Paid Rental
Fee and viii Continue Upon That
Basis-Five Hundred Pupils in White
Schools Alone.

The registration of pupils in the pub
Lie schools of the city continues, and
already the 500 mark has been reached
ia the white schools, while numerous
colored pupils are likewise enrolled.
Supt. Mathis was kept busy again
yesterday registering pupils.
Probably one hundred white pupils
entered the schools yesterday. OF
these some eighty or ninety elected to
purchase their books, and were ad-
mltted without payment of fee,
Quite number, however, preferred
the book rental plan, even yesterday,
and paid it in preference to the other
method of obtaining books. Not a
few have found the new system much
more satisfactory,
There is no confusion as a. result of
the recent litigation and attendant ex-
citement, and all pupils are busy at
their books.
While perhaps 400 or 425 pupils have
registered and paid the book-rental
fee, but one demand has been made for
! it's return, the party paying it last
week preferrlng the former plan of
buying schoolbooks.
The Board of Education will proba-
bly, take some action upon this point,
pending possible demands for the re.
turn of the rental fee.
Inasmuch as the large majority OF
pupils have entered at such trifing
cost, many of them paying but few
cents in addition to credit given them
for books by the Board, there will be
little demand for the return of the fee,
1t is hoped by all that the book con-
troversy is finally ended.

HARVESTING AN IMMENSE CROP
PeaVines instead of Cotton is His
Hobby.

E1OOUys
Mr.R.S Broadhurst, who owns farm
near the city has made a new depart
ure from the common routine of farm
ing in this section. Mr.. Broadhurst
instead of planting all cotton Che has
none planted) has sowed his broad
acres down IN peas and now Is engag-
ed IN harvesting one of the finest crops
of hay that can be grown. There are
hundreds of tons of this fine forage
which will readily sell for as much or
more than would cotton crop grown
on the same land, Notwithstanding the
present high prices. Mr.. Broadhurst
has instituted new system of farm
ing, and put to fight the theory that
cotton is the only money crop. Let
others take cognizance of his success
and the imported" hay will soon be
thing of the past.
