HAVE FULL ATTENDANCE.
Jasper Schools Promise to Have MOST
Successful Year in History.

Jasper, September 2o-(Special)-The
present session of the Jasper graded
school, which has been running one week,
promises to be the most successful in the
history of the city. The attendance on
the opening day was more than three
hundred pupils, and the number has in
creased each day.
The work is in charge of Prof. w. %.
Turnipseed, who was principal OF the
school last year, and he has a corps OF
six assistants. The incidental fees this
year are only one-half Of what they were
last year, and this insures much larger
attendance than last year. The reduction
of the incidental fees is made possible
by the enaction Of law authorizing the
levying of a special school tax in this
county, and the city's portion of the prof
its from the dispensary sales.

Report on Tuskeqee School.

The following report on the books of
Treasurer Warren Logan of the Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial institute at
Tuskegee has been filed by Examiner j.
T. German:
II examined the books from October 1,
1902 to September /, 1904. This institution
was established by the legislature in 1880,
under the name of the Tuskegee State
Normal school, with an annual appro-
priation of $1,000, which was increased In
1888 to $4,000 per annum. The act creating
the institution was amended In 1898 by
incorporating it as the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial institute In 1896 the legis-
lature passed an act providing for the
establishment and location of state ex-
pertinent station for the colored race, In
connection with this institute, with an
annual appropriation of $500
This makes the annual state appropria-
ton for the institute $500. The treasurer
has most excellent and methodical sys-
tenn of bookkeeping. An accurate ac-
count Is kept of the receipts and disburse-
ments in every department. A separate
account of the state appropriation of $1,000
is not kept. This is paid into the general
fund of the institute, for the disburse-
ment for all of which. proper vouchers
are on file. The agricultural fund Is dis
bursed in accordance with law.
1.-THE institute is In a fiourishing and
successful condition. Last year there
was an enrolment Of 1901 students, with
ISL instructors and assistants There
were students In attendance from thirty
six states and nine foreign countries. The
endowment fund of the institute nov
amounts to $1,o30,553.2S. and the total val
uation of real and personal property II
$6S6.S79. 20, making a total valuation o
81, ,l6. 1882 81. The total receipts last yea
were s71,933 and the annual current ex
penses are about $155,o00. The deficit o
about $4,000 is obtained principally b.
donations and contributions through tn
personal efforts of the principal of thu
institute, Prof. Booker T. Washington"
