Last School Census.

the above figures show the school popu-
lation to be about two-ffths of the entire
population.
The county school problem is also vex-
ing one, says Professor McAdory. The
general fund, the county fund and the poll
tax fund, which afford revenue for the
county schools Is inadequate. and in a
number of instances by a fair and lust
distribution of the funds a number of
the schools only run four months each
year. The children, therefore, receive no
further schooling during the year unless
special fund is raised in the locality
where the school is located by public sub
scriptions or by fixing a tuition
An Example.
Take for instance a school, located
about three miles from Trussville," said
Professor McAdory. This school opened
on October II and closed March H. The
thirty-five pupils Of this school will re-
oeive no schooling again until next fall.
1.-THE patrons of this school erected a
nice frame building this year at a cost
OF about $3.50. It is well heated and venti-
lated, and a good teacher was In charge
but the school funds were Inadequate to
run the school longer than four months
If the patrons desire further education
this year for their children they will
have to raise funds among themselves or
fix a tuition sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the school.
I'm my opinion the only plan is to fix a
special school tax for the maintenance
of the state schools longer than four
months"
Professor McAdory Is now preparing
the pay rolls for the month of March. The
amount is about $4,000, and the county
teachers will be paid on the first Saturday
in April, the regular monthly pay day.

ONLY BIRMINGHAM
PUPILS ENROLLED
Many NOn-Residents Denied
Admission In Schools
BUILDINGS TOO CROWDED
Or. Philips Says With New High
School and Additional Grammar
Schools Non-Residents Can
Get Schooling Here.

DR.. ]. II. Phillips, superintendent Oh the
Birmingham public schools, estimates that
between $50 and 800 nonresident pupils
have been denied admission in the schools
of this city during the present scholastic
year on account of the crowded conditions
of the school buildings. Before the pres
ent school year commenced the board OF
education, realizing the crowded condi-
lions that were to be contended WITH
passed a resolution instructing the sup
erintendent to first care for the children
residing In Birmingham, and in case all
of the class rooms are filled by them to
refuse admission in the school from non
resident pupils. DR.. Phillips was instruct
ed. however, to allow the non-residents.
as far as possible, who had been in school
two or three years previous to this, to
again enter.
At present there are $50 non-residents in
the public schools of Birmingham. They
come from Woodlawn. East Lake, Avon
dale, North Birmingham, Pratt City, Ems
ley West End, Cleveland, Powderly, and
in fact almost all of the suburbs are rep
resented. In the high chool alone there
| are forty-six nonresident pupils, although
no new ones were received this year
Serious Problem.
The school authorities say that the nom
resident pupil question is a serious prob
lem to be solved. In the opinion of DR..
Phillips, If the bond issue of 100000 for
the purpose of securing funds with which
to build a new high school and two gram
mar schools. carries at the election on
April H. and if the schools are built the
authorities will be in a better position to
care for nonresident pupils.
DIR. Phillips estimates that with an adj
equate new high school building, three
hundred nonresident pupils would be en-
rolled. As the tuition In the high school
is 81 per month for non-residents, just
twice the amount charged pupils residing
in Birmingham, the sum of 81 200 would
be derived from this source alone each
month. This would go a long way to-
wards sustaining the high school.
In the grammar school the tuition for
non-residents is as follows: First and
second grades, $3.50 per month; third,
fourth and fifth grades, $3.50 per month;
sixth and seventh grades, 81. 30 per month.
Although the crowded conditions ex-
lists at all the schools, not single ron
resident pupil has been denied admission
in the schools this year. says DR.. Phil
lips.

HOW TO PRONOUNCE HYOMEI.
Rckert & Wells Tell Of This Remark
able Treatment That Cures Ca
tarrh Without Stomach Dosing.


.sWhile all our customers who have
used Hyomei agree that it is remarkably
successful In curing catarrh and other
diseases Of the air passages" say Rickert
& Wells, yet there has been considerable
diversity OF opinion as to how the name is
pronounced.
Hyomei Is pronounced just as if it
were spelled 'high.o-me, with the accent
on the first syllable.
"a great many come to our store and
instead Of asking for Hyomei, tell us they
want package OF the treatment for ca
tarrh that we are selling on q guarantee
While we know what they mean, and
all Of our clerks will give them Hyomel,
yet we want everyone to know how to pro-
nOunee the name Of Hyomei, so that they
may run no chance OF getting anything
but Hyomei, no matter where they go.
1t Is natures true cure for catarrhal
troubles. 1t kills the germs Of this di.
sease, s00thS and heals the irritated mu.
cous membrane, and effectually drives all
catarrhal poisons from the system.
.'All the stomach dosing In the world
can do no lasting good In the treatment Of
catarrh unless the nose and throat are free
from catarrhal microbes. There is no
stomach dosing with Hyomei; just breathe
it.

value OF the treatment, that we are selling
It with the understanding that we will re-
turn the money If It fails TO cure All

Japanese Story Of the Russian Rout
at TelIissu.-

Toxic. June 16, 5 p. m.-The Rus
sian hope of relieving the pressure on
Port Arthur by threatening the rear
of General Oku, the commander OF
the japanese forces investing the
Russian stronghold, came to an end
yesterday at Telissu, a point on the
railroad so miles north of Kin Chou
and 25 miles north of WanfangOW
when the Russians were out ma
neuvered, enveloped and sweepingly
defeated They left over 500 dead on
the field and the Japanese captured
800 prisoners and IA quick firing field
guns The Russians retreated hastily
to the northward.
The japanese charge that the Rus
slams violated the Japanese flag Ger
tain officers aver that during the fight
ing a body of Russians soldiers ap-
peared carrying a japanese flag, and
that the Japanese artillery, deceived
BY this flag, ceased firing upon that
particular body of Russians. Official
dispatches from the japanese com
manders make specific charges of this
flag violation.
Early estimates of the japanese
losses at TelieSSu say that 1000 men
were killed or wounded The Japa-
nese attacking force was divided into
right and left columns and began the
advance Tuesday along both sides OF
the railroad. They encountered the
Russians east of Vanfangow and
drove them back. At a late hour in
the afternoon the Russians held a line
between Lung Wang Tao and Ia
Fang Shen. The japanese artillery
opened on this line and the Russians
responded. The Smelling continued
for two hOurssa and 1t was followed by
the advance Of the japanese line to
a position extending from Lung CHA
Tun to Yu HOtun. Darkness nut an
end to the fighting
The Japanese dispatched a column TO
the westward toward Fuchaiu for the
purpose Of covering the Russian right
wing ana to protect their left and
rear.
During the night it became apparent
that the Russians were being reinforc-
ed and it was decided to make a gener-
al attack in the morning and force the
Russians into a def1le back of Telissue.
When morning came it was discover
ed that the Russians held a line ex-
tending from Ia Fang Shen to Cheng
Tzu Shan with a force estimated at
over two divisions.
The Japanese planned to envelop the
Russians near Telissu and they sue
ceeded admirably. While the main jap
anese force was moving north along the
railroad columns were swung to the
lert and to the right and finally con-
Verged at noon on the main Russian
position. The Russians in this position
were at disadvantage. but they held
1t with determination until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon At this hour they were
routed. The Japanese cavalry contin-
ued to pursue the enemy and proba bly,
Japanese commander makes no estf-
mate of the Russian losses. but says
they probably were great.
Among the Russian officers captured
