 Petty Thefts.

Tuscaloosa, September 1.-(Special.)- From the numerous reports which have been made at police headquarters dur irg the last few days, 1t seems that Tus- caloosa has an over supply of burglars who seem absolutely fearless. Yesterday morning at nearly dawn W. W. Sheffield was awakened to find burglar in his room and fired at him several times but apparently without effect as the in- truder escaped. Another bold attempt was made when negro was discovered by Miss Mary Emma Browne at her window on Greensboro avenue. When she discov- cred that some one was at the window she called and she was answered but when she called her cousin. young man. who was spending the night there the unknown man escaped.
 At the residence of Mrs. N. N. Clem- ents some one was also heard in the yard and before retiring upstairs Miss Belle Clements locked the house we'll and placed a loaded revolver on table at the head of her bed, during the night she was wakened by a noise and reach ing for the revolver found that 1t had been taken.

once they have refused to act at both places.
 Chambers McAdory and D. w. Houston, trustees of the Jonesboro school, today made the following statement in answer to the letter of resignation from Pinkney Scott, published in today's Age-Herald:
 That the people of Jonesboro and else where may know the true situation at Jonesboro in reference to the trouble in the school, we wish to say that on July 25 we held a meeting in MT. Scotts of- fice in Bessemer at MT. Scotts request, and when it was ascertained that the pub lie school money from the county board was insufficient for more than a seven- months school, and acting under the di- rection of the county board of education, we ordered a seven-months term of the school.
 After this was done we rendered to Professor Morris. the principal, the use of the school building and our moral sup port for any additional. supplementary or pay school for any length of time but it was stipulated that he would be held responsible to the teachers for this extra time. MT. Morris fatly refused this offer and asked us to reconsider and change the proposition. This we refused to do.
 "We met this morning and accepted MT. Scott's resignation. We also elected John D. Brady to fill his place. MT. Brady has accepted and we hope to have every thing running smoothly in few days
 "we are now figuring with another teacher to take the place of Professor Morris and we hope to have everything ready for the opening of school in duo time to make out the seven months. When principal and assistant have been elect ed we shall make them the same propo- sition that was made Professor Morris in reference to an extra or supplement tarY term %

SCHOOL TROUBLES
 ARE INCREASING
Brighton School Building Has
 Two Sets of Locks
BRADY ELECTED TRUSTEE
Chambers McAdory and D. w. Houston Explain the Situation In Public School at Jonesboro-NeW
 Teachers Will Be Elected.

Bessemer. September 1.-(Special.) .)-The doors of the public school building at Brighton were treated to a second SC. of locks last night and now all the en- frances to the building are doubly se- sure from intrusion.
 It Is said that this second set of locks was placed on the doors last night by some one who objects to the opening or the school next Tuesday by the regular ly elected principal, Prof. B. F. Crump.
 It ia claimed that this faction is be- ing led by one of the members of the board of trustees who, 1t is said nas re- fused to, meet with the other trustees In any of the meetings.
 The situation at Brighton Is similar to that ot Jonesboro, where the principal and one of the teachers resigned their places yesterday along with AinKney Scott, one of the trustees
 No one seems to know who put the new locks on the doors of the school br,ldine at Brighton but they were there this morning and the general understand ing is that they were put on by those opposing the opening of the school by Professor Crump.
 The situation, while 1t Is uncomfortable. is rather amusing from the fact that the two factions in the school have keys to the building, and yet neither can open the building on, account of the locks of the other faction. In other words. both factions are locked against each other.
 It has been announced that the school term would begin next Tuesday and the final outcome of the situation Is watched with considerable interest
 The Jonesboro Matter.
 John B. Brady was elected this morn ing to fill the vacancy on the board of trustees of the Jonesboro school. caused by the resignation of Pinkney Scott yes terday. The vacancy was filled in a special meeting of tn eboard of trus- tees composed of Chambers McAdory and D. w. Houston. MT. Scotts resignation was accepted as were the resignations of Prof. J. o. Morris, principal. and Miss Zuma Heren, teacher, which were filed with that of MT. Scott.
 The board announces that they will elect q principal to succeed Professor Morris at an early date and will permit the teaching of an eight months school in the public school building If the people so desire. The matter of sustaining an enght months term seems to be the cause of all the trouble in both the Jones' boro and Brighton schools.
 Another live wire in the situation seems to be the election of five trustees instead of three. The new school law provides for the election of five trustees in districts where eight-months' terms are sustained. Brighton and Jonesboro have had eight and nine months of school for some time. but since the passage of the new law 1t Is claimed that a faction at both places is fighting the election of the two ex- tra trustees. The extra trustees have been elected at both places, but on ac- count of the disturbances that arose at

REPORTS ON COTTON CROP

Montgomery. September 1.-(Special)- State Superintendent of Education l. W. Hill left tonight for north Alabama, after spending only a day In his office and catching up with the routine. He is spend- Ing every moment of his time in the fight for local taxation for the support of schools, which he considers one Of the most important interests of the state just now.
 There have been some matters pertain ing to the school book supply to look afqter, and this has taken up some time. This is necessary because of the near ap- proach of the school sessions.
 MT. Hill says that the sentiment for better schools in the state is nothing short of overwhelming. Everywhere the people are fighting for more funds and better facilities and the privilege of do- Ing what they can for their own help.
 Cotton Crop Notes.
 The cotton crop returns to the office of the state commissioner of agriculture today include reports from several sec tions outside the state. E. S. Peters wires from Calvert, Tex. that that section is at 69, with the crop the poorest in east and north Texas ever known. M H. Thomas says that Dallas territory Is at @, with high temperature, and Walter Clark of ClaFksdale, Miss. puts his ter ritory at 69, as compared to last year 66 Tennessee, where the yield Is very small, Is S2. reported by Commissioner of Agri- culture Oglevie, while Georgia Is at 66 and Alabama 65, as compared to last year.
 Commissioner Poole is confident that Alabama will not make over a million bales this year, and expects to see a good price received for 1t. When asked if he thought the crop should be held for high price he replied: 'I have nothing to say about that, other than that l am holding mine just now"
 Reward Offered.
