TROY SCHOOL OPENS.
Large Attendance WiE Necessitate Ad-
 dftionaI Teachers.

Troy, Sept. -(SpeciaD-The open ing of the city graded school this morning was most suspicious and showed the condition of the school to be flourishing. the enrolment of more than 300 pupils being an advance of 100 over the opening of last year. This increase Is due to the excellence of the school system and also to the fact that the Board of Trustees has made the schools absolutely free of charge. The opening exercises were held in the chapel and were presided over by the Superintendent. Prof. John P. Selman. After the devotionalJ exercises and an interesting talk of welcome by Prof. Selman, Miss Bessie Rainer. the teach CT of elocution. delighted the pupils by the reading of an incident in the life of a little hero of the Far West. Prof. Selman has raised the curriculum of the school and has added ninth grade, which is really equal to first grade high school.
 The efficient corps of teachers all hold the required State certificates and are as follows: First Grade (a). Miss Wilson; First Grade tb), Miss Myra Segars; Second Grade, Miss Bernice Cowart; Third Grade. Mrs. J. B. Wiley; Fourth Grade, Miss Pearl Gel lerstedt: Fifth Grade. Miss Loutie Will kerson; Sixth Grade, Miss Lucille Elan; Seventh Grade, Miss Julia Jernigan; Eighth Grade, Miss Leila Williams; Ninth Grade, Miss Lizzie Lane. and teacher of music. Miss Nell Murphree. The crowded conditions of some of the grades will necessitate the employment of additional teachers at once.

LOCKRIDGE CAPTURED
WAS WANTED, BUT THOUGHT TO
 BE DEAD.
Much Interest at Birmingham fin Judge Jones's Decision Regarding Kezs- Ter Company Case-Bran-
 dOn'n New once.

Birmingham, Sept. 1S.--(SpeciaI.1-- Frank Lockridge, a white man, arrest ed, tried and bound over under a bond of $1.000 on a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes about three years ago, and who was supposed to have died before his final trial, has been found and rearrested in West Point, Miss. He will accordingly be tried at the next session of the United States Court at Huntsville. This in- formation was received at the office of the United States marshal today.
 At the time of his arrest Lockridge was a resident of Detroit. Ala, which is in Lamar County. His preliminary hearing was had before United States Commissioner Shields at Jasper. After being released on bond he went to Aberdeen, Miss, where he and his wife lived for a time. It was reported that he went out with some dynamite to the Tombigbee river to shoot fish. Failing to return a search was insti- tuted and his tackle, boat, etc. were found, but no trace of the man was to be seen and he was given up for dead. The matter was thus reported to the Federal authorities and subsequently, dropped.
 few days ago Lockridge was rec ognized by Deputy Marshal J. w. Warren at West Point. He had grown a flowing beard. but the deputy recog- nized him. He will be tried at Hunts vile in q few days.

InAre Innen,a Decree.

Much interest is felt here In the an- nouncement of the decree just made by Federal Judge Jones in the famous case of lKessler & Go. against the Ems ley Company and others. This case has been under litigation for several years and involved the rights of cer- tain lands and property covering prac- ticaily the entire area of the city of EnsIey and a considerable portion be- yond The contestants on each side are prominent in the business affairs of this community and include pioneer developers of the district and the founders of Ensley. The suit for this final decree was submitted in the Uni ted States Court some time ago by the majority stockholders of the Ensley Land Company and sought to annul certain conveyances made by N. E.. Barker and James Bowron as trustees to the Ensley Company.
 The case was dismissed by Judge Jones on the ground that 1t was high ly ineauitable for the complainants to remain idle for four years" He says further: "They had no right in equity and good conscience to speculate upon the defendants during this long period while they were making up their minds whether they would claim the benefits of the venture if 1t proved successful ana leave the loss to fall upon the de- fendants If 1t turned out disastrously.

RIDER HAeeARp,s QUEST

The author of "She" and other weird
literary productions has been making
tour of this country for the purpose
of ascertaining the success of the i'm
migrant colonies established in the
west by the Salvation Army. In a re-
cent interview Mr.. Haggard stated
frankly that he had been commissioned
by his government to collect statistics
in regard to the success of these ex-
periments, explaining that England had
in mind the establishment of similar
ones in the colonial dependencies. pro-
viding it was demonstrated that they
could be made successful "At the
present moment in England" said Mr..
Haggard, 1--WE have but one-seventh of
our population on the land. In the
United States, if the figures given me
are correct, matters are very little bet
ter"
Yet anybody familiar with conditions
In both countries will have to admit
that England's problem is much the
more serious. Cities, to be sure. are
overcrowded here, but the overcrowd-
ing is chiefly due to the large influx of
immigrants who persist in locating in
the crowded centers. The pioneer in
stinct is still alive in the native stock,

ism which has been in evidence in the
building on Sundays ought to be
stopped. Equally of course it could be
stopped within twenty-four hours.
Proper rules for the conduct of those
visiting the building on Sundays could
be passed and enforced. Every one of
these high spirited and ill intentioned
young persons has holy horror of be-
ing run in" The calling of a patrol
wagon and the conducting of one batch
of them to a place Of durance would
clear the corridors in five minutes. All
that is necessary for keeping the capi-
tol open on Sunday and affording de-
light to those who would enjoy and
who are entitled to visit is an eff
cient, executive administration on the
part of those charged with the care
of the building.
Within thirty days of the passage of
the abominable capitol bill it has been
demonstrated by practice that it was
a foolish and criminal blunder to take
&C ntrol of the building out of the hands
of executive authority, prepared and
competent to act. and give it to those
who can save the rights of the public
and preserve the building from per-
manent injury only by locking the
doors and building a fence around it.
The contrast between the actual situa-
ton and the false and insincere argu-
ments put forward in favor of the Hor-
ton bill ought TO make every man who
supported that measure hide his face in
shame
