the track and cutting down the grades on the Mobile and Montgomery divis- ion One million dollars had been ap- propriated for the work on the NJ. and M. division, the most stupendous part of 1t being the straightening out of the track by means of long tunnel through the hills near Fort Deposit.
 The surveys, estimates and every thing necessary to begin work had all been made when radical legislation caused the depression and falling off in business to such a frightful extent that all of the work had to be order ed stopped. So far nothing has been said about beginning the work again but the chances are that 1t will be started again within the next few months. About aN~year ago business on the Louisville and Nashville was increasing so that the local yards over in North Montgomery had to be doubI- ed. Not very long after that business dropped to almost nothing. but in the last few weeks business improved so fast that the yards now are doing al- most as big a business as they did a year ago
 The yards are to be enlarged again and while no official announcement has been made yet. 1t Is known that the orders will be issued probably be- fore the end of next week When the addition is made the yards will be something over five miles from limit to limit and nearly 5000 cars can be handled in them. Roadmaster Shield Is just getting through with big piece of work over in the yards. At the north end of the yards he has had for the past few weeks force of men at work building spur tracks to the plant of the big Germo- Fertilizer Works Something over two miles of track will be built in all and MT. Shield hopes to have it all completed in a week or two.

CUMBERSOME BALLOT
TICKET FOX ELECTION TO HE
 LOADED DOWN
So Far Davidson Faction has Not With drawn Emblem and Nominees But Secretary of State Ex-
 pects ft Soon.

The report from Birmingham tn at the so-called Davidson wing of the Republican party had capitulated to the Thompson. or the Administration" wing, led to the belief that Secretary of State would receive a withdrawal of the emblem filed by the former wing also the list of nominees which was certified to that official several months ago. So far. however, the withdrawal has not been made.
 If the truce between the factions has no strings tied to 1t. there is no reason to expect the Davidson set of nominees to appear on the ballot Nov ember 3. Although Davidson followers were first in certifying their emblem and nominees to the Secretary of State, the Tn ompsonites are to be recognized as the official party orga- nfzation in the State. Of course, the seal of approval of the National exc cutiye committee of the Republican party. practically insured victory for the Taft" element.
 Yet. with the extra list of nominees of Republicans missing from the ballot 1t will be one of the bulkiest affairs in the history of Presidential elections. There will be at least four columns of candidates. representing as many parties which have qualified to the Secretary of the State to have the names placed on the ballot It Is not impossible that fifth may yet be reg istered. However, 1t is too late for any other organization to file Its em- blem as that time expired September 3.
 There has been some talk of the Prohibitionists entering the Alabama political field again. So far no official notice has been received by the Secre- tary of State in any form. The Prohis appeared on the ballot at the 1904 election.
 Those parties which have so far qualified to have their candidates names appear on the official ballot are the Democrats the Republicans, the Independents and Socialists. The Demo- crats and Republicans will have a full the case with the Independence and Socialist parties. The Independence party will have nominees for Congress- men and electors for President and Vice President while the Socialists will have only nominees for electors and for Congressman of the Ninth districtt
 When 1t is remembered that with this cumbersome list of candidates Is to appear the substance of the three pro- posed amendments to the Constitution. each on separate ballot, 1t begins to look as if the voter will have done good days work when he goes into the booth and votes intelligently for his choices. With all the extra things and persons to be voted for, the cleo tion officers will remain the same in

OPENING OF SCHOOLS
BELIEVED AN UNPRECEDENTED
 YEAR IS AHEAD.
Decrease in School Census of City Not Taken to Indicate . Possible Decrease in EnroIlment
 This Year.

It is predicted that when the pub : lie schools of Montgomery open to- morrow morning 1t will be the beEin- ming of an unprecedented year. Re- turns so far made bv principals of the various white schools indicate that the total enrolment yesterday was 457 This is, of course, only a nominal start in matricuiation as the great majority of the several thousand children of school age in this city will be enrolled this week on various days.
 The fact that the oficial school cen sus for the city showed 523 fewer chill dren of school age this year than the census for 1906 Is no sign that there has not been an actual healthy increase in the number of those of school age, or between the ages of and 21 years. The apparent shortage is due to the more accurate taking of the census this year. owing to reform laws instituted by Hon. Harry c. Gunnels, State Su- perintendent of Education.
 The principals and teachers for all the schools have already been selected. Their assignments have also been de- termined by the City Board of Educa- ton. Nothing remains now in the way of administrative work but to enroll and classify the army of children who will pour into the buildings tomorrow and for the next several days.
 Some extra thought will have to be given, of course. to the new textbooks which have been introduced into the public school system of the State on account of the recent adoutions of the Text Book Commission. This will re- quire studied preparation on the part of the teachers themselves as they are not used to some of the books which were approved. and will be used for the first time in Alabama. The Montgom- cry Fair, which is the local depository. has a heavy stock of books on hand. probably a sufficient supply for the schools of the city. Their supplies are for only Montgomery as they have no longer any wholesale trade in books.
 Tn these supplies. however. few books are missing and the publishers are being urged to get ready Tor the waiting pupils of the State at large as we'll as Montgomery. One or these ls known to be the Alabama History. IL is said that this book was adopted m manuscript form and rather incomplete, which leads to the belief that 1t may De several weeks before 1t Is available.
