RURAL SCHOOLS
 OPENED YESTERDAY

Yesterday was opening day for most of the rural schools of Jefferson county. the day being set by the county Board of Education. All the county schools were opened except those in farming dis tricts, where there are yet crops to be gathered.
 Prof. I. w McAdory, county superin- tendent of education. reports that every thing looks promising for an excellent term during the eight months when the rural schools are in session. While there is nothing extraordinary to mark the opening of the schools. the Board of Edu- cation has worked hard to get everything in readiness No pains have been spared, and there is not child in a rural com munity of Jefferson county who will be denied a common school education.
 Teachers for each of the rural schools have been engaged by individual con tract with the county Board of Education and the office of the board at the court house has been busy scene all during September. During the last week Super intendent McAdory and President R. G. Hewitt of the board signed contracts almost as fast as they could write their signatures.
 There are more than 65,000 educable children white and black, in Jefferson county, of which not more than 50,00O reside in Birmingham, Bessemer and other municipal corporations which have school systems of their own. Less than half of the remaining 15.000 will attend the rural schools, but it is declared that nothing better can be expected without compulsory education laws.

PINCHOT SAYS HE
 IS AN INSURGENT

Knoxville, October 3.-''I am an in- surgent," declared Clifford Pinchot in an address on conservation at the Ap- palachian exposition today. The declara- ton was greeted with such applause that he added, And I, at least, am as glad of the fact as you seem to be-"
 He defined insurgency as being the same thing to the political world that con- servation is to the national resources. for it means the common sense adminis- tration of the government and affairs po- litical and means to stop administering few men of big wealth and to administer 1t for the rank and file. The conservation of the natural resources of the country is impossible before the legislators of spe- cial interests and capitalists are driven out of the country
 "The conservationists of the country are trying to make the resources of the land of the greatest value to all of the people. The resources belong to all the people and the conservat'-u na emta, a the most democratic that has h8fa sisftsi in the United States in l.er Ycaf anl no great movement of re sa vents hos gone forward more ra1i,Y

New York, October 3.-(Special.)- J. pour into the offices of fraudulent min- ing stock brokers of New York.

  heart" talks for the benefit of inves- tors through the medium of the malls But the investors have been so eager to seize the glittering offers to "dou- ble their nancy" and have thus so rap idly multiplied the holding offices for the reception of the money, that not until the past few months have the postal authorities in Washington come to realize that they must concentrate almost their entire force of men upon this one evil in order to get ahead of it. Therefore, Inspector Dickson, whose brilliant work as the man to put a check on the green goods" game, has been placed in charge of the New York department in which territory the fakes have centralized. His force of inspectors has been augmented and in structions have been issued to begin a drastic campaign.
 The Sheftels raid was the first fruits of the campaign.

MAYOR HAS GOOD LAUGH
 OVER PROPOSED LAWS

One of the first communications re- oeived yesterday by Mayor Culpepper Exum was a skeleton for a proposed au- E. R. Grasseli, of the Grasseh Chemical company, Cleveland, O., and it caused the first hearty laugh that Gully has enjoyed since reaching the city hall.
 "On discovering an approaching team the automobilist will stop offside and cover his machine with tarpaulin paint ed to correspond with the scenery.
 ''rhe speed limit on country roads this year will be a secret, and the penalty for violation will be $10 for every mile an offender is caught going in excess of it.
 Tn case the automobile makes the team run away the penalty will be $50 for the first mile, s1o0 for the second mile, 800 for the third mile. etc., that the team runs away, in addition to the usual dam ages.
 ''On approaching a corner where he cannot command view of the road the automobilist must stop not less than a hundred years from the turn, toot his HOIU rlnB Dells nulOO ana send up three bombs at intervals of five minutes.
 Automobiles must be reasonably paint ed that is, so that they will merge with the pastoral ensemble and not be start ling. They must be green in spring, golden in summer, red in autumn and white in winter.

Seattle. Wash, October 3.-Sixteen thousand dollars in gold bullion and large sum in Canadian and American
 bank notes estimated by the postonice auth critics at s5ooo formed the prize
 that prompted the footing of the mall

 Investigating the theft assert that
 three men were in the conspiracy to rob
 the steamer. Tom Buckley, alias Will
 Hams. was arrested today and $10,oo0
 in gold, a large roll of bills, were found in his possession. The detectives de- clare they have learned the names of the other men in the plot.
 Gustave c. Berlin, member of the crew, was arrested last night on sus- picion. After careful checking, the registered mail pouches show that $16.oo0 in gold shipped from Dawson to banks In Seattle and Denver was stolen from the mail room.

 With reference to Adams county. MT. Wilson said:
 'It has been urged by those of pessimistic frame of mind regarding the cotton situation in infested dis tricts that while 1t might be practical to grow small patches of cotton suc- cessfully that the cultural methods were not practical on any large scale.
 "In Adams county, where the dam age has been greater than in any other county in Mississippi. there is found conclusive refutation of this theory. On Beverly plantations. owned by Fleming Brothers of Natchez, 1 saw 200 acres of cotton which had been worked strictly according to govern ment methods under the supervision of c. H. Afford one of our agents, and these 200 acres will yield fully 100 bales. Tn Pike county found conditions there about as they were in Hinds county Pike has been infested some time. They will make about 50 per cent of normal crop although many of the demonstration farms will do splendidly and again show that the pest can be beaten"
 Mir Wilson says 1t is impossible at this date to tell how far the weevil will advance before the close of the present season as 1t all depends upon the date of first frost. The weevil moves from the first to the middle of August until frost and then no new territory is invaded until the next summer However, the government is of the opinion that the weevil will invade a goodiy amount of territory within the next month or two.

UNITED EFFORT TO
 IMPROVE PRISONS

Washington, October 3.-Payment of prisoners according to their industry to insure protection for their families and their own rehabilitation on release was recommended to the international prison congress today by the section on "pre- ventive means.
 The resolution provoked heated discus sion In the congress not because the principle of caring for prisoners families was opposed, but because it was not so worded as to fit adoption in several coun- tries, including the United States. where prisoners are unable under existing law to earn any money.
 The subject was referred back to the section on motion of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young of Chicago. A resolution favor ing the provision of productive work for prisoners, including those in houses of detention and county jails, was adopt ed by the congress. It was recommended by the section on prison administra- tion,' which spent the morning In dis cusslng it. It provides for central con- trol of the work and officials specially trained to direct such employment.
 While not opposing the adoption of the resolution, Senor Pierantoni of the Ro- man senate pointed out the difficulties in the way of the suitable employment for prisoners without mourning the opposition of labor unions. He said that prison made goods were made exclusively by the government, but the unions objected even to this on the ground that 1t was depriv- Ing their members of work to which they were entitled. The official newspaper of the kingdom was printed in prison, he said
 The congress was in session today only a short time, adjourning early in order to permit the delegates to attend re- ception rendered them by President and Mrs. Henderson at the New Willard hotel
