STUDENTS ENROLL
 AT UNIVERSITY Doors Are Open for Assign
 ment to Classes REAL WORK ON MONDAY This Years School Prospects Are Ex- ceptiOnally Good-D DOrmitories Are Filling Fast Much More
 COmmodious Than Usual
REAL WORK ON MONDAY

University, September 5.-(Speciai.)- Tomorrow morning at o'clock the uni versity throws open it's doors for the enrollment and examination of new stu dents and the assignment of those ad- mitted to classes. For two days this will continue, and on Thursday morn ing the regular opening will take place with the enrolment of old students. On Friday and Saturday the professors will meet their classes, and Monday should see the work of the college of arts and sciences, of the college of engineering, and of the school of law well under way.
 The prospects for this, the 18th session of the university, seem unusually fair. The advance reservation of rooms in the dormit ories, which is usually taken as a basis for estimating the attendance, is considerably larger than heretofore and points to the largest number of students in the history of the institution. And this. despite the fact that on account of the increased entrance requirements more students than ever before have been turned away for lack of preparation for the freshman class. Many of these will, no doubt. help to swell the attendance of institutions of lower grade.
 Already the advance guard of students old and new is on hand. These began to arrive in Tuscaloosa as early as last Friday, the old men for the most part to look after the interests of their fra ternities and the new ones in anticipa- tion of entrance examinations. By to- morrow night, or Wednesday at latest the summer quiet of the campus will be a thing of the past and the quadrangle will be alive with students gathered in groups and agog with interest over the many subjects that fill the college mans mind.
 For the past week the professors have been returning from their vacations to take up the years work, and now prac- tically all of them are on the grounds. Among the latest arrivals are Profs. college, Dr. Sayre of the department of mathematics. and Dr. saffold of the de- partment of Latin. The new athletic di- rector and coach, Guy s. Lowman came in Friday noon and he will begin the working out of his candidates for the football team as soon as sufficient number of students arrive.
 The university Is better prepared than ever to take care of its students this year. With Garland and Manly halls thoroughly repaired and renovated this summer the dormitories will be com modious and comfortable-ample it seems to accommodate all them who may de- sire to live around the quadrangle, the center of university life.

TWO ARE GUT BY
 JEALOUS SINGERS
THEY WERE NOT INVITED TO SING IN CHURCH CHOIR-AR- RESTS ARE MADE

Georgetown, September 5.-(Special.)- A small settlement six miles from Oak Grove, Ala, last night was the scene of a wholesale cutting affray, the trouble resulting from jealousy because a party of four young men who resided near Georgetown were invited to sing in the church choir, while four other young men were not. Two men were seriously cut and are now inmates of the City hospital in Mobile.
 The> injured: Felix Lee, aged 15. Stabbed through, the right lung; chances of recovery remote. Lytleton Lee, brother of Felix. Cut on head and has deep cut in the right arm near shoul- der; limb almost severed. Members of the choir. in addition to the wounded men, were Roy and Marshall Lee, the four being brothers. Those charged with having led the attack are Homer George, Cecil Brunson and John and West Can trll. The latter reside in Georgetown.
 Lytleton Lee, relating the cause of the affray, said that week ago they had been invited to sing in the choir. The GeOrBetOWn DOyS resented tnlS ana the Lee boys were told to keep away from the choir. No attention was paid to the threat and when the Georgetown boys were invited to settle the difficulty they accepted the challenge. Homer George is charged with having used the knife.
 Warrants have been issued for the ar rest of the Georgetown quartet.
 The head of a skunk. shipped to Mo- bile, and hence to Montgomery from Grand Bay Ala, when examined by Dr. F. M. Mason, bacteriologist of the Pas teur institute, disclosed the presence of rabies The skunk was the animal that recently bit the son of NJ. owen of Grand Bay. The theory is advanced that the skunk contracted madness from eating the carcass of some infected animal. The boy will be given treatment at Mont gomery.
