PUBLIC SCHOOLS
GROWING FAST
Enrolment Almost Doubled in Past
Few Years---More Room Needed.

The city schools opened on last
Tuesday morning with an enrolment
of 500 white pupils. There were 1856
last year when the school closed.
Professor Dumas came to Marietta
in 1903 when there were only 47o chill
dren in attendance. Last year theI G
were fifty children who could not find
places in the schools. Twelve were
refused admission at the opening Of
this term.
Prof Dumas is very faithful to his
trust as superintendent of the city
schools and devotes all his time to his
duties His heart as well as his head
is in his work for the children of Mari
eta and he is deeply interested in the
matter of providing room for all CHI
dren old enough to be in school. He
has given the above information about
the schools without comment and
merely as an item of interest to the
public. The crowded condition of our
the overworked teachers and
the old and inadequate High School
building are too well known to be men
toned

REPORT ON FIRES
FOR PAST YEAR.
Fine Showing is Made by Marietta's
Fire Department.

One hundred and twelve thou
sand dollars worth of property was
threatened with destruction by fire
in Marietta during the year just
closed, with total damage of only
$26.391, which was covered by $4O;-
600 of insurance. These amounts
are distributed among thirty-two
separate fires, of which the Black
Building was the biggest. The loss
on the Black Building was 1000
and the contents $4,000.
These records speak we'll for the
efficiency of our fire department and
help more than anything else to re-
duce the cost of fire insurance to the
property owners. We cannot re-
frain from speaking a word of
praise for our fire chief, Mr.. Mace
Morris, who has now been on duty
for nearly two years, both day and
night, not having had the pleasure
of spending an evening at home
with his family or losing a sigle day
on account of sickness during that
length Of time. A few days vaca-
ton last summer is the only time he
has been out of range of the fire
bell.
Mr.. Morris requests that we ask
the members of the Volunteer com
pany to always respond to alarms,
as their help is always badly needed.

RECEIVER APPOINTED
FOR MARBLE COMPANY
National Marble & Granite Company
Involuntary Bankrupt. Glenn
Giles Appointed Receiver.

Mr.. j. Glenn Giles has been ap-
pointed receiver for the National
Marble and Granite Co., following
the filing in Atlanta of an involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy by sew
eral creditors of the concern. Mr..
Giles has not yet been able to make
up an accurate estimate of the con-
dition of the company but the assets
apparently exceed the liabilities.
Mr.. A. V. Jones, secretary OF the
company is not in Marietta this week
and no statement as to the cause of
the trouble could be had. 1t is re-
ported, however, that inability to
collect some large outstanding ac-
counts has caused the company tenn
orary financial embarrassment.

The Last Of The Maine.
N. o. Daily Picayune.

Yesterday the hulk of the ILL.,
fated battleship Maine, which had
been raised out of the mud of tho
harbor of Havana, was towed out
to sea and solemnly consigned to
the deep. 1t was a fitting and
touching end for the old ship
which has played SO tragic q role
in the national history. No good
purpose could be subserved by
bringing the battered hulk home
to be exhibited as a relic. and as
all the bodies of gallant seamen
she entombed bad been carefully
removed and shipped homo for
burial in the national cemetery at
Arlington, the sinking of the
wreck in the deep water Of the
Gulf was a fittirg climax to her
career.
Although a naval board which
examined the wreck after it had
been uncovered rsaffirmed the YER
dict of the original court of inqui-
ry to the effect that the ship had
been blown up by some outside
agency, there will always remain
a serious doubt as to the true cause
of the terrible tragedy which plum
ged two nations in war. The bu-
rial of the wreck at sea put an end
to all controversy. The Maine
henceforth will be but a memory,
and it is better FOR the two nations
concerned that the discussion of
the actual cause of her destruction
be brought to al end and the
whole said subject forgotten.
