PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN AUGUST 10
CoLORED SCHOOLS WILL START
ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF
THE MONTH.

Maury county's public schools,
with the exception of those at Gull
leoka and other places where they
are supported in part by public sub.
scription, will open on the second
Monday of August. The colored
schools of the county will open on
the first Monday of August. It is
probable that the new school books
will not be ready for the opening OF
the term and in that event, instead
of changing the text books in the mid
die of the term with the consequent
decentralization, no change will be
made until the next term Of school.
The Culleoka school will begin the
term on the first Monday of Septem-
BET.

DEATH LIST CUT DOWN
Not More Than Fifty Perished in
Royalt0n Mine Disaster.

Royalton, Oct. 2S-The exact death
toll Of the explosion that wrecked the
mine of the Franklin Coal and Coke
company here yesterday morning was
not known this morning. "a hours later.
but latest figures placed the deaths at
so. The night shift of rescue workers
brought the number of recovered bodies
to 81 and reported five other bodies
visible but not accessible to the res
cuers. The mine officials said this
morning that ZIG miners, seven OF them
inbred, escaped Immediately following
the blast and these together with the
dead and missing account for the SS5
men that entered the shaft yesterday
morning to begin their days work.
The night shift OF rescue workers
made great progress last night and it
is thought by noon all the wreckage
will have been cleared from the
wrecked shaft and the positive death
toll ascertained. But eleven Of the dead
have been identified and most of the
other bodies are mangled SO badly that
Identification will be impossible. The
number of rescuers was doubled this
morning.
State Mine inspectors Reed and Cart
ledge closed the morgues to the reia-
tives Of the dead to alleviate the hys-
terra among the women and children.
They said they would not begin their
investigation Of the disaster until the
last body had been removed, but the
coroner's jury started an inquest. The
injured. all suffering from gas poison
ing, are at hospitals in critical condi-
lions.
