COUNTY CHILDREN
MAY ATTEND CITY
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

If tentative plans which have been
worked out by the school authorities
materialize, and the prospects are
very encouraging, children living in
the county may attend the schools of
Columbus without paying tuition.
1t is planned to have the Board
of Supervisors pay out of the general
fund an amount for each child equal to
the pro rata cost of maintaining the
schools in the county.
The superb school system of Column
bus is sought after by the advanced
pupils of the county where advanced
schools are not available, and there is
a feeling here that our schools should
be opened to children in the county
who have not the advantage of the
we'll ordered schools.
1t is the sincere hope of the citizen
ship Of Columbus that the matter may
be adjusted on the basis outlined
above, and that the excellent school
advantages of this city may be made
available to as many children as it is
possible for them to accommodate.

LADIES MEET
COLLEGE GIRLS
Women OF Columbus Do Handsome
Thing Towards Incoming
Students.

The fine spirit of the women of Co
lumbus-a spirit that was responsive
to the new order of things made pos
sitle by the splendid enthusiasm en-
gendered by the Chamber of Com
merce movements being demon
strated this week in connection with
the opening of the Mississippi State
College for Women.
Committees have been formed, and
all incoming trains over the Mobile
q Ohio are being met and the college
students are being carried to the in
stitution in cars.
With the street cars gone, and the
coming in of a hundred or more girls
on one train, and the station a mile
from the college, serious situation
would have developed.
But, the ladies met the emergency
handsomely, and all students were met
at the trains and carried to the col
lege in automobiles.
This courtesy is appreciated by the
girls, and it will be appreciated the
more when the news gets back to the
parents at home.
1t is the new spirit of Columbus.

NEGRODROWNED
in GRAVEL PIT
TWO HORSES ALSO DROWNED
WHEN TEAM AND WAGON
DROP OFF EMBANKMENT

John Fulgham, a negro drayman,
and two horses were drowned yester-
day morning at IL o'clock in the Sher-
rod gravel pit in South Columbus.
Fulgham had driven his team to the
pit for water, and the team and wagon
slipped off an embankment into deep
water in the bottom Of the pit.
The negro was caught under the
team and the front Of the wagon and
drowned before assistance could reach
him. Both of the horses succumbed
also.
By the time rescuers reached the
scene, Fulgham was dead, although
every effort was made to resuscitate
him.
The pit is located south of the plant
of the Arkay Stave Works in South
Columbus, and deep water stands in
one section Of the pit.

totaled 275, and at Union Academy

PRESIDENT j. Y. FAINT, the new pres
ident and executive head of the insti-
ton, will be formally presented to the
student body this morning at the open
ing exercises in the chapel at 1890.
President FAINT has been actively di-
recting the affairs of the institution
since the first Of September, and he
has shown rare ability in mastering
the many complex problems that he
has been called upon to face.
He has been constantly in the exec
utive offices interviewing members
of his official staff, members Of the
faculty and student body. He has
been flooded with petitions and re-
quests from all sections of the state
for admission Of students, but the in
adequacy Of the dormitory facilities at
the institution have forced him to
turn away hundreds of girls who have
sought admission.
Monday afternoon the initial facul
ty meeting was held. Plans and pol
icies of the new administration were
gone over, and other matters incident
to the formal opening were discussed.
Students began pouring into Column
bus on Monday, and yesterday hun
dreds came in on all incoming trains.
The ladies of Columbus, responsive
to the new spirit of the New Column
bus, did the handsome thing for the
college girls. They organized teams
and met the girls at the Mobile &
Ohio station in automobiles and con-
veyed them to the college. With the
street car service gone, the problem Of
the girls getting from the station to
the college was serious one, and the
situation was adequately met by the
thoughtfulncss and the fiaSaspirit Of
the ladies of the city.
From present indications it may be
judged that the attendance this year
will break all previous attendance rec
ords. The students are being taken
care of in the best way possible.
Private homes are being thrown open
to both teachers and students, and
the dormitories are loaded to their
full capacity. Many of the teachers
are rooming in the Music Hall and
other buildings on the campus.
