NThe schools for white children in Alexander City are off to good start this year with an enrolment of something like 1000 pupils at the beginning. which will be largely in- creased later on in the term. The largest enrolment, by far, ever seen in the local schools will be seen this year. because of the large number of new people who have already moved in and who will move in dur ing the year.
 Because of the new cotton mills being erected there will be at least a thousand people added to the popula- tian and, of course, several hundred children will be in the number. Many believe that the enrolment will cas- fly go to the 1 500 mark during the year.
