BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !
Bessemer. Ala,, Sept. 15 l


 Everything is in readiness for the | opening of the Bessemer public schools on Monday morning. Appro- priate exercises are to be held at each school at o'clock, and the en- Irollment this year is expected great ly to exceed that of any previous year, in spite of the fact that no county elementary pupil will be en- rolled in the city schools, as county officials consider that ample spece has been provided in the recently completed schools in the country.
 The public has been invited to att tend the exercises in the morning at the various schools, and a large gath ering is expected at the high schools where a special opening program is to be carried out in the chapel The exercises there will be under the di- rection of the board of education.
 The principal speakers there. will be Hugh McEniry r. Q. Heller and Rev. Roy Chandler The announce ments for the year will be made by Supt L. L. Vann, while Principal C. E. Collins will also make short talk. The members of the board of educa- tion, N. B. Parker, pr, E. w. McNeil, E. A Dudley, C. E. Hawkins and pr. T. c. Donald, will also take part.
 The enrolment at the high school last year was 616. and this year it is expected that there will be consider ably more to attend. Registration day was held at all the schools Friday when new and conditioned pupils were enrolled, and this registration exceeded that of last year at every school.
 There were 1.500 students enrolled at the negro schools of the city Fri day, and hundreds more are expected to put in an appearance Monday and Tuesday. Of this number 1000 were enrolled at the new negro high school, which also includes several of the elementary grades.
 The teachers institute was brought to close Thursday at the high school for the white teachers and at the negro high school for the colored teachers. The courses were attended by practically every teacher who will be connected with the city schools
 The rural schools opened in the Bessemer district on Wednesday of this week with heavy enrollments everywhere. Two new schools were added to the county board this year, the new P. M. McNeil school at West Highlands and the Brighton school. The former is occupying temporary quarters leased by the county until the building there can be completed. The Brighton school was taken over by action of the state legislature.

The bill of Representative Bowen depriving citizens of cities in this county from voting for a majority of the members of the beard of educa- tion will not be brought up again in the legislature. Information to this effect was received in Fairfield Fri day and indicates that the measure condemnation of many patriotic citizens has been put to sleep and will not come to life again during the next few years. No official in- formatCn has been given out. but it is stated upon the highest authority that Mr. Bowen agreed with some Birmingham friends to forget the measure and permit it to die where 1t now stands.
 The bill was aimed, it is believed, at the forces that brought about the election two years ago of Dr. Wilson and J. D. Moore of Birmingham. It contained the amazing provision that a resident of a city of over l2000 should not be permitted to vote on the member to be elected next year to take the place of Col. John w. Minor of Ensley. unless he runs and is elected again which is most prob able. The measure also provided that two Cf these members should be residents outside of cities having the above number of inhabitants and should have no voice in their cleo tion.
 In this city. in Ensley and else where In the county the facts of the bill leaked out. and the consterna- ton of the public was beyond de- scription. The measure was vigor- ously opposed in Birmingham.
