4 MERCER OPENS NEXT WEDNESDAV Enrollment of New Pupils Will Be Larger Than Ever Before. NO MORE FOOTBALL The Faculty is Against the Game and Will Not Allow It Frater nities Are at Work. On Wednesday. the 21st, M-rcer will throw open its floors to the young men of the South. Pupite from all sections are <-xjx-cte.l to enter this fall and all indica tions point to the most successful term in the history of the school. Prof-.- or Pollock .-ays that the number of new etude ruts will exceed that of lasi year and that a majority of the old stu dents will return. The number of new pu pils at Mercer last year was very large, and the total number of students was 300. This year Professor Pollock expects that the enrollment will far exceed that of laet. In speaking of the prospects yesterday he said: "We are expecting a large number of new students this year, and all indications now show that w< will got them. Many of the old ptijitis will also return, and, of cours. , that will greatly add to the num ber of students. The letters of inquiry about the college have averaged eighteen per day all during the summer, and I think that the school is will known." He was ask'd if there would be any changes in the faculty or in the course of study, and he said that there will be no changes in 'the faculty 'and the course of study will remain pratically the same. He sail that the faculty and the board of trustees were highly in favor of the inter-* collegiate debates, and that the two bodies would encourage them a much as possible. But In regard to football, Professor Pol lock said. "The students last year, after the unfortunate accident, met and decided that they would discontinue the game at 'Mi re r. Several days later tihe faculty met and took the same action, which, though not altogether abolishing the game was practically tin satm thing. The faculty is in favor of athletic sports of all kinds un der certain limitations, and would much prefer that the students would substitute some otther game in its place. Public sen timent is very much against the football gatne and it is such a dangerous game.. We will encourage all other kinds of ath* letlc sports." He was asked if the football players al ways took a good stand in their classes. He said: "1 am not in a position to answer that, but I am of the opinion that the leaders of football 'are no up to the standard.” It now seems a settled fact that Mercer will not be allowed to play football this year. This, of course, will be a source of great disappointment to tthe lovers of the game, but the game has never been popu lar at Mercer, and as the faculty is 'against it. all hope of having a team this year has been dispelled. Many of the students will hoard at the dormitory, but over two-thirds will board In the city. The fraternities have already begun •working spiking new men Several of th fra tern lit i<.- have held meet ines and are giv ing the new men the dead "rush." The "rush” season at the opening of a col lege where there are Greek letter frater nlties is the most ineresting part of the session. Already many new men have been pledged to join and the fraternities are still at work. The board of trustees have also been at work for Mercer and have secured .many new students. The term will be, no doubt, the most successful in the history of the Institution, and the enrollment of new pu pils will greatly exieed that of any other session. With Professor Pollock at the ihel'm, the college is sure to come out in the lead. Following is a complete list of tlhe faculty: P. 1». Pollock. V M.. L. L.

COTTON WENT ' DOWN AGAIN Notwithstanding Reports of Trouble With the Crop in Some Parts of South. STOCKS LOOK STRONG But Grain and Provisions Were In active-Yellow Fever Reports Affect Southern Stocks. Specially reported for The News by Tal bott & Palmer. New York, Sept. 14—Leading operators were bullish on the market in spite of heaviness and advised conservative pur chases on further declines. The street sen timent was rather bearish as considerable stock is undigested. The best information is that this week will see the end of the danger of money troubles. There is evi dence of the money lenders taking advan tage of the present situation to get as high rate as possible, we do not fear stringency. The accumulation of People’s gas by in siders continue in spite of denials of the settlement of the Indiana gas matter. Yellow fever makes the sentiment rela tively bearish on Southern stocks although so far there is no serious developments of epidemic. The Manhattan earnings for the September quarter barely exceeded the fixed charges. The absence of the decline of stock in the face of such facts is consider ed significant of some new developments. The break in sugar resulted from opera tions of powerful interests believed to be at the head of the bear campaign. SPOT COTTON. Macon —Middlings 4%. NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.

Brooks County Will Probably Have an Election in the Near Future. Quitman, Ga., Sept. 14—Brooks county is thoroughly stirred on the question of prohibition and a local option election will be held here in the near future. Rev. J. W. Lee, of North Carolina, the noted tem perance evangelist, who figured so con-*, splcuously in the elections in Randolph and Sumter, counties in Georgia, and Hamilton county in*Florida, has been here for the past ten dafs carrying on a tent meeting and running a crusade in favor of prohibition. He came here under the combined auspices of the Methodist, Bap tist and Presbyterian churches of the city and his work has been nothing short of phenomena!. His audiences have recorded the high water mark in audiences for any kind in the county. His tent has a seating capacity of 5,000 and each meeting for the past week it has been filled to its utmost. The audiences which greet him come not only from the town, but from the country for a radius of fifteen miles around, and by his logic and eloquence he holds their attention for hours at a time. Mr. Lee is a powerful speaker and his lectures and sermons on the ravishes of rum and the curse of the open saloon have aroused and had a wonderful effect on the people of the county. The legal require ment to order an election on the whisky question in this county is 250 qualified voters. This number he secured the first opportunity given and now has on his pe tition more than 500 names of legal quali fied voters. Brooks county has always been considered safely in the wet columns, but today there is hardly a man who does not place it in the list of drys, and there can be no doubt but if the election was held tomorrow that whisky would be voted out. Mr. Lee is a native Irishman and his eloquence and earnestness impress the people. He will remain here another week and then goes to take up the same work in Thomas county. He will go to Bibb county in the near future and will be- in Fulton during the fall. He says he intends drying the state of Georgia.

EXPORTS To England Five Times as Much as Our Im ports from There. U S EXPORTS ?. Washington, Sept. 14 —The United States merchants are gaining hand over hand in the fight for trade with their British cou sins. This is infallibly shown by the great decrease in imports from England and the tremendous increase in exports to that country of articles made by us. According to the bureau of statistics, the imports from Great Britain during the last year fell off 35 per cent, while the exports of manufactured goods to England increased 12. In round numbers the exports to Eng land were five times as much as the im ports from that country. GARRISON FORCES. Miles Estimates 50,000 for Cuba and 12,- • 000 for Puerto Rico. New York.

JANITORS WILL WEAR UNIFORMS Professor Abbott Decides to Keep the Jani tors of the Schools in Uniform. The janitors of the public schools will hereafter wear uniforms. The uniforms will be gray and white -duck. In the winter season they will wear the grey and in the summer they will apepar in white duck. The janitors of the schools hertofore have been untidy, but Professor Abbott has de cided that they must always be neat and has adopted the above uniform. He has also adoped another plan by which visitors to the schools can be shown to the rooms they wish to visit without dif ficulty. They will be met at the door of the school by the janitor, just as if they were at a private residence, and he will show them to the rooms they wish to visit. This will save a great deal of trouble, as the visitors,heretofore would generally in terrupt several classes before the found the one they wished to visit. Professor Abbott's office has been very crowded all during th# morning and many people have applied for admission cards for their children. Professor Abbott is kept busy all during the day issuing cards and it will be some time before, this work is over. CHEAP RATES For Various Events Are Arranged on the Railroad.

DEWEY’S FLEET London Jonrnal Has Some Pertinent Re marks to Make. With the close of the war comes the news that the American government in tends to strengthen the Asiatic or Manila fleet by two battleships. The Oregon and Massachusetts will, in all probability, be the vessels chosen. At the same time it is likely that the Olympia will be relieved by the Minneapolis. When these changes have been carried out the American squad ron will rank third in far Eastern waters, the orders being England, Japan, the United States and Russia. Admiral Dewey will have under his command two battle ships, two monitors, five cruisers and a gunboat, all good fighting ships. The ab sence of the Oregon and Massachusetts will not be felt in the Atlantic, as by the close of the year the Kearsarge and Kentucky are to be ready for service, and early next year the Alabama. But the movement of force to the far East is very sifinificant at the present juncture. England, Japan and the United States, if their alliance comes within the scope of practical politics, would be able to bring overwhelming strength to bear against any other combi nation. —London Graphic. ONE PROBLEM In the League Seems to Have Been Defi nitely Settled. New York, Sept. 14.—H. R. Vonderhorst, owner of the Baltimore Baseball club, Is the first League magnate to openly confirm the story that a deal is talked of involving the transfer of tlhe Cleveland team to Washington Park, Brooklyn, together with a pooling of issues by Frank De Haas Rob ison and F. A. Abell. * “The. story,” said Mr. Vonderhost, “was correct in every detail. The scheme has been under consideration for some time past and only a few days ago Robinson consulted with me about it. He wanted to know whether I regarded the proposed deal as one that would result with jurofit, and I not only told 'him that it would, 'but also urged him to make it. “The Cleveland Club is a loser in the Forrest City now, and will never be able to make a success there again. The talk about locating the team in St. Louis and other places has had‘some truth in it, but the proposition to consolidate the Brooklyn and Cleveland teams, with headquarters at Washington Park, has got the League by ithe ears, and the club owners are dis cussing it from every standpoint. The fact is recognized that a winning team must be placed in 'Brooklyn next year or that club will have to go by the board. “Ribinson, as I say, has discussed the matter with me, and has also consulted other magnates who would like to see the deal consummated. They are all hoping that Robinson and Abell can get together,” THE BALE’S THE THING. Incident at One of the City Warehouses Yesterday.

Ain’t hard on me! An’ I'm still er gettin’ S3O fur mine’’ ‘ How’s that?” “Well,’ I puts 600 pounds in mine an’ go long! Talk erbout hard times—trouble is niggers study too much ’bout how much er pound, an’ don’t put ’nough cotton in dey bales.” “Well, but Lige, it takes more cotton, don’t you see?” “Don’t make no difference 'bout more cotton! plenty cotton ev’rywhar, niggers des too lazy to pick hit. No, sah, dey can’t run me out de market. De poorer de price de fatter my 'bale gbinter be, an’ de fatter de price de poorer de bale. Only way to stop me is de size o’ <iat door back dar. When I don’t git S3O for my cotton hits gointer be ’eause de bale too big ter git to de scales!’’ As the door referred to is about sixteen feet wide, Lige has a margin yet. , Pay third installment of city tax by September 15 and save tax execution.
