THE KASTMAN* INSTITUTE.
Most Brilliant Opening In The History
of The School.
The fall term of the Eastman
Institute opened Monday morning
with the largest attendance ever
known at the beginning of any
term in the history of the schools.
The people of Eastman and the
able corps of teachers and the
board of education have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the
fine showing.
When the pupils, teachers and
parents assembled in the spacious
auditorium it was literally filled,
and the happy faces of alt those
present indicated an interest in
the education of the children of
Eastman and vicinity that has
never been equalled before.
Professor Hurst, the newly elec¬
ted principal delivered a short
address in which he outlined the
principles upon which the conduct
of the school would be based, after
which he read the rules of school
government laid down by the
board of education.
Hon. B. R. Calhoun, of the
board of education and Rev. J. C ‘
Brewton also delivered short ad¬
dresses full of timely suggestions
and advice to the pupils.
When all the pupils had retired
to their respective departments
and a canvass of their number
completed, it was found that there
were one hundred and seventy
seven present. On Tuesday
morning this number had iti
creased to 1H(5. We confidently
expect to see in attendance within
the next two weeks at least two
hundred and twenty five pupils,
and w T e would not be surprised to
see this number exceeded witlun
a very short time.
The Eastman Institute is just
now beginning to come to public
notice as an educational institu¬
tion of exceeding great merit and
being located in the healthiest
spot along the line of the South
ern Railway, and m the biggest,
most progressive town in the
Wiregrass, it can but increase in
popularity and substantial worth.
The curriculum of this school
j g a8 high as many institutions
termed “‘colleges” and has the
additional feature of being almost
entirely free; a place where an ed¬
ucation can be had for the asking
so far as the cost is concerned.
We believe that the people all
over this section of the country
will gradually have their eyes
opened to the exceptional advan¬
tages offered and that before a
great while, the facilities will have
to be increased to meet its de
.
The people of Eastman should
„n nil 1 ii together for the good of
our public scho jK is , a „ n d make ‘ them
and ,

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Mr. M ink M«zo Dangerously Hurt
While Coupling Cars.
On Saturday morning last Mr.
Wink Mozo, an employee of the
Eastman Lumber Co., was danger¬
ously wounded whilecoupling cars
on the tram road, about a quarter
of a mile from the mill. A few
cars had been left on the track at
this place, and Mr. Mozo accom¬
panied the engine to bring the
cars back to the mill, and was
coupling the cars to the engine
when th<> accident occurred. He
had made tin* sign for the engine
to move back, and was walking
behind the engine, with his hand
oil the coupling pin, intending to
c* uple the engine to the cars when
they came together. When the
clash came, however, the pin fail¬
ed to stick at the proper place,
and as the engine dashed against
the car Mr. Mozo’s right hip was
caught between the bumpers and
terribly mangled, He was at
once earned to his home and Dr.
Hermann was sent for in haste.
lb 1 soon arrived and administered
all possible relief to the wounded
man.
It was at first thought that Mr.
Mozo could not recover, but he
has gradually improved and his
condition is at present favorable
to his recovery, the wound inllict
ed is a most' dangerous one and
his right leg is perfectly numb.
Mr. Mozo is about Ml years of
age, just approaching manhood,
and his many friehds deeply re¬
gret the serious accident which
has befallen him. We earnestly,
trust that he will soon be up again
and that he will sutler no serious
consequences from his unfort u
uate mishap.
Mr. Mozo’s condition was not so
favorable yesterday afternoon,and
fears are now entertained for his
recovery. A telephone message
•Tom the mill this morning an¬
j nounces that he is no better.
