Total Enrollment Nearing the 1,400
Mark.-More White Than Colored
Pupils in Attendance -Fine
Record Made by Pnpill,
With this week the attendance at the
Amerions public schools reaches high
water mark, and is greater thau at any
time since the system was established
twenty years ago. And this proves
very conclusively the fact, often as
serted, that the population of Ameri-
ous is greater now than ever before,
not oven excepting the “boom” days
of 1889 and 1890,
Just now there are enrolled in the
public schools 1,350 pupils, COO whites
aud 730 colored.
At the close of the session for the hol-
RETURN TO DEMOCRATIC FOLD
AN INVITATION IS EXTENDED
POPULISTS
t.j build to Savannah under any exist
mg charter or any charter that may
hereafter be granted, to parallel any
railroad for twenty miles beyond the
city limits, within the ten-mile limita
tion as now provided.
This amendment is understood to be
in the interest of the Georgia A Ala
bama, which now runs only to Mol-
■lrim, bnt which intends to complete its
line to Savannah to its proposed new
terminal.
A surveying corps is already at work
upon Hutchinson Island, opposite Sa
vannah, the site of the proposed termi
nal system, and tho Savannah Morning
News says that it is expected to have
a large force of laborers at work on the
island within a month. All that will
be waited for is the grant from tho city.
It is the hope of those interested in
the project thst there will be no unnec
essary delay in this, and they are in
clined to look for none.
The terminal bonds have all been
thewhito schools was 595, of which
perhaps 335 wore enrolled st Furlow
school anil the remaining ones at the
East Amcricus primary school. This
was the largest enrollment up to that
time, but tho iigures this year are con
siderably in excess and the number of
white pupils alone is COO evon.
In the first grade at Furlow school
this term are ninety-five six-year-old
tots, who are at books for the first
time—all now pupils.
As fnrthnr evidence of an increased
attendance, tho board of education has
just placed an order for sixty addition
al desks, though when this school was
refurnished in the summer a supply of
desks, deemed sufficient for all imme
diate requirements, was purchased.
However, it has already been fouud
necessary to increase tho desk supply
ou account of the unexpected increase
in attendance.
Supt. Mathis is very much gratified
at the very large enrollment, and tho
taken by the parties interested in the fine progress being made by pupils in
enterprise, and the money is at hand
to carry ou tho plans. As the work is
to be pushed as quickly as possible it
is probable that the number oi men
employed will run far up into tho
hundreds.
THE COMING OF THE SOLDIERS
Continues the Absorbing Topic About
the City.
“When are the soldiers coming to
Amcricus?” is the stereotyped query
oue hears upon every sido just now.
ilut it shows tho deep interest felt by
people generally in this movement,
which is sure to rrdouud to the im
mense advantage of Americns, and the
hope is generally expressed that the
march of the three regiments in this
direction will not be long delayed.
Only occasionally is a kicker is to be
found, but this would he true under
any and all circumstances. Our peo
ple generally recognize the beuefits
that will tie derived from having a big
encampment here, aud the vast ma
jority of them are pleased with tile
prospect. It i* expected that the camp
mil be well established and ready for
the troops by November 1st, and the
march of tho army of 59,000 bluecoats
to Georgia will begin about that time.

PICKED UP A QUEER QUARTER.
A Coin Goes Through the Mints With
out Being Stamped.
Cashier Charles Council, of the
Planters Bank, has a curiosity iu the
shape of a silver quarter which is uot
a quarter. Yesterday he opened a sack
of new coins received direct from the
treasury at Washington, aud in collat
ing the monoy found a 'A3 cent piece
that had missed the stamp at the mint
outirely. The edges had been raised
for the milling process, but the coin
bore no' lettering of any kind and was
perfectly smooth withal. It is not

To Come Back to the Old Party-Pop
ulist Organ Favors Such Step,
While Judge Hines Ties a
String tor Proposition.
Atlanta, Ga., Oet, 12 —Politicians
had a live topic of discussicti today iu
the attitude of tho Augnstu Tribune,
the only populist daily in tte country.
Takiug for its one an editorial in an
Atlanta paper, tue Tribuna takes up
the suggestion that the populists go
back into the democratic fold and come
as close to giving such idvioe as
could be. )
The Tribune says of Gover|pr Atkin
son’s invitation to the populists to
come hack into the democrttic party
that it is an invitation honestly extend
ed and joined iu by every respectable
democratic newspaper. TheTnbuue's
editorial is lengthy and is Idistinctly
favorable to the acceptance of the gov
ernor’s invitation, but populst leaders
in Atlanta do not seem to Igreo with
the Tribune.
The most liberal one of tie lot, per
haps, is Judge James K. Hines, who,
as the former nominee for governor
received the highest vote ever given a
populist in Georgia.
Judge Hines says: “In the next
state election I am willing to let the
democrats and populists rud separate
tickets in a white primary If the
democratic ticket gets tho must votes
in such a primary, let the lopulists
retire, and the democrata hav t an open
field. If the populists carry t io day in
such a primary, let the demi crats re
tire from the field, and not olpose the
populist nominees. I am willii g to ex
tend this method to congrest men and
other officials."

FIRST FLORIDA IN AMIRICUS.
Soldier Boys Pass Through the City
en Route Home.
The First Florida regiment passed
through Americus IMondav morning
en route from Camp Wheeler, near
Huntsville, Ala., to Tal'uhnssee, Fla.
The soldier boys came over the Cen

three special trains.
The troops were a light hearted and
happy set, which feeling was heighten

Only a short stay was made in Amer

out for Tallahassee by way of Albany

The Florida troops will be dfemiesed
