All Records Are Broken at the Opening of the Term on Monday. The Amerlcus schools opened yes terday for the fall season with the largest attendanse ever known opening day, exceeding nine hundred pupils. These filled up Furlow and Rees Park schools, with ample room at the-colored school. Supt. Miller says the attendance was even greater than expected. The enrollment of pupils In the white Bchools Is 652 already, while only 250 colored pupils have entered at McKay school yet. This rather small attendance at, McKay Hill school Is accounted for In the fact that many former pupils are now working In the country. These will enter the school later, as they do always ,and the total num ber there will exceed 700. At Furlow School the scene pres ented was highly Interesting. Six hundred and two school child' ren filled the old building to Its cap acity, and beyond, while 48 others, who are registered, did not attend yesterday. None were turned away, although Supt Miller doesn't know where he will put them. Many pupils still out of the city will return shortly and within month the enrollment of pupils In the white schools will reach eight hundred, and possibly more. Further additions to this building cannot well be made, and Amerlcus Is confronted with the absolute nec essity of providing 1 other and larger buildings In order to take care of the rap|dly Increasing number of pupils attending the schools. No lessonB were said yesterday, but today tho "young Ideas" will be taugh to shoot in the usual good old way. Drastic Dose of Decline Given King Cotton Puts Mon arch On His Feet.. Amerlcus cotton buyers went after, the fleecy staple agali% yesterday and l with more vim and vigor than at' any tlme-wlthin tho past week of declining prices. The end of the re cent slump seemed to have been reach- ed and they wanted the goods. Prices ruled nearly a half cent higher than' on the da}' before, when eleven cento was the sky parlor limit. Good cot-' ton readily brought 11% to 11% cents I In the Amerlcus market yesterday, and the demand kept the market very steady. Receipts at the warehouses this week have been very light, evi dencing the pul-poso of farmers not to market cotton at starvation prices, and this fact has aided materially In putting up values. The situation rests entirely with the farmers, and If they will simply refuse to toss their bales to. the rapacious sharks and blackleg gamblers at the latter'* prices they will gfet full value In due time. LADIES READY-TO - WEAR At Cotton Crop Estimate. But Mill the Market Moves Bottomward. Amerlcus cotton men saw little In yesterday's cotton situation point ing to an Immediate change for the better. Prices went lower, still, and the market had a bagged-at-the-knee appearance. At the opening at 9 'clock there was an advance of a half dozen points, but this gain was quickly lost In the shuffle of bears feet In the pit Miss Oyles, the lady statistician and crop gueaser, sent ont OKLAHOMA IN OCR COLUMN eddy and Taft Could Not Make New State \ Republi can.
