ing on First Day of
Fall Term.
When the :loek struck eight times
Monday morning It marked another
imDortant epoch In the liven of more
than 15.000 children In the city of At-
i, n ta. It meant the ending of vacation
,nd the beginning of another acholastic
5< The attendance which marked the
owning Monday morning was a sur-
-rise to those who had anticipated a
much larger attendance than usual, and
fV en Superintendent Slaton almost
mood aghast at the monumental task
of instilling useful Ideas Into that great
host of youthful minds that confronted
able corps of teachers. The at
tendance In 1907 was all that could
have been expected, and all the schools
of the oltv were taxed to their seating
rapacitv. but In 1908 the records will
h» broken, and even with the new
schools that have been opened during
the summer vacation there will be no
Burplus seats.
jtanv families have moved to Atlanta
during the summer, and these children,
added to those who have Just reached
the school age. together with those
tthose names have already been upon
the rolls, constitute one of the largest
bodies of school children In the public
schools of any city In the Southern
^The real work of the schools will not'
berin until Tuesday morning, when the
sxaet number of pupils In attendance
noon all the schools will he known. Ex
aminations for those children who were
required to stand them were held last
Friday and Saturday and all day Mon
day the teacher* have been hnay grad-
ina papers. Monday afternoon their
reports will be submitted to Superin
tendent Slaton and Assistant Superin
tendent Landrum. The children will
then be assigned to their respective
trades, a list of the books they need
sill be furnished them and Tuesday
morning school will he on In earnest
Officials Are Busy.
At the Boys’ High School Monday
morning there was a acene comparable
only to the activities of a swarm of
bee's In honeysuckle time. Many patrons
of the schools have either from neces-
alty or negligence, delayed securing
transfer cards, entrance cards and the
transition of other numerous details
necessary to the opening of school. and
a week's work had to be done In a few
hours Monday In order to accommodate
the long line of pupils and patrons that
formed In front of the superintendent's
desk at.the High School.
"We are so busy that we scarcely
have time to think, much less to talk."
said Assistant Superintendent Landrum
Monday morning. "See this long line
of people here? Well, they are all watt
ing to make arrangement* for the open
ing of school and achoot Is already
opened. This pencil hasn't rested a
minute today and I doubt If It will.
"We can't tell exactly what the at
tendance will be until we get the re
ports from the teachers this afternoon.
We expect them In at 3 o’clock and
then the work of organising the .various
paries will begin. It has been reported
that the rest work would not begin tin.
Ill Wednesday morning, but that Is a
mistake. Lessons will, be assigned on
Tuesday and onlv one day will be lost
In making the preliminary arrange
ments for the opening."

PARAGRAPHERS IN SESSION;
FIRST MEETING’S DOINGS
In opening the flret (ley's session of
the Pa nigra pliers' Union. President
Henry 8ydnor Harrison attempted to
make a speech, but was interrupted so
often by ribald remarks from The
Charleston News and Courier man (ad.
milted to a seat on the floor pending a
report from the ^committee named te
investigate the credentials of that pa-
P* r), that Sergeant-at-Arnus George
Bailey was called upon to eject the
obstreperous member.
Bailey nonchalantly drew a two-foot
shooting iron from his boot leg and in
exactly three seconds stood alone hi
the assembly hall. In half an hour the
puragraphers were reassured and re
turned to work. There was no further
trouble, except a near-stampede when
Bailey reached in ills hip pocket for his
bandana handkerchief.
“Gentlemen of the greatest and most
fearfully constructed association of hu
manity ever assembled under one roof/
begun President Harrison. At this
point the Lake Charles man arose and
said he didn’t ride a side-door sleeper
all the way to Atlanta to listen to such
slush, and wanted to know if the speak
er meant any reflection on the Louis
iana bunch.
“1 want to state at the beginning that
this vast agglomeration of brain storms
was thought out by me. Georgia Bailey
and Frank Adams/* said Harrison. “O'
course, most of the credit belongs t
me. and I want to claim it, because ni
credit Isn’t all It should be and I need
this little hit. In the main, the mem
bership has been faithful. Only one
case of absolute outlawry' has harassed
our ranks, but'a man who has to work
In Charleston may be excused for many
things. However, since The News and
Courier acquired the Fat Hen and The
Hong Kong Gander, it has sh
disposition to remain faithful to the
principles of our grand organization,
“What you got to say about Old Bill
Mkilllt. of Henrico county, and them
peroxides of Raucus Richmond?”
shouted somebody on a hack scat.
President Harrison blushed, stam
mered, and then collapsed. “Discov
ered!” he was heard to groan brokenly
Kevin, of The Washington Herald
saved a painful situation by arising
and singing very loudly, if not very
musically. “The Star Spangled Shad
of the Potomac.”
Frank Adams wept silently an
rowfully during the effort of Mr.
Several rtiembers fainted under the
stress of feeling. The rules forbid any
member leaving the hall while a ses
sion is on.
President Harrison had recovered by
this time, and asked Secretary Welser.
of *Xbe Allentown Gall, to read
charges against various members. They
were as follows:
The Austin Statesman—Charged with
boosting Texas pumpkin pie—a product
used for paving purposes—as a food for
human beings.
The Houston Post—Charged with In
venting those frightful myths, dimpled
and red-headed widows; a Texas mayor
ho gets only a dollar a year for his
services, and unsupported statements
to the effect tljat Texas bass feed on
rabbits. There were so many charges
against this paper that the Mst was
suspended, and one entire day set aside
for considering this case.
The Allentown Call, charged with
deceiving the public by claiming that
Allentown is as good a town as Atlanta
(the most serious charge of the day).
The Rome Tribune-Herald—McCart
ney charged with writing pert things
about women and telljng his wife that
Rowell did It. Also charged with na
ture-faking. In that he printed a story
of the mayor of Thomasvyie advertis
ing for the owner of an umbrella.
the Washington Post—Charges
against John Ottinger were almost as
numerous as those against Bailey. One
charge was that he took hla meals at
The Post restaurant, but ha denied It
bitterly.
The Washington Herald—Paragraph-
er Nevln charged with frequenting
Miillaney’s because ho could get the
biggest glass of suds In Washington
for a “jit/* Also with buying fish at
market and having himself pho
tographed. posing as a real dittiple
of Isaak Walton. %
The charleston News and Courier —
Charged with persistently and fla
grantly violating the rules of the un
ion.
1 The Toledo Blade—Charged with at
tempting to deceive the public by pan
egyrics* on the Malodorous Maumee;
also with trying to make people be
lieve Toledo Is a bearable piaefe to re
side In during the summer.
The Anderson Mall—Charged with
sasslng the lady paragraphera of The
Elberton Star and The Brunswick
Journal. (Withdrawn, aa Carpenter
said he’d been punished sufficiently.)
The Atlanta Georgian—Charged with
printing pure fiction regarding the
plentlfulness and cheapness of fried
chicken In Georgia. (The Newark Star
man was eapeclally savage In his re
marks about this. Said he ordered
fried chicken at a hotel and they
brought him something that looked
like a half-grown humming bird and
charged him $1.50 for it.) Also charged
with reckless conduct In attempting to
matrimonialize Rowell, Shope and
Glessner.
The Dalton Citizen—Charged with
efforts to make its readers believe
Dalton is as large as Rome. Shope also
charged with rejecting one leap year
proposal.
Fort Worth Record—Charged with
having a chronic grouch.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch
Every paragrapher present charged
Harrison with responsibility for bring
ing together such an organization
without first warning the police au
thorities and having a regiment of
military on duty—the real kind, not the
“make believes."
The NeW York Mall—Adams charg
ed with the heinous crime of running a
serial poem (alleged) in hla columns to
take up space so he could extend his
vacation.
Bowdre Phlnlzy. of The Augusta
Herald—Charged with talking about
“Pauline" too much and spending too
much time in North Augusta.
There were charges innumerable
against scores of others, hut Secretary
Welser threatened to quit unless they
gave him some rest and a couple of
gallons of near-beer. He got the lat
ter. and Bailey almost started another
stampede by n statement that he be
lieved he had discovered the capitol
tiger In its lair.
An effort was made' to list tabooed
subjects, hut the paragraphera demon
strated such selfishness In wanting to
put the pet hohh.v of every other par-
agrapher on the blink, that a com
mittee consisting of Bailey. Adams.
Nevln and Carpenter was named to
compile a list of blacklisted subjects—
and keep It to themselves.
At this moment there was a dis
turbance at the door, and it was learn
ed that The Florida Tinies-Union man
was at the entrance with a couple of
grips of Jacksonville's chief article of
export, and it required desperate tac
tics to prevent the Georgia and Ala
bama wings from doing the visitor
bodily harm. Promises of an Interview
later pacified them.
