"The indications tire tl at the enrollment of pupils in the graded schools of Union will thin year exceed by far the enrollment of last year," said Superintendent Jeffries to a press representative one day this week. "In -fact, including the night schools I have reason to believe that the enrollment will probably reach over 2,000. As it now is, Union holds the rccord In South. Carolina for the number of children who attend school in proportion to the population, l>ast year the enrollment was 1,883 from a population which numbers alnnit 10. 000, which includes Monarch and A<;t"a. but doesn't count in Buffalo. "Accord ing to the national superintendent's di rectory received tfWs week, I tee thnt there are but thrfce other places in South Carolina that hayp-nrTargcr en rollment than Uttfon, namely, Charles ton, 8,161, withiUMUt 60,000 population; Columbia 2,8331 with about 35,000 in habitants, and fin Spartanburg, which I believe, claims" some 15,000 people, the enrollment ip 2,298. The figures show that Union Imd more enrolled than had GreonVHfe, 103 mrtre than Ander son. ana 343 more' than Sumter, the other towns of the State falling fax be low these figures. I have not examined the directory very carefully yet. 'hut an examination showed last year that, the record held by Union for the proportion of her population of those who wrra seoking an education through her com mon schools was not excelled by any other town in the United States. AboGt our night schools, 1 find that the at tendance on them is even bettor than during the day, and now is something more than 200. The work Is very en couraging, as all the pupils seem to he anxtonjr arid" work bard that ttrej inny derive air the benefit possible from this opportunity." ? 8evere Storm at 'Union.

The greatest damage was done the spin ning. room on the fourth floor of Union *fnlll No. 2, the southern end of which was blown in for over 100 feet and a big strip of the roof tora off.
