endeavored to reduce the expenditures n
every possible way, and If you will compare
the Treasurers report which has just been
read, with that OF last year, you will find that
every item is less, except that OF 'Interest
paid" which has increased two hundred dol
lars ($200). While on the other side, owing to
many adverse circumstances, the receipts fell
OF in an appalling manner, being the smallest
amount received in great many years. the
result being that the Indebtedness of the
Society has been considerably increased.
Trusting that the foregoing statement, to-
gether with the report of the Treasurer will
enable you to understand the actual cOndi-
ton OF the Society's affairs. we respectfully
submit the same for your consideration.
This report was also received and order

luton:
Whereas. certain stockholders OF this Society
did execute their promlssory notes to said
in order to secure said persons the Society did
authorize and deliver to Henry C. Risdon.

so given, it is hereby ordered that the
Society execute and deliver to said Henry @.
Kisdon, Trustee, a chattel mortgage upon all
and Secretary execute the same in due form
of law and affix the corporate seal thereto.
Mr.. Lewis said he thought those who
gave notes to tide the society over its
troubles should have all the security pos
sible. and this additional mortgage W ould
be step IN that direction.
George M. Wells asked what the per.
sonal property consists of.
He was told there was land roller an
scraper, 1000 chairs and some benches
all insured for 81, 900.
Col. Sloan said there is already a second
mortgage for $1,000 given to those who
gave notes. He was perfectly willing
however, that these people should havt
all the protection that could be giveI
them.
! Mr.. w ellis wanted to know what would
be the result if the Society were sold GU

creditors who would come in pro rata will

HOW THEY MAY ASSEMBLE.
u is pretty generally understood that
an extra session of the Legislature will be
called to ratify the proceedings OF tho
Constitutional Committee. and submit the
same to a vote of the people. 1t is thought
that Governor Atkinson is opposed 10 such
session. but three-ffths of the members
of the Legislature can petition the pre-
siding officers Of the two houses for an
extra session. and if the petition is com
piled with. they can assemble on their
own accord.
The Mail is in no position TO state Gov
ornOr Atkinsons views upon the matter,
but we venture the assertion that the
Governor will not object to called ses-
SIGN unless he has just cause. Governor
Atkinson is Il fair-mnded. honorable up
right official and no predecessor IN the
Gubernatorial office has SHOWN himself as
far-seeing and conscientious as our pres
ent Governor.
His efforts have been in the right direc-
ton and no one can say aught against
any official action he has made
If Governor Atkinson is opposed to an
extra session of the Legislature. there is
some valid reason for it-Charleston

The difference between S10,S10 and
$4,000 is $3.50, the amount saved an
nuall by the establishment of a high
school. Then it is not true that the
burden of taxes would be increased by
the proposed high school, but on the
contrary it would increase the efficiency
of our educational system, afford better
opportunities to the youth of our city,
the children of the rich and the children
of the poor, and at the same time save
to the taxpayers of the district each
year the handsome sum Of $3.50.
A good, efficient high school is a
pressing necessity. If We can't have a
manual training school and a high
school at the same time, let us have
them one at time. Because we cant
get both. that is no reason for refusing
to have either. There is no good rea-
son for postponing the high school until
such time as we may be able to adopt
Industrial education. In order to de-
feat one enterprise, which is a neces-
sity, we should not suggest thousand
others which are impossible. In con-
sidering this question, let us lay aside
party prejudice and party bias and rise
TO the point where we shall consider
only the prosperity, progress and de-
velopment of all our people. Let the
high school be established and thus
crown with glory the EDUCATIONAL sys-
TEN of the Independent district of

educational qualification to the suffrage

the fear that the Commission may find

They wanted to destroy the fighting quail
