BOLIVAR cannot hope to
build up a successful public
school until a decent build
ing is erected in which to
teach that school. Our pres
ent public school building is
dilapidated, has no cOnven-
fences and is totally unfit for
the purpose for which it is
used-in fact it is a disgrace
to the town. Other towns of
far less wealth and popula-
ton have handsome public
school buildings, to which
they point with pride. Ev-
cry citizen who has the inter
est and welfare of the town
at heart should work for a
new school building. Don't
be content with bringing up
the rear always.

REPRESENTATIVES, of the
Confederate Veterans Assoc
citation of Tennessee recently
appeared before the sub-com-
mittee of the Committee on
Finance, Ways and Means
and asked for an increase in
the annual appropriations for
pensions of $4,000. The
law provides that ex-Confed-
crates who have lost one arm
or a leg, or who have sustain
edinjuries equivalent to this,
and who are INDECENT, can
draw pensions. There are
now 549 on the pension roll
and between 40 and 500 app
plicants who it is said should
be on the roll, but there is
no money to pay more pen
sions. The pathway of these
old soldiers should be made
as pleasant as possible while
they journey down the hill
of life. The draft on the
Treasury cannot last long, for
they are rapidly passing away.
We hope the legislature will
make the additional apprO-
priation asked for.

THE LAW ON STRIKES.
An Important Decision by New Jer-
zey's vice Chancellor.

An Important Decision by New Jer-
sey's Vice Chancellor.
Trenton, Dec l5.-An important de-
cison was rendered by Vice Chan
cellor Reed yesterday in the case Of
the Cumberland Glass Manufacturing
company, of Bridgeton. against the
Glass Blowers Association OF the Uni
ted States and Canada, Dennis A.
Hayes. president, and others. The
suit grew out OF the glass blowers
strike at Bridgeton last March, and
which has since been amicably settled.
The Cumberland Glass Manufacturing
company sought to enjoin the defend
ants from the part they were taking in
the strike.
The vice chancellor, in his opinion,
holds that a combination to strike or
to induce others to strike is made
lawful under New Jersey statute,
provided that the means used be those
of persuasion and not OF coercion, In
the case of the Bridgeton strike the
chancellor said that il was proved that
there was a large crowd in the street
and that permanent guards were main
tanned to keep men away from the
works. This the chancellor said was
coercion, and he grants an injunction
against those who formed part of the
crowds, but refused an Injunction
against Hayes, who did not advise any
violence The chancellor also refused
an injunction against the Glass Blow
ers' association, holding that the as
sociation had right to advise III
members to strike and to pay money t
those who were on strike,
