PARKERSBURG, ". Va, March 10.
There is to be difficulty at the out
set when the work of constructing the
new steel plant is begun. Arrange
ments are being made to have the
work of construction begin in a few
days, but there will be trouble with the
workmen. The contract provides that
the men employed on the work shall
be union men. Bricklayers are want
ed first to put up one hundred founda-
ton pillars four feet square and nine
feet tall. There are few union brisk
layers here, and it looks, therefore, as
though there would be trouble at
once.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, March 10.
III the Kansas State penitentiary
coal mine at Lansing, twenty-four
prisoners who went down into the
mine on Monday morning have muffin
led, and are holding fifteen guards as
hostages. They refuse to let the
guards come to the surface until War
den Tomlinson promises to give them
better food. They threaten to kill the
guards if their demands are not COM
piled with. The mines are worked
by the worst class of convicts, and
among these who have mutinied are
twenty life prisoners.
Warden Tomlinson has refused to
grant the demands. 9
Many complaints have been made by
the prisoners because of the grade of
food furnished them, and to this dis
satisfaction has been added all man
ner of mistreatment. No outbreak was
attempted, however, until the men who
had entered the mine refused to re-
turn unless their demands were grant
ed. The prisoners have killed the
mules used in the mines and are living
on this meat.
Serious trouble is apprehended if it
is found necessary to send deputies
into the colliery.
The miners have theatened to wreck
the mines, but the threat is laughed at
by Warden Tomlinson, who says they
would not attempt this as such action
would endanger their lives. He says
he will starYe- them out.
A communication was received from
n of the guards to-day stating that
they were hungry and tired but SO far
as he could learn all were aline.
The first outbreak in the mine took
place shortly after the noon meal yes
terday, and was started by the %convicts
in division No. s. Of the nineteen men
in this division sixteen seized the
guard and overpowered him and an
nonunced that they had decided to
strike. They told the guard that they
had decided to mine two instead of
three cars of coal as a days work for
the future, and that they proposed to
have better food. This guard was left
in charge of two of the convicts in the
mutiny while the others marched to
the adjoining division and called on
the convicts there to join the revolt.
The conyicts were soon marching
through the mine from one division to
another, yelling and swinging their
lamps and picks. Other desperate con-
victs entered into the spirit while short
term men generally offered no opposi-
ton to the mutineers and quietly join
ed them. So far as can be learned no
opposition of any kind was offered the
convicts. The officers being unarmed
were helpless and the life of any one
would have been forfeited had he tried
even to check the mad spirit of the con
victs.

Election Will Be Restricted to Their

FEW NAMES ARE BEING ADDED
To Registration List But Interest viii
Increase as Date Of Primary Draws
Near Qualification of Voters in the
Primary.

Interest in the race for clerk of supe-
rior court of Sumter is already on, and
this will greatly increase as the date OF
the primary election, yet to be deter
mined by the Sumter county execu.
tive committee, draws nearer.
It is the Only election of the year,
but it will be lively one.
Nearly $500 registered voters par.
ticipated in the last primary election
for county officers, and this number
may be increased in the registration
for this election.
Tax Collector Dunn stated YESTERDAY
that several voters, who were not reg.
istered for the last election, had come
forward and qualified since the forth.
coming election for clerk of court had
been ordered.
In order to qualify, voter mus
have paid taxes for 1900.
Last years tax rate was levied on
February LIST. Therefore, anyone com
ing to this county since that date will
not be required to pay 1900 taxes il
order to register now.
Only those who resided in Sumter
prior to Feb. LIST, 1900, and have no
paid last years tax, will have to do so
in order to register.
And white primary, exclusively,
will determine the election.
Chairman Pilsbury said yesterday
that he would suggest to the executive
committee the adoption of the same
plans and rules obtaining in the las
democratic primary, and which proved
80 satisfactory.
In the meanwhile the candidates arr

FARMERS STILL INAQUANDARY
Cannot-Get Sufficient Labor to Oper-
ate Flows.

The farmers of this section are still
in a quandary regarding the labor
situation here, and from the present
outlook hundreds of acres that might
be cultivated will lie idle. The Times
Recorder was told yesterday that on
one plantation, where seventeen plows
were ready to be operated, there were
only two negro laborers, while on
another plantation of seven pIows
there was but one negro, and the own
er could get no more help. This con-
ditlon prevails very generally, as far
mers find it just impossible to secure
labor at any price.
