To His Excellency, NJ. B. Nc
Sweeney, Governor of South Caro-
lima:
We have the honor to submit

The net earnings for acc cunt
of the school fund for the fiscal
year, which have been placed to
its credit, have amounted to 1923,
699,57.
The net profits that have &C
crued to, and have been equally
divided between the counties and
town have been $443,19S rs. We
have paid from our assets into
, the school fund one semi.annual
| p1yment of $50,000.OO, and will,
thin two weeks, pay $5O,OOO.OO
more, looking to a reduction of
the school fund, as required by
act OF general assembly, approved
February 26, 1902. In addition to
that, we have paid the quarterly
earnings as they have accrued in
favor of the school fund for the
nine months since this act be.
come effective, which amounted

payments for the school fund for
the year amount to $l42,755,91.

STRIKE AND STARVATION.

The New York World gives local ac-
counts OF case Of death and another
OF restitution, as result Of the pro-
longed strike in the building trade, Per
sons responsible for such conditions
may not. technically, be murderers,
The law does not brand them as SUCH
but what about the conscience?
The case of death was that of a baby
boy. due according to neighbors, TO
starvation. The father said that owing
to the strikes he had been unable to get
work. He is plasterer's helper The
union to which he belonged was, he
said. a small one and unable to pay him
enough while the strike lasted 70 meet
the demands OF his family There were
two other children The night the
baby died. they had hardly anything to
eat and whimpered from hunger
throughout the night The mother was
sick. but was willing 10 so to work at
anything, IN order TO procure food for
her other children Her husband des-
plte his weak condition, had tramped
the streets day after day seeking work
in stores private houses and factories,
but people thought he was too weak
and would give him nothing to DO.
The other case Is almost as pathetic.
The story is about a poorly dressed wo-
man with baby IN her arms, who
sought shelter at police station. She
said
My husband is a pasterer and has
been out OF work on account Of the
strike" she explained. Tie got sick on
ton of Il and have been uamping
the streets for Two days looking for
work ! haven't had anything to eat
today.
The appearance OF the woman excited
the pity OF the policemen, and when the
hat was passed around It came back
nued with pennies for her a hot sup
rer was brought in and she was put On
ear and directed to the Woman's
Lodglnghouse
The question naturally arises whcth-
er such conditions are not criminal, at
time when the country enjoys pros
p,uty In ul measure But there r. no
oscapc as long as laborers and em-
ploycs know VI no Other means Of set

There IL no possible room for doubt
