SATISFACTION IS EXPRESSED
Block Coal District Rejoicing Over Set
Element Of Differences.

Brazil, Ind, May 7.-Great satisfac-
ton is expressed in the block coal
field because the threatened strike has
been averted. The miners fought
stubbornly since April 1, at which
time the old scale expired. for two
points-extra pay for low coal in ma
chine mines, end for an eight-hour
day for the engineers, or extra pay for
the extra hours that branch of the
mine workers was compelled to be on
duty. The operators positively refused
to grant either demand, citing the
clause in the national agreement re-
Gently signed, that there should be no
changes in the local agreements that
would increase the cost of the produc-
ton of coal. The miners insisted that
these demands did not come under this
agreement. Many joint conferences
were held without avail, and it looked
as If a strike were certain. National
Vice President Lewis came here and
counseled against a strike. The min
ers yielded every point, the operators
making but one concession, an extra
10 cents an hour on the pay of the
f1remen.

Columbia, January 21.-The
general assembly convened yester-
day at noon after a recess taken
since last Saturday. The day was
very uneventful in both houses,
except for message from Governor
Hayward in regard to lynching and
an address by Senator Latimer.
Senator Latimer's address was
made at O'Clock, in response to
an invitation sent him last week.
1t was presentation of arguments
IN support of his bill now pending

aid in the building Of good roads.
GOVERNOR DENoUNcEs THE MOB.
Governor Heyward's special
message, which, it will be seen,
was inspired by the recent lynch
ing in Dorchester county, was as
follows:

, the General Assembly:

dealt with particularly. The neces-
sity of respect being paid to the law
by civilized communities was urged
in this connection. You, the law
makers, had not been assembled
here week when another evidence
of this lawless spirit is given in the
1ynching at Reevesville.

of flawlessness is unchecked. Any

cure in taking the life of a fellow
being On almost any pretext. This
deplorable condition ought to be
remedied. To compel greater re-
spect, the proper respect, for the
majesty of the law I recommend
the enactment of special legisla-
tion in reference to lynching, that
the great responsibility Of officials
directly charged with enforcing the
law be brought home to them, and
that more efectual measures be
! taken for the apprehension of per-
sons who take the law in their own
hands. i
In lieu of some legislation, sug-
gest that the governor be provided
with an adequate fund for the pur-
pose Of suppressing lynching-a
fund that may be used in Offering
suitable rewards or in obtaining
evidence against lynchers in such
manner as may be deemed best.
I sincerely regret the necessity
for this and am not desirious of ad-
ditional responsibilities, but I will
not shirk any duty that the general
assembly may see fit to impose for
the welfare and good name of South
Carolina.
D. c. Hayward,
Governor.
The memorial from the State

Mr.. Moseley supported his reso,
luton in a short talk. The ex.
pense of new building should
be taken into consideration, he said.
He for one didn't want Prosperity
to get in the fix of her sister city,
Newberry.
After the adoption of the resolu-
ton the meeting adjourned subject
to the call ot the chairman.
Chairman Wyche Immediately
called a meeting to be held in the
old school building next Tuesday
afternoon at ) o'clock. : In accord
ance with the resolution passed, be
has appointed the following COM

PROSPERITY FINANCES.
There seems to be no danger of
Prosperity getting "in;the fix of her
sister city, Newberry" by voting
bonds to erect a new school build
ing.
The present debt of the town is
ST. 900, part of debt of 1900 in
cured in the erection of the city
hall during the year 1902. A tax
of two and one-half mills was levied
to retire this debt and has already
paid 5000 of it and with the in
creased amount which will be de.
rived from it incident to the growth
of the town, the erection of a cot.
ton oil mill, stores, etc, ETC., the
remaining 81 ,ooo, the towns to-
tai debt-will be wiped out in less
than two years more.
Before the erection of the city
hall Prosperity had no debt and
her citizens paid no taxes except
the two mill school tax levied bv
the school district. The income
derived from fines, street duty, etc.,
vas sufficient to pay current ex-
penses. The total tax paid by her
citizens now, including the two
mill school tax, it will be seen is
only four and one-half mills. A
considerable sum is now derived
from the dispensary and if no ad-
ditional debts are incurred ia less
than two years Prosperity will again
be paying not cent of tax except
the school levy, or if the tax con-
tinues to be paid it will simply &C.
cumulate in the town treasury.
This is brief statement of Pros
perity's financial condition.
In this age ofeducational advance
ment it is rather remarkable that a
town practically without debt will
i tolerate such a school building as
is located in Prosperity.

URGENT NEED FOR A
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
NOW BEING DISCUSSED BY THE CITIZEN:
OF PROSPERITY.
Another Meeting This Afternoon to Heal
Committee Report-Statement ofProS-
perity's Financial Condition.
The citizens Of School District
No. "a, in which is comprised the
town of Prosperity, met in the
school building at Prosperity on
Tuesday afternoon to discuss the
matter of a new school building.
The attendance was very small.
After very little discussion the mat
ter was referred to a committee
which will report to an adjourned
meeting to be held in the school
building next Tuesday afternoon at
; o'clock.
The matter of a new school build
ing has been agitated in Prosperity
for several years past. A little
more than a year ago an election
was held on the question of voting
bonds to the amount Of $1,000 for
this purpose but the bond issue
failed by very narrow majority.
The old building in which the
meeting was held on Tuesday after
noon is sufficient argument for a
new building. 1t is an old wooden
structure in a dangerous locality,
being situated just against the
Columbia, Newberry and Latrens
railroad track. 1t has long since
served its use and is structure in
which neither pupils nor patrons
nor citizens of the town generally
can take any pride whatever.
The citizens OF the district are
practically agreed that new build
ing is needed. Some, however,
want the money raised in one way,
81 me want it raised in another,
while some think it will cost too
much to erect a new building;
taking the position that what was
good enough for the fathers is good
enough for the children and will be
good enough for generations yet
unborn. The result of the election
mentioned above showed that those
in favor of a bo2d issue lacked only
little Of being in majority.
The meeting of citizens on Tues
day afternoon, called to discuss the
matter, was called to order by DR..
c. T. Wyche, of the board of trus-
tees, who stated the object of the
meeting. DR.. Wyche was chosen
chairman and Mr.. B. B. Schumpert
secretary.
Dr.. Wvche briefly outlined the
three plans by which the money for
a new building could be raised: IS
by private subscription; 2nd, by
levying a 2-mill tax; sd, by bond
issue.
Personally, be favored the issue
of bonds because he thought it the
easiest and most equitable way. II
q bond issue were decided upon,
however, immediate action should
be taken because the legislature was
now in session and it would be ne
cessary to secure legislation in order
to an election. Prof. Counts, be
said, had secured from Architec,
