Proposed School District.

The school meeting called for the
Auditorium last week Thursday
night failed to materialize for the
reason that the speakers, who were
to have come by the steamer Ores
cent, found out when too late to take
the train, that the Crescent could
not arrive here until after nine
o'clock, too late for the meeting
which had been called for 1870. 1t
was therefore necessary to postpone
to a later day, which will be an
nounced in these columns when
fixed.
1t is a matter of special regret that
the meeting could not have been
held, as many came in from the
country and We're greatly disap-
pointed.
1t has been thought best now to
circulate petitions for sub-school
district, the same to be presented to
the county school board as soon as
possible, that the board may call an
election. The proposed district to be
petitioned for to embrace the whole
of election precinct No. l This can
be changed by the school board
should it afterwards be deemed ad-
visable.
The law requires that at least one
fourth of the qualified voters of the
precinct sign the petition before the
school board can act by calling an
election. At the election a majority
wins.
The News is pleased to state that
among the people of the town and
immediate vicinity there is practi-
cal unanimity of sentiment in favor
of a Central high and grammar school
for this election precinct to be locat-
ed in Crescent City.
w. G. Norton, who has been quot
ed as opposed to the removal to the
Auditorium, hasIbeen misunderstood
In conversation with the News Mr..
Norton stated that he was opposed
to the removal of the school as now
maintained, but that he was heart
and soul in sympathy and would do
all he could to secure a high and
graded school for the town; that
such a school would naturally have
to be housed in the Auditorium and
that he would not oppose it.
There are others. In fact there
are many who have reached the
point of indifference as to whittier
we have q school or not, unless 1t
can be something commensurate
with the Importance of the place and
surrounding country.
The whole place is alive with SEN
timent for a high and graded school.
There is no one thing attainable that
would so conduce to the growth and
prosperity of the place as such a
school, and all should be thankful
that on this proposition there is such
agreement.

ATLANTIC CITY
AUTO RACES

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. g
This is the first day of the automo-
bile race meeting under the auspices
of the Atlantic City Automobile club.
The number of entries is far greater
than ever before and excellent sport
is expected. There are seven racing
events and an exhibition race against
time on the program for today. The
first race will begin at o'clock this
afternoon. The most interesting
events of the afternoon will be the
attempts to break the one-mile rec
ord and the fifth race, which is really
more in the nature of a guessing con-
test. The event is open to all. Every
car is 10 carry driver and three
passengers. The driver who drives
nearest to the three minute-a-m mile
speed wins. Police officials will be
present to judge the speed, the state
speed limit being three minutes per
mile. This event promises to be
rather amusing and interesting. No
method of timing the speed of the
autos of any kind will be permitted
The races will be continued on Mon
day.

of the glass manufacturers in the
glass district have signed the Burns

readiness for the resumption of work

considered satisfactorily settled and
beginning with today over 10000 men
will be given employment in the
plants which have resumed work UNI
der the new scale. During the period
of inactivity many of the large manu-
facturers gave their plants thor
ough overhauling and made all neces-
sary repairs SO as to be able to take
up work with their furnaces, etc, in
good condition.

SCARCITY OF NEGRO LABOR

The scarcity of negro labor on
the farm, ard EXODUS of negroes
from rural districts, are conditions
that seriously confront farmers
not only Of Virginia but also of al
the other Southern States. The
problem of securing and retaining
goou hands is q serious one. Be-
cause of this condition of things,
the farmer must of necessity re-
duce the area cultivated By de
pending on the help of himself and
family he is able to raise better
crops at less expense, thereby re-
alizing larger returns. The time
has come when the farmer is COM
PEELED to live within himself more
than ever before, and his main de-
pendence is modern and labor
saving machinery. With these
modern appliances he is prepared
for intelligent and intensive Oper-
atoms.
The past few years have wit
messed the coming into Virginia Of
q very desirable GLASS of white
settlers from the West and North
west, who find here q charming
climate, pleasant social conditions
and opportunities undreamed of In
the rigorous climate from which
they fled. Thus it is noted, that
as the negro vacates and is at
tracted to the cities, these very de-
sirable settlers take his place,
And just what to do with the
idle negroes and idle whites is a
problem unsolved In our towns it is
difficult to procure the service of a
negro. Groups of them may stand
for hours on the street corner, with |
nothing to modest or make them
afraid. Just let some one approach |
them in search of hands, and i'm
mediately they have business else
where, or give you to understand
that they "don't have to work."
