MT. O. .. seay Declines.

On account of continued poor
health, shall have to withdraw from
the race for superintendent of educa-
ton.
The reason for the delay of my
withdrawal was the hope that each
day would bring about an improve
ment in my condition, but to my sin
cere regret it has not come. If in
any part of this affair 1 shall seem to
any of my fellow citizens to have
erred want them all to know that |
was acting, as thought, in such a
manner as would best conserve the
interest of all the citizenship of my
native county, Lexington.
Hoping that the all-wise providence
has in store shall rebound to the en-
tire constituency of Lexington county,
I shall ever remain,
Your most humble fellow-citizen,
0. D. SEAY.

"Wednesday, July 25. 1906.

The politician hunting a job and
The politician after he has secured the
lob are as much unlike as daylight
and darkness. Pledges and platforms
seem made to get in on; and to break
them in violating Of compact with
the people does not seem to worry the
ordinary individual who by hook or
crook gets in.
The people remember Supt. Martins
campaign pledges, so often repeated
that under no circumstances would ne
allow more than Jone-third OF the text
books to be changed at any one time.
It was this solemn pledge to the peo-
ple that defeated McMahan. Our
people cannot understand why the
State board Yof education repudlated
this pledge and made such changes
in our text books at one setting, thus
according to supt. Martins own state
ment in the campaign with McMahan'
placing burden of $3.50, 900 Jon the
people of the State.
The expense of purchasing new
books is no small item. The books
cost more, in many instances, than
the tuition is worth, and hence the
Injustice in loading up the people with
these too frequent changes, often with
books no better than those in use, and
indeed some they supplant are super
ior to the new adoption.

DISASTER IN FRANCE
French Miners Exploit Cat.

Advance of Ten Per Cent Of.

Rejected.

Paris, April 4.-After the Courriers
catastrophe, while in every corner of
the civilized world general sympthy
was shown by subscriptions. as usual
leaders of the workmen have tried to
exploit the general emotion by or
ganizing a strike intended to force the
companies to increase the wages 1s
per cent.
The companies offered a 10 per cent
increase but the miners refused this,
and more than 10000 have gone on
strike. The new minister Of the inter-
ior, M. C1emenceau, went in person
among the strikers and made a speech,
telling them that they have a. right to
go on strike, but it is is also their duty
to respect the property of the COM
panies, and also the right to work Of
such as do not desire to strike. II this
was done he promised not to make any
display Of troops, and he kept his
promise The infantry and cavalry
sent to keep order have remained in
visible, being shut in the buildings at
the mines.
In Pas de Calais two strike commit
tees dispute the right to direct the
strike, the committee organized by
Deputy Basly and a new, one, more
revolutionary, which has for it's chief
man named Broutchoux. The two
factions have come into conflict and
the gendarmes had to intervene to
maintain order. Broutchoux was ar
rested. The result has been that the
Socialists have begun campaign
against NJ. Clemenceau, in which per-

MILL GIRLS STRIKE
BECOMESCARNlvAL

EDINBURGH, April 4.-The mill
girls of Dundee are on strike-nearly
fifteen thousand Of them-and they are
making a carnival Of their agitation
for higher pay.
They parade the streets with ban
ners, don fantastic attire and perform
strange antics in the public places.
Two thousand Of them interrupted
business at the Royal Exchange, and
entertained the business men with all
sorts of stunts.
Their more practical actions take
the form Of besieging the mill owners
offices, which are guarded by police,
and picketing the entrances to mills
where work is going on.

SEAMEN TAKE STAND
IN BEHALF OF Mates
Lake Carriers Urged to Re-
cognize New Union Of
Lake Pilot.
It Is Feared That Owners Will
Wage Strenuous War
Against Plan.

Detroit, March 29.-Negotiation be-
tween the executive committee Of the
Lake Carriers association and the dele
gates Of the Seamen's union were brOk-
en- of abruptly.
The conference opened with the an
uoncement that Secretary William
Penje Of the Seamen's union that his
organization first organized the mates
and that the seamen claimed jurisdic-
ton over them. He further stated that
the mates must be recognized as union
men before any agreement would be
entered into for the season.
The Lake Carriers promptly stated
that no business could be done on that
basis and the conference ended for
the time being. The seamen repaired
to the Franklin house to discuss the
matter and will meet the vessel own
ers again when they will either re-
iterate their stand for the mates or
recede from it. After the seamen de-
parted the Lake Carriers held a ses-
sion among themselves.
The Lake Seamen's union demand
recognition for the mates that are af-
f1liated with their organization. The
statement was made by William Penje
Of Chicago, secretary Of the Seamen's
union who was in the city yesterday.
We organized the mates, said Mr..
Pen1e, in the fall of 1904 and we have
two lodges Of the Licensed Pilots as
sociation. Cleveland and Buffalo have
lodges said Mr.. Penje and we have
| members at most Of the big lake ports.
Secretary Penje said that he could not
tnn IT,, IN
Licensed Pilots association.
Il cannot say what demands will be
made by our delegates at the confer
| ence," said the secretary of the Sea-
! mems union. "They will not be made
known until they are presented to the
members Of the executive committee
| Of the Lake Carriers association. We
expect to make a. contract with the
| Lake Carriers for the coming season as
we have for a number of years and !
| don't think there will be any trouble
| Mr.. Penje did not state what stand the
seamen would take if the lake carriers
! refused to recognize the mates.
The mates are claimed by the Inter-
| national Longshoremen Marine and

t-said that the question of Jurisdiction
! would be settled by the executive COM
mittee Of the American Federation OF
Labor which is in session at Washing
ton. President Keefe OF the Long
shoremens association is member OF
the executive committee and is at
tending the Washington meeting
The members of the Lake Carriers
association have not changed their pos
ition in regrad to a union Of mates
| They are opposed to the mates belong
ing to any labor organization and it is
not likely that they will recognize any
union that was organized by the sea-
men any more than they will treat
with any organization that is affiliated
with the Longshoremen's association
