Mis- FLORENCE william Arnold.


morning, January 80, 1916, at 3
o'clock, after a protracted illness,
Miss Florence William Arnold,
aged Ga years, 5 months and 5
days.
Just as the early morning light
was coming on, the spirit of this
loved and noble woman passed
beyond earth and it's cares to
that 'home not made with hands
eternal in the skies"
Florence w. Arnold was a Lex
ingtonian by birth, and was born
in this city August 25, 1851. She
was of old-time Southern par
entage and at all times had
that gracious, typical manner,
devoid of all affectation, and ever
enjoyed the love and esteem of
an unusually large friendship.
Modest and refined in manner,
inborn dignity characterized her,
and the fragrance of her life will
ever be embalmed in the hearts
of those who knew and loved her
best.
For sometime Miss Florence
had been in poor health, and
though she had every attention
that skilled physicians and low
ed ones could give, yet she was
brave and ready to answer the
summons.
All her life she had been an
active, working member of the
Episcopal Church, and the good
she accomplished can only be
measured in eternity. Two weeks
ago, calling a sister to her bed
side, she said: 81 am not afraid
to pass through the shadowy
gate; no, ] feel as if l were going
home" feeling the reality Of the
world across the border wa S
something absolutely secure and
sure Of inheritance.
Her character was so grand, so
elevated, her intelligence of so
rare an order, and the imparting
Of knowledge so perfect, that it
was a recognized fact that she
had no superior as an educator.
For forty years she taught in
the public schools of Lexington,
and the granite foundation, so
to speak, of our unsurpassed
public schools, is of her making
and building and will ever stand
forth as a fitting memorial to her
tireless energy, progressiveness
and common sense, relative to
every educational interest.
She made of her pupils friends
and many of these when grown
and gone out into the movements
Fof life, came to an appreciation
of her interest in them so real
that letters untold have come to
her from "old boys and girls"
expressing thanks for what she
had done for their uplift while
under her care.
Years ago our school board
spoke their appreciation of her
Iunselfish work and influence, and
made it permanent in giving her
MAJ m e-Arnold-to what is
known to US as the Third Ward
School.
In 1911, after an acceptable
educational service, first as as
sistant in the First Ward School,
then to the principalship of the
Third Ward School until the e.
rection of the present Hig h
School, where she was both as
sistant and principal, feeling the
need of rest she retired, and in
appreciation OF her school work
the Board Of Education present
ed her the following testimonial

To Whom it may Concern:
It is with pleasure that we rec.

Some Interesting Old Papers.
The Lexington Historical So
ciety is in receipt of a bundle of
local papers printed in Lexington
between the years 1860 and
1868, the gift of Mr.. Frank Bow
man. Many Of the papers are of
far more than ordinary interest
and value, especially because the
society's files are incomI lete be-
tween 1860 and 1866. The gen
eral public ought to make a

original sources of local history
to the society for preservation.

Farmers To Boycott White
Cross Plant.
Plan to Withhold Shipments Of
Milk to Company.

Stirred up over the receivership OF the
White Cross Milk Company, about lOo
Frederick county farmers held a meeting
last week and decided to take legal steps
to look after their interests and at the
same time virtually boycott the plant,
by Withholding further shipments OF
milk. This was the statement made by
a prominent farmer to representative
of The News Monday morning.
This farmer stated that several years
ago the farmers lost considerable money
when the White Cross Company, under
the then management, went into the
hands of receivers. "After re-organiza-
tion," he said "the company agreed to
pay the farmers weekly COR their product
shipped to the White Cross. This went
on smoothly for a time, when company
began to pay one week in arrears. This
lasted for some time and then each ship
per received circular letter from the
company asking permission to pay twice
each month, giving as reason for such
change, reduction in office expenses. The
checks being made out from the first to
the fifteenth and from the fifteenth to
the first and one week after these dates
the farmer was paid for his product. The
company was thus in arrears three weeks
and then they issued checks on April u
for the first half of said month.
About So, 500 of checks were issued
to the farmers, about $l,4OO of which
! were honored. From the fifteenth to
the twenty sixth of the month the com
pany is indebted to the farmers for about
81, 900, making total amount of about
SIS, 600 which they have coming to them
On April &c the White Cross Company
went in the hands of receivers.
"They are now asking the farmers to
continue the shipment of milk on
promise to pay once week, as they did
after the last reorganization. Many OF
the farmers have employed attorneys to
investigate the matter for them and to
look after their interests. Again, the
farmers have the recourse of objection
to the receivers appointed, and last, but
not least, they will refuse to ship milk to
the plant. News.

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1915.
May 1st Marked by Strikes
100000 March in New York.

New York, May 1.-The greatest
strike of laboring men in the history
of the United States was inaugurated
this morning, when approximately
2, 100000 union workmen through
out the country quit work for higher
wages, better working conditions and
recognition of their union, or were
locked out by their employers.
May day parades were also general
ly:held in the various cities OF the
United States. In New York city
labor leaders made it the greatest par
ade on record. 1t is estimated that
100000 workers marched in the par
ade up Fifth avenue.
While these demonstrations were
being made it was estimated by union
labor delegates that more than H.
workers involved in strikes thro' :
out the city in various trades and at
least $4,000 more would be idle with
in a day or two unless their demands
were conceded.
The workers who are out include
the following: Needle trades, 6O,ooO
marine engineers and other water
front workers, 5000; carpenters,
$4,000: metal trades workers, includ-
ing iron workers, bronze workers and
architectural iron construction work
ers, Al 500; painters, 10000; mineral
water manufactures employees, POO
and cement workers, 800.
The strike of marine engineers pre-
cipitated the most serious tie-up OF
harbor shipping that has menacad
the city in years. When the 1000
engineers refused to man the 100 tugs
along side the river, shipping men
admitted they faced grave situation
The entire munitions trade was tied
up, and ii was predicted that the
trans Atlantic service would be hand
icapped as liners could not get tugs to
take them to their docks.
Later in the day l, 900 warehouse
men employed by the New York Dock
Company, in Brooklyn, quit work.
There are $4,000 workers out in
Pittsburg, including 10000 workers
at the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company's plant, q
600 at the Westinghouse Machine
Company, 5,0O0at the Pittsburg Me-
ter Company and the Union Switch
and Signal Company and 3,lOO trolley
employees. 1t is feared this strike
will spread to machine shops through
out the Middle West.
Boston has combination marine
engineers, longshoremen and ware
housemen's strike to contend with.
Estimates of the number either strik-
ing or thown out of work approx
mate 200, 900 men and women.
