1900 miners are out on strike. They
declare they viii remain OUT a year.
If necessary or until the autotia,ic
lule they claim predominates here Is
broken. Hints are cast that un ess
their demands are granted. state
tie-up of mines will result.
And it all came about when, mill.
tary, county and city officials refuse |
permission to trade unionists in
Springfield to hold parade Sunday.
1t was claimed by authorities dispers.

that the meeting tended to excite riot
and disorder Labor leaders repudi.
ated this and insisted they were law
abiding, peace loving citizens, who
had the interest Of Springfields in
dustrial life and welfare in consider
alton. Nevertheless they were forced
to dispense. They then attempted to
hold a meeting in a park nearby. A
Gordon OF soldiers surrounded the
grounds and again the meeting was
broken up.
Indignation among labor unionists
ran high and threats were made to
call out on strike every union man in
the city. In response to this the
miners voted a resolution unanimous
~ to strike and remain out until
their rights as American citizens in
Springfield can be guaranteed.
Following on the heels of this came
$50 union ice men, who made the
same demands Reports came filter.
ing in that other tradesmen intended
taking the same action, and it is
feared unless a settlement is reached
soon, the threats of the unionists will
become reality.

go to press that the number who did
not answer the call were included in
the 16S certified to the district board
which leaves 46 to be chosen from

it that way before the other part Of.
this paper was put to press. We un-
derstood that those who did not an.
swer the call and who would automat-
ically be certified to the district board
were not included in the 1853.
Chairman Derrick also informs us
that of the 16S 119 are colored and
49 white and that the apparent dis
crepancy in the two races is account
ed for in the fact that larger pro-
portion Of the whites had already vol

DISTRICT BOARD TO PASS
on ALL EXEMPTION CLAIMS

The district exemption board held
a meeting in Greenwood last Wednes-
day. The board will meet again We'd
nesday. The board passed a resolu-
ton in accordance with ruling of the
war department that all cases that
had been discharged by the LOYAL
board be appealed to the district
board. In order to simplify the work
the district board had a series Of
questions for the applicants to sign
under oath and forward to the board
along with their exemption claims.
These are being sent to the applicants
by the local boards and ii the appll-
cant does not fill out and sign it It
will be taken by the district board as
evidence that the applicant does not
intend to press his claims for ex-
emption.

W. CALVIN AULL FAMILY
HGLD A REUNION

We regret shat we could not get to
the family reunion o7 the children Of
William Calvin Aull which Was held
at Prosperity on the fl; st Tuesday in
this month. We did not know OF it
until the day before and we had an en-
gagement for that day. The members
of the family have told us times with
out number that the reunion would be
on the first Tuesday in August and
that no invitation would be given to as
but we would always be expected.
Nearly every member of the several
families was present. There are now
something over a hundred descedants.
There were three boys and three girls
of Mr.. and Mrs. ". Calvin Aull John
NJ. Aull, who lived in Saluda county
and who had ten children and all OF
them still live over there. Geo. B.
Aull who lives at Pomaria. Mrs. j.
M. Werts who lives at Prosperity.
Mrs. Lizzie Dominick who. lives at
Prosperity. Adam L.. Aull who lives
at Pomaria and Mrs. Fannie Cromer
who lives at Newberry. Mr.. J. N.
Aull and Mrs Lizzie Dominick died
some years ago. The others are hv-
ing.
1t was a happy occasion to have the
children and the grand children and
great grandchildren assemble and
talk over the scenes of other days and
about what they are doing now. And
we wish we could have been with
them, and then it goes without saying
that a good old time Dutch dinner was
served We will try not to forget
the date next time if we should be ttv-

Death and Burial OF mIs' Do - hoAA
Mrs. Elizabeth Burton Hair, widow
of the late Mr.. Jack S. Hair, formerly
OF Newberry died at Winston-Saiem'

Mrs. Hair recalls old times in New
berry city and county in the better
days that have passed. She was the
daughter of the late Mr.. Henry Bur-
ton, who was one of the best known
citizens Newberry county has ever
had, and a leading and prominent
man of his day. Mrs Hair had been
living for a good many years in Bal
timore after she left Newberry, but
for the past year or two had made her
home in Winston-Salem, where she
had been in bad health. Her death
