CHICAGO, Dec. 3-Further disruption
of national industry because of the fuel
shortage brought about by the strike of
bituminous coal miners was in prospect
today. Regional directors of railroads
had authority to annul passenger
trains where the public would be least
Inconvenience and many additional
manufacturing plants throughout the
country faced shutdowns either through
exhaustion of their coal supplies or the
strict rationing decreed by the federal
fuel administrator.
State executives, who under appeals
from their constituents for aid, have
sought ways and means for replenishing
the fuel supply, virtually were without
encouragement as regarded increased
production. Only in isolated instances
were there reports of change of front
on the part of the miners Generally the
workers adhered to their attitude of re-
manning away from the mines until bet
ter terms than the IA per cent wage in
crease decreed by the government was
| forthcoming
Optimistic reports We're received from
operators of the district embracing
southeastern kentucky, Tennessee, and
Virginia that the, backbone of the strike
there had been broken Miners at one
fsmall mine in Missouri returned to work
with the statement that they as Ameri-
cans could not see their neighbors suffer

being worked by volunteers under protec

hang of the work and their forces were
increased.

to urge men of his state to volunteer t.

BIG LAND DEAL.
The Is, ,OOO-Acre Leak-Everett Tract
Of Land in Beaver Dam to be Bought
BY a New Development Company.

A deal that may mean big
things for Richmond county is
about to be perfected whereby
the huge Leak-Everett land in
Beaver Dam township changes
hands.
The Richmond County Land
& Development Company has
just been chartered by the State,
with authorized capital of S40O,-
900. The incorporation papers
places the number of shares at
1000, par value $100, and the
Company can do business when
$4,000 is paid in. The incor-
porators are three Charlotte
men: J. R. Clements, H. S. Bry-
an and ]. R. Cherry, the two
former having one share each,
and Cherry 1913 shares.
T. T. Cole is the ground"
man for the Company, and a
moving spirit in promoting the
deal. The Company has secured
an option from the Leak-Everett
interests on this land, estimated
from $1,000 to $4,000 acres, and
a force began surveying it this
week; as soon as the surveys are
completed, the Company expects
to close the option.
Mr.. Cole has rented the vacant
store-room in the Hotel building,
formerly occupied by McLaurin's
drug store, and used more
recently by L. G. Fox as a stor-
age-room, and it will be fitted
up into a handsome set of offices
Tor the company.
The Company expects to de-
velop this immense body of land,
and the turning loose of so much
acreage, divided into small farms,
will doubtless mean much to the
county.
The land was bought by Capt.
w. |. Everett and 7. c. Leak
about 30 years ago, the first part
being the Aycock land; this was
gradually added to, at that time
the land being very cheap, until
now the holdings amount to be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 acres.

SCHOOL ENROLMENT
SOC in White School, 142 in Colored.
School Crowded. Extra Teacher to
Report for Monday.

The enrolment in the city
schools has been steadily
growing uutil it now numbers
500 in the white school and 142
in the colored school, a total of
CAB.
There are 256 boys and 253
girls in the white school. The
High School enrolment is ia, of
whom 54 are boys and go are
girls. The large proportion of
boys is as unusual as it is graft
fying.
The 11th grade, or graduating
class, has II boys and 9 girls.
There is is considerable con-
gestion in the first and second
grades which demands immediate
relief. Another teacher has been
secured to begin work Sept. 22.
On account of lack of room this
will make a two session program
necessary for the second grade
as has been the rule for the past
two years in the first grade.
The school is being rapidly
organized along permanent lines
and the pupils are settling down
to work in earnest. Everything
gives promise of being the best
year in the history of the school.
The compulsory attendance
law is being generally obeyed in
the white school with only a few
exceptions which have been re-
ported promptly to the Attend
ance Officer. There are a good
many in the colored school which
have been reported as the law
requires and which will receive
due attention.

NEGOTIATIONS
1900 Inoculated Against Typhoid Fever
in Richmond County Free.

For the past five weeks a rep
resentative of the State Board
of Health has been in the county
giving the vaccine incubation
against typhoid fever. He COM
pleted the series of treatments
last Friday.
He covered the county pretty
well, but only 1890 took advan-
tage of this free incubation, of
which number barely so were
colored people. In Stanly coun-
ty over 1900 took the inocula-
tion.
Of the 1900, about 100 failed
to come back for the second in
oculation, and another 100 failed
to return for the third. About a
dozen tainted, and one young
lady actually tainted when in
sight of the building where the
incubation was being admins
tered; the very idea caused her
undoing.
The county bore the expense
of 121ac per person, and the
State furnished free the serum.
It is> pretty we'll established
that when a person takes all
three inoculations, he is made
immune against typhoid for
three years. One or even two
inoculations do no good what
ever; all three must be taken.
