MUCH ACCOMPLISHED
BY "LAY-BY" SCHOOLS

Complete reports from the "Lay.
by Schools in Chesterfield County
last August, show that much good
was accomplished in this comparative
ly new field of endeavor. While the
figures aer not as large as was hoped
for, it is an excellent start and will
undoubtedly increase in the future
until illiteracy becomes thing of the
past.
There is much food for thought in
the comparison of the figures from
the white and colored schools. Whe-
cher the fact that nearly five times as
many colored illiterates took advan-
tage of the opportunity to gain the
rudiments of education offered by
these schools was due to there being
greater numbers of illiterates among
members of that race, or to greater
ambition on the part Of the negro
than the white illiterate is not clear.
The colored illiterate is much cas-
ier to persuade to enter school than
the white. This is due to the greater
embarrassment Of adult white per-
son who cannot read or write.
Following are the figures compiled
by Mrs. F. B. Saunders, who had
charge of the work in Chesterfield
County:

the news of walkouts all over this

that every telegrapher was out and

Charlotte wired that every man on

late yesterday afternoon by Interna-

More than 200 strike breakers had
arrived late yesterday, from New York
and other cities. About half of these,
union leaders decIsred, will refuse to
go to work. They are quartered by
the Western Union at the Piedmont
and the Ansley hotels.
Strike Breakers Arrive.
The strike, breakers special" from
New York, which came in over the
Southern railway last evening, was
met and stopped at ChambIee by the
Western Union officials, with auto
mobiles to drive them into the city.
On account of the large crowds who
were gathered both at Brookwood
Station and the Terminal Station
awaitin the arrival of the strike
breakers, 1t was found advisable to
remove them from the train before
reaching Atlanta and spirit them into
the city secretly. No violence has
been threatened, however, and only
small committees had been sent by
the union to meet and inform them
that a strike was on here.
Officials OF both telegraph and
telephone companies expressed pleas
ure that the lines had been turned
back to private ownership, so that the
former owners might be free to make
a fight against the union.
