NORMAL SCHOOL
FOR MAYSV|LlE IS
NOW ASSURED
Mason County Board Of Education
Joins City Board In Financing
Special Normal Course for
Teachers In Maysville.

Maysville Is now assured of Nor
NAL School at the Maysvllle High
School during the coming summer If
there are enough teachers In the city
and county who will attend the free
school to make 1t worth the effort. The
Mason County Board Of Education in
Its first regular meeting this morning
appropriated the sum Of $500 toward
the financing Of the school which with
the 5000 appropriated by the City
Board Of Education makes the fnincial
success of the school assured.
This school will be conducted in the
MGysville High School and Messrs. G..
e. Everett, w. ]. Caplinger and H. s.
C.lkins will be the instructors for a
period of five weeks. Tuition will be
free to Maysville and Mason county
teachers but teachers coming from
other counties will be expected to pay
nominal tuition.
A large delegation of Orangeburg
citizens appeared before the Board OF
Education today petitioning the board
to establish a High School at Orange
burg. These men proposed the organ
ization Of a Development company
which will sell stock for enough
money to erect an up-to-date building
with the understanding that the coun-
ty board will rent the building at a
stipulated rate until tile county thus
pays for it. This question was dis
cussed at length and was taken under
advisement. The board will probably
answer the Orangeburg folks by their
May meeting.
The school levy for the approaching
year was fixed at 35 cents on the one
hundred dollars Of taxable property,
the same figure at which it was placed
for this year.

LLOYD GEORGE IS
THREATENED AS
CRISIS IS FACED
Labor Factions Of England United In
Effort To Get Control Of
the Government.

London, April 4. - Great Britain
faced today the greatest crisis since
the call for the first 100000 In 1914.
With 100000 coal miners on strike
and industry already suffering from
shortage of fuel, weekend meeting Of
the miners allies showed trend to-
ward sympathetic strikes.
Labor's gesture was looked upon as
threat to force general election
and, If possible, seize control of the
government.
The cabinet met today before the
emergency session Of Parliament
opened. The governments plan for
combating the threatened attack on
industries to be drafted.
The stubbornncss Of the battle was
indicated by resolutions adopted by
railway and transport workers. The
men decided to support the miners "by
any action deemed necessary"
Miners leaders, admitting the seri-
BUSINESS of sabotage, asserted 1t was
necessary and approved action of
miners in withdrawing safety workers
and flooding the pits.
Suffering already has resulted from
the strike. The men who walked out
added 100000 to 100000 already
unemployed.
st .tisticians estimated 100000
persons are affected by the strike.
If railway and transport workers
are added to the list the total will be
iLcreased 100000.
