Colored Training School
lcon.Inusd from Front passl

PATCH to enumerate the advan-
tages of this school. 1t would be
of untold value to the peach In
dustry of Richmond county could
it be located in the county. When
the peach crop is ready for har-
yesting, the need is imperative
for many hands RIGHT THEN.
With a force of some 300 or more
negro youths, at hand, the labor
problem OF harvesting would be
solved, and thousands of dollars
saved to the peach growers,
Unquestionably the establish
ment of this school in a small
way is but the forerunner of its
expansion into a mammoth insti-
tuition of hundreds. The hayward
colored youth must be cared for
and trained and developed, in
stead of allowed to run wild and
go to the changing. The State
owes them this chance, and it is
going to give it them.
With such a large institution
in the county, thousands of dol
lars would be spent locally, and
the business of our town increas-
ed.
Oar county has an opportunity
in its grasp; will our leaders and
business men seize it? Think
seriously of this, and let's devise
ways and means of making such
an offer to the Trustees that will
land the School for Richmond
county. We would urge our
business men to get together on
this matter and at once.

WANT CHEAPER COAL
Miners Union Advocates SlaShing of Operators Profits To Secure This Concession.

New York, March 4.--Cheaper an thracite coal for the public, to be made possible by slashing the profits of the mine owner rather than by re- ducing the aborers' wages is advo- cated by the United Mine Workers of America, in a statement issued here today.
 Mine owners freely admit that the cost of coal to the consumer is too high," declares the statement. The remedy they suggest, as prelimln- ary to the opening of new negotiations for working agreement with the miners, is reduction in the cost ot digging the coal--the miners wage which is placed by the operators at S3.92 ton"
 The mine workers indicate that lower labor costs will represent a 'bare living wage,' whereas they m sist upon "a saving wage commen- surate with the hazard of the ln- duStry."
