SCH<H>rBOARD"MEETS. Provision Made For Relieving Over-Crowd ed Condition of Washington Street School. The city school board met on Monday with a full attendance of members. - Superintendent Edmunds reported that the enrollment of pupils in sever al'Of the lower grades in the Washing ton Street School is so much greater than usual that all of them cannot be accommodated in the present school building and it is necessary to t^ke steps immediately to provide ium^ room. The board discussed * the situation and took counsel as to ways and means. It was decided to divide the assembly hall into two class rooms, which wiT. furnish quarters for the present. It was also decided to employ anoth er teacher and Miss Mary Brunson was elected. The salary of Miss Kate DeLormo was increased to $40 a month. The salary of W. T. .Andrews, prin cipal of the Lincoln ? *^ 1 was in creased to S000 a year. . M. J. Fredrick, of Ora ?geburg, was elected to succeed S. J. McDonald as a teacher in the Lincoln School. Supt. Edmunds reported that he had not opened the Factory School o v.-ing to the absence of Mrs. Cram-, the teacher, and the board decided not to take any action as to this school until next week.

The last payment was made to the Treasurer of the Citizens' Building and Loan Association by stockholders and the affairs of the association was wound up yesterday afternoon at the last regular monthly meeting of the board of directors. Those who had borrow ed on their shares, on payment of the last installment Monday, received their bonds and mortgages and had them marked satisfied ; those who had not borrowed will receive today from the board of directors $150 in cash for each share, there being sufficient money in the hands of the association to take up all outstanding shares on this basis?that agreed upon when the association was organized. The asso ciation has been running 105% months and the non-borrowers have therefore ! paid in $105.75 per share for which they receive $150. While the profit is not a large rate of interest, is fair con sidering that the stock payments were made at the rate of $1 per share a month. The borrowers, howeveT, profited most from the association, as they have from all other building and loan associations that have been es tablished in Sumter during the past 20 years, for they have been enabled to pay for homes or make profitable in vestments with money obtained from the association at a reasonable rate of interest which they have repaid in small monthly payments, ? Sumter is a great building and loan town, and although the Equitable with 1100 shares is only two years old, an other association will be organized at once, more than 600 shares having been subscribed for without a canvass having been made.
