TIT. OLIVE
A Condensed Chr0niC1ing of the
Events that Transpire III
That Town and
Section.

Vance," Hon. c. B.. Aycock to
talk to you on the political situ~
alton of the day. Come and hear
MIN. Officers will also be regu-.
larry elected for the club.
The town of Mt. Olive is again
in ashes. Twice inside Of four
months have some of our citizans
stood by and watched the earn
ings of q life time disappear with
all the swiftness with which the
forked tongues Of furious fame
could devour them. Monday
morning about 2 o'clock, while
peace and quiet reigned supreme
throughout the domains of cur
little town, the red light OF arson
! CLEANED in the skies and brought
lour citiz9ns h~urriedly forth from
! their slumberipg couches. Ev-
erynne saw at a glance that the
terrible scenes which we Witness
ed on the night ofJune 9Th. when
one whole block Of the business
| portion Of the town was swept
away, must soon be enacted in
all their tragic consequences.
The fire was first discovered in
the grocery store of Mr.. b. B,
Jackson. On the north from this
store was the postoMce, which
| was soon in flames. The post
Office was on the corner a2d the
fire did not go farther to the
north, but southwark the store
of Nh. f. j. Lambert was next,
and then came a barber shop and
the livery stable Of Mr. B. ".
Switzerland. and last was the
Office of DR.. W. G. Steele. In the
rear of all che buildings was the
large livery stable of Mr.. r. J..
Southerland, which was destroys
ed. All the buildings burned.
with the exception Of two bes
longad to Mr.. r. J. Sutherland.
On these he had $17O0 insurance.
Mr.. B. W. Switzerland had $500
insurance on his stables and MI.
B. B. jackson had $1,000 insur-
ance on his stock of groceries.
All the rest carried no insurance.
THE MT OLIVE FIRE.
The people of our sister town Of
Mt. Olive have our sympathy in
the loss they have again sustains
ed by fire. The loss will not fall
as heavily as ia the former fire,
as there was more insurance on
the property. Still the property
burned IN this last fire was only
partially Insured. In a short
time, however, the fire will be
almost forgotten. Brick buildings
will take the place Of the frame
buildings that were burned.
Great is Mt, Olive and her PEG,
pile. The town has been behind
until recently in educational mat
tiers. but last summer the citizens
determined to secure a frst-class
man to put at the head Of the
Nit. Olive High school. The "a
suit was that Prof. j. Davis took
charge of the school ia August.
At that time the ARGUS told our
Mt. Olive friends that they had
secured the right man. Now they
have a fine school. We have talk
ed with a number of our Mt.
Olive people and they are greatly
pleased with Prof. Davis. Mt.
Olive High School will work
wonders for the town. Nc other
investment in a community pays
as well as a good school. I'D.

Charles Mortimer Swift, state organ
iGer for the Modern Woodmen of Amer
ica, has been in the city for the past ten
days organizing a lodge Of that order,
and we understand that some twenty or
more members have been enrolled. Mr..
Swift, when a little boy Of about - sum
mers, officiated as "devi" in the writer's
printing office, and was then Il bright
little fellow possessed of all the necessary
qualities for a printers imp, but his par
ents moving from Eau Claire, Wis, to
another place, took little Charley. or
Mort, as he is now famiarIy called,
from under our care, and his life has
since drifted into other channels. Mr..
Swift would have made II brilliant news
paper man had circumstances permitted
his continuance at the trade, but as it is.
we believe he is engaged in a good work
for his fellow-men, and will leave 4
mark behind him that will ever endear
him in the memories Of the craft in
whose interests he is now laboring.

the old road past the ranches Of Jess
Hill, &. l.. Hardaway, G. NJ. Foss, Mrs.

where the road crosses that creek, and
continues on northward. Mr.. Palmer
made the survey nearly to Mr.. Free

obliged to abandon it until the weather
settled. He expects to complete the

Ii Is explained in advices from " ash
ington that the "Open Door" referred to
in the terms of peace, and which has
caused no little discussion during the
last few days, means that there is no in
tention on the part of the president to
preserve a monopoly OF trade in Philip
pine islands for the United States. 1t
means that custom duties will be inn
tries alike that the tariff will be no
higher than Is necessary 10 produce q
sufficient revenue TO support the govern
mont and pay for such public works as
are essential to tie welfare and prosper
ity of the people The president, how
ever, can control this only SO long as the
islands remain under military govern
ment, which will probably be year or
more, perhaps two ytars, for it is not
likely that congress will provide form
of government for the colonies until the
next session. Then the president s
power ends. He retains only the right
of recommendation. He believes, how
ever, that the industrial and commercial
conditions Of the Philippines and of
Cuba and Porto Rico as well, demand
low duties, foreign capital, the encour-
agement Of a large trade and the intro.
duction Of labor.saving machinery and
OF improved processes. Neither the
Philippines or the West India islands
compete with us except in sugar, and we
are protected against that competition
by the present tariff There is, there.
fore, no industry in any of the new col
onies, which, in the presidents opinion,
needs immediate protection, and the
door may remain wide open indefinitely
without injury 10 the interests Of the
islands.

AS was anticipated, Spain accepted
the terms of peace Monday, which
this government presented as an
ultimatum. Spain naturally failed tc
yield to the inevitable without osten.
tatious hesitation and vehement protest
as supreme necessity to save the Span
ish government from revolution. The
peace protocol settled all matter relating
20 Cuba, Porto Rico and the few small
islands in the West Indies which Spain
yet possessed. Now that this one Dues
ton is out of the way, there is nothing
TO prevent bringing the negotiations t.
a close within fortnight.
The treaty will be ratified by a two.
thirds vote of the senate some time in
January. IL will also be ratified by the
Spanish cortes The people Of both
countries are anxious for the conclusion
of peace
