NO LOAFERS THERE.

Mt. Olive Advertiser
One of the factors that has been of vital
Importance TO the growth and prosperity
OF Mount Olive is the fact that it is the
home of men who work hard, earnestly
and intelligently.
Al this time there is not white man
or boy in town who does not either attend
school or labor at some useful occupation
and this statement is ais applicable con-
corning the past few years.
The fact that drones are an extinct
race in our town is matter that is par
ticulariy gratifying. Every male who
does not attend school, and who is old
enough to labor is a bread winner; al
ways self-sustaining and very often aid
ing in the maintenance of others. even
if not possessed of a family of his own.
Our town has no loafers that hang as
a dead weight upon the community; it is
the pre- dominance of the spirit of indus
try that has made Mt. Olive bright and
prosperous and the best town in the
State.
There may be other towns of 1000 pop
ulaton without a loafer but they are not
very well known. The reader will under
stand of course, that we are not allu6ing

Of the town-a few of whom consider

INVESTIGATION IMPERATIvELY
DEMANDED.

DEMANDED.
The wreck of the double header freight
train on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
near Monroe yesterday is the third Sc
rious wreck within a radius of forty
miles of Hamlet within the past few
weeks.
These frequent recurring wrecks, in
volving loss Of life. have caused great
anxiety and distress to the employees OF
the Seaboard Air Line in this section
and alarmed the travelling public The
and they must be prevented, for the safety
of the travelling public and the train
crews as we'll as fer the welfare and
the prosperity Of the Seafoard system.
The double header s:stam is one that
is not approved by many railroad MEN.
1t saves expenses in the train crew but
the employees do not feel that it is as
safe and as secure as to run a full crew
with one engine. The wreck yesterday will
cost many times more than the saving eff
fected in the wages of conductor, train
man and fiagman. 1t is cheaper (if there
were no higher consideration to pay
enough men good wages than to pay the
expense Of wrecks and damage suits.
These accidents cali for an immediate
and thorough Investigation. The tall
roads will, OF course, make II for them
selves, but the State owes the duty to
OF the lives of its citizeni. The Corpora
tion Commission, i: it has not already
done SO, should take steps this morning
to ascertain the cause of this and ether
wrecks in that section, publish the result
OF their investigation and require the
railroad to employ additional men if nee
essary or do whatever else may be need
ed to prevent a recurrence of these
wrecks. 1t has been suggested that the
number of section masters has been ,e-
In hxy fnn nj q inn AZ
Corporation Commission should act
promptly and protec. the lives 0: the peo-
pie who travel.
If it be true that the management of the
Seaboard has been consolidating sections
in order to save the wages of few sec
ton masters and hands, and has doubled
up train crews and given them too much
work in order to make small saving in
wages, the wreck of yesterday and pre-
vious wrecks ought to teach that it is
penny wise and pound foolish" policy
that will prove most costly.
The life of the engineer who was killed
in the double header wreck yesterday was
worth more than any increase in net
earnings obtained by a cut-to- blood policy
of economy or the floating Of any num-
bor Of gilf odpa cocllrifiac
The State rejoices in the prosperity of
its railroad systems, in large earnings and
in progress and extension, but human life
is dearer than cross ties, steel rails and
equipment. If the good mans life at
Monroe yesterday was due to failure to
provide every agency to guard against
accident, who will not say that it was
negligence of the highest order?
The life of one faithful man is worth
more than any amount of bonds and
stocks. and through the Corporation Com
mission the State must ascertain if it
was caused by negligence and if so adopt
stringent regulations to protect the lives
of the men who never fail in their duty
even in the face of certain death.

WE BUY MANY DIAMONDS.
Americans Laying in store of
Precious stones.
CFrora Tie Chicago Chronicle.

During the month Of March the Ameri-
can people bought more diamonds tlan IN
any other month in the history Of the
land That the month will not be an ex-
ceptonal one in the year is indicated by
the fact that the record for the first
quarter Of the year maintains similar
position among the statistics of importa-
tiOns. A pretty safe index of the prosper
ity of people is the state of trade in
precious stones. IN hard times we don't
lay in a stock of diamonds, and when the
buying Of precious stotes IS unprecedent-
ed in its value there can be little doubt
about how business IS.
Heretofore the heaviest year of impor-
tation of precious stones on record was
1888. Then came the Boer war, one of the
incidents of which was the siege OF Kim
berley, the mining and distributing centre
Of all rough diamonds, and so the figures
for 1900 show a great decrease.
But last year the trade not only gained
all II had lost, but in the face OF con-
stantly advancing prices leaped 3S.5 per
cent over the corresponding quarterly
record Of 1893 Last month there passed
through the port OF New YORK cut dla-
monds to the value Of 81. .4l6 HO.2O ana un-
cut 30 the value Of SSH. .768.30. Against this
place the record for March, 1893, sl,l9j,-
5y1 IS for cut precious stones, and 1913: 81
for uncut and the enormous gain can be
appreciated 1t is interesting 10 know
that in March. 1900. the figures were, for
cut 500 sos 30 and for uncut, $6O,6Jl. 80.
Comparison by quarters IS equally m
structive. For the first quarter of this
year cut precious stones were imported to
the value Of 81. $50. .504 .6S, and uncut, 81,
2lS 1893. IS, while in the first quarter of 1899
the figures stood. cut. S2,275. $3.50, and un-
