HIGH PRICES
FOR DIAMONDS
REPORTED BY IMPORTERS, WHILE
PROFITS OF MINES ARE VAST.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Diamond
importers who have returned from
Europe within a few days agree in
saying that they have been Obliged to
pay higher prices for diamonds than
ever before, and that all American
buyers are eagerly taking all the
choice stones they can get. The out
put of South African diamonds has
been increasing in quantity as well as
in price, according to the New York
dealers. Meantime the South African
diamond trust has declared 33h per
cent. profit on its apparently mex
haustible blue clay beds. One of the
independent companies. it is stated, is
paying 400 per cent. profit this year
and in the last three years has re-
turned s2,OoO.OOO in dividends on s4OO,-

WHITE CARRIER
APPOINTED

SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, April 30.-An
order has been received by the post
master here from the Postofice De-
partment authorizing the appointment
of white mail carrier to take the
place of George Banks. the negro car
rier who sent in his resignation last
week.
Since Banks received the appoint
ment about two weeks ago as carrier
on Route No. 5, the people along the
route took down their mail boxes and
would receive no mail through the
negro. AT the time of Banks resig-
nation there was only four boxes on
the route and the deliveries amounted
to four or five pieces of mail daily.
1t was thought that the route would
be abolished on account of lack of
patronage, and an order was received
disseminating the route, but as this
order has been rescinded, the mail
will be carried by white carrier.

GREAT WASTE
OF EYESIGHT
Many Persons Who Are Blind Should
Not Be.

The secretary of the New York AS
ISOLATION for the Blind, according to
the Boston Herald, reports that there
are $4,000 blind people in the United
States, and then makes the astonish-
ing statement that ''two-fifths of the
blind in our country need not have
been blind" This is worth verifying.
If that can be done an educational
campaign should be begun the country
over TO put an end to such needless
waste and suffering. OF course some
cases of blindness are due to accident
and to other causes that could not be
avoided. But every conceivable pre-
ventive which the education of parents
as well as of children can provide,
should be the subject OF legislative
action.
