WHAT 1T INDICATES.

The number of freight cars at work
exceeds by $4,000 the number that was
in use one month ago. Idle freight
cars that had been rusting on switches
are dragged out, oiled up and put at
work to carry the increasing tide of
traffic.
There are still some idle cars, but
none of the great crops ar. as yet
fully ready to be moved. The crops
CT corn, cotton, wheat and oats are
in the aggregate and as one whole un-
precedented in volume, and when all
four begin to knock at the doors of
the railroads the sidings will contain
nc idle cars.
Railroad experts do not hesitate to
predict a freight car shortage this
winter, due chiefly to the fact that
for two years the railroads have had
idle cars on their sidings and have
not for that reason increased their
equipment. Orders for new 1ocomo-
tiyes and freight cars have recently
been placed, but comparatively few OF
these will be ready for use this win
ter. And another fact should be taken
into consideration-some of the loco
motives and some of the cars thai
have been idle are not aud cannot
readily be put in condition for USE
again. They have rusted until they
| must be rebuilt in order to become
useful. Not a few of them viii! be
/ canf fO tho coran
The recall of freight cars from sid
ings is an excellent precursor of trade
activity. When the railroads are agar
full of moving goods, then indeed We
may know that the people are placins
clers and that the industries are
striving to fill those orders. This il
what makes good times. Idle cars
on the other hand, mean dullness an
inactivity.

MIR. ALEX SASSER LOSES
HAND IN AN ACCIDENT
Was Attending to Machinery at His
Sawmill at Time of Accident.

His hundreds of friends IN Mount
Olive and elsewhere will be greatly
grieved to learn of the accident that
happened to Mr.. Alex Sasser, one of
this sections most prosperous farm
ers and merchants, Wednesday short
ly before noon by which he lost his
left hand. Mr.. Sasser was attending
to the machinery at his sawmill and
in some manner his left hand was
caught in the circular saw. The hand
was cut entirely off just above the
wrist. Mr.. Sasser came to Mount Oh
i've, assisted by friends, and it was
found necessary to amputate the
mangled part of the hand Just below
the wrist, the operation being per-
formed by DR.. J. w. Kornegay. All
last reports Mr.. Sasser was resting
comfortably.
Mr.. Sasser is one of our most pro-
gressive citizens, conducting a farm
and mercantile business near Mount
| Olive, and in his terrible misfortune
he has the sympathy of our people.

Pleasures of Trout Fishing.


Catching trout is not the only thing
that makes fishing mountain stream
worth while. The early morning ride
to the place where you are to COM
mence your days sport is In itself
pleasant to degree wholly missed by
those who take their rides later in the
day. During the early hours of the
day the air is fresh and invigorating.
Every leaf and spear Of grass by the
roadside sparkles with dew, and the
forest is pungent with pleasant and
health giving odors that are dispelled
as the sun rises above the treetops and
dries the moisture on leaf and twig.
AS you drive quietly along you may
have the good fortune to see deer
browsing in a roadside clearing. He
stands watching you for moment or
two, then turns quickly ana with
graceful leaps disappears among the
trees. An old fox steps out into the
road and trots boldly along ahead of
you for some distance, but when he
discovers that you are gaining on him
he turns for an instant, shows his
teeth with a snarl and then sinks
away into the bushes. Farther along
a partridge with her brood of chicks
has also ventured out into the road,
and when she, too, discovers that you
are drawing uncomfortably near there
is great to do. With outspread
wings and uttering the plaintive cry
made by mother partridge when she
believes her young to be in danger,
she hastily collects the members of
her family and leads and drives them
back into the security Of the woods
