CAUSE OF WRECK.
The fact that the Pullman on
train pot off the track on Sat-
4 urday just below the Lum
berton cotton , mills is further
4 .f.and decidedly significant proo
of the dangerous condition o
; the Seaboard track. Our inform
mation is that this acciden
; was due to a broken rail, which
would seem to prove that the
; vrail on the " track is not only
worn out but that there are
" not sufficient number of ties
under it. It should be borne
in mind that this happened on
r: a ' straight track and with
, train having a sched ule of a lit
tle less than twentytwo miles
; per hour. The pretense which
the officials of the Seaboard art
' making of patting the Hamlet
Wilmington divisionTiirgood
condition should not be longer
considered by the .corporation
:. f commission. These officials
could have and should , have
been indicted for criminal neg-
' hgence for allowing" it to be
operated -in such dangerous
condiion. If present conditions
are allowed to continue it is only
a question 01 time until some
serious accident will happen.
. It is stated to us that seldom
a day passes in which sorae'of
the trains are not flagged on
account of broken rails joints
or some other defect in the
track, and the "slow orders"
which are issued from time to
time are bo numerous that the
. conductors and engineers can
hardly remember them. -Coal
burning locomotives have tak
en the place of wood burners,
' and the schedule time of the
- pt"crers , has .nevertheless
. been increased more than a
hour between Hamlet and Wil-
, mingtbn, and even" with these
changes, passengers can :feel
safe ohy aftr their destina-
',' tion has been reached. . v
.The newspaper correspon
dents who . are so frequently
writing about the improvements
v which the Seaboard is making
betweei.Hamlet and Wilming
ton should come down and take
a look for .themselves and
lheirrepbrti might be different.
: We know that railroad mana
gers, and sometimes their at
torneys have a good deal to
6ay about government regula-
tions and control of railways
. and endeavor to make the peo
i pie ; believe that the railroads
are private propertv which the
, owners kindly'permit the pubi
lie to use when duly compen
sated ' : thereftor. 1 The people
generally have long since
' ceased to pay any attention to
. each rot, and in this section
not only that; but we think that
" both ( passengers and, shippers
wo uld v go a -i step f u rther; and
If those who are in charge
are Jso hopeiesgly blina ana
incompetent as"lheir' tnlinage-"
ment would seem to indicate
the corporation commission or
other proper authorities should
handle the road as the proper
ty of incompetents is usually
managed, and place a guardian
in charge.
Wo hope the Board of Com
missioners. "Aliddie. 01 tne
Road,' etc., will see that the
town is put in proper sanitary
condition. The Superintend
ent of Health has gotten out a
circular, which is published in
this issue of The Robesonian,
containing valuable 'informa
tion. It is important that the
suggestions contained therein
s aould t be. followed, but this
should not be the end. The
Board should see that the work
is done and properly done im
mediately.
, VVfi must apologize to our
readers for not furnishing a re
port of the , meetings of the
town Board of Audit and Fi
nance. We may be miptaken,
but it would seem to us that
this Board was Selected and
elected to perform a public
duty and that they owe it to
the people td get down to busi-
ness. it they do not intend to
do so, they should resign and
make room for their success

W. M. i Smith, a ' well known
base ball player on tho Trinity
College team,,, killed himself
Thursday at Durham by firing a
ball through his brain. He was
in his room alone at tho time and
no one heard the report.
It is supposed that he killed
himself about 11:80 o'clock, al
though the body was not found
until an hour later. Smith was
a son of Rev. Thomas W. Smith,
of Concord. . He was a graduate
of Trinity College, and took his
masters degree at the recent
commencement, and for three
weeks had been in the employ of
the American : Tobacco Com
pany. - '
It is supposed he was despond
ent and then be was nervous and
in 111 health, having visited ashy
sician that morning Thursday
morniagt 10 o'clock he went to
the manager of the factories and
said that he was' not satisfied
with the progress he was making
in learning the business, bat the
manager tried to cheer him and
told him to get i. some j medicine
and take a rest, until late in r the
afternoon and then talk about the
matter. This despondency is be
lieved to have caused the rash
act. ' ; : CiS-f..'
- Smith was 2 years of age, and
was popular- While in college
he was not only captain of ; the
base ball team for the last two
years, but was manager of the
Archive and South Atlantic
Quarterly, and honor man of his

The Object of Fre Masonry,
For The" Sobeeonian.
A-to- the-ongin -of -Masonry,
and the exact date when tbe'sys
tern was first brought into use,
Masonic writers are unable to de
termine.yet is is awellknown fact,
among the craft, that it extends
as far back as to the civilization
ofEtfypt ' . , , :
, Primarily the object was.mu
tual protection and an intercom
munication' of knowledge. '
During thepeaceful reign' of
"Most Excellent King Solomon"
Masonry flourished in an-unusual
degree. It was confined to
the operative art, the object be
ing a proper division of labor,
whereby each workman from
theyoungest&A. bearingbisbur
dens to the most skilled workman,
Grand Master H. A., who enter
ed the S. S. or . Holy of Holies,
and drew designs on the'Trestle
board" received a just remuner
ation for his services. By the
wisdom of King Solomon and the
strength of Hiram King of Tyre
these were so classed and ar
ranged that peace and tranquility
prevadedthe world atthat im
portant period. n
In the erection of that Superb
Model of Excellence' there was
not heard the sound of '. axe.
hammer or any tool of iron.,"
Prom this has been ' formed
and perfected the beautiful' sys
tern of speculative Masonry.
The object of which is not only to
inform the minds of its votaries
by instructing them in the
sciences and useful arts, but to
better their hearts by enforcing
the precepts of religion and mor
ality. -v '
The tenets of the profession
Brothery Love, Relief, Truth,
Loyalty and other virtues,- are
inculcated in . hieroglyphic sym
bols during the initiation of the
candidate, and he is often re
minded that there is an "AH see

the workings of his heart and is
ever fixed upon the thoughta-ad
actions of men. -
