MRS. MOSS UNDER S2OO BOND.

lDe preliminary trial Of w B. Moss, Mrs. Martha Moss and Frank Stewart, on the charge of raising S1 % bills to $500 and passing them, occurred at Fayetteville Saturday before Squire Cherry. The defend- ants were represented by Col. T. NJ. Gunter and E. B Wall and prosecuting attorney J. w. Walker looked after the interests of the state.
 At the opening of court 1t was announced the case against Mir Stewart had been dismis, sed, the state using him as a witness.
 Mir Moss plead guilty to the charge of raising the bills, but the state took the evidence against him nevertheless.
 The first witness examined was Frank Stewart, 23 years of age. He testified that on ol about December 2S or 29 he saw Moss at work raising two one dollar treasury notes Moss told me the only way the bills could be detected from the genuine was by looking at the picture on the bill 1 saw him at work on one of the bills II the front room and on one il I the kitchen. When he was a work in the kitchen he had knife and and was scratching or erasing the let CTS and fig ures from the S1.OO bill. My grandmother was present portion ot the time.
 MRS. FANNIE LUTHER, wh' owns the house occupied by tn defendants and who lived in portion of the house, was th next witness. A week or tw ago I passed through tn kitchen, in which were Nh Moss and his mother. Nh Moss was seated at table an had a small glass which cor tained clear substance z
 fluid or liquid, ill which 1 nc ticed white specks. l though I saw Moss putting somethln

PROSPERITY SOUTH.

The south is realizing a liberal
share of the general prosperity.
Particularly in the industry of
cotton manufacturing the southern
states are making notable progress.
Returns show that during the five
months ending with May, fifty new cot
ton mills were built or projected in
volving an estimated outlay of ,500,-
600, while more than half that number
of established concerns We're enlarged
at Il cost of over S5,O0O00O. Thus in
the short space of five months definite
provisions have been made for the in
vestment in cotton manufacturing of
of this expansion has taken place in the
Carolinas, but most of the other states
have increased this industry.
This productive growth is not war
ranted by the demands of the home
market, but the increasing foreign
trade in cotton goods appears to Justify
it, though it is of course quite possible
that the future of this trade may be
somewhat overestimated. At all events
it is a noteworthy evidence of southern
enterprise and it may also have some
political significance. AS the south ac
quires capital and advances in indus
trial and commercial development it is
reasonably to be expected that con
servative ideas in regard to finance and
business will gain ground there, with
necessary Improvement in political
views and conditions. Increasing pros
perity must have the effect there, as it
has elsewhere, of dispelling the finan-
cial fallacies which now have their
stronghold in that section. The growth
of industries has produced a strong
protection sentiment in the south; prog
ress in acquiring capital will create a
sentiment favorable to financial hon
esty. The free silver hercsy will go
down there as elsewhere before advanc-
ing prosperity.

Kitchener and Otis.

Springfield (MaSS) republican.
The English say very nattering things
about the military genius of Lord Kitch-
ener, the conqueror of mahdism in the Sou
dan Yet Lord Kitchener's task was not so
difficult in a military sense as is General
Otis in the Philippines. His lordship's
main work was to build a railroad up the
valley of the Nile and then meet the der
wishes with his machine guns. When he
found them, the dervishes kindly formed
themselves into a compact mass and rode
straight across a field into the mouths Of
the MaXims. Before they had crossed the
field there was very little war left. About
10000 OF the harbarians were killed and
wounded. The Filipinos are not so accom-
modating. Besides, Lord Kitchener had no
such climate to contend with as General
Otis meets Were it not for the Nile, all
Egypt would be a desert like Sahara, for
there is no rainy season in that region.
Kitchener's campaign was thoroughly sci
entifc and merits commentator, but 1t
was more like building a tenement house
than an exhibition OF military genius.
