BUSINESS PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.

While much of the business growth of the United
States during the past year been by the
industrial development of the north it is gratifying
toward material prosperity Its growth along industrial
lines has been truly marvellous.
Advance sheets of article to be printed in the
Manufacturers Record which is published Baltimore
give just hint of this development. There been
industrial revival throughout the SOUTH in the construc
construction of shipping for the trade In the last
named industry alone there has been great BOOM the
shipyards at Newport News is declared having
tracts ahead which will furnish employment for 1000
5000 for the next two three years There has also
been great improvement in the terminal facilities
southern ports, which will give impetus to the export
trade of that section, which amounts than
five hundred millions of dollars year. about 95 per
cent of the total of the country
But the south has had a railroad awakening During
the past year there has been nearly 5000
miles of road representing investment of
fifty millions of dollars and plans have been made for the
construction of than 5000 miles during
year 1903 This is enough in itself give the south
great boom, but when this is added the development
in the cotton spinning industry representing for the
year investment of more than 000 with
addition of 1,11S,2S4 spindles and 1867 looms, it will
be that the south is making substantial progress
toward industrial independence This is good thing

south in many ways that will count for good

THE OLD MISSISSIPPI.
Nj. M. MURDOCH. Editor.

In of the January magazines writer IN reviewing
glory of the Mississippi river in the old days and
the considerable traffic which still worms up and down
its kinky course the hardhood to encourage the
steamboat men in their belief the old days may come

ascendancy how it dominated until the civil war;
uarrating the coming of the invidous railroad which
could establish depot anywhere, without fear of shift
ing channel or high water. and concluding with
the tragedy in which the railroads finally Slapped the
commercial monarch of the central west of his glory
Two things he leaves the river STILL the transporta
ton which the railroads cannot compee-logs from
the north and from Ptsburg, which be RATED
with cheapness that railroad could duplicate
He does not note this writer that the Mississippi
river successfully used after being downed by the
railroads basis for competitive water rate in dis

GLOOMY VIEW OF NATIONAL PROGRESS.


The tendency citizens this republic is to
measure growth in numbers. China they
growth by ability get rid of numbers. In the
palmy days of old Greece and Rome they measured
growth by numbers too little thinking that if the
bers achievements in matters
that character the fabric of numbers
might yet become rotten and topheavy and fall with
crushing weight upon what had civic virtue
and prudence
Reasoning along the lines just quoted, the Boston
Globe takes pessimstic progress Of the
public. It says;
eff we were certain that real growth measured
by numbers, either in population commercial ascend
ancy, position the colossus of nations
sured already. We begin century with popu-
laon of about 100000. Our present population is
twice Kingdom 10000 900 greater
than that of Germany, and than double that of
France. We are steadily approaching inevitable

that spite all education suicide insanity and

NARROW ESCAPE.
Olivet Baptist Church Damaged
by Fire Sunday Morning.
Caught During Services and
Prompt Action Necessary to
Save the House.

Oliyet Baptist church caught on
fire Sunday morning while the pas
tor, Rev. w. T. Gill, was preach
ing. The flames were in the attic,
having caught from the Hue. Ex-
citement followed the discovery,
and the church was soon emptied.
There was no panic and no one
was hurt in the hasty exit.
Harry Gregory was first to take
in the situation and his prompt &C
ton saved the church. He clibmed
upon the roof and with an axe cut a
hole in the roof and a few buckets
of water passed to him sufficed to
eXtinguish the flames.
No effort was made to resume the
interrupted service.
The damage to the building can
be repaired for about $25.

Ed Moseley,
George Holland was arrested
Friday and when confronted with
certain points of evidence against
him he confessed and implicated six
more men. Later Ed Mosely told
the officers that he saw the murder
committed and was afraid to tell it
and he was also taken in charge.
According to Holland s confession
the negroes we're in Pembroke on
Saturday Nov. IA and saw the
stranger display a roll of money
and watched him when he went to
r. f. Chilton's farm and camped
in the woods. He built fire and
went to sleep. The negroes during
the night crept upon him and Hol-
land says Meredith dealt the Sleep
ing man a murderous blow with
the pick handle afterwards found
in the leaves, The body quivered
and to complete the work George
Holland sprang upon the dying man
and cut his throat. All of the gang
took part in searching and robbing
the body. The spoils were then di-
vided and the murderers then dis
figured the dead man s face by cut
ting away the flesh and burying it
in the ground. They lacerated the
throat, cut off the ears and mutila-
ted the body. The clothes were
slashed and torn, the shoes taken
off and burned and the body drag
ged to the pile of rails some dis
lance away and concealed where it
was afterwards found When found it
had been rooted about by hogs and
had the appearance of having been
partially devoured.
The details of the murder were
published in the Kentuckian and
attention all over the
State. Gov. Beckham offered a
reward of $3.50 for the capture and
OF the murderers. Coun
ty Judge Fowler offered $50 and
these amounts we're supplemented
by the people of Pembroke, who
500 to a reward fund.
A glove dropped near the scene
by Frank Meredith, alias Merri-
weather, was the first clew dis
covered and he was kept under
watch. George Hollands &C
lions also excited suspicious and it
was finally decided to take him in
charge, with the result given
above.
The eight men heavily manacled
with trace chains, were brought to
Jail here Sunday and are now in
The identity of the victim is still
a mystery. The man was stran.
ger and there is no very great ex-
element over the matter and there
is not believed to be any danger of
mob law, since the conviction of the
is necessary to secure
the $500 reward for their capture.
The murder was a most atrocious
one, and if the right men are in
and the indications are
strongly in favor of the belief that
no mistake has been made, there is
an excellent chance for a wholesale
hanging in Christian county.
