An Index of Southern Prosperity.

1t Is q canon among economists that
the success of railroad is an index
of the prosperity Of the territory in
which the railroad is operated. Ii
this is true, and we see no reason to
doubt it, some statistics gathered by
the Industrial Record from recent all
nual reports of railroads in the South,
Indicate prosperous condition Of
this sectien. During the year liberal
gains in gross earnings by railroads
in the South are reported.
The Manufacturers Record makes
out a good case for different roads
in the South. AS we are particularly
interested in the North Carolina
roads, we give only the figures con-
cerning them. There are the South
ern, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Sea-
roard and the Norfolk & Western.
OF the gains by these roads, the
Manufacturers Record says:
"a glance at the figures as far as
gathered (some OF them being for a
little less than the full year, is highly
encouraging as to the future of this
section, although the net earnings
are not given to show the profits of
the lines which latter may be ex-
pected here. and there to exhibit a
smaller percentage of gain as COM
pared with the gross owing to the
higher cost of materials, supplies and
labor. Nevertheless the net gains
are good. In the statements pre-
liminary to the issuing of the full re-
ports we find that the Southern Rail-
way earned in gross during the year
$50, ,696, ,961, which is an increase OF
more than $3,OOO,0O0 as compared
with the preceding year, other COM
parisons herein being similarly made,
regard being paid only to the cor
responding period in cases where the
years earnings are not reported
say for later than May-in some in
stances. The Atlantic Coast Line
shows, including May, $24,674,423,
which is gain of nearly -, 600, 900
in II months. The Seaboard Air
Line reports $15,O5O,36S up to the
end of May, Or an increase of over
81, 100000 for the same period.
Chesapeak ke & Ohio shows $780,
176 which is almost s 900, 900 great
er for the first l months of the fiscal
year, and Norfolk & Western reports
$2S,411, ,994, gain of more than
$2,OOO,O0O in the same period
Along the lines OF these railroads
agricultural, commercial and indus
trial activity has kept pace with
them.

prison met with public approval in
the locality where the circumstances
were well known. Harrison was de-
fendef in bis trial bya notable array
OF counsel, including two former Gov
ernors of North Carolina. Thomas
j. Jarvis aud Charles B. Aycock. He
WAS ably represented in the Supreme
Court, where his appeal was argued
ut this term. The decision adverse
to Harrison was announced Tuesday
of this week
The defense was an attempt to es-
tablish an alibi. The supposed mo-
tive for the Kidnapping was the open
hostility Of Beasley to the illicit whis-
key business, in which it is alleged Har-
risen was engaged. Harrison was
revengeful and vindictive. Itwas re-
ported that he had made threats
against Beasley.
The fact that no trace OF the lost
boy has ever been found led many to
believe that Harrison murdered the
boy, but there is no evidence to sup
port this theory.
