Development in the South.

UeVelUpllleNL Ill tlte 00UtN.
People who have not kept in touch
with the progress of developments
in most of the Southern states will
be surprised to find how mu his real
ly being accomplished, even at this
time when business is supposed to be
moving along at a rather slow rate.
The only feature of Southern en-
terprise which appears to be at all
below normal is cotton manufacture
ing. The railroads ere generally
gaining ground. There is active
building in the tractioA field to con-
meet cities by electrical lines. A
single project of suburban construct
ion extended from Anderson, S. G.,
to Durham, N. c., involves an expen-
diture of $30,C00,000.
Probably the most encouraging
feature in the whole field of South
ern industry is the extent to which
local capital and labor is finding its
way into smaller enterprises. These
have arisen to meet the needs OF
limited markets in which much lar
ger demand has been created by the
increase in the buyinf capacity CT
farmers and the employees OF the
mills. Among these are woodwork
ing establishments, foundries, imple-
ment factories; ice-making plants,
machinery and repairing; construct
ion of vehicles and the building OF
-four and feed mills. To these m ght
be added vegetable canning estab-
Iishments, many of which take up
an increasing part of the fruits ard
vegetables grown in the South.
Growth iuindustries such as these
has helped to transform the entire
range ofSouthern agriculture. One
of the changes is seen in the tend
ency to concentrate the employment
of labor and capital on land upon a
smaller acreage. Parallel with this
has come the wiser policy of provld-
ing for that variety of crops which
makes farm ing something nearer to
a self sufficing industry. A third
change is the gradual adjustment of
farm produce to the needs OF the
towns and cities, with special regard
to the current demands Of the mill
population for food supplies. This
has given fresh impulse to dairy
ing, the production of live stock for
meat supplies and the growth OF Or
chard products conveniently market
able from the point of production
The changes have called for banks,
for insurance companies, for building
ORGANIZATIONS and for various other
forms of the utilization of surplus re-
sources, which come with departure
from purely agricultural to a rapid
ly growing industrial and commercial
ORGANIZATION of the community.
With these have come the evolution
of a variety Of talent among the peo-
pie, evident in the capacity with
which these enterprises and institu-
tons have in the main been conduct
ed. The field Of opportunity for bust
ness talent in the South has become
one of the most inviting among the
many afforded by country OF man
fold opportunities.-Wall Street

WILL PUSH POSTAL BANK BILL.

President Taft Wants the Senate to
Get Busy-Three Measures He De-
sires Them to Pass Upon i'm the
Near Future.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 21.-Pres-
ident Taft read in the papers to-day
that the Senate was marking time
while the House is struggling with
it's various appropriation bills. So he
sent for Senator Penrose. of Pennsyl-
vania; Crane, of Massachusetts,, and
Carter. of Montana, and asked why
it would not be a good thing for the
Senate to "get busy" on some of the
measures he has recommended.
The President broaehed the subject
of the postal savings bank bill. All
three of the Senators thus summoned
are members of the Committee on
Post-offices and Post Roads. Mr.. Pen
rose Is chairman. Senator Carter Is
sponsor for the measure.
But some Senators. 1t was suggest
ed in reply to the President, are moi
warm advocates of postal banks. But
the President argued, the Republican
platform called for postal savings
banks. and surely the Senators were
going to redeem the party pledges.
But what about the House? Thi:
was propounded as a poser.
President Taft is said to have as
sured the Senators that they neet
not worthy about the House 1t 1.
said that there is every reason to be
| lieve that the House is coming
around all right.
So 1t happened when Senators Pen
rose, Crane. and Carter left tn
White House, the latter, acting a.
spokesman for the trio. declared:
| THE postals savings bank proposi
| ton will become law at this session
of Congress.

Congressman Morehead.
Mount Airy Leader.1

The election of Congressman John
M. Morehead as a member Of the
National Congressional Committee is
a deserved compliment, and the Re
publican delegation for North Caro-
lima is to be congratulated upon the
selection. Mr.. Morehead has already
proven himself to be splendid poll
tician, and the fact that he has been
named for this position will draw
strength from the business element
of the Democratic party, and give
Republicans hopeful view Of the
situation. A few more selections like
this and some politics on the part OF
the National administration would
add several more members of Con-
gress from this State.

Secession" Movement Against Farm
ers' Cooperative Union Fails.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 21.-Absolute
collapse of the so-called secession"
movements in the Texas and Oklaho-
ma divisions of the National Farm
ers' Cooperative and Educational
Union was in substance the report
made to President Charles s. Barrett
to-day by A. C. Shuford, Secretary
of the National Board of Directors.
Mr.. Shuford has just returned
from a visit to those States, where
he was sent by the National Board
to straighten matters out. He says
that in Oklahoma the State officials
of the Union will resign at the forth
coming State Convention and new of
ficers in thorough accord with the
national organization will be chosen.
In Texas Mr.. Shuford says: 'The
last shred of secession rot will dry
like his stalks in the fire at the ap-
preaching State Convention"
He attributes the dissension in
both States to a few disgruntled Of
f1ce-seekers.

TAFT'S SUCCESSFUL DIPLOMACY

The Interests Which Have Been yio-
lating the Law by Crushing Out
Competition and Charging Enor-
nous Profits ON Watered Stock
Have at Last Realized That Mr..
Taft Is Determined to Garry Out
His Campaign Utterances-Water
ed Stocks i'm Wall Street Have
Declined.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 25. 1910.
Special to the Caucasian:
The great trusts and the malefac-
tors of great wealth generally are at
least becoming alarmed for fear that
President Taft means to stand
squarely by the platform of his party
and his campaign utterances to sup
port and carry forward the Roose-
welt policies in every respect.
Immediately after the election of
President Taft the newspapers con-
once to pat the President on the back
and declare that the country was
now safe from agitation and uninter-
rupted prosperity was assured. They
also started campaign urging the
President to send message to Con-
gress to amend the Sherman anti
trust law so that it could not be en-
forced so as to hurt the good
trusts" They continued to announce
that the President would do this, and
that all the trusts and combinations
would be safe under his administra-
tion. AS a part of their campaign,
they have continuously been sending
delegations representing the various
com mbinations Of capital to Washing
ton to interview the President and
beg him to be good"
The Presidents Successful Diplomacy
1t seems, however, that these in
terests which have been violating the
law by crushing out competition and
charging enormous profits on water
President Taft is determined to carry
out his contract with the people of
the United States in good faith. They
also have seen and realized within
the last week that the President
knows how to accomplish results, for
that he has been able to compromise
and settle the differences between the
Stand-patters and Regulars in his
party and the Insurgents or Progress
sives, to the extent that they will all
unite in passing legislation to carry
out his recommendations. During
the past week or ten days, as this
conviction has gradually gone home,
the prices of stocks and bonds on
Wall Street have been gradually de-
clining, that is. some of the water is
gradually oozing out.
It is announced to-day that there
is almost a panic in Wall Street as
result of a conference of leading
trust magnates and the conclusion
that it was impossible to swerve the
President from his promises and
pledges as given to the American
people.
1t is known that the administra-
| tion feels confident that the Supreme
Court will uphold the decisions in
the Standard Oil case and the Tobac-
CO Trust cases, and that Immediately
following the action of the court in
| these cases that prosecutions will be
pushed against the meat trust, the
| steel trust, the Southern and Union
Pacific Railroad mergers, and mum.
ber of the larger combinations Of
capital in the country.

Sllroutied I'm Mystery.

Shrouded I'm Mystery.
Goldsboro, Jan. 24.-News reach
ed this city this afternoon from
Princeton, a small town twelve miles
from Goldsboro. reporting horrible
homicide in that town about IL
O'Clock Saturday night, when Frank
Langley. a young white man, was
shot and instantly killed in a board
ing house run by Mrs. Pearce.
Troy Pearce. his father and two
brothers, Albert and Andrews Pearce,
and a blacksmith by the name of
Lem Sauls, are in jail charged With
the crime. which according TO the
reports, is cold-blooded murder.
Sauls. the blacksmith, left Princeton
late Saturday night, but was captur-
ed later by the sheriff near Selma
and placed in Jail.
He denied being In the party of
the crowd who did the killing, but
later admitted that he was a member
of the party but did not know who
did the awful deed.
John e. Pearce, an uncle OF the
Pearce party, was also in the house
at the time of the killing and says
that the crime lays between Troy
and Andrew Pearce. that he had re-
tired for the night and the clock~in
his room had begun the stroke Of
eleven, but only a few strokes had
broke the stiffness, WHEN the succeed
ing ones were drowned by the dis
charge of shot gun, which was fol-
lowed by blood-curdling yell. This
is the only statement he would give
other than to say that the killing lay
between Troy and Andrew Pearce.
He has also been placed in jail.
The body of the deceased was placed
in cart by the murderers and car
ried down the Southern railroad
track about half a mile from the
scene of the tragedy and left on the
rails in order to try to hide the crime
by letting the train pass over the
body, the night train going out from
this city severed the head from the
body, but at the coroner's inquest
held Sunday afternoon, it being dis
covered that the deceased came to his
death as the result of gun shot
wound, they rendered their verdict to
the effect that Frank Langley came
to his death by being shot in the back
with a shot gun. The jury ordered
that Troy Pearce. his father and two
brothers, Andrew and Albert and
Lem Sau1s be arrested and charged
with the crime, as circumstantial evi-
dence very strongly pointed towards
one of the above party being respon-
sible for the fatal shooting. One
witness testified that he heard the
report of the gun and only few sec
onds passed before he heard the
mother of Troy Pearce scream two
or three times and in sobbing voice
exclaim: my God, Troy, you have
killed Frank" So far the prisoners
have refused to discuss the affair and
the killing is as deep mystery as ii
was the night it occurred.
