All drugalat Fever of Southern Prosperity Epi demlc M.nufurtnrvn' Rttttnl. What mi Umpiring prospect the future hold out for business activ ity! Id all our history there was never before a tune when every thing was iim favorable as today for guaranteeing a really marvelous ex pansion of business. Today the far mers of all sections are prosjierous, and not only practically free, from dcht, hut an a class, having large accumulated earnings they euter the new crop year with the aasur a i ice of the largest aggregate grain and grass crops ever produced, commanding a good price, with an eual as.su ranee that the cotton rrop, which iu value will rank an one of the U'st ever sold, giving to Southern farmers for thin staple alone ttiOO.OiMMMK) or more. The farmers are iudced having their fat years, and in the abundance of the present they can only le thankful that the lean yearn are so far be hind an to be almost forgotten. Coincident with this agricultural wealth is the greutest expansion ever known in iron and steel. Cot ton manufacturing and lumbering interests vie with iron aud steel in pro8Krity. Railroads are crowded to the limit of their rapacity, and new rolling stork aud thousands of miles of new lines are needed to meet the pressing demand for trans portation. Railroad earnings are increasing at such a rate that uew records are Wing made every mouth. Wherever one turns the same conditions prevail. In the coal aud iron sections of the South there is a great rush of business and investment, aud anyone study ing the roal regions of West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir ginia and Alabama might Is? justi fied in imagining that here, indeed, is centering the broadest possible development of the South, and iu contemplating this one might be excused for forgetting that North Carolina alone is developing at the present time water-powers which in the aggregate will rival that at Niagara; that towns scarcely knowu of a few years ago are becoming active industrial centers; that new railroads developing in Eastern Carolina and Virginia will spend from M, 000, 000 to 10,0OO,OOO in the building, equipment aud pur chase of established lines and tim Iter proiierties, in the enlargement of present operations and in the development of facilities for export trade. And the North Curoliuian studying these conditions might be excused if he almost forget that across the line iu South Carolina and (Jeorgia there is almost equal, if not equal prosperity. And when we turn from the central South to the Southwest, Texas and Oklaho ma and Iudiau Territory and .South ern Missouri all send up tales of activity, of the incoming of new settlers, of heavy investments and new enterprises, of new and more costly dwellings, of new aud larger factory and office buildings, of new railroads, a ad everywhere through out that region ron.e stories of a ham of prosperity which would make om think that there, indeed, was the great eeuter of Southern activity if you bad not heard of North Carolina aud Virginia aud Kentucky aud Teunesaec and Ala bama. Talk about yellow fever, the real great fever w hich is spreading all over the South the fever ten times more active than yellow fever is the fever of industrial expansion and business prosperity, lint it is a healthy fever. It is one which is stirring the blood and quickening the pulse of the whole South, and one which brings no languor in its wake; for it is free from any boom or speculative tendencies. liut in thiukiugof the prosperity of the South we must not forget that this piosperity is by no means con lined to thissection. It spread from the Atlautic to the Racine, from the Lakes to the Rio (i ramie. Nor is it routined alone to the Uuited States. Canada and Mex iro are giving us a lively race in industrial activity, and when we look out over the broad world we see no signs of industrial depres sion, but, on the contrary, many signs of industrial advancement everywhere. In Germany, in Eng land, in France there is a steady improvement in the business out look, and wheu we turn to the Orieut we fiud a condition which bailies all human calculation, and tne study or which oens np a glimpse of possibilities beyond our ability to fully grasp. It is indeed an inspiring study to take a survey of the world's business outlook just now. No liv ing man has ever seeu such a con dition, and he who is fortunate enough to live for ten or twenty years longer ill see an advance nient so wonderful that no mau would today dare attempt to fore cast; for however conservative he might lie, the picture which he would be eoinitellod to draw of the coining years would lie regarded as but the wild dream of a visionary enthusiast. Fortunate, indeed, is the man who has before bim the opportunity of being an active fac tor in the progress uf the next ten or tweuty years. (5hk1 advice to women.

Can highwayman be a rhrist ianf Iu the morning's mail we pick up two of our most interesting aud quickest-read contemporaries the Charlotte Otwerveraud Charity and Children. The leading editorial in each is altoot the all talked of man, John I). Rockefeller. In their de scription of the man aud his meth ods they both agree that be has been a highwayman. Rut marvel ously euough, they vastly disagree in their conclusions. The second proclaims bim a christian, the first says it is the case of the rich man, the needle's eye, and the camel. Because of its wonderful conclusion, we give first the article from Char ity and Children: "Of course there is no serious meaning to the flippant references to Mr. John I). Rockefeller by the newspaiers, but the onslaughts made upon him by such ducks as Tom atson aud Ira M. Tarltell have done no little to establish his character among right-thinking people. The malignity with which they assail him is very good evi dence that they have axes to grind. We have no doubt in the world that the methods of the Standard Oil Company are cruel and unjust; that Mr. Rockefeller made bis uiouey, uot iu honest competition with his fellows, but by crushing them. He has organized a system that is remorseless aud heartless, and because of its immense power overrides and destroys all who dare compete with it Hut while we be lieve all this, we have looked in joy, according to the woman who hates bim, in the service of his church, is the highest pomible tribute to bis christian character. We believe Rockefeller is a chris tian, and we believe it because of hat his enemies say alstut bim." This is the completes! case of "Philip drunk and rbilip sober" that we have ever seen. This style of hide aud seek, the shuttle cork ar gument from a mau's personal char acter to what be does in bis business and all bis relations with his M lowmen, is doing more to weaken the faith of tbe masses of the peo ple in the genuineness of religion than anything else. How on earth a man can violate tbe most funda mental principles of Christ's teach ings in bis relations to bis fellow men, and still be a christian, even though be bas not been faithless to his wife nor been a druukard, and attend church regularly, we can not see, If these three points do not sum up what Charity and Chil dren calls bis personal character, then what others can lie embraced, for the paper itself says that it be lieves that be has not been honest with his fellows, but has overriden their rights and crushed them with his strength! Can a man who is a Dr. Jekyl in business be a rhrist ian, even thongh he is a Mr. Hyde at hornet Can a man who goes forth iu the day to trample upon the rights of others, to violate Christ's fundamental law of doing nnto oth ers as ho would be done by, be a christian by merely staying at home with his own wife at night, looking not upon the wine when it is red character and then take hiui into the fold, goes a bowshot lieyoud what a sensible man should be call- down in holiest endeavor.

They admit his "pure private life", and only say that it does not excuse bis public rascality, while Charity and Chil dren also admits both, but savsthey harniottie. The true secret of Mr. Rockefeller's character is that he bas a different code of ethi.-s from Sunday school class he said regard ing bis giving: '"In prottortiou to your investment, so will your divi dends be." Not for the good it will do others, but for what it will do for me. Mr. Rockefeller does not consciously look at it that way. He hits too much sense to think that he could make au outright purchase of salvation. It is the re- either of these two disputants.

It is rare indeed for a iug to church on Sundayt If he can, we have the phariseeism, agaiust which Christ's most scathing phil ippics were pronounced, revived again in all its glory. Most of the Rockefeller apologists deny that bis busi uess has been wrong, and called religious life is a result of who set up the Rockefeller stand early habits and his methodical and ard as the ideal for American systematic mind. He trained him- j youth. The end does not always self that way, and there is no temp-j justify the means, even if a mau tation to change it.

In all the plati tudes drilled into the cars of his Sunday school class, there is not one genuine religious emotion. It is all a ding dong itltoiit success, an emphasis upon correct living, not for the Iteauty of the holy life, but because it is the surest foundation for success lu life. So much for his correct life, not half so jterfect as that of the young man who turned away sorrowing from Christ lo calise the christian test was too severe.

It is inconceivable that a child of the years of the little negro, Kl more I'lnllips, who was taken to the penitentiary Saturday to serve term of eight years, could hold out against every adverse condition as did this boy. From the day of his arrest to the hour of his leaving for Raleigh (Saturday morning he stolidly protested his innocence. Shrewd lawyers, accustomed to dealing with criminals of every type, condition and age were im pressed by the boy s story. And then, too, it must le said to the credit of these sharp witted judges of human nature that pity for ten der years invoked mercy. It was uot until Sheriff Julian was well on his way to Raleigh Saturday morning that the Isiy con fessed himself the murderer of his step-lather. He was unmoved while telling the story w Inch was finished with a few words. A few days preceding the murder the lmy heard a dispute between his step father aud his mother and saw the former strike her a terrible blow across the right arm with a big club. He resolved then to avenge the injury, and the first opportu nity that presented itself was the discovety on the afternoon three days later that his stepfather was sleeping. He took down a breech loader, put the barrel at the sleep ing man's temple, blew his head off and dragged bim to a thicket. The boy expresses no regret for his crime. A KMiljr.SSiVr rK.'k.-lAN.
