No Occasion For Pessimism.
We truet The Conetltutlon will call a halt upon Ita
peailmlstlc vein In depreciating Atlanta too much on nc
count of a riot with which the better claaa of ita people
bad nothing to do.
The Constitution has had too much to say about the
falling off In our bank clearing statements during the
last week, and Is mistaken In crediting the Incident to
the events of the preceding Saturday.
All of this may be interesting enough, but It does not
follow that The Constitution should rub It in too much
or attribute It too directly to the depreciation of At
lanta's business or to the Influence of the riot.
The Constitution might at least remember two or
three things In connection with tjie dellclt In the bank
clearance* of last week. In the tlrst place we had a
week of almost Incessant ratn. The conditions of the
weather were almost without precedent nt this time of
year. Many business enterprises such us that of Mr.
Gholstln'a factory were halted with workmen waiting
at hand on account of the rain. Pedestriana were kept
from the stricts and the atorea were not nearly no well
patronised. And If The Constitution will think a moment
It will realtxe that the cotton receipts for this year by
reason of the late season, are fully two weeks behind
those of the same week last year, which by the record
wbs a bright, sunshiny and inspiring week for trade.
Joining all of these things to this unwelcome weath
er, we enn And something at least to modify the doleful
tale of Atlanta's reduced hank clearances during tho
past week. And wo bid The Constitution be of good
cheer In the assurance that Atlanta Is neither dead nor
dying, and that Its bank clearancca and receipts of all
kinds will speedily resume their normal tone.
Georgia’s Building at Jamestown.
At the recent meeting of the Georgia Commission to
the Jamestown Exposition It wbs unanimously agreed
to have n Georgia building, and Colonel Mitchell, the
president of the commission, advised that he had selected
a plot of ground fronting the water contiguous to the
state buildings of Virginia, Mnryland and Ohio.
Under the act of the Georgia legislature appropriat
ing $30,000, no part of this fund can be used In the erec
tion of a building. The amount necessary must he
railed from other sources. The plan of President Mitch
ell la, aa our local Interview shows, to have the principal
cities of Georgia contribute—and n room In the building
designated for each city so contributing, nil decorations
and furnishings being tho product of the city occupying
the room, showing In the room the diversified manufac
tures, fine arts, educational nnd historical of the city.
This plan appeals to The Georgian and should and
will, we believe, touch a responsive chord In the munici
pal pride of our Georgia cities. Oeorgta must be splen
didly represented at Jamestown, showing to the millions
that will be present that she In the Empire State of
the South, and within her state building will cluster
her cities—and aa the visitor to the Georgia building
goes through the various rooms Georgians can point with
pride to the prosperity nnd enterprise of her municipali
ties.
Through the courtesy of the architect, Mr. Msrye, a
former Virginian, who built our beautiful Terminal sta
tion, his services have been given the commission free.
This will surely set an example to Georgia cities, and
The Georgian believes that a quick, liberal response will
be given by each Georgia city when the case Is presented
to them.
An Apology to Our Correspondents.
Our correspondents must bear with us If we are a
little slow In handling the various communications with
which they have favored this pnper during the last fort
night.
The rush to the columns of The Georgian on the
part of the people has been practically unprecedented.
We have a stack of manuscripts upon our desk more
than a foot high, and more than enough to fill every
column of every page of every newspaper In Atlanta.
We appreciate this evidence of partiality on the part of
the people who think and read in Georgia. We appre
ciate that preference for the clean, fair columns of The
Georgian In which to exploit their views, and we trnst In
time we shall be able tc use them all, or at least all of
those that are not now rendered Ineligible by the passage
of events under discussion.
It has been simply Impossible to use them before.
The Georgian every day In the press of Its local and vital
matters, has been compelled to leave out telegrams for
which we pay in good hard cash, and we hare every day
within the last fortnight left out of each paper much
reading matter. We are glad to hear from our friends
tt any time and we enter only the admonitory caution
'-O make every communication as brief as |K>sslble in
arder to insure both Its appearance and its reading by the
people.
An Armory Auditorium.
There never was a time when the necessity for an
armory and an auditorium was more apparent In Atlan
ta than just now.
In the first place we owe It to our splendid military
organizations that they should have a place to be housed
from the weather and the mob when retting In time of
danger and riot.
Atlanta Is growing -o be a large city now and every
large city has found the necessity for an armary for Its
soldiery. New York has half a dozen, other cities
have more than cne, ant. Atlanta needs one Just now.
An establishment of this kind consistently under
guard would be an effective and ready rendervous for our
military men In time of emergencies, and with the guns
and the men in perfect equipment at all times It
would be a source not less of pleasure than of absolute
comfort and helpfulness to the vital Interests of the
city.
The proposition to build this establishment large
enough to include In it a great central hall for conven
tions, state and national, and a city hall of large propor
tions will appeal to the common sense and Judgment of
the city.
The only question Is the money.
The proposition to Induce many of the subscribers
to the exposition fund to divert their subscriptions to
this new and admirable enterprise, Is a good one. We
take It for granted, however, that not all of those who en
tered Into the exposition will he willing to go the full
atr.runt of their subscriptions to this cause, but even if
they give half or oiy-thlrd of their subscriptions It
would make a nucleus around which the public spirit of
Atlanta could readily revolve to raise tho remainder.
Our volunteer soldiery has won the right to such an
institution. Atlanta needs the auditorium and the city
hall which Is a part of It. and having nothing else of
transcendent Importance In the way of public enter
prises at this time, why should we not Join forces togeth
er and build the armory and auditorium?
OUR PLA TFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta's Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its Water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents,
with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail
ways can be operated successfully by European cilies, as they are, there Is no good reason why they
can not be so operated here. But We do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be
fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW
GOMPEflS FLAYS
INGFi
Chicago, Oct. 1.—Samuel Gompera
conducted his “Sunday achool” for
teamsters yesterday at Appolo hotel,
and In the first lesson laid down the
commandment, "Thou shalt not slug.'*
Nearly 500 drivers gathered to hear
the labor leader. A few of them early
Jn the meeting showed a disposition to
be unruly, but peace was established
when Gompera rebuklngly aald: "Don’t
fight with your fists or with pistols;
fight with your brains and go as far as
you like In that regard."
The drivers were told plainly to cease
bickerings and get Into line for a solid
front In the coming election.
TWO BATTALIONS READY
TO LEAVE FT. MPHERSON
TO JOIN TROOPS FOR CUBA
The parade ground at Fort McPher-.
son had an unusually lively appearance I
Monday morning. Not that any war or |
preparation for war was In evidence.
It was the same old routine, but officers
and men moved about with more ani
mation than on ordinary days. Guard
mount was carried through with a snap
that Indicated interest, the band played
stirring marches and quicksteps that
set the heart leaping. The atmosphere
as one of expectancy. •

An Early Mercenary—A Sermon.
And Herod was highly displeased with them
of Tyre and Sidon; but they came with one ac
cord to him, and, having made Blastus, the
king's chamberlain, their friend, desired peace;
because their country was nourished by the
king's country.—Acts xll.
Few people have an aptitude for reading Scripture
with a vivid conception of the times and surroundings,
Properly to grasp the significance of the bare narrative
of holy writ. It Is needful to clothe the bare skeleton of
the story with the flesh and blood of reality.
If one would comprehend all that Is set down In -the
text It Is necessary to grasp the historical setting and
seo clearly the character and motives of the times
Herod was a creature of Rome. His family boasted of
descent from the Maccabees, though In truth they were
bastard and Incestuous race In whose veins were
small trace of Jewish blood, far less of the royal and pa
triotic strain of tho noble family in whose right they
claimed to rule. ■
The Jews of that day were sunk under a heavy load
of privilege. Every avenue to wealth and fame was
closed to merit. The favored few had usurped all oppor
tunity. The people were In a worse condition than ever
before In their history. The dry rot had settled llW-a
pall on the Jewish state.
Under these conditions It Is not curious that a foreign
and militant power had been able easily to dominate
the policies of Jerusalem and seat by force upon the
throne of David a set of viceregal pretenders nnd depu
ties.
Nor Is it surprising that the rulers were corrupt,
selfish, unmindful of the welfare of the state, reveling
In beastly excesses nnd open only to the solicitations
and cajollerles 6f Intrigue.
Tyre and Sidon were portB on tho Mediterranean, de
pending for their opulence upon the commerce of the
East, tho rich traffic of Asia, costly Bluffs and luxurious
viands that from the fnr valleys of the Tigris and the
Euphrates sought an outlet to the world through the
highways of tho great deep.
In their rivalry with other ports the merchants of
Tyre and Sidon found It Imperative to maintain friendly
relations with Herod’s government. Not only the com
merce of his own vicoroyalty was to be played for, but
his land lay In such position that he could at any time
cut off tho passage of traffic either by open force or the
Imposition of prohibitive tariffs.
Therefore, It was that “they of Tyre and Sidon were
nourished by the king's country;” nnd therefore also was
It that when he “was displeased with them," these canny
merchants of the sea felt the Imperative need for peace.
With a more honest or patriotic ruler, open negotia
tions would have resulted and a treaty been made, out
of which good would have come to all the people
of Herod's domain and corresponding benefit to the
commercial porta. Dealing with such n man ns Herod,
they of Tyro and Sidon knew that considerations of pa
triotism or of public good would weigh as nothing, and
therefore they “made Blastus, the king's chamberlain,
their friend and desired peace."
What a picture of the times. To the thoughtful Im-
nglnntlon. what a suggestion of graft and intrigue Is hero.
Blastus, a high official, with the ear of a corrupt monarch
open to his blnndlshmentg. It Is so easy to All out the
rest.
But what of the people? How and where were their
interests considered? What must have been, what does
history tell of their fate?
And now having dwelt upon the moral and political
aspects of this suggestive text, let us take up just one
of the collateral lessons that It teaches and mRke a pres
ent day application.
As Tyre nnd Sidon rould be commercially destroyed
or their growth nnd welfare retarded by the Imposition
of unjust tariffs on the imports and exports of the East
passing through Herod's territory, and all eastern com
merce forced to seek the West by other ports, so today
any other port in all the iorld Is dependent for Its
power and wealth on the free passage of traffic through
its "hinterland.”
Take Brunswick and Savannah for example. The
government and people of Georgia desire to see the com
merce between the United States, on the one hand, and
South America and the Indies on the other, enriching and
upbuilding these, her cherished cities, so favored by God
nnd nature that the average haul through them Is shorter
thousand miles than through New Orleans or the
Northern ports.
If the people of Georgia had their way, these things
would be and our ports would grow rich. But we have
put Into the hand* of certain railroad kings a vice-
royal power to fix the tariffs for the transit of commerce
between America and the Indies, and somehow these
ieeroys must be "displeased with them of Brunswick
and Savannah," for they force the Indian commerce
through distant ports to our Impoverishment.
Brunswick and Savannah have no access to these
viceregal ears. Other ports far to the North profit when
the viceroys of Georgia put prohibitive tariffs on the com
merce of our ports, and therefore they have already
made Blastus tlielr frleml.
The people of Georgia and her parte have no longer
hope In relief by intrigue. They must use force. We
may call it competitlcn.

stream of men came In at his door to

to carry them out. The colonel talked
between times, though, like most army
officers, he said little.
Regiment is Ready.
"The regiment Is ready to go at any

looking forward to It with pleasure.
Two battalions, the First and Second,
will go, I understand. That Includes
Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H,

"Arrangements for transportation are
being made through the quartermastef

coaches. If they have tourist sleepers
it will require more. Two or more
Pullmans will be required for the of

stock cars for the wagons and stock
will be needed. I expect that three
sections of the train will be required."
It has not been decided by which
railroad the regiment will travel to

DOW IE BEGS FOR MONEY
TO WIN BA CK HIS HEALTH
Chicago, Oct. 1.—John Alexander
Dowle made his last pathetic appeal
for money to his former followers yes
terday. Haggard and weak, the old
man leaned upon the arm of his wheel
chair while he pleaded for funds to
carry him comfortably to OYotlan,
Mexico, where he hopes to regain his
lost health.
The spectacle of the sick man—prob
ably dying—whose eloquence in the
past had brought the dollars from the
pockets of the faithful, begging for
money to pay his personal expenses,
brought pity to those who no longer
believed in his teachings. Among the
straggling group of curious who had
gathered about Shiloh house to hear
his address were those who long ago
had left the flock, but responded to his
call once more.
"I just want to borrow the money,"
he said, as the tears poured down his
cheeks. "I am coming back hero well
and hearty once more, and I will repay
everything. But I must get to Mexico.
I must go in a private car, and that
costs money. Unless you help me you
will regret It."
And the old man leaned forward In
his chair and closed hIs eyes from
sheer exhaustion.
Last evening considerable money was
needed to pay the expenses of the
car.

Such Is the result of a contest that
ended many nights of argument in
Johnsburg. Miller’s capacity for cheese l

New York, Oct. 1.-*—News comes from
Chicago that Louis A., Gourdaln, the
eccentric financier who was so determ
ined to serve a prisog sentence at Joliet
that he announced he would build
himself a dungeon ceil just outside of
the state Institution and Insisted upon
living there In solitary confinement, is
transacting business again along new'
lines through a bank he has estab
lished there. ,
Goimiain apparently needs money.
His private jail has not been built and
he is confined in his apartments at tho
Auditorium annex by sickness. Fred
erick Lindquist, who drew plans for
the miniature penitentiary, has sued
him for $3,000 damages because Gourd-
ain refused to accept the plans. Now
Gourdaln is waiting for investors in
his new cashier’s checks saving sys
tem.
In the absence of Gourdaln and Ills
assistant cashier, the dispatch says,
B. H. Mullen, the clerk, could vouch
safe no information as to the merits
of the new- system. It Is understood,
however, that the bank Issues what is
termed "cashier's checks." drawing 4
per cent interest, (’ashler Mullen is
sending out C. O. D. a check for $1
and a leather pocketbook, his descrip
tion of the latter being "to carry your
money and cashier’s check." The
checks are offered in any amount,
ranging from $10 to $10,000 if one
wants to pay for them.
The "little black man," which fig
ured so prominently In the trial for
murder of George Woods, who asserted
he had been driven to his crime by
mch an evil genius, has been revived.
Araift TashJJan, the fratricide, has
’ brought the black spook to life. In a
| fresh confession, Aram said:
"The spirit, the little black, awful
’ pirit, was at me all the time. Tho
: little spirit told me to kill my brother.
■ "I fought the spirit off fqfr two
J months, but It gave mo no rest. Day
and night that little black thing whis
pered, ‘Kill, kill, kill your brother. He
is the meanest man that lives.”*
Jn the freshman class of Columbia
University are two blind young men
who intend to take the full course.
Neither has enough money to pay Ills
expenses and so both will have to work

men, 13. Bernstein, is from Albany,
where he won a scholarship. ’J.’ H.

Has John D. Rockefeller made anoth
er of his remarkable disappearances?
The question Is agitating his frientfsdn
this city since a dispatch was received
from Cleveland to the effect that Mr.
Rockefeller had not attended church in
three weeks. The Cleveland dispatch
says:
"One rumor places Mr. Rockefeller In
Chicago, visiting friends. Another says
Standard oil business required his
presence In New York. Still another
places Mr. Rockefeller on the farm of a
friend lie has known 50 years. Mrs.
Rockefeller is still at Forest If III.”
There are no process servers to dog
the footsteps of Mr. Rockefeller and
there would seem to be no extraordina
ry reason why the Standard Oil man
should "disappear.”
