The Georgian calls the attention of Its multitude of
correspondents to these facts: That all communications
must be signed. No anonymous communication will bo
printed. No manuscripts will be returned unless stamps
are inclosed for the purpose. Our correspondents are
urgently requested to abbreviate their letters as much
as posslbts. A half a column will be read, whereas a
full column will be passed over by the majority of
readers.
No Occasion For Pessimism.
We truit The Constitution will call a halt upon Its
pessimistic vein in depreciating Atlanta too much on ac
count of a riot with which tho better class of Its people
hid nothing to do.
The Constitution has had too much to say about the
falling off in our bank clenrlng 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 rfib it In too much
or attribute It too directly to the depredation 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 the deficit In the bank
clearances of last week. In tho first place we had a
week of almost Incessant rain. The conditions of the
weather were almost without precedent at this time of
year. Many business enterprises such ns that of Mr.
Gholsttn's factory were halted with workmen waiting
at hand on account of the rain. Pedestrians were kept
from the streets and the stores were not nearly so well
patronized. And if The Constitution will think a moment
It will realize 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 tho record
Was a bright, sunshiny and Inspiring week for trado.
Joining nil of these things to this unwelcome weath
er, we can find aomethlng at least to modify the doleful
tale of Atlanta's reduced hank clearances during the
past week. And wo bid The Constitution bo of good
^ cheer in the assurance that Atlanta Is neither dead nor
dying, and that Its bank clearances and receipts of all
kinds will speedily resume their normal tone.
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 resting In time of
danger and riot.
Atlanta la growing ,o be a large city now and every
large city lias found tho necessity for an armory for Its
soldiery. New York has half a dozen, other cities
have more than one, ane Atlanta needs one Just now.
An establishment of this kind consistently nnder
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 tho vital Interests of the
city.
The proposition to build this establishment large
enough to Include In It a great central hall for conven
tlons, stnte and national, and a city hall of large propor
lions will appeal to the common sense and judgment of
the city.
Tho only question is the money.
The proposition to Induce many of the subscribers
to the exposition fund to divert their subscriptions to
tills 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 be willing to go the full
air.runt of their subscriptions to this cause, but even If
they give half or one-third of their subscriptions It
would make a nucleus around which the public spirit of
Atlanta could readily revolve to raise tho remainder.
Our vo’unteer 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 PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning ilsown gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water norks. 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 cities, 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 way be some years be
fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOIV
' Georgia’s Building at Jamestown.
At the recent meeting of the (leorgla Commission to
the Jamestown Exposition It was unanimously agreed
to have a Georgia building, and Colonel Mitchell, the
president of the commission, advised that he had selected
a plot of ground fronting the wgter contiguous to the
_Jitpte. buildings of Virginia, Maryland and Ohio.
Under tho act of the Georgia legislature appropriat
ing $30,000, no part of this fund enn he used In the erec
tion of a building. The amount necessary must be
railed from other sources. The plan of President Mitch-
• ell Is, ns our local Interview shows, to have ihe principal
cities of Georgia contribute—and a room In tho building
designated for each city so contributing, all decorations
•nd furnishings being the product of the city occupying
the room, showing ill the room the diversified manufac
tures, fine nrts, educational and 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. Georgia must he splen
didly represented at Jamestown, showing to the millions
that will bo present that sho tc the Empire State of
the South, and within her state building will cluster
her cities—and as the visitor to the Georgia building
goes through the various rooms Georgians can point with
pride to the prosperity and enterprise of her municipali
ties.
Through the courtesy of the architect. Mr. Marve, a
former Virginian, who built our beautiful Terminal sta-
' tlon, his services have been given the commission free.
This will surely set an example to Georgia cities, and
Ths 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 arc a
Uttle slow in handling thf various communications with
which they have favored this paper during the last fort
night.
The rush to the columns of The Georgian on the
ipart 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 evtdence of partiality on the part of
the people who think and read In Georgia. We appre-
elate that preference for the clean, fair columns of The
Georgian in which to exploit their views, and we trast 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 have every day
within the laat fortnight left out of each paper much
reading matter. We are glad to hear from our friends
at any time and we enter only the admonitory caution
to make every communication as brief as possible in
order to insure both Its appearance and its leading by the
poopla.
An Early Mercenary—A Sermon.
And Herod was highly displeased with them
of Tyre and Sldon; hut 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 xli.
Few people have an aptitude for reading Scripture
with a vivid conception of fhe 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
see clearly the character and motives of the times.
Herod was a creature of Rome. His family boasted of
descent from the Maccabees, though tn truth they were
bastard and Incestuous race In whose veins were
small trace of Jewish blood, far less of tho royal and pa
triotic strain of the 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. Tho favored few had usurped all oppor
tunity. The people were tn a worse condition than ever
before In their history. The dry rot had settled like 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 and depu
ties.
Nor Is It surprising that the rulers were corrupt,
selfish, unmindful of the welfare of the state, reveling
In beastly excesses and open only to the solicitations
and cajollorles of Intrigue.
Tyro and Sldon were ports on the Mediterranean, de
pending for their opulence upon the commerce of the
East, the rich traffic of Asia, costly stuffs and luxurious
viands that from the far valleys of the Tigris and the
Euphrates sought an outlet to the world through the
highways of the great deep.
in their rivalry with other ports the merchants of
Tyre and Sldon found it Imperative to maintain friendly
relations with Herod's government. Not only the com
merce of his own viceroyalty was to tie played for. but
his land lay In such position that he could at any time
cut off the passage of traffic either by open force or the
Imposition of prohibitive tariffs.
Therefore, It was that "they of Tyre and Sldon 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 ports. Dealing with such a man as Herod,
they of Tyre and Sldon knew that considerations of pa
triotism or of public good would weigh ns nothing, and
therefore they "made Blastus, the king's chamberlain,
their friend and desired pcaee."
What a picture of the times. To the thoughtful Im
agination. what a suggestion of graft and intrigue Is here.
Blastus, a high official, with the ear of a corrupt monarch
open to his blandishments. It Is so easy to fill 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 ami make a pres
ent day application.
As Tyre and Sldon could be commercially destroyed
or their growth and 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 h.v other ports, so today
other |mrt In all the world Is dependent for Its
i>ower and wealth on the free passage of traffic through
'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
and nature that the average haul through them Is shorter
by a thousand miles than through New Orleans or the
Northern |iorts.
If the people of Georgia had their way, these things
would he nnd our ports would grow rich. But we have
put into the hands of certain railroad kings a vtce-
royal power to fix the tariffs for the transit of commerce
between America und the Indies, and somehow, these
viceroys must be "displeased with them of Brunswick
and Savannah." for they force the Indian comtherce
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 port*, snd therefore they have already
made Blastus their friend.
The people of Georgia and her ports have no longer
hope in relief by intrigue. They muat uat force. We
may call it competition.
GOMPERS FLAYS
IF
Chicago, Oct. 1.—Samuel Gompers
conducted his “Sunday school” 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
in the meeting showed a disposition to
be unruly, hut peace was established
when Gompers rehuktngly said: “Don’t
fight with your flats 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.
The largest meeting of printers held
since the Inauguration of the eight-
hour day strike was held in the after
noon at the Second regiment armory.

MRS. MARY ADAMS DIES
SUDDENLY AT EATONTON.
Speeinl to The Georgian.
Eatonton, Ga., Oct. 1.—Mrs.
The parade ground at Fort McPher
son had an unusually lively appearance
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
was one of expectancy.
For the Seventeenth Is expecting or
ders to march. Any minute may bring
the telegram from Washington Order
ing the First and Second battalions to
entrain for Newport News preparatory
for embarkation for Cuba and active
service. No orders have been received
Monday at noon, but this did not pre
vent every preparation. The Seven-
1 teenth Is ready to leave Its post In an
hour.
"I have received no orders as yet."
said Colonel Van Orsdale Monday
morning. The colonel was up early
and at his desk Jn regimental head
quarters, ordering officers and men
about as certain matters of preparation
became necessary. An almost steady
stream of men came In’ at his door to
salute, receive Instructions and return
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
time now’. Yes, I think all of us are
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 anfl H,
with 65 men to the company.
“Arrangements for transportation are
being made through the quartermaster
at the offices of the department of the
gulf. We are not concerned with that
here. It will require seven or eight
day coaches for the men If we use day
coaches. If they have tourist sleepers
it will require more. Two or more
Pullmans will be required for the of
ficers. Then a number of flat cars and
stock cars for the wagons and stock
will be needed. I expect that jhree
sections of the train will be required."
It has not been decided by which
railroad the regiment will travel to
Norfolk and Newport News. Bids will
be received at the offices of the depart
ment of the gulf at 4 o’clock Monday
afternoon and the Southern, "Seaboard,
Atlantic Coast Line and Georgia rail
road will submit bids for furnishing the
trains. The hour set for receiving the
bids Indicates that no movement Is ex-

Tlie two battalions will be command

Majors Maney and Chynoweth. Major
Frank B. McCoy will be left at the fort
In command of the Third battalion and
will be ranking officer at the post dur
ing the absence of Colonel Van Orsdale.
The machine gun detachment under
Lieutenant Murphy will also go with
the two battalions. The regimental
band, the hospital corps and the regi
mental staff officers will accompany the
expedition.
The regiment will wear the regula
tion khaki uniform and overcoats will
not be taken. The latter .order Indi
cates that no long occupation of Cuba
Is expected. Orders have been given,
however, for overcoats to be boxed and
shipped to Newport News, subject to
order, if needed later. The orders call
for head nets nnd mosquito bars, nnd
it is evident that every precaution
against yellow fever will be taken.
SEN. CARSWELL BEATEN
BY AN ARMED NEGRO
WHOM HE REPROVED
Special to The Georgian.
Gordon, Ga., Oct. 1.—Sunday morn
ing about 9 o’clock, John Carswell, a
negro, was cursing on the street near
Senator Carswell’s home. Mr. Cars
well went on the street near the negro
and asked him to stop cursing. The
negro becoming more enraged, knock
ed Mr. Carswell down and beat him
terribly.
Mr. Carswell was unarmed.
The negro escaped. Ho Is armed
with a shot gun. pistol, a Winchester
rifle nnd a supply of ammunition nnd
defies the rest.
The sheriff a* Itwinton telephoned
Gordon for men and rlfies and they are
in pudsult of the negro.
The people of the community are
very much wrought up over the affair
and If the negro is caught a lynching
Is feared.
DOW IE BEGS FOR MONEY
70 WIN BA CK HIS HEALTH
Chicago, Oct. 1.—John Alexander
Dowie 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 tor funds to
carry him comfortably to Ocotlan,
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 falthfulr 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 here well
and hearty once more, and 1 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 rrom
sheer exhaustion.
Last evening considerable money was
needed to pay the expenses of the*
CHEESE EATING CONI ESI
ENDS LIFE OE CHAMPION
%
Liberty vllle. III., Oct. L—Frank
Miller, aged 21, proved that he could
eat more cheese than any other cheese
lover in Johnsburg, nnd then he died.
Fred Justen proved that he could eat
almost as much of the llmburger va
riety as Miller. He probably will die.
Jake Brnyflcld made a poor showing
as a cheese consumer, and he Is only
desperately sick.
Such Is the result of a contest Ibj*
ended* many nights of argcme&i
Johnsburg. Miller’s capacity f<v
was a household proverb in i^l
lage, and Justen was envious.
Held also thought he might be r- ft
if there was any way of settling the
dispute. Next day all three were In
the hands of physicians. Miller's case
was the worst. It looked like appen
dicitis to the doctors, and they oper
ated upon him for it.
THOUSANDS SEE RESCUE
OF GIRL AND FIVE BOYS
Chicago, Oct. 1.—A young woman
and five youths, who had ventured out
In a fierce gale, were saved from Lake
Michigan, off Lincoln park, yesterday,
where their laun h. the Surf, with dis
abled machinery and half filled with
water, was In great peril. The frail
craft was in Imminent danger of being
dashed to pieces against the concrete
and stone wall.
Captain Charles Garland, of the
United States life saving station,
reached the Imperilled launch with the
lifeboat Dauntless not a moment too
soon. The rescue was witnessed by
thousands of people who lined the
shore.
By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
New York, Oct. J.—News cornea from
Chicago that Louis A. Gourdain, the
eccentric financier who was so determ
ined to serve a prison sentence at Joliet
that he announced he would build
himself a dungeon cell Just outside of
the state Institution and Insisted upon
living there in solitary confinement, la
transacting business again along new
lines through a bank he has estab
lished there.
Gourdain apparently needs money.
His private Jail has not been built and
he Is confined In his apartments at the
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
Gourdain Is waiting for investors In
his new cashier's checks saving sys
tem.
In the absence of Gourdain nnd his
assistant cashier, fhe dispatch says,
H. H. Mullen, the clerk, could vouch
safe no information as to the merits
• >t the new system. It is understood,
iiow’ever, that the bank Issues what is
itermed "cashier’s checks," drawing 4
per cent Interest. Cashier 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 nnd 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
such an evil genius, has been revived.
Aram Tnshjlan, the fratricide, has
brought the black spook to life. In a
fresh confession, Aram said:
"The spirit, the little black, awful
spirit, was at me all the time. The
little spirit told me to kill my brother.
“I fought the spirit off for two
months, but it gave me no rest. Day
and night that little black thing whis
pered, ‘Kill, kill, kill your brother. He
is the meanest man that lives.’ *•
In the freshman class of Columbia
University are two blind young men
who intend to take the full course.
Neither has enough money to pay hie
expenses nnd so both will have to work
their way through college. One of the
men, B. Bernstein, is from Albany,
where he won a scholarship. J. H.
Muller, the second blind man, Is mak
ing his way by tutoring.
Has John D. Rockefeller made anoth
er of his remarkable disappearances?
The question is agitating his friends In
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 he has known 50 years. Mrs.
Rockefeller Is still at Forest Hill." •
There are no process servers to dog
the footsteps of Mr. Rockefeller and
there would seem to he no extraordina
ry reason why the Standard Oil man
should “disappear."
Mrs. William Astor has been brought
back to her home on Fifth avenue. Al
though It was rumored that her de
parture from Newport had been decid
ed on suddenly, on account of a quick
change for the worse In her condition,
Mrs. Astor’s secretary said that sho
was greatly improved anti It was
thought that she would soon be wholly
restored to health.
A rumor comes by way of Chicago
that Mrs. Marshall Held Is to wed Dr.
Frank W. Billings.
I)r. Billings was the physician in at
tendance upon the Inte Marshall Field.
He has always been friendly with the
family. After the death of the merchant
prince Dr. Hillings attended Mrs. Field
who was prostrated.
Mrs. Field then went to Europe nnd
opened a house In London. She Is still
In Europe.
W. Lee Hurley, the Harvard foot
ball star, has secretly married Miss
Rose Austin, of San Francisco. Rev.
