Standinn Room Only.

When Governor Jell1s took the chair at the Jefferson Theatre last night every seat in the house was filled with interested and intelligent auditors. wlo came to hear discussions of the New constitution. The presence of 2,OO0 people in the theatre was evil dence that the feeling in this county concerning the New constitution Is both deep and favorable. The ap- plause and close attention given to MT. Knox's address, which was fully two hours long, attests no common de- gree of interest. The very import ance of the pending constitutional change was made manifest last night in this town. The alleged apathy is not real. It does not exist, If it did, 2,000 people would not attentively listen to long address, able and thor ough and incisive and analytical as it was.
 The meeting last night was an ova- tion to Governor Jelks and ex-Presi- dent Knox in a personal sense, but it was more than that--it showed that the people are awake to the need of constitutional changes, and that lief ferson can safeiy De put in the list of ratifying counties. It is doubtful in- deed whether any list of non-ratifica- tion counties can be made, so fast are men coming to the conclusion that the New constitution is admirably | adapted to the needs of the State that it is at any rate vastly superior in hundred respects to the Old con stitution. Jefferson County promises to head the list of ratification coun- ties. Its sentiment has been erroneous ly reported. The enthusiasm and at tendance of last night show beyond reasonable contradiction that the heart of this great county Is true to the New constitution, and that great majority in favor of 1t will be boiled on the day of ballots in November.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Trusted Bank Messenger Disappears
 With Over $5o,ooo.

New York. October 17-George A. Armitage a messenger at the New Ann sterdam National bank In this city has been missing since Tuesday last. When he disappeared he had with him $50,000 in checks and drafts. According to the Commercial-Advertiser of this afternoon the bank officials believe that he has been foully dealt with. Mr. Armitage had been in the banks service for some time and had always been found reliable and punctual.
 On Tuesday he went out to collect on checks and drafts received by his bank. the sum being veriously stated at from $25, 600 to $60,000. He failed to return to the bank and has not been seen since.
 This morning the bank officers received by express the banks wallet which Armitage had carried, containing all the missing checks and drafts except s5996.5 5S, which may be actual cash or negotiable paper
 It is argued by the officers that if Armitage had absconded he would never have returned the wallet. On the con- trary they have learned that on Tuesday night he collected check for the bank of the small amount of s3.50. This. it Is thought, he would hardly have done if lie intended to run away, as he would have been content with the banks money al- ready in his possession.

Autumn at AsheviIIe.

"The mountains of Western North Carolina are far more beautiful just now than at any other period of the year, Il said Birmingham man who returned from Asheville, yesterday
 ''The views from certain points in Ashe- vile are indescribably glorious. and look ing at the mountains one recalls the lines When the Mists Have Rolled Away when the mists have rolled in splendor from the glory of the hills and the sun shine warm and tender falls on the beau ty of the rills,' and so on.
 There is now almost unbroken sun shine in and around Asheville, and one can appreciate the gorgeousness of the glorious autumn tints upon the noun tains. It seems to me I never before ob- served such rich hues, and I certainly never saw the beauty of autumn in the mountains upon so vast scale.
 'sThe multitude of pleasure seekers who rave over Asheville in summer should visit Asheville in autumn-thiss autumn, at any rate; and they would see glory in nature beyond the utmost power of sum- mer to give"

Never a politician, but al- ways a leader, he would make good President, and The Age-Herald hopes his ardor for office will be maintained to the point of success.
 No matter what may have inspired him, he is in the race. If the witches of Kentucky have promised him the kingly office, besides Glamis and Caw- dor, well and good. It does not mat ter how 1t happens that MT. Watterson has become an aspirant for office. It is sufficient to know that he Is an aspirant, that he has a full right to be an aspirant, and that his State and country would both be benefited if he should attain to the full measure of his ambition.

improving the Iennessee River.

The Tennessee river Is largely a Tennessee stream. It flows in all sec tions of that State, and the improve ment of it is, properly speaking, a Tennessee enterprise. Excepting the Mississippi, which washes the States western boundary, there is no other river in the State so large or so prom ising. Tennessee should care for the Tennessee river, and yet neither of the States Senators was present at the recent convention held at Hunts vile, and only one of the Tennessee Congressman. To put upon Alabama the task of opening a Tennessee river would be manifestly unfair, and to charge against this State the cost of opening a river that loops into it merely would be downright injustice. It is Tennessee's duty to look after the Tennessee river.
 But this fact need not and should not prevent the Senators and Repre- sentatives of this State from doing all they can to open the great river of a sister State. The chief obstruc- tion to navigation in the river is at Colbert Shoals in this State, and all Alabama would be glad to see those shoals overcome and the river opened to navigation from the mountains of East Tennessee to the Ohio river. Kentucky and Tennessee, aided by Alabama, should be able to induce Congress to open the river, and The Age-Herald proposes to be a helper in this laudable undertaking.
 The Huntsville convention very properly asked for a large appropria tion to be applied at Colbert Shoals believing that policy of concentra ton would be better than appropria tions scattered over the great length of the river. The lukewarmness oi Tennesssee's Senators, Congressmen and Governor should not stand in the way of liberal appropriation for that purpose,

The Nicaragua Canal.

Senator Morgan, who is chairman of the Interoceanic Canal Committee and for many years the leading champion of a canal, is confident of final legislation this winter and will introduce a bill early in the session., England no longer dares to oppose the canal for fear of arousing the antagonism of the American people," said he. There are obstacles to over come-the oposition of the transconti- nental railroads, who have been in a combination with the French owners of the railroad across t--e Isthmus of Panama and with those representing the Panama Canal. But the overwhelming vote in the House last session was, in fact, a popular expression for the under taking. have already had favorable votes for 1t in the Senate after every possible means of obstruction had been exhausted It will be very easy this winter" added the Senator cheerfuly

Promotinq American Shippina.

The general subsidy plan in the pro motion of shipping has in no country been successful. It has been tried in both France and Italy, and in neither did it bring out any satisfactory pub lie results.
 The two countries that have the best record in promoting the merchant marine, England and Germany, have never tried general subsidy schemes, and probably never will. They took up the task in a business-like way, They first enabled their respective people to purchase ships wherever they could procure them on the best terms. and they proceeded to help by subvention any line they desired to be maintained. giving to each one what ever it's needs demanded.
 If this country would repeal it's ab- surd and antiquated navigation laws, there would soon be many ships sail ing under the American flag. The change would be very great and very quick. No doubt there would then be some lines that would need assist ance-a line, for example, to Hawaii and the Philippines. a line or two to South American ports, a line perhaps to South Africa, and so on until we had been placed in touch with every part of the world.
 This plan is the common sense of the case, but 1t is not plan that will piease heavy individual interests, and 1t is not a plan that is adapted to Hanna campaign funds. It is a plan. however, that would quickly give us merchant fleets, and 1t is peculiarly well adapted to the ports of the South Atlantic and Gulf States. It does not call for a subsidy bill at all. and no general bill of that nature should be adapted.

 Judge J. K. Cowen, general counsel Baltimore and Ohio, and former presi- dent: The pass system is abused. Tho interstate commerce commission called the railroads up to show their lists of passes and they gave their lists. As you know we issue these passes to pub lie men and various people, said to a judge: 'I am going to put your name at the head.' He said: You do so, and then tell the commission this court has decided that hauling a fellow for nothing Is not interstate commerce" The com mission has taken that view. I do not myself believe there Is anything in the interstate commerce act that prohibits giving a pass unless it is used as means of discrimination. In other words, giving it to shippers for the purpose of influencing traffic or something of that kind. It is a source of a great deal of trouble to know how to deal with it. have been told by leading railroad man in New York that the prohibition in the New York constitution of passes to New York State officers has led to an increase rather than a decrease of free transporta- ton, because the officer has his ring, if you choose to call it that, and instead of eontentng him with his own transporta- ton they were bound to furnish a lot to his henchmen.
 A. B. Stickney, president Chicago Great Western: Twenty-Five years ago I had charge of little bit of a road that was sort of a subordinate of larger road. I had occasion to visit the president of the superior road about something. and he said: MT. Stickney, see that the sheriff of this county has a pass over your road. should like to know on what principle you gave that sheriff a pass?'
 I replied that I did 1t on the principle that the sheriff was power, and was afraid to refuse him.

Mob Law in Georqia.

Governor Candler in advance of his message to the Legislature congratu- lates his people upon the remarkable decrease in mob violence in their State. In the last twelve months there have been nine cases in that State of assault of white women by negro men. In one case only a mob got possession of the criminal before he could be arrested by officers of the law, and the mob inflicted, says Governor Cand- Ter, "a cruel and barbarous punish ment." In five cases the perpetrators were legally tried, convicted and pun ished. In two cases the negroes ar- rested were acquitted, thus leaving three cases. in which neither the law nor mobs have been able to find the guilty persons
 This is good record. One example of mob law in an entire year, in a broad State, is certainly a vast i'm provement over conditions that ex- isted before Governor Candler became Governor. Governor Candler's policy against mobs consists in part in hast ening trials and in part in the use of troops. Like Governor O'Farrell oi Virginia, who put an end to lynching in that State, Governor Candler does not hesitate to dispatch troops to any place in which anarchy shows itself in threatening form. We cannot do bet. ter than to give Governor Candler's view concerning mob rule:
 Such conditions are deplorable-de- plorable that the brutish lust of the ne- gro drives him to inevitable destruction, and deplorable that white men. carried away by passion. will. in utter defiance of law, usurp the office of hangman and hurry the offender into eternity at the stake or the gallows. That the ravisher must suffer death is in Georgia a law inevitable as the decrees of fate. and our | judges are prompt in converting their l cOurtS to assure Speeuy anu ldir tflais It is therefore madness for a community to take the punishment of this crime out of the hands of the tribunals established by law to try and punish criminals. The only safety for society Is In punishing criminals. however atrocious, by the courts of law and not by the mob. Any other course brings reproach on our State. destroys our system of labor. low CTS the standard of public morals and gives those who mistake their hatred of the Southern white man for love for the Southern negro an excuse for arraigning us before the world us barbarians.'
 By pursuing steadfast. courageous and well-explained policy, Georgia's Governor has well-nigh overcome the lynching habit in his State, and what is thus shown to be possible and pref erable in Georgia can be rendered equally so in this State. Governor Jelks will certainly do his duty, and public sentiment should live up in sup

port of his effort to bring back law and order and to drive out passion and madness.
Prosperity In the Banks.

l
 The reports that are presented from time to time by the banks of the coun- try are an index of the country's re- markable prosperity. A country that exports goods to the value of s550 0,OOO,- 900 beyond its imports, as this coun- try will do in the present calendar year. Is necessarily prosperous, and this prosperity is plainly reflected in the banks. There are today twice as many banks carrying deposits exceed ing s5.000,O00 as there were four years ago when diversity was rank upon us. There are now 120 banks of this class. New York has B of them, but such banks can be found in all sections of the country-in the Rockies, at St. Paul as we'll as at New Orleans. One half of such banks are west of the blue ridge.
 The National City Bank in New York is the leader, It's deposits aggre- gating s166.OO0.OOO. against about $1O,- 000,00O ten years ago. The second place Is held by the National Bank of Commerce of New York, and the third place by the First National, which is also New York bank. Formerly Sec retary Gage's old bank, the First Ma tional of Chicago, held third place, but it has been forced back to fourth place. The Hanover and the Park Banks, both of New York, will prob ably soon overtop the Chicago bank, which will then be sixth on the list
 Five years ago there was no bank In the country that carried deposits amounting to s5O,o0O.OO0, and today there are eight that outrun that sum, and ten more have deposits exceeding s30,000,000. Nor are these old insti- tutions. From out of obscurity the Shawmut Dank of Boston began three years ago to attract depositors, and today it holds $40,000,0O0 of their money.
 We mention these facts in order to show the extent of the prosperity in the country. If it be maintained until 1906 1t is estimated in New York that there will be in the country over 200 banks carrying deposits in excess of s5,000,000. This growth and prosperity is confined to no one section of the country, although it Is more manifest in the Northern financial centers than it is in the agricultural districts of the South. Much of this increased capi- tai Is, however, gathered in the South and West to come in sight in the banks of the large Eastern cites.
