CADSDEN.
Cotton Being Received From Greatly
 Increased Territory.

Gadsden November 4. - Especially When the cotton season opened this fall, the river rates on cotton to Gadsden were fixed at 16 cents per bale. This, with the big price our cotton buyers were paying for cotton, and the low prices of goods made farmers bring their cotton to this market, and some who were never known to bring cotton to Gadsden have brought 1t here this fall. Cotton was brought to this city from within four miles of Rome, and even out of the ware houses at Anniston
 This caused the Rome merchants and cotton buyers to make a protest They could not keep up the pace set by the merchants and cotton buyers here, so they got the rate on the river raised to s5 cents per bale. Gadsden, by hard work, got the rate lowered to 26 cents per bale.

LETTERS FROM
 THE PEOPLE.
Points on the New Constitution

EOHibo VII ttlC tNSW 0StohihdAaCiis To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 That Is a wise provision of the new constitution which requires that person before he becomes a voter must have been a resident of Alabama for two years, of the county one year and of the pre- cinct three months. This does away with the repeater" acclimates politically the new conner and gives him time to learn the needs of the State and the communi- ty. And best of all, he must have paid poll taxes due from him for 1901 and all subsequent years.
 The adoption of the new constitution means the saving of hundreds of thous- ands of dollars to the tax payers of Ala bama. The State now has a bonded in- debtedness of ss.OOO.oO0. bearing high rate of interest. Under the present con- stitution the State has no right to refund this debt, but under the new constitution this can be done and there Is a wide open, willing market that will gladly ac- cept refunding securities at about 2 per cent. less interest than Is now paid. This
 
 tax payers of Alabama.
 The new constitution does not permit municipal authorities to make assess ments for street Improvements unless such improvement actually enhances the value of the property to the extent of such costs Thus the power of a few is limited to the necessity of the case; and this is much needed safeguard.
 Under the new constitution of Alabama ring rule will be abolished, and stepping stone business comes off. Genuine merit is to be the test, and men most worthy of office are to be given prefer ence. Rotation Is the watchword. All executive officers are to be elected for four years. and no one shall be eligible as his own successor. This is the old Democratic way of passing around the bottle" The Governor is not to be eligi- ble to election or appointment to any office or to the Senate of the United States during his term, and within one year after the expiration thereof. In other words. the new constitution guar antees to the people the right to chose their own public servants and wrests the ownership of places of honor and emolu- ment from the hands of a few. Thus the Governor and all other executive officers will be in position to perform duty with out bias, hope of reward by succession or fear of disgruntled politicians. Verify, the new constitution is framed for the people.
 While members of the Legislature and Judicial officers may not be unduly in- fiuenced by the possession of free railroad passes, some people have been known to express the belief that it may be so in some instances. In order to avoid doubt in the future upon this subject the new constitution seeks to purify and prohibits the use of free passes by such officers un- der heavy penalty.
