. THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The proclamation of Governor Jelks fixes Thursday. November 8. as the day when the new Constitution. which has just been ratified. shall go into effect and be binding upon the people of the State. All portions of the new instrument which are self-executing arc effective on and after that date and those requiring legis- lative action will receive prompt consid- eration when the next Legislature meets. There are not enough features of the latter kind to warrant the calling of an extra session of the Legislature.
 The day on which the new Constitution becomes effective is singularly appropri- ate. It had already been designated by the Governor as the day of Thanksgiving for the manifold blessings which are en- joyed by the people. and the long list will have another great feature added to 1t. For many years the changes which will be wrought by the Constitution have been earnestly desired by the people. be- heving as they do that they will result in benefit to all classes of our popuia- tion. It is indeed a cause for thankssfv- ing.

APPLE GROWING FOR PROFIT

In certain portions of Virginia, notably l in the counties of Bedford, Roanoke and l Albemarle, the farmers arc just begin ming to realize that there is money in apples and are turning their attention largely to growing and marketing them. According to a statement in recent ts- sue of The Richmond Times not less than g, 900 barrels have been shipped from Winchester alone during the present sea- son ,and from various other points the shipments have amounted to hundreds of thousands of barrels. Prices vary large ly of course, as is the case with all other products of the farm. as much as four dollars per barrel having been realized in some instances, where the fruit was very fine. Tn other cases the farmers sold the crops on the trees, the purchasers gather ing and marketing them and paying from S1 to $25o per barrel.
 The success which has followed these experiments has had the natural effect of stimulating the growers to greater ef- forts. and to more care in the selection and management of the trees, as we'll as to the study of scientific methods for im- proving the stock. and also to more in- tenigent care in handling the fruit. As
 in every other occupation, extra care has resulted in better fruit. larger crops and better prices and apple-growing bids fair to become one of the most important and
 profitable industries in all the mountain region of Virginia.
 We have been interested in the ac- counts given in The Times because we see
 no reason why portions of Alabama may not become competitors in this business and a sharer In it's profits. There are
 large areas of country in the counties of
 Cullman,I Blount, Winston, Walker. and,
 in fact. a great portion of Northern Ala bama, where the topography and climate resemble those of the Virginia mountains
 where growing apples has passed the experimental stage. Those portions of our State we should imagine. offer tho
 same inducements to intelligent fruit
 growers that Virginia does, and We can | see no reason why apples should not be 1 raised as profitably there as anywhere
 else To make 1t profitable it would have to be made business, and those who en-

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
What Was Done In one Beat
 In Geneva.

Dothan Home Journal.
 We are inclined to claim the State banner for Beat of Geneva County in the vote to ratify the new constitution. pr. J. W. Stokes and Senator G. w. Brooks are entitled to the honor of teach ing the people the right way and per suading them to walk therein. MT. Brooks had not been in favor of the new constitution, but when the vote for con- vention had been cast he said he would go with his people. His work shows that he kept his promise. He and Dr. Stokes rolled up their sleeves and went to work, and the vote of their beat. which includes Dundee and Slocomb, shows the result. It gave 114 votes for the consti- tuition and eight against The voters at Slocomb had marched to Dundee. the voting place, with Dr. Stokes at the head. When the result was known the procession was formed at Dundee and marched to Slocomb. Dr. Stokes was a drummer in the Confederate army, and with drum he led the procession with MT. Brooks by his side. The Doctor beat. not only ordinary marching time, but also the long roll. the charge. and everything else he could think of except the retreat. They say he beat the funeral march for the benefit of the antis. It was a great day for Beat B. Geneva County. Senator Brooks and Doctor Stokes take the blue ribbon.

St. Louis Globe.Democrat.
 In common with the other largest cen- tres of population the people of St. Louis are giving increased attention to the subject of the, city beautiful" The movement is extending to all progr sSii Ie American cities. A pamphlet has yIst hcen published in Springefild Mass con- taining sixteen articles on th' ttst methods of adding to the attractivcness of that already handsome and pictur ,s que town of 65.00O inhabitants or the banks of the Connecticut. It is agreed on the discussion embraced in this pam phelt that there shoull be harm lious cooperation by all citizens; abatement of smoke. pollution of streams, careless disposal of refuse. strosr sign abuses. overhead wires and street noises; maxi mum attention to parks; riverside parks; more small parks in crowded dlst'ic's; ; playgrounds for oid and young; rMtlic baths; approval scuI 0'u (; the best hrchi lecture; general art culture, general art culture, beginning n tho public schools, and higher grade of public entertainment As a starting point riti1cns' league is proposed to take charge of civic improve ments.

General Shelley must have been recent Iy reading the nursery story of the spider and the fly. He has sent out letters to his proposed conference on the 18th in- viting attendance of all who opposed the ratification of the Constitution. or who opposed the methods resulting in its rati. fication or who favor honest elections
 Of course If all who favor the latter prop osition should attend he would have prac- tically all the voters of the State. He is. however, not likely to catch anybody with that kind of bait because every sensible man knows that the object of the meet ing is to organize against the new Con- stitution and to seek to obtain control of the State through such an organization.

TEXTILE WORKERS.
Resolutions on Subjects of National
 Interest Passed

Washington, Nov. H.-At the session of the United Textile Workers of America today the convention completed the new agreement by which the different orders of textile workers which have been uni ted are to be governed hereafter. Fol lowing officers were elected: James Tan sey, Fall River, Mass. President; 8: F. Thompson, Columbia, S. C., First Vice. President M. J. Connor, Thompsonville. Conn. Second Vice-President. and Albert Hilbert, Dover. N. H., Secretary.
 A number of resolutions on subjects of national interest were adopted including the following: Conforming the ship sub sidy bill "as the worst form of class leg islation, in that it proposes to tax ali the people for the benefit of syndicate in terests whose overfiowing coffers show that they are abundantly able to take care of themselves; that we stand by the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none and oppose all forms of subsidies and gratuities to private in- terests;' asking that Congress strength en and re-enact the Chinese exclusion law, including in its provisions all Mon golian labor. and urging the passage by Congress of law forbidding the 'mma- grafton into this country of persons fif- teen years of age and upward who can- not read the English language or some other language.

A Kansas woman writing from San Rafael Cal. expresses her surprise at certain things she sees, and her remarks show that she isn't well posted on the liquor question. She says there is one street in that city where there are twen- ty-three saloons in the space of two blocks. She adds that everybody. men, women and children. drink. in season and out of season, but. she concludes, there seem to be many more eases of plain trunks than in some places in Kansas. :" That last sentence shows her want of in- formation about the drinking habit. Kan- sas is a prohibition State. and wherever men have to get their drinks on the sly they take more than they would if they could buy 1t openly and legally. The fact that a man must get his drinks by stealth is an inducement to take too much, and most of them do 1t.

Much apprehension Is felt throughout the nation that John Wesley Gaines will be so long detained in Japan that Con- gress will have to open without him. Chattanooga Times.
 What does this mean? We have surely read the statement. perhaps in The Mem- phis Appeal, that favoring winds and kindly waves had borne John Wesley in safety to our shores and that the process sion was ready to proceed at any mo- ment that he would give word. Now we are informed that he is still in far away Japan. and so we view 1t Congress may have to take an informal recess while the ponderous-brained statesman oi Tennessee finishes his missionary tour among the slant-eyed inhabitants of the Orient. It's really embarrassing.

It would require very much more than thirty pages of any or dinary newspaper to say all. that can be truthfully said about Columbus. with it's unrivalled water power. its go-ahead cit izens and the many and varied advanJ tages the city possesses, but The Enqur- er-sun told great deal of it.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER a2, 1901.
RESPECT FOR THE COURTS.

The Advertiser is in receipt of the fol- lowing letter which. though somewnas delayed, has lost nothing of its interest. Mr Crosby writes from Brookline. Mass, and says:
 Editor The Advertiser.
 have read with interest your edito- rial Respect for Courts and Judges In A6xprtiseres issue of October N trust you will continue to sgltate this subject until the people will ask for the needed refcrmr or the Judg.s will feel Justified in making such rule as will tend to op- tain the desired result.
 While visiting here have heard com ments not fattering to the manner in which courts in some of the Southern localities are conducted, and l was irF- pressed myself with the differences which l observed while in attendance in a Mas sachusetts court of same jurisdiction as our City or Circuit Court. The case on trial was a noted civil suit in which in- terest was taken by the public. and yet no one was permitted in the court room unless a seat was obtainable. No one Is allowed to remain standing except the witness on the stand and the tattorney examining same and with these two 1t is compulsory that they stand. Every one present is obliged to stand when the Judge enters the room and remain SO till he is seated. When time to adjourn court comes all present must rise and remain silent while the proper officer makes the adjournment announcement.
 This procedure gave a solemnity and respect for the law which 1t seems to me might be wisely followed in our courts
 Yours truly,
 FredCrosby.
 The Advertiser would be the last to ad- wise anything like slavish humbling of oneself in the presence of the courts of Alabama. but does insist that. due and proper respect should be paid to the men and the organizations which represent the majesty of the law. When we enter church we observe a degree of deco rum and reverence which we do not find 1t necessary to practice elsewhere. and 1t is not because the material building is sacred or that the minister is a superior being, but because the church and the minister represent the power and sacred majesty of God. and that when we enter a house of worship We should show by our attitude and conduct that we revere and respect that which Is represented by the church.
 Something of the same feeling should obtain in our courts If law is the per lection of reason" as Sir Edward Coke declared, then it is incumbent on all men to respect the law and those who exc cute it. and the place where 1t is ex- pounded and put into practice and effect. Judges are human but they are repre- sentatives of system without which so- ciety would be a failure and human life and property would no longer be safe. There Is no man SO high or powerful that he would lower himself by respectful be- havior in the court room and we are per suaded that a more strict observance of soome of the old English and colonial customs would do much to educate the people to a knowledge of the fact that the laws and the courts are the great conservators of American liberty and hu- man rights.

On the 18th of November, 1901, the first issue of The New York Evening Post made its appearance. From that day to this it has grown in excellence and in- fiuence and Is now not only creditable to American journalism, but good example for the newspapers of the world. On the l6th inst The Post issued an anniversary edition. which is intensely interesting, showing as 1t does not only the progress of a great paper. but the growth as well of the great metropolis in which it is published. The paper has always been in able hands. but was never better con- ducted than it is today. Tn one of the historic articles in this anniversary edi- ton 1t is said:
 The New York of 1901. when the first copy of The Evening Post went to press, was a city of 60, 900 inhabitants. town Of far less population and life than are to be found today in New Haven. Conn.,, or Wilmington. Del, or Atlanta, Ga. It's sidewalks were narrow, many of the streets unpaved, most of the houses were of wood Che first brick house in Brooklyn is said to date from 1s2a). the streets were lighted on dark nights with whale oil lamps, and disastrous fires were of con- stant occurrence. There was but one the- atre. and that so poorly patronized that the manager was always on the brink of bankruptcy.
 One who goes to the New York of to- day with its 5000, 900 of people and streets as bright at midnight as noon, can scarce ly realize the possibility of such won- derful change.
 Referring still further to the old city. 1t says:
 Broadway was then, as now, the back bone or ridge of the island. It was fast growing in favor as the most agreeable part of the city, and the buildings upon 1t extended from the Bowling Green as far as St. Paul's Church. From the rear of the houses on Broadway gardens were laid out on the slope which ended on a sandy beach. and the street commanded a delightful prospect of the town and the Hudson. Cortlandt Street was the prin- cipad street cut through the green em- bankment, and at its foot were the Bear tnow WashinRton) market and the ferry at Powles Hook. now Jersey City.
 On the corner of Vesey Street a sign- board bore the inscription, Road to AL bany." and on the opposite corner. on the house where the St. Paul building now stands, a similar sign pointed out to the traveller the Road to Boston" The ferry to Brooklyn was at the foot of Maiden Lane. The city virtually ended at Cham bers Street. The Bowery was still coun- try lane. a=l
 The anniversary edition contains inter- esting sketches of the paper and all who have been connected with 1t. which in- cludes some of the ablest men of our country, notably Alexander Hamilton and William Cullen Bryant.

Fools With Loaded Weapous.

Philadelphia North American.
 In the hands of men like Alger and Maclay the pen is more dangerous than an overloaded blunderbuss, more uncer- tain in its aim than boomerang thrown by an intoxicated sailor. General Alger might be advised to stick to the sword and "Laborer" Maclay to return to the shovel for fame and livelihood, but Gen. eral Alger has shown himself even more inept with the sword than with the pen and there is no reason to believe that Maclay is a good shoveler.
