Sunday's Constitution contained a
very interesting write-up of the foot
ball team of the University of Georgia.
Every old Athens boy takes an inter,
est in his alma -mater’s success, and
reads with pleasure any favorable pre
diction concerning her football eleven.
The writer of the article states that
the team is light, but the outlook is
exceedingly bright. The great game
will be with Auburn in Atlanta on
Thanksgiving day. They would rather
win this game than all the others put
together. Many Romans saw Auburn
defeat Athens with apparent ease last
year, and this year tney —with some
exceptions, want to see Athens retrieve
herself.
The manager of the Athens team
this year is a Rome boy—WalterCoth
ran, and he gets the best notice of any
of the individuals. Here is what the
Constitution save of him:
‘ ‘lf every man on the Georgia team
played with the determination and
enthusiasm that Cothran exhibits the
success of the eleven would be assured.
Auburn would not only be easily de"
seated, but Virginia and North Caro
lina would be obliged to fight hard to
keep their laurels. Cothran is mana
ger of the team, aud he is certainly
one of the best in'the South. He not
only has the entire business responsi
bilities upon his shoulders, but he has
donned the canvas to set the individ
ual players an example and show them
how to win success.
“Cothran’s spirit is the same that
Thorne possessed when lie had the
captaincy of Yale's team last year.
Thorne was a whole team within him
self. His grit and determination to
win or die in the attempt for old Yale
set the pace for the other members of
the team. They did their best to keep
that pace, and the result was that
Yale held her supremacy If the Geor
gia boys will keep the football pace
that Cothran sets for them they need
have no fear of the outcome.”
Probably the next best hotice is of
another Rome boy—Von Gammon.
Gammon is in truth a boy, but a finer
physical or athletic specimen of youth
I have never seen. In the football
games here and the field days he was
observed of all, and I, in common with
all admirers of athletic sports, have
taken great delight in noting the work
of this handsome fellow. Here is what
the Constitution says of him:
“Gammon is promising youth. He
is but sixteen years old and a fresh
man, but he punts like a veteran. He
lacks confidence in himself and has
not had much experience. He did not
get into the play as often as he should
have done. When he gets over some
of his timidity he will probably make
a star player.”
With no bad luck I predict hfe will
be the leading Georgia player before
he graduates. He has every qualifica
tion now except age and experience,
and a couple of years will make him
invincible. Rome is proud of her two
representatives on the team, and cer
tainly has a good right to be.

COTTOS" MILLS FOR EAS IM AN.
New England Ma’jufacturen to Bring Their
Piaui*to ihc gout >.
Eastman, Oct. 12 —The party of
New England cotton mill men, who
were in Eastman several days last
week, have returned home, and while
there is nothing definite so far, it is
more than probable that within a few
months they will remove their large
cotton mills to this place.
Every evidence, in fact, points to
such a move.
A Crocodile One Hundred Feet Long.
It is a well known fact, even among
those who make no pretense of having
their heads stored with geological and
pokmtological lore, that the beasts and
reptiles which existed in the early ages
of the world were giants when com
pared with the very largest representa
tives of the same types which still sur
vive. This fact has recently been strik
ingly illustrated by a find made at
Poitiers, where excavations are being
made under the auspices of the Oriental
Academy of Science. At that place a
crocodile tooth was found which weighs
almost seven pounds. M. Gerard, the
professor iu charge of the working
corps, says that there is no doubt that
the tooth formerly belonged to a gigan
tic crocodile, and that there is no possi
bility whatever that he has confounded
the tooth with that of the megalvasau
rus, as some scientists have hinted.
M. Gerard says: “It is a typical croc
odile tooth and is probably the largest
specimen cf the kind ever seen by man.
In my estimation it is from the head of
a reptile not less than 100 feet in
length.”—St, Lords Republic.
AT A PISTOL’S POINT

SEEMS TO BE A CARNIVAL OF CRIME
Mu d-r, Assault |With Intent to Murdsr.
Arson and H''ghway Robbery are
Charged—Two Djys’ R c.rd.
The coroner’s jury believes the negro
found dead in the river Saturday was!
murdered.
It is believed the negro public school
building was set afire.
Dr. J. W. Madden was held up and
robbed Saturday night.
Murder, arson and highway robbery
—to say nothing of the negro shooting
Sunday night, told of in another column,
is a pretty fair criminal record—on the
wrong side.
The other crimes are told of in other
parts of the paper. Here is the way Dr.
Madden was robbed:
He left Todd’s, store about 9 o’clock
Saturday night and ft will be remem
bered that the electric lights were out.
He had just reached the Murphy place,
corner of Fourth avenue and East Third
street, when a negro, wearing a mask of
white cloth, stepped in front of him and
pointed a pistol at bis breast.
“Give me your money,” he de
manded.
Dr. Madden reached dowm into his
trousers pocket and pulled out 15 cents.
In his pocket book he had $lO or sl2,
but he didn’t hand that out.
“Is that all?” asked the officer.
“Every cent.” replied the doctor.
“Throw up your hands” was the
next demand, and as the doctor
glanced at the pistol point he felt that
his dollars were gone. But he hesi
tated and tried to edge around the
robber and drop his pocket book In
the dark.
“Up with your hands”, demanded
the negro again and he shoved the
pistol a little nearer.
Just then some one slammed a gate
nearby, and the negro doubtless
thinking whoever it might be was
coming that way, threw down or
dropped his mask and started off.
Dr. Madden went on home.

OUR CARPET COLUMN
Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
_
Smyrna Rugs at 50c. on the Dollar?
Eight years ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in the United States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wi’son bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
down to a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor coveting—we want every one to know it.
