'TV 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 Dr. J. W, Madden Was Held Up and Rbbd 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.
