’Varsity Team Wants A d.
Mr. Walter S. Cothran arrived in
the city last night from Athens, for
the purpose of soliciting subscriptions
from the alumni of the state univer
sity in order to build an athletic field
on the campus. The present field is
utterly inadequate to the demand of
the growing college, and the boys need
more room. At . present there is no
baseball field on the campus, and it is
with some degree of hesitancy that
other college teams are invited to play
at Athens,
The past season of successes achiev
ed by the university football eleven
has prompted the boys to this move
ment, and, while endeavoring to help
themselves, they are forced to call on
the alumni for the purpose.
It is proposed to raise $1,500 from
alumni over the state. This amount
will enable the boys to construct on
the campus a field which will serve for
football, baseball and track athletics,
to enclose the field and to erect grand
stands and bleachers.
In the past four years the university
has risen from insignificance in the
world of Southern athletics to a posi
tion in the front rank of Southern
colleges. The students have made
this np-bill fight unaided, and have
gone as far as their present equipment
and accommodations will allow.
Two or three students have been
sent out over the state by the univer
sity, and are meeting with much sue-'
cess from Qhe large numbers of its
alumni.

Coosa, Dec. 4.—Miss Mildred Mor
ton went down to Athens some days
ago, to attend the Davis-Crane wed
ding and came back to Rome in time

A MOUNTAIN OF A MOLE HILL
The Wild and Wooly Story of the Atlanta
Journal Denied.
Chief of Police Pink Shropshire
called at The Tribune office yesterday
to say the sensational story in Thurs.
day’s Atlanta Journal was greatly
overdrawn.
He wants The Tribune to correct the
impression that the “hold-up gang”
have got the town with a down hill
pull as the stories afloat are likely to
give it.
Chief Shropshire says no one has
interviewed him or any memberof the
police force about the Miller hold up
nor has the police force been doubled
or even a single addition made to it
on account ofthe alleged depredations.
Nor is there any necessity for such,
Chief Shropshire wants emphasis
given these denials and says too much
stress can not be laid upon them, as
the Journal story is likely to give a
wrong impression.
It is well to note in this connection
that a great deal of “written rot*
going out from Rome not only to the
Journal and other Southern papers,
but abroad that is calculated to make
Rome as notorious as Leadville was at
one time. This indiscriminate cor
respondence should be suppressed-
The Bakersville min will locate in
Rome at the way these tempting and
imaginary misdoings go on.

Thtity of Veuison Seized.
St. Paul, Dec. 4. —The state game
warden has seized and • declared confis
cated to the state of Minnesota 30 tons of
venison, claiming it was being illegally
shipped to persons in Boston, New York
and Chicago. The lines for the al eged
illegal transactions of the game will
reach somewhere in the neighborhood
of 5540.000 to $50,010. Venison is now
selling at IS cents a pound and it will
be an easy matter for the state to dis
pose of the 60.000 pounds confiscated for
SIO,BOO. This is said to be the largest
seizure ever made at one time in the
United States.
The City of Columbia Ic -bnund.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 4 —The city of

companies in this city alone will aggre
gate $20,000.
