The press of Georgia is ringing

The legislature is jagging along
and getting down to work in good
shape.
We have not seen a single Georgia
newspaper which has not condemned
football.
That is a magnificent shipping
record which Brunswick makes for
October.
Republican Boss Cox, of Cincinnati,

forever from the political ring.
The Birmingham Ledger says that
“the Georgia Legislature is getting
ready to punt the pigskin out o’ sight.”
Says yesterday’s Atlanta Constitu

edition is being complimented on all
sides.”
Capt. R. G. Clark says that our

Great Democratic Gains,
The election returns show great
democratic gains everywhere.
M It is a popular protest against repub
licanism, and against their failure to
do many things they have promised.
In New York the election of Judge
Van Wyckas first mayor Greater New
York was conceded, but by not so
great a plurality as he received. It
was a surprise to all. But the great
est victory of all was in the state elec
tion in which A B. Parker, democratic
candidate for chief justice of the
court of appeals who.. Was an ardent
supporter of Bryan.
Whenever the. figures are close in
Ohio it is a good sign of democratic
Victory, The republicans are fright
ened and claim the state by a very
small majority. Until the official
figures are given out the result will
not be known.
All down the line did the democratic
hosts carry the victory.
There were great democratic gains
in Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massa
chusetts, Maryland and other states.
The democratic gain in lowa is 47,000.
Detroit, Mich., elects a democratic
mayor. Kentucky is reclaimed and
gives a big democratic victory. •
These are some of the most impor
tant results, and as defeated Seth
Low remarked, “This year has been a
heavy democratic year everywhere.”
A grand national democratic victory
is foreshadowed from the results of
this election.
Mrs- Lowe's Address,
One of the most brilliant and com
prehensive addresses on the cause of
woman’s advancement and higher
education ever heard in the south
was that of Mrs. W. B. Lowe, presi
dent of the Georgia Federation of
Women’s clubs, delivered in Rome
yesterday.
All proclaim Mrs. Lowe to be one
of the ablest advocates of woman’s
clubs in the United States. One of
the secrets of her great success is that
in addition to her splendid intellec
tual gifts she is working for the prin
ciple of what she believes is right and
not for personal glory. She will
achieve still’greater glory in working
so indefatigably and unselfishly.
Her address was remarkable for Its
thoughtfulness and it cogent reason
ing, and the large and cultured au
dience demonstrated their apprecia
tion of it by frequent applause.
We are glad to have heard Mrs.
Lowe’s address and we are proud of
her as a Georgia woman.
Brutal Work Condemned,
Editor Stovall, of the Savannah
Press, one of the staunchest friends
and a graduate of the University of
Georgia, writes of football in Georgia
as follows:
The death of Von Gammon of Rome
is inexpressibly sad. Full of strength
and manly beauty,, a model of young
manhood, sturdy, ambitious, loyal,
and noble, he falls a victim to college
sport and in a twinkling has his life
crushed out upon the field. We should
like to say it was an accident. It
would be better to think that in the
rush and clash of a flying wedge he
had been caught and crushed by a
concentration of weight and strength
in the eagerness to get the ball. But
from the testimony of witnesses and
of those who heard the side talk on
the teams there seems to have been a
real conspiracy on the part of the
Virginia eleven to “put Gammon and
Tichenor out qf play’’ from the start.
No one supposes for a moment that
the visitors intended to take Gam-,
moo’s life. But there is a trick in
football, too often used and too diffi
cult to detect, to disable the star
player and thus get rid of the best
man in the opposition. Players are
not very squeamish as to how this is
done, and it often happens that play
ers are dangerously hurt through de
sign as much as through accident.
Every effort has been made to
avoid such play. The number of
referees has been increased so as to
give the umpire a better chance to
watch the players. Everything like
slugging and ruffianism has been con
demned, but no rules or referees can
avail when men are bent upon mis
chief. All sports are marred by mis
fortunes. Yachts turnover in the wa
ter and men are drowned; horses fall
at the hurdle and jockeys are crushed;
balls and bars put out eyes and lives
of many boys on the diamond, but
the very suspicion that this death of
young Gammon and the laming of
Tichenor resulted from concentrated,
ruffianly attack, is enough to ruin it
in the minds of conservative people.
The Press condemns this brutal
work. We believe that if the figures
are made up it will be found that as
many men are killed by basebtfll and
other sports, in proportion to the
THE HOME TBIBUNB. THUSBDAY, NOVEMBEB 4, 1897.
players, as on the gridiron. We be
lieve, for that matter, that where one
man is maimed 100 are made, physi
cally, by football. But this heart
rending tragedy has doomed the play
in Georgia. The university will dis
band its.team and fence in its grounds
and football playing may be made a
misdemeanor in Georgia. We believe
such measures would be extreme, but
people are apt to become extreme in
the light of these accidents.

THE TRIBUNE'S BIG ISSUE,
(Birmiugham News)
The Rome Tribune, issued a forty
page souvenir anl trade edition yester
day, which is a credit to southern jour
nalism. The paper ,is handsomely
illustrated and is a veritable encyclo
pedia of information concerning Rome
and the surrounding country,
Marvelously Neat.
(Augnsta Chronicle)
The Rome Tribune got out another
trade edition Sunday of 40 pages, which
reflects credit on the able management
of Editor Knowles and his co-workers.
It presents in pleasing style the indus
tries and business establishments of
Rome, and is profusely illustrated. The
typographical and press work is mar
velously neat, and, altogether, it is in
keeping with the Tribune’s past work,

(Savannah News)
The souvenir and trade edition of
The Rome Trbune forty pages, was
issued Sunday. Its inspection will have
to proceed on the installment plan, but
so far it is a most attractive publication.
A South Carolina View,
(Columbia, S. C., Register)
Last week in a game between the uni
versities of and Georgia one
of the players of the latter team was
knocked into unconsciouness, frpm
which he never recovered. He died
Sunday, and now there is much preju
dice against the sport in Georgia, which
under the circumstances, is quite,
natural. The faculty of the university
has prohibited the team from playing
any more this season or in the future.
It would net be surprising if many
more colleges followed this example, and
that in time the game will be given
over to professionals, as baseball is now.
In Other Southern States.
(Birmingham Age-Herald)
The* death of one 'foot ball player in
Atlanta was sed; but if there bad been
more than one it might have greater ef
fect on public opinion, which would
cause an open rebellion at the brutality
of those who play the game. There
was a time when foot ball playing was
the sport of gentlemen, but it has be
come the occupation of a lot of brutes.
The Heroine,
Her raiment changes with the fleeting fash
ions
Os years that pass, but she abides in sooth
Unchanged, the star and shrine of human
passions,
Ofc wise and o’d,or sweet in flower-like youth.
Naomi she. the veiled and bent with sorrows,
Or clear-eyed Ruth, or Dido famed and fair,
Helen the beautiful, of dim tc-morrows
Or sad Elaine, slain, by her love’s despair.
She trails he.r soundless garments down the
ages,
A vision and a dream, or rustling steals
Past trembling areas In those haunted pages
Where man forever fightsand woman kneels.
Our modern books and pictures often show her
Serene and college-bred and trimly gowned,
But able yet to make for all who know her
This queer old world one vast enchanted
ground.
To bind and loose, this still remains her mis
sion,
To loose and bind—whatever be her name,
Her date, from Honor down, or her condition.
The heroine herself abides the same.

Longstreet's Appointment,
(Augusta Herald)
The appointment‘long deferred has
come at last and General James Long
street, distinguished on the fields of
Gettysburg and Hymen, succeeds Gen
eral Wade Hampton as commissioner of
railroads..
The old veteran will leave his cottage
among the hills of Hall and begin the
touring of the oontineut incident to his
new duties, cheered and comforted in
his wanderings by the bride of a few
weeks ago.
The people of this community are
warmly attached to General Hampton.
It is not an invidious choice, for in
peace and in war they have been thrown
with him often. While thinking no
less of Longstrreet, they would have
been glad to see the old Carolinian now,
nearing the evening of life, retain the
position he has held for more than four
years.
But General Longstreet is entitled to
the spoils of war which the republicans
have at their disposal. He has been
identified with them for many years. He,
too wears upon his brow the “blossom
of the grave.” It was but natural that
he should be cared for by his party,
though the indications were at one time
that this would not be done.
And after all, he is a Georgian and
an ex-confederate. This should be
enough to secure for him the respect
and esteem of all and his old comrades
and friends rejoice at bis good fortune.
The Savannah Press publishes a
picture of Vonalbade Gammon in bis
training clothes. It is reproduced
from a photograph in the possession
of Mr. C. S. Connerat, jr., and is the
best likeness which-has appeared in
any Georgia paper.
