* YOrGiMION’S DEATH THE SUBJECT
What the UniveMty of Georgia Paper
“Red and Black” Says About the
Death of the Young Boman.
The Rome chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy passed the following
resolutions on the death of Von Gam
mon:
Whereas, we the “Daughters of the
Confederacy” believing in God the
Father Almighty’’ and trusting in Hie
infinite lore, that includes all loves, have
been smitten, and afflicted in the sor
row of our beloved president over the
sudden death of her noble son, Vonal
bade Gammon;
And, whereas we rejoice with her in
the life and character of her son that
enabled him to inspire us all with a love
that is stronger than death;
’’’Tknd, whereas by his conduct and life
he manifested a character worthy of
affection and emulation, and died in an
effort to maintain the honor of his state
through his university, therefore be it
resolved.
First, that the “Daughters of the Con
federacy” do sincerely , mourn the death
of our young friend. .
Second, that in his death £is family
has lost a beloved son and brother, this
community a most promising citizen,
and we a loving yieud.
Third, that we w extend to our presi
dent and her lov« ones our tenderest
sympathies in ttimr time of grief.
Fourth, And be it further resolved
: that these resolutions be spread upon
our minutes, and a copy of the same be

Committee.
FKmthe “Red and Black."
The Red Black, published by the
the Athletic Association of the Univer.
sity of Georgia says:
A cloud of sorrow hangs over the stu
dents of the University as black as any
which has ever destroyed the happiness
of man. Many reasons could be assigned
for this, as the university is passing
through a trying stage and her destiny
this moment rests with the legislature
in session. But it is not the prospect of
the university’s destruction that now
bows down our hearts; it is more than
that. It is the death of one of our col
lege mates, who lost his life in the game
of Saturday with the U uiversity of Vir
ginia. Never has the death of one per- (
son struck deeper grief into the hearts ,
who knew him than has the tragic
end of Von Gammon, who gave up his
brave young life in defending the honor J
of the university which now mourns
his death.
It is not surprising that all who knew
him in life loved him; admired, with a
passionate devotion, the qualities that
portrayed themselves in every act of his
short life. Von Gammon had all the
elements of a true hero; he was a boy to be
admired, a boy to be respected, and pre
eminently a boy to be loved. It was so
in the whole course of his life; from the
days when he was the idol of his com
panions, to the fatal moment when he
threw himself into the chasm to stop

same methods will
not cure her if she
be already sick.
Taken under medical direction, in con
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect a cure. No women who
suffers at all from so-called ” female weak
ness ’ ’ should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first put herself into
possession of strong and hearty health by
taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly well, exercise and
diversion will help to keep her well. The
cure should come first. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription is designed and rec
ommended for only the one thing. It
acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. It will' not cure anything
else. It is a wholesonie tonic, an invig
orating nervine, or nerve-food as well as
a healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well wonrewfiave found that by
taking it regularly during the p’eriod of
pregnancy, t e danger and pain of par

Von Gammon was a born athlete. He
was almost a perfect man physically,
and he had not a vice to weaken the
splendid body which God had given
him, and which was truly the sound
home of a sound mind. From his earli
est youth he took an active interest in
athletics, and from the time when he
left his nurse’s protecting care he dis
tinguished himself from his fellows by
his superior strength and agility. In
consequence, he was soon made the ob
ject of that hero-worship which boys
always pay to their leaders; and from
this time to the day of his death Von
Gammon stood, to a certain degree,
alone. None could approach him in the
pursuits of which he was so fond. He
was easily the best wrestler, bicyclist
and foot-ball player of his native city—
Rome. Before he entered college his life
was a quick succession of triumphs. His
fellow-townsmen were proud of him, he
was always pointed to with pride by
those boasting of their native city; and
whenever he appeared on the street he
was sure to be followed by a crowd of
boys, who, at a respectful distance,
would watch his every movement, and,
true to boyish nature, imitate his walk
and his every characteristic. “To be as
good an athlete as Von Gammon,” was
the Ultima Thule of the class-mate of
Von Gammon.
It was not alone as an athlete that
Von Gammon was our hero. His traits
of character would have made him no
lees of a hero to those who knew him if
he had had the body of a dwarf. He had
not an enemy in college and he was
idolized at home. His was the sweetest
disposition that it is possible to meet.
He had not a petty vice. Selfishness,
spite, jealousy, were foreign to his na
ture. A sunny, cheery disposition, with
a frank open countenance nearly always
lit up with a smile—it is thus that we
will remember Von Gammon. Even in
death his face wore a calm expression
as though it were the last foot-print of
a fearless, righteous soul that has gone
before its maker.

Costly Pipes.
Among the pipes-shown at a jewelry
owablishment was one of meerschaum,
with au amber mouthpiece, the bowl
being crowned with a gold mounting
that covered the rim around the top and
extended down the sides to the depth of
perhaps a quarter of an inch below the
edge. On top the mounting was flat and
smooth; below the edge, on the sides,
it was etched. The price of this pipe
was sllO. The owner of a pipe with a
gold rim around the top might smoke
it, or it might be that he would let it
lie on his table.
Jeweled pipes are not an article of
common sale, but they are not so un
common as to be remarkable. Such
pipes are usually mounted to order, and
they are probably always bought for
gifts. They are variously mounted,
sometimes with a band of diamonds and
rubies around the bowl at the top, some
times diamonds are set around the stem
where the mouthpiece joins it. A jew
eled pipe may cost $250
Silver mounted meerschaum pipes at
SSO are articles of regular sale There
are pipes of this sort at prices ranging
from S2O to $75 These are not carved
pipes, but usually perfectly plain They
are of the finest materials and work
manship and of fine designs
There are perfectly simple little biier
pipes with a plain silver mounting and
amber mouthpiece that sell at sls. but
the brier is the very choicest and hand
somest, the amber mouthpiece of the
finest quality and joined to the pipe by
a lock steiii, and all the workmanship
on the pipe is of the best They are the
very finest of brier pipes—New York

ACMr a Short tvlal.
Dbcatur. Ala., Nov. la.—After atrial
lasting only one day, the jury in the
Jesse Sugars murder case brought in a
verdict of guilty, and fixed the penalty
at d**ath.
Sugars last spring murdered Jackson
Orr, a fireman on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. It was a most cold
blooded murder. Orr had just come in
off the road and gone to his house and
knocked for admittance. Not being
admitted by his wife he went to the
rear of the house and started to get iu
at the window. There he tyas met by
Sugars, who fired at him point blank.
Orr was shot dead. Sugars jumped out
of the window over Orr’s dead body,
ran home and told his sister he had
killed Jackson Orr “as dead as hell.”
It was never proved that Sugars was
in the house by invitation of Orr’s wife.
Sne testified that Sugars forced himself
in the house, and locked and barred the
doors and refused to leave, although
ordered to do so repeatedly.
SITUATION VERY SERIOUS.
Conservatives In Colombia Are Reported
to Be Con-pi ring*.
New York, Nov. 12.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Panama says: The
political situation iu Colombia is criti
cal. Fears are expressed iu official cir
cles that the Conservatives are conspir
ing against the government and these
expressions have aroused general un
easiness.
A message just received from Bogota
states that Vice President Vicaro has
had a conference with the leaders of
the Conservative and Liberal parties.
The vice president declared that in his
opinion the only practical solution of
the problem was to respect every citi-
Een’s vote in the coming election.
The Conservatives are alarmed at this
stand, which, if adopted, will inevitably
bring the Liberal party legally to
power. It. is the disposition of the Con
servatives to openiy declare against tue
government and plotting is feared.
