ATKINSONSOON TO ACT
Believed That He Will Veto the
Antifootball Bill.
NOW PREPARING A SPECIAL NOTE
Governor Receives a Letter From Mrs.
Von Gem mon, Mothef of th« Young
Man Killed In the Virgin la-Geo ret it <'<*s«•
test. Asking Him to *ave Her Cher
ts tied Game—Arguments Advanced.
Atlanta, Deo. 7.—Governor Atkin
son, it is stated on good authority, will
veto the famous antifootball bill. He
is said to be preparing a statement to be
sent to the Georgia legislature explain
ing why he has decided to withhold hit
approval.
The fact that the measure passed the
legislature with only a few dissenting
votes makes its future somewhat prob
lematic. but it seems safe to predict
that Governor Atkinson’s veto will be
sustained.
The bill was passed soon after the
killing of young Von Gammon of the
University of Georgia team on the local
gridiron last month, and the legislators
felt that they were avenging his death
by so promptly making future acci
dents of a similar nature impossible.
But it turns out that Von Gammon
came from a Spartan family and that
neither his relatives nor friends are
seeking that sort of vengeance.
It is the dead man’s own mother whe
has induced the i overnor to veto the
bill Mrs. Gammon in her petition
says that football was her son’s favorite
game, and that if he could be consulted
he would join in the request of his fel
low students for the veto of the bill.
In her letter this heroic mother calls
the governor’s attention to the fact
that two of her son’s schoolmates, Will
Reynolds and Arthur Goetchius, have
recently met accidental deaths, one by
tailing over a precipice and one by fall
ing down stairs. She asks if it is not
equally sensible for the legislature to
abolish precipices and stairways on ac
count of these deaths as it is to abolish
football because of the death of her son.
Letters trom all parts of the country
have poured in upon the governor and
the state has also been thoroughly
aroused. It has been argued that ii
football is prohibited at the Georgia
university and the other colleges of the
state these institutions will be unable to
compete with the big schools of the
north where footpall is played.
One of the most forcible arguments
for the veto is contained in the follow
ing paragraph from Mrs. * Gam
mon’s letter to the governor.
“You are confronted with the propo
sition whether the game is of such a
character as should be prohibited by
law in the interests of society. In an
swer, unquestionably it is not. In the
first place, the conditions necessary to
its highest development are total ab
stinence from intoxicating and stimu
lating drinks —alcoholic or otherwise—
as well as rom cigarettes and tobacco
in any form; strict regard for proper
and healthiest diet and for all the laws
of health; persistent regularity in the
hours of going to bed and absolute
purity of life.”

\ An Embeuler Arrested.
Boston, Dec. 7.—John J. Gartland,
Jr., 26 years of age, state representa
tive-elect from the Ninth district and

•’0 woman ! lovely woman ! nature made
thee to temper man ; we had been brutes
without you.” Woman more than merits
all the good things that have been said of
her by the wits and poets of all times.
When man lauds woman and her charms
and virtues, he has in his mind’s eye an
ideal. That ideal is always a healthy wo
man. No man makes pretty speeches and
witty toasts about woman, with the picture
in his mind of a weak, sickly, nervous wo
man, tortured by pain, and suffering: from
depression and despondency. It is in the
Sower of every woman to be some man’s
leal if she will but build up and guard
her womanly health.
The best of known remedies for all forms
of disease peculiar to women is Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It works directly on
but one set of organs in a woman’s body.
It allays and eradicates pain. It soothes in.
flammation. It invigorates and purifies. It
restores complete health to the organs dis
tinctly feminine and banishes weakness,
depression and despondency. It is the dis
covery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalid’s Hotel and Surgi
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. V. If you wish to
know more about it write to him.
“ This is to tell you,’’ writes Sister Eliza t,. de
Falcon, of Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Texas,
“that I had been ill for twenty-one years and
was finally cured by your medicines, the ‘ Golden
Medical Discovery’ and ’FavoritePrescription.’ ’j
It is as easy to be well as ill and much
more comfortable. Constipation is the
cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They
are tiny, sugar-coated granules. One lit
tle “ Pellet ” is a gentle laxative, two a mild

A Woman’s Knowledge Saves Mrs. Ebbert From aa Operation.
V? Jfil A woman undarstands women as a man never can hope
*°- For this reason Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn,
\ Mass., now known all over the English-speaking world,
set work to help her sex.
livY' After long and patient investigation, Mrs. Pinkham
TEBK I Vj confirmed her own conclusions, namely: that seven-
■HUt I1 \ eighths of the sufferings of women are due to dis-
W / I orders of the uterine system. Reasoning on this line,
f / I I ywHEs she saw that the only preventive of early breaking
I / 1 1\ \ ” down, was a specific medicine which would act
I / I I v alone on the female organism.
This was why she prepared her excellent Vegetable Compound, which
has been such a boon to thousands and thousands of women. If you have
headaches chiefly at the top of the head, and are troubled by painful menstrua
tion, dizziness, sleeplessness, backache, and that bearing-down feeling, Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will tone up your whole system. Mbs. Chaa,
D. Ebbert, 330 Wood St., Reading, Pa., testifies to the
great power of the Compound.
“Mrs. Pinkham—l can say that your medicine has cured
me of the pains and troubles which I had. My case was
a very bad one, and puzzled the doctor. My womb had
fallen and I had terrible pains in my back and hips. iSSHh
I could hardly walk. My husband went to our fam- ...
ily doctor, and he prescribed medicine for me, but
I found no relief, and grew worse instead of better.
The doctor examined me and wanted to perform an * j&SKK!*
operation, but my husband would notconsent.
the advertisement in the paper, I got a bottle of Lydia ‘'StilG
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and before I had
taken half of the second bottle, I felt like a new wo- *
man. In all I have taken four bottles of your medicine, and can say that lam
entirely cured. I hope that every woman suffering as I did, will follow my ad
vice and take your medicine at once.”

Palma, representative of the Cuban

"I did not expect any recommenda
tion to congress for immediate action,
but the president has left congress to
decide the time within which an endur
ing peace must be established in Cuba,
and intimates the necessity of haste by
the United States in this connection in
the words ‘in the near future.’ He fur
ther says that in case of the failure of
Spain to pacify the island with the
scheme of autonomy, American inter
ests, humanity and civilization will de
mand forcible intervention. As Cap
tain General Blanco himself admits
that the Cubans in arms will not accept
autonomy the time the president speaks
of has arrived.
“It will be noticed that the president
does not even suggest the acceptance of
autonomy by the Cubans, and it is evi
dent he would not have written the

WILL HE VETO IT?
Atlanta Commercial Says the Governor
Will Veto Football Bill.
The Atlanta Commercial of Saturday
says:
It is announced at the capital this
morning that Governor Atkinson w 11
veto the anti-football bill.
This bill to prohibit football in Geor-‘
gia passed the house and senate almost
unanimously. Only three votes were
against it in the house.
It is very probable then that the bill
could be passed over the governor’s veto
with ease, but the governor knows that,
in the crowded condition of things, the
bill would not be reached again.
The governor has had the bill in bis
hands two weeks.

COTTON BECEIPTS.-
>
Last Week Showed Lightest Local Re
ceipts For Four Fears Past.
Figures on the local cotton receipts
for last week showed some peculiar
facts. The week’s receipts were
lighter than they had been for any
corresponding week the past four
years.
The total receipts to date are less
than finy of the past four years, with
the single exception of 1895. The
stock on hand is smaller than any
year of the past four years except last
year.
It has been argued by many ex
perts that the cotton crop this year
will not fall short of 10,000.000 bales.
The movement then, in this feet ion,
argues two points, Either that the
crop is shy here or else the farmers
are holding back in the hope of an
advance. Os course the rainy weather
of last week effected receipts appreci
ably, but as a whole the season has
been very favorable both for gather
ing and marketing the staple. Be that
as it may, from now until January Ist
the producers will doubtless come to
market, and trade will be very brisk.
The receipts for the week past are
2,837 bales, against 3,615 bales same
week last year, 8,719 bales two years
ago, 7,345 bales the “big crop” year
and 4,589 bales four years ago.
Total to date 42,341 bales, against
47,936 bales year ago, 35,754 bales the
year previous, 64,204 bales three years
ago and 44,834 bales the year before.
Stock on band 6,390 bales, against
5,075 bales last year, 7.804 bales two
years ago, 7,778 the year previous and
8,514 bales foul years ago.

GEORGIA COAL FIELDS.
Southern Mining and Mineral Company
Will Develop Its Property Extensively
Capt. F H Connor, general man
ager of the Southern Mining and
Mineral company, successors to the
Georgia Mining, Mineral and Manu
facturing company, was in the city
yesterday afternoon from his new of
fice at Shklltuound, Tenn., and gave
some interesting information rela
tive to the development at Rising
Fawn, Ga , says the Chattanooga
Times.
The new company is at present op
erating the Dade coal mines, which
now have a cspacity of 400 tons a day.
There are about 300 men employed at
the mines and coke ovens, which are
operated in connection. Considerable
of the coal output is being coked.
Speaking of the future of the n«w
company as to the Rising Fawn prop
erty, Mr. Connor said:
“ We expect to put the Rising Fawn,
Ga., furnace in blast immediately as
ter the first of the year. We will em
ploy about 1,000 men at the furnace
and in the mines which are operated
in connection with the furnace prop
erty. About 700 of these men will be
employed in the coal mines, while a
number will go into the iron ore
beds.”
This company has recently acquired
about 5,000 acres of coal lands, which
will at once be extensively developed.
Mines are to be opened up and a large
force of men put to work immediately
after the first of January. This will
be interesting information to the resi
dents of the little Georgia town.

THE DOGS OF WAR.
Will be Unchained in a Contest Over the
Chainless Wheel.
Every bicyclist will be interested in
the flight over chainless wheels now
in progress among some of the great
est bicycle concerns of the country.
The war is over prices and it bids fair
to precipitate the greatest legg.l fight
ever waged in the history of the bicy
cle trade. The situation is summarized
in the following extract from an ar
ticle printed in the Cycle Age:
“Although promptly and emphati
cally denied by people alleged to be
concerned in it at this end of line, the
story ot the combination of Coleman.
Yost, Featherstone and Gormully &
Jeffery has been the absorbing topic
or discussion in trade circles here this'
week. The immediate following up
of the rumor by the announcement of
the Western Wheel works that it will
put on the market at >75 chainless
wheel, and that the price of its high
est grade chain wheel has been fixed
at >SO, to say nothing of a tandem at
>75. gave breadth and seriousness to
the indisputable realization that the
trade was on the eye of a great battle
between Pope and one big maker at
least, who has so deftly announced
his intention to fight the pioneer chain
less combination, to say nothing of a
war of prices between thehigb grade
and low-figure cohorts. To those not
afraid to give voice to the danger of
the situation as to prices, the long
prophesied concentration of the
wheel-building business in the hands
of ’the great few’ seems close at hand.
The information gained by the Cycle
Age man at the fountain sources of
the two warring * chainless camps
leaves not the slightest doubt that
there will be a contest in the courts
as soon as a >75 chainless is sold that
will be unparalled in the history of
the bicycle trade. ”

tween Macon and Atlanta in two hours
and ten minutes and the run between

forty-five minutes.
This is is the fastest schedule ever in
augurated on this road, and it is intend
ed to catch the travel between Florida
and the North. The train which is desig
nated as Nos. 13 and 14 leave Rome at
8:20 p. m. and Atlanta at 10:55 p. m.,

No
Patch work!
One of the most encouraging features
of a cure made by S. S. S. (Swift’s Specific)
is its permanency. Os all diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Os course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years ot
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc.,
the evidence of the doctor’s patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
ful mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.
H. L. MVBRS.
Mr. H. L. Myers,of 100 Mulberry street,
Newaik, N.J., made the mistake of re
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says:
“I was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering I en
dured.
“Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried vari
ous patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with th<
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. I
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly improved.
I was soon entirely well, ana my skin M
clear as a piece of glass.”

of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. It is
