OUGHT TO SIGN BILL
Athita Jouraal Says the Football Bill
Should Not Be Vetoed,
A VERY STRONG EDITORIAL OPINION
Action of Legislature May Have Been
Hasty, But Dangerous Modern
Methods Merit Legal Inhibition
The Atlanta Journal publishes the
following able editorial on the foot
ball bill:
The bill prohibiting football
matches in Georgia for which and ad
mission fee is charged passed both
houses of the legislature with practi
cally no opposition, and is row in the
hands of the governor.
Some newspapers are predicting
that the governor will veto this bill
and others are pleading with him to
do so.
We do not know what the governor
will do in this matter, but we are
-quite sure that he ought to sign the
bill. In a general assembly which
numbers 219 members there were only
seven voters against the measure.
Its introduction and passage was
perhaps hastened by the sacrifice of a
bright and promising young Geofglan
in this brutal game, but the convic
tion that it is so dangerous to life and
limb as to merit legal inhibition has
been growing for years and would un
doubtedly have prevailed before long
even if the recent tragedy had not
been enacted on the football field in
this city.
The protest against football is not
local; it is heard all over the country.
It is not the expression of a maudlin
or sickly sentiment, but a humane
and reasonable demand for the legal
suppression of a game which has result
ed every season for several years past in
the death of some of those who partici
pated in it.
During the last three months no
less than nine young men have been
* actually killed In this country at foot
ball, or have died of injuries inflicted
in the so-called sport. The number
of those injured for life to a greater
or less degree is said to be nearly 100,
and the number who have received
injuries less serious but still painful
and sufficient to produce temporary
disability is much larger.
It is silly to say in defense of foot
ball that accidents occur in all athlet
io games. A weak attempt is made to
draw a parallel between football and
baseball in this respect It is true
that in the course of 20 years two or
three baseball players have received
fatal injuries, but though there are 50
baseball players in this country to one
football player, though the baseball
season is much longer than the foot
ball season, more deaths and life-long
injuries have resulted from football
games in the season just closed than
baseball is chargeable with during
the entire quarter .of a century during
which it has been a popular sport.
Any game in which only a small
per cent of the college students and
school pupils of the country partici
pate (and football is played very lit
tle outside of colleges and schools)
and which piles up a death roll of
nine victims and maims more than a
hundred more within a few weeks
should not be encouraged or tolerated
in any civilized community.
All this talk about reforming foot
ball is bosh. It has been heard at
the close of every football season for
ten years past, and is especially loud
just after ever? death blow is deliver
ed on the football field. Yet the
game becomes rougher and more
fatal every season. At the rate foot
ball reform has gone ever since it- was
first heard of, it will not take it long
to decimate the youths who are rash
enough to engage in its contests,
The opposition to this bloody and
dangerous sport (?) cannot be brushed
aside by the sneer that it represents
a squeamish sentiment. Football is
condemned on scientific grounds as
severely by the leading medical jour
. nals of the country as it is reprobated
kom the standpoint of humanity by
many of those who have witnessed the
cracking of bones and the sacrifice of
precious lives in its furious clashes.

Mr. D. H. Clark, member of the Union

have tried everything in an effort

the idea of being helped. Recent
ly I tried Munyon's Heart Cure
and it gave me almost Instant relief. I
carry a bottle of it in my pocket all the
time, to be used in -case of an emergency.
I have also been troubled with severe
distress in my stomach, accompanied by
pains and drawing up of the intestines.
At times I felt that I would die. I pur
chased a bottle of Munyon’s Dyspepsia
Cure and I am happy to say that the
first dose cured me."
A. G. Austin. No. 7 Harper’s Court,
South Bend, Ind., a veteran of the wr,
wiho contracted rheumatism while in tie
army, and is also suffering from fte
effects of sunstroke, says: " I have been
using the Munyon Rheumatism Cure
since last Monday. I have derived tpore
benefit and greater relief from the medi
cine than any that I have eve.- used; in
deed. one feature is very remarkable;
tny little finger, which has been perfectly
stiff, as though it had no Joint in it, and
always in my way, which I have not
been able t- bend for many years, has
become suppie and pliant, and I can now
close it Into the palm of the hand in a
natural way. I an; delighted with Mun
yon’s medicine.”
Munyon has a separate cure for each
disease. At all druggists, mostly 25 cent*
a vial.
There are other games as admirably
adapted as is football to the develop
ment of muscle, activity, endurance
and pluck, and which offer incompar
ably less danger to those who take
part in them. The dangers of foot
ball far overbalance all the benefits
its most ardent advocates claim for it.
A theoretical defense of this game is
no answer to the scores of deaths it
has easied, and the brigade of men
who have been broken and crippled
in it.
We hope Governor Atkinson will
not hesitate to approve the anti-foot
ball biU.

BROWNE ANSWERS BISHOP
Editor or The Christian Neighbor Take.-*
1..U« With Cnpwre.
Columbia, S. 0., Deo. 7.—Rev. Sidi
H. Browne, editor of The Christian
Neighbor, and president of the South
Carolina Peace society, takes issue with
Bishop Capers as to some statement
made in his call to miuisters to preach
against murder.
The bishop, who was a general in the
confederate army, therein stated that
the soldier on the battlefield, the ci ti
zen in protecting his life and tne lav
officer were excused from the guilt o
murder because they acted by warrant
of his ruleiv, who are the ministers of
God.
Mr. Browne says the bishop speaks
like a valiant general, but there is no
warrant from God.

London, Dec. 7. —The St. Janie< Ga

Kinley’s message to congress, says:
•‘lt has disappointed everybody, in
the attempt to give universal saiisiac
tion. President McKinley is in an un
pleasant position, having to sit on the
fence. As a whole it looks like an early
confession of a great failure.”
The Pall G zwtte takes a favorable
view of the presidential message and
criticizes the comments of Tlmj Times,
remarking r hat it is as impossible *'tn
deal with the Cuban question without
offending Spain as it would be to deal
with Armenia without offending thesui
tan.”
The Globe is of the opinion that it
“would have taxed the abilities even oi'
a great statesman to deai with the ques
tion satisfactorily.” adding: ‘‘Although
all the arguments against the annexa
tion of Cuba are equally applicable t:
Hawaii, the United Stages is determined
to have the latter, though America, a
fourthrate naval power as it is. can
only hold Hawaii on sufferance. In the
event of war she would ue bundled our,

which finds it necessary to occupy the
island.”

THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE
lalk of William McGowan and Genem
Hutltir Opposing fCilssrbe.
Columbia, S. 0., Dee. 7. —Governor El
lerbe has settled the question as to im
candidacy. There is no longer any doubt
ou that score. For some time it was a
matter of discussion as to whether or
not he wouid be a candidate for tlie
office, and he has announced that tin
will make the race, it his health per
mits.
The only other announced candidate
for governor up to this juncture is said
to be Blate Senator Archer of Spartan
burg. Governor Ellerbe was. by insin
uation, ehaiged with appointing Mr.
Kptou of Spartanburg as auditor, so us
to head off the Archer boom.
It is likely that a tight will be made
on the confirmation of the appointment
of Mr. Eptou. but it will hardiy amount
to anything, judging from present uiui
catious.
There has been some talk of Mr. Wil
liam C. McGowan and General Butler
making the race against Governor El
lerbe, bus there is hardly anything in
this Moreover, it is too early for can
didates to announce themselves, us the
primary does not c. me off until next
