VETO OF GOVERNOR
Bis Reasons For Preventing Football Bill
Becoming a Lav.
& TRUSTEES AKD PARENTS MATTER
Teaches 'Self Control and Discipline,
Opinions ot Educators—Stops Carou
sals and Debaucheries.
In the course of hie reasons for
vetoing the football bill, Governor
Atkinson writes:
“Every game of football is a match
game. There can be game at all without
two opposing sides contending for the
mastery. Even so-called practice games
on the college campns are match games,
In which eleven men on one side are
pitted against eleven men on. the other
side, in a contest of skill, activity,
strength and generalship. Hence, there
can be no game without it being a match
game. The second section seems to be
added to no purpose, as the first makes
the playing of the game unlawful,
whether an admission fee is charged or
not, and whether played by men or ten
year old boys. All who play football,
whether men or children, are guilty of
a penal offense and subject to be sent to
the chaingang.
“I was not unmoved by the sad occur
ence which, in my opinion, was the
immediate cause of the passage of this
bill, but under all circumstances the
law-making power of a people should
adhere to a sound policy and fixed prin
ciples. The games as played under ex
isting rules can be made, and is often,
too rough, but if it be admitted that the
abuses of the game call for legislative
action, it could only justify the enact
ment of a statute sufficiently far-reach
ing to require a modification of the rules
and correct the abnses which were
deemed a public evil. It would not an
thorize a statute so sweeping in its pro
visions as the one now under considera
tion.
It Is Trifling With the Law,
“There are grave and paramount rea
sone for opposing this class of legisla
tion. It leads to innumerable petty and
vexatious criminal laws regulating the
most trivial affairs Os life, depriving the
parent of the authority to.' control his
child and robbing the citizen of that de
gree of liberty which should be the
heritage of every son of the republic.
Already many intelligent Americans
who have traveled abroad are seriously
contending that the tyranny of the ma-1
jority is worse than the rule of a mon-|
arch and that the multiplicity of laws in.
America regulating the habits and con- |
duct of men have left to the individual I
here less rights, less freedom, than is ■
possessed by the citizen of a European
monarchy. The majority has the jower
to do much which it has not the right
to do. There are many things not ap
proved by the majority Which are not
proper subjects of legislation.
“If the game of football seriously in
terferes with the welfare of society and
inflicts injuries upon others of a charac
ter which public opinion will not obvi
ate or correct, legislation should then go
just so far as may be necessary to remedy
the wrong, but no further. The right of
a parent to say what games his boy
shall play should not be questioned or
disturbed until demanded by imperative
necessity. The humblest citizen of this
state should be secure in his right to con
trol his own child, and say in what
games he may be permitted to [engage.
Football causes less deaths than hunt-
The men whe
say that they are
made of tough stufl
-Jr an d can * Rtan d any
t^n &> generally find
that death is made of
I P tougher stuff and are
found in a coffin at an
Ly a g e when they should be
\ doing their best and most
ijv useful work. It is time
ft enough for a man to brag
• about his toughness when
he has reached a ripe old age. The
men who live long lives are the ones who
take care of their health in youth and
maturity. They realize the truth of the
old saying that “a stitch in time saves
nine.” The ones who don’t do this die
off of nervous prostration, heart failure,
and consumption.
The best of all health-restorers and
health preservers is Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures 98 per cent,
of all cases of consumption. It wards off
nervous troubles and wasting diseases.
It corrects all disorders of the digestion,
invigorates the liver and restores the
appetite. It fills the arteries with the
pure, rich, red blood of health. It tears
down, and carries off old, inert and
half-dead tissues and replaces them by
new. It builds firm, healthy flesh. It
makes the muscles strong and elastic and
steadies and tones the nerves. It cures
debility and weakness of every descrip
tion. It is the product of the life-time
experience and study of an eminent and
skillful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N. Y. Thousands of men and
women have testified to its virtues.
Druggists sell it.
There is nothing in the world “just as
good,” although avaricious druggists will
sometimes say so for the sake of the
greater profit to be made upon, the in
terior article.
ing, boating, fishing, horseback riding,
bathing or bicycling. If we are to en
gage in legislation of this character now
under discussion, the state should as
sume the position of parent, forbid all
these sports to boys, make it a penal
offense for a boy to engage in any of
them, and for any parant to permit his
child to engage in them. The govern
ment should not usurp all the authority
of the parent. Yet this legislation is a
long stride in that direction.
A Matter for Trustees and Parents.
“If it is found that trustees, faculties
and parents persist in permitting the
game played in a manner which calle
for legislative action, the state can inter
fere to correct the evil; bnt it would be
unfortunate to entirely suppress in our
schools and colleges a game of so great
value in the physical, moral and intel
lectual development of boys and young
men
Opinions of Great Educators.
“The president of the university of one
of our sister states said to me: ‘lf these
young men were not -permitted to ex
pend their exuberant spirits and excess
of youthful energies in this way, they
would find vent in carousals, debauch
eries and dissipations,'
“Chancellor Day, of the University
of Syracuse, a Methodist institution,
says: ‘I do not feel like joining the uni
versal outcry against the [game. Foot
ball is encouraged, by the faculty of
Syracuse university. During my three
years of office there has not been a seri
ons accident on our field or to our team,
believe that some such game ,as foot
ball which contains elements of rough
ness and danger is necessary to the de
velopment of many youug men in uni
versity, college and seminary. Its fu
ture, I am told by lovers of the game,
is tending toward more open playing. ’
‘ ‘Football would fail of one of its chief
ends, in my estimation, if it did not
teach the young men self-control. A
man who goes through a season of being
trodden upon and knocked down de
serves fairly a diploma in the art of self
control. It is valuable discipline. Foot
ball in the university has been a source
of gratification to the faculty and trus
tees. We rejoice at the high standard of
scholarship kept up by the men in active
play. One man who played the game
during bis entire course was able to
keep up his work to the extent that the
administration selected him as in
structor in our institution after gradu
ation. ’’
The Coming Woman

NEARING THE CENTURY MARK.
Mrs. Jenifer Noble Who Was Ninety Years
Old East Tuesday.
Mrs. Jenifer Noble possess today the
ninetieth milestone in a long and not un
eventful journey of life, says the Annis
ton Hot-Blast of Tuesday.
Ninety years ago! That sounds like
ye ancient time, so rapid has been the
march of events, and so countless the
changes, on the world’s map, in in
vention and discovery, in science and
the manner of living, America was
then small of statue, and England,
Mrs. Noble’s native country, has passed
through perhaps her greatest reign, and
stretched her sway over vast territories
Mrs. Noble and her family have had
much to do in making this, the Model
City, and there is hardly a prominent
industry that is not in some way con
nected with a “Noble. ”
Yesterday she was knitting for the
bazaar that is to be given by St. Micheal’s
church next week. Not even a new
English penny was ever brighter than
she. A genial, kindly lady, a courte
ous, Christian woman, among the
Greeks she might have been named the
“Goddess of Hospitality.’’
She rejoices in many a great grand
child, grand child and child. What
better could every Annistonian do, than
to voice the toast of the genial Rip:
I “Here’s to you and your family! May
you live long and prosper!”

Tennyson and Browning.
In the Tennyson memoir it appears
that when Browning sent Tennyson a
copy of the “Red Cotton Night Cap”
Tennyson wrote:
Uy Dear R. B.— My wife has just cut the
leaves. I have yet aKain to thank you, and
feel rather ashamed that I have nothing of my
own to send you back, but your muse is pro
lific as Hecuba, and mine, by the side of her,
an old barren cow. Yours ever, • A. T.
Perhaps there never was any great
literary sympathy between Tennyson
and Browning, though there was much
personal friendship. Fitzgerald had a
decided dislike for Browning’s work,
for he called him “the Great Prophet
of the Gargoyle School.”—New York
Times.

SHE WAS A BOOMER.
Rome Was Visited by Her in Its High-
Flying Days.'
Many Romans will remember Mrs.
Marie Robinson Wright who spent
sometime at the Armstrong hotel dur
ing the boom days. She wrote up Rome
for some of the big papers. The follow
ing story concerns her:
The Mexican Herald of the 26th ult
gives a graphic seven column account
of the great Thanksgiving charity ball
given by the American colony the night
before in the city of Mexico.
The affair was gorgeous in its splen
dor, and rivalled in elegance and ex
travagance the last of the Bradley-Mar
tin’s ball.
The Herald pronounced the gay as"
semblage a “Bewildering spectacle of
pretty costumes and prettier faces.”
Among the many notable guests were
Misses Clayton, with their mother, the
wife and daughters of the American
minister, Hon. Powell Clayton, the
Duchess of Arces and the Baroness Von
Ketteler,
President Diaz was the honored guest
at the ball. Several hundred society
people were present. The Herald gives
an elaborate description of about two
hundred costumes worn, and describes
that of Mrs. Wright as follows:
‘‘Mrs. Marte Robinson Wright, im
perial robe, decollete, of steel gray
spangled satin, strapped behind the
shoulders with bands ot satin, with
immense topaz buckle, corsage blazing
with diamonds and picked out with
orange ribbons, veiled in tulle and vio
lets, hair adornment violets, feather
fan to match dress.
Their costumes were described as fol
lows:
Mrs. Clayton, handsome costume of
mauve watered silk, trimmed with
cream lace.
Miss Clayton, black and white striped
brocade, green chiffon spangled, girdle
of black velvet and garnet silk, white
feather and Castile rose in hair, blush

PIEDMONT INSTITUTE.
Future of This Splendid School Discussed
By President Ballenger. ‘
Rev. E. W. Ballenger, president of
Piedmont Institute at Rockmart, was
in the city Tuesday and was inter
viewed by a Tribune reporter in refer
ence to the future plans for the school.
This college was founded some eight
years ago. and as a charge of the North
Georgia Conference was placed in the
hands of Bev. E. W. Ballenger, who
has been at its head ever since. He
has been indefatigable in his efforts to
make it a strong and self supporting
institution. From opening in a small
frame building be has built it up to
where it now occupies a splendid stone
building worth several thousand dol
lars. The standard of work has been
pronounced by every one familiar with
it as being the most thorough of an
similar institution in the state. Scores
of boys and girls throughout this sec
tion have gone from Piedmont's doors
equipped in mind and heart for meet
ing life’s battles with courage and
ability. As to tee recent troubles of the
school President Ballenger said:
“One year ago I accepted the presi
dency of the school under protest and
with the understanding that I should be
relieved some time before the next con
ference. My health had about failed me
under the strain of the position, and my
eyes, too, were bad.
“Then there came the financial string
ency of the past few months. Collec
tions were very poor, and many pupils
were dropping out. And the faculty we
had was one of the best and highest pric
ed we had ever had. The school was
struggling beneath the weight of adver
sities, and I was almost on the verge of
nervous prostration. Just before confer
ence I decided that the only thing to do
was to close up. At conference I was
again promised relief from the presidency,
and a man had been selected to take my
place, but he backed down. Another
man was appointed and he, too, backed
out. The conference then said I must
go back, but promised to relieve me from
the brunt of past worries. It remains to
be seen if it is done.
“You can state that the school will
op in about January Ist, whether lor
some one else does so.”
