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 Who goes to the club while her husband tends the baby, as well as the good old fashioned woman who looks after her home, will both at times get run down in health. They will be troubled with lose of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, fainting or dizzy spells. The most won derful remedy for these women is Elec tric Bitters. Thousands of sufferers from Lame Back and weak Kidneys rise up and call it blessed. It is the medicine for women. Female complaints and Nervous troubles of all kinds are soon relieved by the use of Electric bitters. Delicate women should keep this remedy on hand to build up the system. Only 50e per bottle.

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 rose on right shoulder. Miss Kathleen Clayton, white china silk, white feather in hair. Duchess of Arcos, black satin, black lace corsage blazing with diamonds and trimmed with black lace and white vel vet.

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.” BUCKLEN’S ARNICA SALVE.
