Football matches are thing of the past

The faculty and the trustees of the univer-

countenanced football matches. Alderman
Woodward's resolution prohibiting football
in Atlanta went through the Council last
night by almost unanimous vote. Foot
ball will soon be as dead in other States as
it is in Georgia. The game has been tried

strengthen youthful endurance and at the

because Sheriff Starr had left a colored
woman servant attending the jail door

the officer has had a half-dozen detectives
after the fugitive, to show that he did not
connive at his escape. Hayden was located
by a letter which he wrote home to a wom-

Governor Mounts Hard Job.

We note that the Governor of Indiana is
going steadily ahead with his preparations
for prosecuting the perpetrators of the YER
sailleS lynching affair. If he pursues his
purpose and is successful in putting the
leaders, at least, into the penitentiary for a
goodly term of years he will have accom-
plished more than 10000 editorials and 2O,0O0
sermons toward the suppression of lynch
ing But perhaps the sermons and the edi-
torials have had something to do with the
Governors resolution. However that may
be, editorials and sermons are more needed
right now than ever before for it is now
that the Governors purpose and his nerve
will be tried Now is the time to hold up
