Another Death From Football.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov.s1.-Von Cannon
one of the players on the University of
Georgia football team, died yesterday
from the effects of Injuries received in
game between that team and the
team from the University of Virginia
in this city Saturday afternoon. Gam
mon was unconscious after a scrim-
mage at the beginning of the second
half and never regained his senses. He
was an admirable athlete. and one of
the star players of the team. His death
has stirred prejudice against the game
among members of the state legisa-
ture. and 1t Is probable that a bill will
be passed in a few days making 1t a
misdemeanor to engage in a game Of
football in this state.

WARRANTED. PRICE 80 cts,
THE SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX

In another column we have
copied from the Oxford Ledger,
one of the best weekly papers in
the State, an account of the recent
celebration at the Oxford Orphan
Asylum. The Ledger criticises
the address of DR.. McIver in a
dignifed, manly way. In fact, a
gentleman who was present said
that the address was a great dis
appointment to the large audience.
Now, in regard to this increase
of taxation, the question is, can
the people afford to pay this ad-
ditional taxa There are many peo-
pie who can pay it and "never miss
the paltry sum-" But, sad to re-
late, there IRE hundreds who are
so heavily burdened now, that to
them a nickel or a dime is a con-
siderable sum-enough to buy a
calico dress for the little child that
hasn't one. Some say the people
have stood everything else placed
upon them, and they can
stand more. We once heard of a
camel which had carried many
burdens, but finally, after loading
the camel to the utmost capacity,
one more straw was added to the
load, and that straw broke the
camel's back.
There r many men who draw
good salaries, know nothing of
hard times, do not mix with the
great masses, yet they think they
know the condition of the people.
Now the ARGUS stands where it
has always stood, on the side of
education. For nearly thirteen
years, in season and out of season,
we have been fighting for the
schools; and we believe, too, that
the schools that need help first at
the hands of the State are the little
public schools scattered on noun
tain and plain all oyer North
Carolina. We desire to see better
public schools, and if our people
we're in a condition to have their
taxes increased, we would urge
the increase of the tax. But at
present, it seems to us it
would work a hardship to add ad-
ditional burdens to the weary
workers who have toiled so long
and SO patiently, and whose labor
and toll have brought such meagre
returns.

THE NICKEL IN THE CONTRI.
BUTTON PLATE.
BY J. M. H.

For THE ARGUsl.
Ihave been shook up by earthquakes
And have heard the Ocean roar
Have heard cannons at a very
lively rate
But a nickle for it's size
Beats any noise I've heard
When dropped into the contribu
ton plate.
A dollar drops as noiseless
AS a %terrapin off a log,
And a quarter doesn't seem to have
much weight;
But for waking sleepy pilgrims
In the amen corner quick,
Drop a nickel in the contribution
plate.
The sound is sometimes different
l have found by listening well,
But tbs not on account of it's date
When you hear it fall 'kerchug"
It's very likely plugged,
There's a nickel in the contribu.
ton plate.
They rattle like a dice box
Or rather a mill at work,
Or a furnace man cleaning out his
CRATE.
They hit the bottom hard
But they are given to the Lord"
There's a nickel in the contribu.
ton plate.
