paper what il is.
On this occasion Mr.. and Mrs. Estill

per people and other invited guests. At
ter few hours pleasantly spent about
the beautiful grounds one of the most
sumptuous dinners We ever sat down
to was served on two long tables COW
cred with spotless linen in the yard I'M

branches of the famous live oaks.
Mr.. Estilrs speech was in thanks to
his guests for their love and esteem,
while the rest of the speeches were in
praise of the State Fair. Savannah and
the noble work and true hearted kind
ness of Mr. Estill. which has charac-
teriZed his life's devotion to honesty

referred TO as the next Governor of
Georgia. We will state right here that
the affairs of Georgia could not be
placed in better hands. He is a self
made man and is a success as a gem

Its Formation
A dispatch to the New York Sun from,
Chicago yesterday says: Plans are on foot
for the organization of another gigantic
trust, to be capitalized at $500. 600 ono .nd
to be known as the United States Stae,
and Iron Company, according to an an
nouncement made tonight by w. c. Fric,,

Is stopping at the Auditorium Annex. Tho
OBJECT of the new company, as stated nv
Mr. Frick, is to develop unopened mines
IN the Lake Superior region, PENNSYLVANIA
tennessee, to engage in the manufacture of
billets, rails pig iron and bars.
MT Frlck denied amy attempt to combat
the present steel trust, and declared the
intention of the new organization To he
simply to supply steel and iron at existing
prices. Mr.. Frick said:
A large number of prominent steel man.
ufacturers and large companies are inter-
ested In the new organization.
In fact, it includes most of the comma nies
Whlch at present are outside of the United
states Steel Corporation We have the
support of the Columbus Iron and Steel
Company, the Sharon Steel and Iron Com
pany, the Tennessee Steel and Iron Com
pany and the National Structural Tubing

been secured in the neighborhood of Du-
luth and more iron and coal mines will be
secured In Pennsylvania and in Tennessee
Iron and steel will occupy the entire atten-
tion of the organization and no attempt
will be made to operate any copper lands
in the neighborhood of the Lake Superior
holdings. The new company is to be Or
ganized under the laws of New Jersey All
that the new company will attempt to do in

SLAIN. ON GRIDIRON.
Annual Sacrifice to Foot Ball Shows
Danger to Untrained Men.

Danger to Unframed Men.
Gridiron accidents were about up to
standard during the last season in respect
to both frequency and gruesomeness
There were many killed and still more
injured. The latter list runs from paraly-
Sis to broken ligaments. And the same les
son is conveyed this fall as ever before
foot ball is not pastime for infants or
invalids, and the sooner It's supporters take
steps for the restriction Of the game to
men who are able to play 1t the better it
will be for the sport
In almost every case the more serious of
the following accidents could have been
avoided If rules of common sense had pre-
vailed They did not, and men were killed
and MANNED in consequence Friends of
foot ball are already OF the opinion that
the time will come when officials will say
to the man with the weak heart, diseased
bones and unfit muscles, Get QUIT This
Is no place for you
A point of interest in connection with the
following list Is the fact that large
proportion occurred early in the season.
when the men were unframed 1t takes
weeks of hard. persistent and above all
consistent training to get a players frame
into that shape in which he can stand the
strain of scrimmages Broken bones and
strained joints are the results of the dis
regard of this precautfon.
Another fact emphasized Is that the team
with hard schedule needs a trainer An
ordinary coach will not suffice. A coach

work of the specialist. The following acct

exciting game of foot ball by the Wash

toss and chose the south goal. The Wash
ington School boys kicked off and, follow
ing the bali over the goal line, made a
touchdown within thirty seconds, from
which, however no goal was kicked. The
Columbia boys braced up. and after some
hard fighting, succeeded. near the end of
the half in making touchdown and a
goal
In the second half the Washington team,
by series of brilliant rushes, carried the
ball down the length of the field and made
a second touchdown, from which a goal was
kicked. During the rest of the half the
Columbia boys played a plucky game. and
though they carried the ball well into their
opponents territory, they were unable to
score again. When time was called the
score stood II to in favor Of the Wash

JOCKEY AMEs IN AUSTRALIA.
Introduces New Style of Riding and
Has Aeen Successful.


Has Aeen Successful.
In the last bundle of Australian papers
there are found frequent complimentary
references to Jockey Ames' riding in that
country. Ames was the first to show the
Australians what the Tod Sloan style really
looked like and, naturally, his first mount
was watched with intense interest. Like
Sloan did in England when he began riding,
Ames took his horse to the front, as much
to say to the other Jockeys, Catch me
If you can." In Australia they use the long
stirrup and do all their running at the
finish. Ames knew this and consequently,
stole nice lead on the field. By carefully
steering his mount in the stretch he won
the race by a small margin. His exhibition
received unstinted praise In the Australian
press and he was afterward interviewed ex-
tensfvely on American racing, especially
about jockeys.
A San Francisco friend received the fol-
lowing lines from AmeS on the last steamer.
He says: The races are not close together.
but when you win you get five times the
pay you do in America. 1 got 500 for one
win, $50 for another $10O for another and
the other is not settled. So, you see, it is
nice when one wins. / beat a red-hot favor
ite yesterday on a 10 to 1 chance-just got
up in time.
I'm a mile and a quarter race beat the
same field that beat the horse a week be-
fore with a good rider up. They said
they never saw him run the same race and
win so easily. The first Saturday won one
ou. of four mounts and the third won two
out of three months and finished second on
the third.
so, all told, have won four-second once
and third once-out of nine races. That is
not so bad for stranger with no hackers.
There were not many with me at first,
but now they all want to shake hands,
