PENN IS IMPROVING.
Coaches Drill Varsity in Open Plays
in the Rain.

Philadelphia, Nov 6.-Despite the heavy
rain to-day coaches and players Of the
Pennsylvania football team went through
rousing practice The field was drench-
ed, but this did not prevent the coaches
from trying out new players and long
passes. For the best part of an hour the
men practiced at signals, sliding for a
wet ball. and scrimmaging with the fresh
man team.
Coach Torrey spent much time drilling
the team in getting down on the forward
pass, so in case of rain on Saturday the
men VIII be able TO play an open game.
The formations were good and give evi-
dence OF some modern football. which
has been so strangely missing from the
Pennsylvania eleven this year.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The annual auc-
ton sale Of boxes for the West Point
Annapolis football game. to be played at
Franklin Field on Saturday. November
30. was held this morning at Thomas
Thirty-two boxes were put up and a to-
tai of S3.9l0 was realized. making an av-
erage of nearly s. a box.
Owing to the inclement weather there
was a comparatively small attendance
when the auctiOneer mounted his table
and II was expected that prices would
fan below those Of last year. when $500
was cleared. but the figures held remark
ably well. and the spectators. who al
lowed the best boxes to escape on ac-
count of the high bids. were compelled
10 take the leavings at a stiff figure. IL
was announced that the boxes would be
sold TO the highest bidder and that the
successful party could have his choice.
An attempt was made 10 start the first
at one hundred dollars. but there was no
t~dding. and fifty dollars started the ball
rolling. Seventy-iye came from specu-
latOr. but he was eclipsed with an offer
of one hundred fiat. Then the bidding
rose slowly 10 Sl20. at which price Mr.
George S. Graham was given his choice.
He took box No =. In the center Of the
Annapolis stand. and then retired from
the field. The next selection fell 10 Mr..
S. g. Hutchinson for $40, and he took
box No. p in the West Point section.
The price held 20 $40 for the first nine
sales. and then It gradually fell until the
low sum of SO was reached. but only two
went at that figure, the prices increas-
ing until the last was disposed Of for
$50
The names of the purchasers, outside Of
the spectators. were as follows. Mr. c

DEATH OF MR.. COUCH,

the Butler Marble and Granite Co., of
Marietta, died in Douglas county, Ga,
on Wednesday of last week, of typhoid
fever, where he had gone to visit his
mother
lie was "a years of age, and leaves a
wife and two children. He had been
with the Butler Marble Company here
for four years, and had become thor
oughly conversant with their business,
and proved most useful and valuable
man; quiet. gentlemanly and courte-
Gus, winning the confidence and respect
of all who knew him.
He had bought home and stock in
the Company, and, by his industry, was
doing we'll. His untimely death has
saddeneG and carried sorrow to his
many friends here
He was member of the Christian
Church, and lived blameless and up
right life, His burial took place in
Douglas county.
To his hereaved wife, children and
mother we tender our sympathy.

MONEY MAKING
AND SPENDING

This is a money-makiDG age, and
some men are making more than ever
in their lives, but great majority are
making in their business but very little
surplus above actual living expenses.
This is true in Marietta. When il
is taken into consideration how many
demands are made upon the purse OF
the average business man, it is a won
der he holds up in finances, especially
if he lives in town or city. By the
time he pays his city taxes, his State
taxes, county taxes, business license,
life insurance, lodge dues, property in
surance, repairs on property, his church
assessments, his contributions to va
rious and increasing charitable people
and institutions, new enterprises, to
say nothing of his family expenses, he
must necessarily come to the conclusion
that he must hustle and keep hustling,
or fall into the hands of the sheriff.

TAXES.

The State tax rate this year has been
increased by the Governor to the limit
of the law-tive dollars on the one
thousand dollars. The tax rate in Cobt
county has been fixed at $3.50 on the
$1,000, This increased rate in the
county is due to the appropriation OF
$4,000 by the county to the Agricul-
tural College at Macland, as recon-
mended by three grand juries. This
makes total, state and county tax, of
$ll.6S on the 81 900. The city tex has
been placed at 81 90 on the 81 900, a re-
duction OF twenty cents. The total tax
for this year-state, county and city
is $lS,6S on the ZOO.

SENATOR CLAY.
(From the Rome Daily Herald.)


That Governor Smith will make the
fight in the primary against Clay, is
generally believed by his large constit-
uency in Floyd county.
Senator Clay is an avowed candidate
to succeed himself. Behind him stand
the old guard of the democratic party
in Georgia. In Floyd county such men
as Mayor Maddox and his followers are
for Clay, first, last and all the time.
They understand, from long residence
in Washington, the prestige gained by
q senator who is sent back term after
term by his State. 1t is for this reason
that the States of Alabama, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Iowa, have been tremendous forces in
the United States senate. The senators
from those States have been sent back
term after term, and have come to
WELD tremendous influence in the
shaping of all legislation born in that
body. The Georgia senators are also
numbered among the stalwarts with
Hale, Lodge. Allison, Tillman, the late
Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama, DAN
iels, of Virginia, and Bailey and Gull
berson, of Texas. Each succeeding
term makes a senator more vital force
for his State, and Clay's friends are ar
guing that it would be poor policy to
shelve man of his ability and standing
even for Governor Smith or Seaborn
Wright
