stage REMAINS QUIET ON
BIG FIVE PROPOSITION
Maroon Coach is Making Effort
to Secure Big Games for
Next Year.
FIVE GAMES ALREADY SURE

Coach A. A. Stage is still looking for
his big games for next football season
The University of Chicago leader re-
turned this week from his fortnight
i'm the South, with his schedule still
in the air and a large desire to land
at least four flrst-class contests for the
1910 gridiron grind.
The coach's expected announcement
concerning the recently proposed big
rive" was the mildest thing the root
crs have heard since the agitation for
n break in the conference. Coach
Stagg said he knew nothing about
such a movement and would not in
yestgate il at present, being more con-
cerned with his football program and
the coming meeting of the football
rules committee.
without any of the 1910 games con-
tracted for, Stage wants to get the
schedule finished i'm short order. Min
nesota is "A certainty, although no con-
tract exists, while wisconsin, Illinois
Northwestern and Indiana are prac-
tically sure. Cornell is slightly less
certain, although Coach Stagg ex-
poets request from the Ithacan
team and the remaining contest will
go to Purdue or some big eastern
team.
While the coach declined to enter
the big eight" symposium about the
big five" the rooters think he is OPP
roscd To the scheme on the ground
that Chicago should make no advances
of any kind. that could be interpret
ed as attempts to get Michigan back
into the conference. So far as Stage
is concerned, the question can hang
fire until the next meeting of the
conference representatives.
Coach Stage has received n number
Of minor suggestions concerning modi-
fcatons i'm the football playing rules.
but none of Importance. His chief
suggestions at the eastern meeting will
be regarding the prohibition Of pushing
and pulling the runner with the ball
and modifying the forward pass rules
so as To make the pass more popular
and thus do away still more with
mass plays.

George Lawtm and Rogers will form

Kaynor, Kniskern. Daniels and Ber-
trand, who served ON the varsity squad
during the past season, will be includ-
ed among the likely candidates for line
jobs next fall. The wealth of material

TRIBUTE TO THAD. PICKETT.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson:-I have
just read the sad news in The JEFF
fersonian of the death of Rev. Thad.
Pickett, a man, perhaps, of the most
native ability Georgia had. A man
for whom l had the very highest es-
TEEN; man fearless and who had the
courage of his convictions under any
and all circumstances, a brother
whom [ loved with all the ardor of
my nature; he was truly a great man.
The Populists have lost one of it's
ablest and most,fearless advocates. A
man remarkable for his integrity of
purpose, one of the best informed
men in the Scriptures I ever met, it
will be hard to find a man to fill his
place.
[ greatly sympathize with Mrs.
Pickett and the children in their sad
bereavement.
From true and devoted friend.

REV. THAD. PICKETT'S DEATH
AND FUNERAL.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I write you to
tell you of the sad death of Mr.. T.
Pickett. He died August the 9Th at a.
private sanatorium in Atlanta, after
an operation. Mr.. Pickett was de-
voted to you, was a great lover of
your paper, and we all knew him to
be one of the best Christian gentle
men North Georgia has ever had.
He was our neighbor and brother
He was like a father to me, and
when he bade us all goodbye he,
begged us to meet him in heaven.
Mr.. Pickett was buried Sunday, at
2 p. M, at Talking Rock, Ga. There:
were nearly two thousand people at
his funeral at his old home church.
Mr.. Pickett leaves a wife and eight.
dear children to mourn his loss.
Last night, just one week from his;
death, his little daughter fell in the.
arms of Jesus. She was converted
here at the Baptist church under the
preaching of Bro. Goss, from Atlanta.
His noble son, Mr.. Roscoe Pickett,

vince goOd christian people OF an
error of judgment in some part of
their religious faith?
There is no question, in my mind,
but what great number of foreign
mission believers get world of
solace and comfort out of their faith
and contribution, and to shatter their
ideals seems wicked; however, isn't
it duty we owe ourselves, the pub
lie and posterity to express our
honest convictions on all great pub
lie questions?
Suppose we are in error, and the
foreign mission believer be correct,
do we not do more harm in fighting
an innocent evil than the believer
does in practicing it? What is the
line Of duty of a church communi-
cant who is opposed to foreign mis-
sions?
[ have, for a number of years,
considered you the greatest mental
force in public life since the Recon-
struction period and I have an abid-
ing faith in your honesty of purpose,
but have at some times doubted your
good judgment.
You may publish this letter, to-
gether with your reply, and I will
thank you for so doing.
Very cordially yours,

Millen, Ca, August -, 1909.
Ed. Comment: We naturally in
cline to believe,
CD What everybody says;
CD What some are constantly
saying, and nobody denying.
God made us just that way. Now,
the ministers of the Gospel have for
years been preaching Foreign Mis-
sions, until nearly everybody has
got it on the brain" Ages ago,
when some wiseacre announced that
the earth is round, people were pain
fully shocked. So much so, indeed,
that they rose up in wrath. and did
hasty and rude things to the round
earth crank.
So, also, with reference to the evo-
luton of the earth. Calico, as you
have no doubt heard once or twice,
was cast into prison by our Catholic
Papa's pets, and grievously tortured
because of his heretical discovery Of
orthodox facts.
AS there will be further discussion
of Foreign Missions in the editorial
pages, I will restrain myself from
extended remarks here.-T. e. w.
