Ad for a New $900 Steinway Piano Ad for Weekly Commercial Appeal $5,000 for 50 cents VARSITY BOY ON FOOTBALL Editor News Press On looking over your paper for last week I see an article on football clipped from the Southern Ida. It is an article that is likely to leave false impressions and I cannot refrain from answering it. He shows his ignorance of this subject at the very outset by comparing football with pugilism. No other proof is necessary, to my mind, to show that the writer of the article mentioned, knows nothing at all of the subject on which eh was writing. He leaves the impression that never a game is played without some of the players being killed. I have seen a dozen of football games and it seems very ridiculous for a sensible person to make such a statement. I can account for it in no other way than that of misinformation. During the past five years I suppose there has been at least 50 match games of football played in Nashville and in no one of them has there been a single person killed or seriously injured. And yet this learned judge of athletics says that the first question about the result of a game is: “How many of the players were killed?” Will this learned person please give me the source of his information concerning this wholesome slaughter in football games He says that football is a good old game but it has come to a sorry state in these days, etc. Great, indeed, is this person’s knowledge of his subject. It simply shows that he has either willfully misrepresented things or is sadly lacking in information concerning the game he is so eager to criticize. For the gentleman’s information I will state that football is originally an English game, and that there is a vast difference between the English and American forms of the game; but that the English form of the game, bad as it is, is not deserving of the tirade of abuse that is poured out against the whole football generation by the writer of that article. Each year sees more rigid rules relating to that part of the game in which it is possible to be injured. The rules are much more severe this year than last, but of course we could not expect this writer who has shown so many and so good (?) reasons against football to know this. He goes on and says that “these things (referring to those killed and wounded) are not accidents but the results of the game as now played, and are anticipated by the players and spectators.” What a capital Baron Munchausen’s the writer would make! And then he finishes up with the greatest misrepresentation he is capable of. In his last paragraph he finishes up with a condensation of his misrepresentations in one final burst of “righteous indignation” and then concludes by showing the Governor his duty. His whole article smacks suspiciously of the “penny dreadful” series and is about on par with them in regard to the truth of his statements. In conclusion I would like to ask the writer a few personal questions: From what source did you get your information concerning football? How many football games have you attended and how many were the “killed, wounded and missing” after the games? Can you tell the difference between the English and American forms of this game? Did you ever see a copy of football rules? Do you know how many men is necessary for a football tem? And lastly, What do you know about football any way? A VARSITY BOY, Nashville, Tenn.

TRUTHS OF DEMOCRACY – Expressed in the Writings of Thomas Jefferson NEBRASKA DROUTH (sic) SUFFERERS Monday’s mail brought to this office a copy of the Tribune, published at Callaway, Custer County, Nebraska. The people of sunny Alabama who think we have hard times should consider the suffering and distress of their fellow creature in drouth stricken Nebraska. Starvation is at their very doors and were it not for the good people of other states thousands would die of hunger and cold. The Tribune tells its own story thusly: To Brother Printers: Aid is being sent here to the farmers, but we can’t issue on aid flour or a piece side meat, and having run all our white paper through we are using up our old paper we have on hand. It is about exhausted and only the office towel is left which has not been washed for seven years. So ask our brother printers to consider our situation with a family to support, with nothing coming in, and we know their ever generous disposition will see some way to contrite a little paper or a couple hours work to keep my paper going for the good it will do the outside world in telling them how this afflicted drouth stricken district is getting along, also to enable us to get shoes and proper wraps for our wife and four children. All communications will be cheerfully answered and any donations will be acknowledged in the press, whether for us or to be divided with other printers in this district. If other information is needed write to Wm. Van Winkle or Tribune and I can assure any little gift, if no more than a dime, will be gratefully received. FRANK W. CONLY The following paragraphs are clipped from the Tribune of January 19: To have all you want to eat is a luxury in this country now-a-days. This setting type with your toes out and the thermometer ten below zero with a fire of old exchanges is rather tough on a half fed printer. It is now estimated that over 12,000 have left this county since last fall, in fact all who could get away went. A fellow northeast of here stole a sack of flour and when the officer got there to arrest him the children were eating it raw. The food trains from the south to the drouth sufferers of this state will furnish the sort of union that is needed between the south and west. Now comes the good old state of Georgia with 21 cars full of provisions to be distributed among their less fortunate western friends, soon to be followed by a train made up at New Orleans. Mr. Conley’s appeal is a most worthy one and we trust that our reader swill contribute something. The News-Press is making up a fund for him and will add any thing its reader may send. Or you many send the money to Mr. Conley yourself. If the amount is only a dime it will do some good and be thankfully received.

The remark is unworthy Alabama’s chief executive. Suppose Fayette should consent to let the strip go back, what will you give for the territory? – [Fayette Sentinel] We will give the citizens of the strip the pleasure of living under democratic rule, in the old reliable county of Marion, where peace and plenty abounds and Popinjays are unknown. If this is not enough, name your price. There is no sacrifice however great we would not make to relieve at lease a few of the afflicted democrats of Fayette. SOUTHWARD HO! Three of the largest cotton-cloth corporations in Lowell, Mass. are about to erect large factories in the south. They are now working on a margin of one quarter of a cent a year, and say they cannot stand the competition of southern factories. The president of one of these corporations, who was interviewed, says that cheaper cotton, help and fuel, enable the southern manufacturer to make common cotton cloth for one cent a yard less than it can be produced for in New England. The southerner buys his cotton from the farmer’s wagon for a cent a pound cheaper than it costs compressed and freighted to Lowell. He gets coal out of his back yard instead of freighting it from Pennsylvania. With little competition in the female labor market, he gets cheaper help. The southern factories have adopted the policy of employing only white girls who are excluded from most lines of work by the competition of colored women. The available, accessible water powers of New England are so much in demand that many of the factories have already adopted steam power. The product of cotton cloth in New England has undoubtedly reached it maximum, and the near future will see a marked tendency of all manufacturing to gravitate toward the supply of raw material – [Ex.} Five-cent cotton will prove a blessing in disguise if it induces the farmers of the south to raise plenty of home supplies. Give the people a chance to vote on the question of holding a constitutional convention and dollars to cents convention will carry. In his last message to Congress, President Cleveland says:………………. The Manufacturer’s Record gives southern farmers the following sensible advice: “The South’s large crop last year was due more to a heavy yield per acre than to a large increase in acreage. If this section is to maintain its independence of the West so far as corn is concerned, every effort should be made to urge upon the farmers the importance of planting large acreage this year than ever before. With a big corn crop the South is better prepared to stand low-priced cotton, than it could in any other way.” Ad for Columbus Business College – Columbus, Ga Listen to your truthful neighbors when they gladly exclaim: bargains, bargains, at W.

It is thought, however, that the bill will become a law for Marion County. We received a communication from the eastern portion of the county last week, but the writer having failed to sign his name it was used to kindle a fire in the office stove. We publish no article unless accompanied by the name of the author. A certain young printer called on a young lady a few evenings since and imagine her surprise when she saw him enter with a complete outfit of carpenters tools. Naturally she wanted to know what he meant by carrying a box of tools, and the young gentleman told her he was expecting a proposal of marriage at any time and always went prepared to accept and begin at once the erection of a suitable residence. Finally BOB left without making a mash and the young lady is consulting her friends as to his sanity. DON’T ABOLISH IT We understand there is a bill now pending before the General Assembly looking to the discontinuance of the State Geological Survey. When we consider the great factor these surveys have been in discovering and developing the mineral resources of our state, we cannot think the General Assembly will fail to make the usual appropriation for its continuance. In June 1871 the Board of Regents of the University of Alabama passed an ordinance requiring the professor of Mineralogy and Geology in the University to devote as much time to traveling over the state and making collections and examinations in Geology as was consistent with his duties at the University. He at once spent some time in the field, and at a meeting of the Legislature in 1872 a bill was introduced creating the office of state Geologist……………….. CURE FOR DIPTHERIA Put a teaspoonful of sulphur into a wineglass and stir it with the finger instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not mix readily with water. When the sulphur is dissolved the patient must gargle with it, and after the gargling, swallow it, and the patient will be out of danger in ten minutes. When the fungus is too nearly closed to allow gargling, the sulphur in that case should be blown through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. If a patient cannot gargle, take a live coal put it on a shovel, sprinkle a spoonful of brimstone upon it; let the sufferer inhale it by holding the head over it, and the fungus will die. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast, and plant in a few minutes. – [Ex] Envelopes 5 cents a pack. Do you want them? If so, call at the post office building.
