8 THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., DECEMBER 0, 1897 TO PREACH AGAINST CRIME SHOOTS HIS WIFE DEAD Believed That He Will Veto the Antifootball Bill. HOV PREPARING A SPECIAL NOTE Governor l{«*cnlvos a Letter From Mrs. Von Gammon, Mother of thi Yount; Blau Killed In the V«ri;lfila*Qeor^ia <*<*o- test. Asking; Him ti> s ave Her ^ou** Cher* tshed Ouiue—Aricumeiits Ad vanned. Atlanta, Dec. 7.—Governor Atkin* ■on, it is stated on pood antliurity, will ▼eto the famous antifootball bill. Ht is said to be prepariup a statement to in sent to tlie Georpia legislature explain ing why he has decided to withhold his | approval. The fact that the measure passed tin I legislature with only a few dissenting | Totes makes its future somewhat prob- j lematic, but it seems safe to predict that Governor Atkinson’s veto will In sustained. The bill was passed soon after tin killing of young Vou Gammon of tin University of Georgia team on the locai gridiron last month, and the legislator: felt that they were avenging his death by so promptly making future acci dents of a similar nature ini possible. 1 But it turns out that Vou Gammon | came from a Spartan family and that | neither his relatives nor friends are seeking that sort of •vengeance. It is the dead man’s own mother wlm J has induced the toveruor to veto the bill. Mrs. Gammon in her petition j says that football was her son’s favorite | gun:a, a>.u tiia. if he could be consulted t he would join in the request of his fel- j low students for tire veto ofjthe bill. In her lotror this hsraie mother cnlh the governor’s attention to the fuel that two of Her sou’s schoolmates, Wnl uoias and Arthur Goetehius. have recently met accidental deaths, one by falling over a precipice and one by fail ing down stairs. Hhe asks if it is not equally sensible for the legislature tc abolish precipices and stairways on ac count of these deaths as it is to abolish football because of the death of her sou. Letters from all parts of the country have poured in upon the governor ami the state has also been thorouph.y aroused. It has been argued that ii football is prohibited at the Georgia university and the other colleges of the state these institutions will be unable tc compete with the big schools of the north where footpad is played. One of the most forcible arguments for the veto is contained in the follow ing paragraph from Mrs. Vou Gam mon’s letter to the governor: •’You are confronted with the prnpo- „ •itiou whether the game is of such a character as should be prohibited by law in the interests of society. In aii- ■wer, unquestionably it is not. In the first place, die conditions necessary tc its highest development are total ab stinence from intoxicating and stimu lating drinks—alcoholic or otherwise — os well as from cigarettes and tobacco ia any form; strict regard for propei add health! t diet and for all the laws -4-Of health; , roisteut regularity in the Tf-iK hours of going to bed and absolute -1- purity of lifa.” •vc, 11 8IG STRIKE AT ATLANTA.
