ATHENS, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1913. WEATHER FORECAST. Washington, D. C., September 11.—Forecast for Georgia: Generally fair tonight and Friday; warmer tonight in the northwest portion. OPERA STAR CARES FOR HER BABIES THE BLOOD ROYAL After the “certificated marriages” of which we have been reading, and in the new light of the Eugenic ideal which is now penetrating into darkest social fastnesses, the wedding "of the German princess with young Manuel, discarded king of Portugal —heralded as the '‘moat important event” of its kind in Europe since the kaiser's daughter took unto herself a mate—comes like an echo from the dark ages. At the marriage of these two scions of inbred and deter i.rated stock, there were all the crowned heads of Europe. Flab dab, glitter lace, velvet and jewels were spread heavily over the occasion to lend it dignity and prestige, but the real meaning of such marriages can scarcely be obscured- Science and common sense has passed them up. What the world wants today are “royal families” of a very different sort that those which mediaeval superstition has pro duced through consanguineous mating. If there is divine right in blood it is the divinity of right eousness and purity: In it legacy of good nerves and good tis sue, of strong wills and brains which can deliberate, comprehend and plan. In this and in this alone is the divine right to rule vested. Democracy, shaping itself through the guardianship of right eous science is rearing’its royal families and building up human power which is real and lasting. The best that Vanity Fair can do is to cover the blight of its Bourbon blood with the glamour of wealth and prestige, but this is the sort of power which swaps hands. A few chosen families may hold it today, but soon it is bound to slip away and gather around a more geniune support. The blood royal of the future will be the blood which pro- luces the best brains and the most wholesome bodies. Society will learn in a very few years that no “importance” adheres to the muting of a dissipated little kingling, even though he is fortunate enough to secure a decent little princess as his spouse. JURY SERVICE AS A DUTY The publication of the grand and traverse jury lists shows a goodly number of names of Clarke county citizens. There is no fault to be found with the personnel of the lists. The Herald suggests, however, that they might contain more names. These •two lists are probably as good as those of any county in the state. They may be above the average. But we believe that they should contain the names of a greater number of our citizens. Every man in the county who is not disqualified for service should have his name in the traverse jury box. Jury duty is to often evaded. Two many men shun jury service on some plea or other. It is true that often it is found quite inconvenient to leave one’s business and serve on a jury, but it is a duty that should appeal t o every good citizen. There are men who have nothing but leis ure who are always anxious to serve upon juries, and also often these mtn are of an undesirable quality. As a rule, too many of the best citizens of a community seek to avoid this jury service. This is not the case in Clarke county, but at the same time it might be a good idea to have a large num ber of ngmes on the jury list. VALUE OF NEWSPAPER SPACE Every line in a newspaper costs its publisher something. If it is to benefit some individual he may fairly expect to pay something, fays The C-ainvtUe, (0.;j Times. You do not go into a grocery and ask the p, oprietor to hand you ten pounds of sugar for nothing, oven though the gift might net be a large cne. If the beneficiary of advertising does not pay for it, the proprietor has to settle the bill. Nevertheless some people cannot seem to learn that a newspaper pays its expenses hy renting space and that it is just as much entitled to collect rent for every week that apace is occupied as you are for the house you reet to the tenant. We treat religious and philathopic enterprises liberally, yet in spite of this, many of these enterprises expect the newspaper to gfve them space, rent free. We believe we are just as generous as the average merchant on the street. We therefore cannot understand why we are repeatedly be sought to give away our goods. No nurse for Mme Gerville-Reache’s babies. No hands but mother’s to care for them from the day of their birth till they can care for themselves. An other little boy has come to the great contralto, and the announcement was made from her bedside that she would muse this one as she had her first child. The singer, who is of the Metro politan Opera House forces in New York, has been engaged by Max Ra- binoff, the impressario, as one of the contralto’s for the forthcoming sea son in the National Opera company of Canada. She will sing in the prin cipal cities of Canada and will then go on a tour of Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, Houston, Seattle, Spo kane, Denver and other western cities. But the boy who came the other day will not be left behind. In private life Mme Qerville-Reache is Mme Rambaud wife. the well known physician, who was so long in charge of the Paateur Institute, They have one son, Paul, who was nursed hy his mother on all her operatic travels. CAMPUS CHAT (By I. F.) The University of Georgia will for mally open its doors on Wednesday, September 17th. Indications point to the largest attendance in the history of the institution and fully 800 stu dents will be on hand at the open ing. The boys have already begun to roll in and every train is bringing a score of familiar faces to' the city. Very few new boys have arrived'so far, but by Sunday the majority of the members of the new freshmati class will be on hand. The class Wf probably be about two hundred and fifty strong and if the class scraps -were in vogue at present, the sopho mores would have a lively tussle at the hands of their less experienced brethren. Monday is the first day of regis. tration and from that time to the end of the week, the officials will be actively engaged in the tedious work of enrolling the student body. The first football practice of the year was held yesterday on Sanford field. Only twelve men were on hand and the squad was given a very light workout by Captain McWhorter and Assistant Coach Peacock. There will be several others out this afternoon, and next week many new faces will een on the field and the work of building a championship eleven for Georgia will begin in real earnest. Reports from the Yellow jackets’ camp state that Heisman is expect ing the best team Tech has ever had. His hope may be true but he’s got to go some to down the red and black. Prospects are not exceedingly brilliant at present hut the Georgia spirit is right here and it is our firm belief that Georgia will be one of the fore most contenders for championship honor*. Most of the members of the faculty, who have been away for the summer have arrived, and are ready to begin work once more. Prof. S. V. Sanford, NO JOKE. Our language surely is abused, AfCd humbug always clings; That’s why the biggest words are used To say the smallest things. —Cincinnati Enquirer. “Why won’t you buy something at ' -ay table?” demanded the girl at the charity fair. “Because I oolviujfrom,the home ly girls," sell «*, nan. -they have I a harder tithe making sales.” The wee not offended, and he V* deem the worirsd this righ t the Use.— CONSANGUINITY. “There seems to be a strange affin ity between a darky and a chicken. I wonder why?” said Jones. "Naturally enough,” replied Brown. “On# U descended from Ham and the ether from eggs.” The Wife—“Where have you been, Jack? ~ The Husband—Dewn to the movy drilling. You know this is drill niglt. “And is that where you got that pow3er on the lapel of your coat? ^Stateamau. a one of the most popular members of the faculty, and who has spent the last year in Europe, has been in town for several days and his many friends delighted to see the genial pro fessor again. Mr. Joe Marshburn, who was com nected with the library staff last year will take the place of Prof.- S. M. Salyer, who will be away on a year’s leave of absence. Mr. Chas. H. Stone will have charge of Mr. Marshbuni’ work in the library. The new school qf commerce that was recently organized will have good attendance this year and in short while will undoubtedly be one of the most popular departments of the University. Prof. R. E. Curtis, who is in charge of this course, has just arrived in the city, after being absent the "entire summer. Prof. Curtis is an excellent instructor and one of the best versed men in nomics in the South. The largdlft increase in attendance is expected in the schools of Law and Agriculture. The law school is pared in a measure to handle its in crease by the additional room it has secured, but one of the members of the faculty of the school of agricul ture-recently stated that they would scarcely have room in their depart ment to seat the members of the new freshman class. Mr. D. W. Johnston, captain of last year’s basket ball team is in the city and is seriously considering making Athens bis home. That Georgia boys like the city is also demonstrated by the fact that ten members of last year’s law class began practice of their professions here and two other alumni have accepted positions with the local high school. This column will be published ev ery day throughout the college year and we will endeavor to givp complete news of happenings on the campus, that will not only be of interest to college men but to the citizens of \thens in general. IDLE MOMENTS TWO TEACHERS. Elihu Root tells a story about him self and his efforts to correct the mannerr df his office boy. One morn ing the young autocrat came into the office and, tossing his cap at a hook, exclaimed: “Say, Mr. Root, there’s a ball game down at the park today and I want to go down.” # Now, the great lawyer was willing that the boy should go, but thought he would teach him a little lesson in good manners. “James,” he said, “that isn’t the way to ask a favor. Now, you sft down in my chair and I’ll show you how to do it properly.” The boy took the offifcB chair and his employer picked up his cap and stepped outside. He then opened the doer softly and, holding bis cap in his hand, said quietly to the small boy in the big chair: • “Please^ sir, there is a ball game at the park today; if yw'^an spare me I would like to get away for the af-» ternodn.’* ? K , , In a flash the boy “Why, certainly, Jimmie; and here is 50 cents to buy your way in.” — Ladies' Heme Journal. HOME INFLUENCE ON BOYS. Home influence is a strong factor in 'bringing up a boy for good. This is so not withstanding there is often a lack of organisation in the heme, and notwithstanding the father may be so engrossed ip other affairs that he is often * remiss in not taking- a more active interest in the direct edu cation of the boy. His strong in fluence, nevertheless, is felt indirect ly. The relation between parent and child cannot be lightly transferred tb another. The mother’s loving care and father’s wise counsel and firm guidance are vital to the proper growth of the boy, espeically in his formative years. Nothing else will do quite as well. No school, no in stitution, can quite take their place. —New York Evening Post. Old Lady (offering a policeman a tract)—I often think you poor police men run such a risk >Qf becoming bad being so constantly mixed up with crime. - Policeman—You needn’t fear;pum. It’s the criminals wet nuuuthd riik of becoming: saints, bein’ mixed up with us!—Punch.

Pat ripping them off with a pick and Mike toss- ^ ing them in great armfuls to the street below. As Mike was making his way along with an extra heavy load he slipped and slid down the roof, sweeping Pat the edge, Pat’s pick caught in' the drain trough and there he hung. With one desperate grasp Mike managed to cling to one of Pat’s legs, and they dangled there some mo ments, too frightened to peep. Finally Pat yelled: “Mike, let go me leg!” “I will not,” cried Mike. “Ye will that,” cried Pat. “I will not,’ muttered Mike. “Mike Tierney,” called Pat, madly, “if you don’t let go me leg I’ll hit ye wid this pick.”—Birmingham News. In Boston Town. Boston Five-Year-Old — Father, what is the exact meaning of the irse beginning, “Jack Sprat could t no fat?” Father—In simple terms it is as follows: Jack Sprat could assimilate no adipose tissie. His wife, on the other hand, possessed an aversion for the more muscular portions of epithe lium. And so between them both, you see, they removed all the foreign substances from the surface of that utilitation tensil commonly called a platter. Does that make it clear, son? Boston Five-Year-Old — Perfectly, father. The lack of lucidity in these Mother Goose rhymes is amazingly apparent. Revenge.
