Kimsey, of the northeastern cir cuit, passed an order allowing the sale of the Gainesville, Jefferson and South: ern Railroad on June 21st in Gaines ville. The road has been operated by a receiver for several years, and the litigation has been going on incessant ly. It is said that the Georgia Rail road, with which it connects at Social LEESBURG, GA., FRIDAY. MAY 13. 1904, Circle, will- be the purchaser of the line. The railroad is 50 miles long, running from Gainesville to Social Cir cle, a branch line going to Jefferson. It is understood that the Georgia will broaden the gauge from Social Circle to Winder, where it crosses the Sea board Air Line. s % = From Augusta to Elberton. The Augusta and Elberton Rat'way Company was organized at a meesting of the stockholders in Augusta the past week, with the youngest presi dent of any railroad in the United States. The president selected is Bruce Young, who is not yet 25 years of age, but has shown remarkable ap titude in business and the law. ; Construction of the road will be gin June 1, and the first 20 miles will have traing running over it December 1. The rapidity of the construction ot the first 20 miles is rendered possible by the fact that the roadbed for this length has already been graded by the old Augusta and Chattanooga road and has been bought by the Augusta and Elberton. : | *% = 1 Morris Makes Statement. | Hon. N. A. Morris, of Cobb county ' whose recent contest for the nomina. tion as judge of the Blue Ridge cir—l cuit was decided by the state executive ‘ committee against him and in favor of Judge George F. Gober, the incum bént, has made a statement with re gard to the matter since the result of the committee’s action was given to the public. In speaking of the action of the commitee, Mr. Morris said in part: “lI contested Judge Gober’s nomina tion because it was due to my friends and to me that the matter should be taken before the state democratic executive committee and a full, fair opportunity asked to demonstrate that I was fairly nominated in the primary, but was counted out. : “l took the matter before the ex ecutive committee and stood ready with the proof to sustain the charges I made and demonstrate the fact of my nomination. The committee by a majority vote sustained the technical plea filed by Judge Gober, and held that the party machinery was without any power to correct this fraud or to protect the primary election under the system that prevails in Georgia. “I feel that I have done what was due to my friends and myself in press ing the matter to this point. I passed! up to the party organization the re sponsibility for condoning a fraudu lent primary, and I will not contest it further. : SR k] l “] wish you would say to my fri-ends‘ over the state that I had Judge Gober beaten by from 1,500 to 2,000 major ity when the determination was arriv: ed at in Washington, D. C., by certain leading politicians and other interests that figure in politics in this state, that it was necessary that I should be defeated. Senator Clay came down about ten days before the election and proceeded to use his entire influence to compass my defeat. He remained and actively canvassed against me un til the election was over. . “In addition to this during the last few days of the campaign large sums of money were disbursed on beha!f of Judge Gober’s election throughout the circuit. “After the primary and pending my contest before the executive commit tee, these same influences that started this movement in Washington, contin ued their fight and but for this I am satisfied that the result would have been different.” *» % =% Want Immigration Department, A department of immigration is pro posed for Georgia by the Greater Geor: gia Association. The general assem bly of the state will be asked during iL its June meeting to make an appro priation of $200,000 for the purpose of carrying on the work. | - This was practically agreed upon during a recent meeting of the exec: utive committee of the association in ‘Atlanta. The suggestion was made in( the annual report of the president of the Greater Georgia Assbciation, Jv K Orr, of Atlanta, and it was well re ceived by the members of the ~om mittee. It is probable that a concerted ef fort will be made along this line dur ing the meeting of the Legislature The ennual convention of the Greater Georgia Association will be held in At lanta on June 28, and during that meet ing it is probable that steps will be taken to have the attention of the gen eral] assembly directed to the work that has been done for the state by tne association during the past year. . B % Athletics and College Life. | Athietics is the art of training the body by indulgence in games and other athletic exercises. The health of the body is thu; ministered to, and through it the health of the intel lectual and mora] nature of man. The University and other leading colleges permit athletics, though un der wholesome regulations and careful supervision. - To stimulate more In terest in the various kinds of bodily exercises, the students are also per mitted to have contests with the stu dents of other institutions. To meet the needs and wants of all, a great variety of games and exercises are provided: The regulations governing athlet ics are as follows: The University 3hall be conducted under the rules of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Asso: ciation. No student is permitted to take part in games without the con sent of parent or guardian. No student who is behind in his work can accom pany the teams away from Athens. The health of each player is most carefully looked after and he is not permitted to play if ‘his physical con dition does not warrant it, No long trips are permitted if they take the students away from their college work for more than a few days. | The number of games is strictly lim ited. There is a widespread feeling that football is too rough a game to bé permitted, but those most competent to judge—those who have playel the game for years—are most enthusiastic in considering it the .very game to ’make strong, courageous, self-coatroll ed men. As to the talk of its “brutal ity,” that is nonsense, as is evidenced by the fact that a high-tempered, bru tal man cannot hold his place on a team for long, and the further fact that hundreds of refined, quiet, self reliant men have played football for years, only to have their physical health improved by the strict training, and their characters deepened by the ISSUED EVERY FRIDAY AT ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. self-restrain imposed upon them by the discipline. The element of daager in football exists in all sports, and to a larger extent in some, as in skat ing, swimming, sailing, hunting, etc. The training required at the Univer sity is very rigid. Sweetmeats, ilco holic drinks (or milder) of all kinds. smoking and all things calculated to injure or weaken the body are abso lutely forbidden. Regular hours raust be kept. No dissipation of any kind is allowed. Whenever a team leaves Athens a member of the faculty ac companies it. The expenses of these trips are, of course, borne by the Ath letic Association. The time lost in athletics is small, and good studcnts are easily able to make it up. The trips -have an educative value, also, and many students whose limited means will not allow them to travel much, have an opportunity of going with the team, at no expense to them selves, stopping. at the best hotels, traveling often in private cars, and seeing a great deal of our own south land, visiting other states and other colleges and hearing their ideas of things improved by the wider view. Thus in the past few years Univer sity teams have played in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, N. C.; Spar tanburg, Columbia and Clemson, S. C.; Nashville, Knoxville and Sewanee, Tenn.; Montgomery, Birmingham and Auburn, Alla.; Atlanta, Macon, Colum bus, Augusta and Savannah, Ga. Next fall the state of Mississippi will be visited. The subject of athletics has had the earnest consideration of <Chanceilor Hill for several years, and we believe that we are getting out of it the max imum good with the least possible in jury to any one by the system now in vogue here.
