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. : |

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.

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

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.
