Nettled Over Deposed
King and Bride’s Title
was Recently Chronicled A 3
‘King Manuel and Queen
Augusta Victoria.”
London.—Another little difference
Wroveen Buckingham Palace, over
which Queen Mary preides, and Marl
borough House, of which Queen Moth
er Alexandra is mistress, has arisen,
this time over the titles by which the
deposed King Manuel of Portugal and
his bride are to be known officially.
When the exiled king and his bride
were entertained by the Queen Mother,
recently, the Court Circular, issued
from Marlborough House, described
them as “King Manuel and Queen Au
gusta Victoria.” This was interpreted
as a sign that King George had of
ficially sanctioned this description of
the royal couple and the press, fol
lowing rs it invariably does the fash
ion set by royalty, published it as a
fact. An official denial was quickly
forthcoming and it was announced
that King George had decided that the
ex iling and his wife were to be known
and referred to only as Dom Manuel
and Dona Augusta Victoria- As the
King's decision is binding on all the
members of his family, including his
mother, it is probable that any fu
ture references in the Court Circular
even those emanating from Marlbor
ough House, will thus refer to the
young couple.
In circles that side with the Queen
Mother in her little differences with
Queen Mary, it is said that the King’.?
decision was dictated by Queen Mary,
who thus emphasizes that she, and
not Alexandra is now the arbiter in
matters of this kind.
Famous London Aviators
Say They’ll Cross Ocean
Lond°n. —Will 1914 see a continu
ous non-stop flight by hydro-aero
plane from London to New York?
If certain famous aviators in Lon
don are to be believed, 1914 certainly
will. From what aviatofs have told
me the only thing necessary for the
flight is an engine sufficiently pow--
erful to carry the hydro-aeroplane at
a great speed and suffiicently strong
to stand the continuous wear. Such
an engine is now in course of con
struction in London today.
The 2,000 odd miles to New York
would be covered at a rate of 70 miles
an hour, I am Informed. A compart
ment would be attached to the hydro
aeroplane which would allow the
i] Hots to relieve each other. While
one was on duty the other would
sleep. It is also possible that the
hydro-aeroplane would carry wireless
and be conveyed by a cruiser or mer
chant vessel.
Whether the trans-Atlantic flight
is accompanied in 1914 remains to
be seen, but there is no doubt in my
mind but that it will be attempted,
and probably by more than one pair
of aviators.
CAN N. Y. DETERMINE WHO
MAY TAKE PART IN RING?
If Fitzsimmons Gains Decision,
Then “Mixed” Bouts Question
to Courts.
New York —On the decision of Jus
tice Seabury relating to the applica
tion of Bob Fitzsimmons, for an in
junction restraining the state athletic
commission from preventing the vet
eran fighter from taking part in box
ing bouts, hinges a most important
question in boxing affairs. The issue,
aside from determining the former
ebaimpion’s eligibility, is whether the
state athletic commission is cloaked
with proper authority to determine wh
shall and who shall not take part in
boxing bouts in New York state.
If Fitzsimmons should gain a de
cision in his favor then the question
whether the commission has the right
to pass a rule prohibiting "mixed”
bouts, contests between a white man
and a negro, probably will be carried
to the courts.
OXFORD HAS POSSESSION
OF OLD ROWING BARGE
Is Boat in Which Crew in 1829
Rowed and Won the First
Inter-Varsity Race.
New York.—The Oxford University
peat nub has regained possession of
the rowing barge in which the Oxford
crew of 1829 rowed and won the first
inter-varsity race against Cambridge
University on the Thames river near
London on June 10. 1829. The boat,
which !* 45 feet long and 4 feet 1
Inches wide at the middle, is con
structed of nine streak or lap boards,
a keel and a gunwale. A long plank
runs the length of the center of the
boat and the thwarts are supported by
ingle upright iron stays. The heavier
material is spruce, the smaller ribs
Hsh. and the main timbers oak. The
thowl pins are narrow and the oars
men sat at the extreme opposite end
of the seat in rowing.
The boat was used for a number of
gucceedlng races, and some ten years
later was stored in an old boat house
at Oxford as unfit for further use. In
1841 Sir Robert Menxles. then a stu
dent and oarsman at Oxford, pur
chased the boat and- had It shipped
to Loch H-tnnock. There the historic
grandfather of all racing shells re
mained until his death, when It was
sold with other rellca of Castle Men-

Augusta’s “Shoeshine King” Has
Made Purchase of $6,000 Worth of
Property at 9th and Calhoun Sts.
Nicholas Blanos, Who Knows How to Save the Nickels and
Dimes, Makes Purchase Through Hackett & Bell. A Num
ber of Local Greeks Have Invested Money in Real Estate.
Augusta has a thriving colony of
Greek citizens, a number of whom are
investing their earnings in local real
estate. The latest purchase of Au
gusta realty by a Greek is the north
west corner of Calhoun and Ninth
Streets, for which Nicholas Blanos,
the “Shoeshiue King,” paid $6,000.
The deal was made through Hackett
& Bell.
Blanos, who paid almost the en
tire $6,000 in cash, only a few years
ago established a shoeshine parlor on
Eighth Street, near the Genesta Ho
tel. Later he opened up one on Broad
Street, near Gardelle’s Drug Store
and a short time ago opened one In
the lobby of the Harlson Building
Blanos has saved his nickels and
dimes with the result that he is able
to • purchase property for Investment
purposes, which will bring him In a
comfortable Income.
Only a very short time ago Hackett
zies. Thus after seventy years the
primitive racing craft has returned to
the scene of its earlier triumphs and
history making.

who calls himself James Smith, be

ing Skarmoutsos, the property now
occupied by Hickey’s Barber Shop,
just across Eighth Street from Smith’s
New York Case, for $17,000, the high
est price ever paid for real estate
off Broad Street. Smith has been of
fered a substantial profit on his pur
chase already.
Not long since Ell Manlatas, the
Greek who sells hot wlnnles about
town, purchased one of the corners
of Telfair and Twelfth Streets,
through Hackett & Bell also, and
there have been other purchases made
by Greeks In Augusta during the past
few years.
Lessons in thrift of a wonderful na
ture are taught by all of the Greeks
for they know the old adage to be
a true one, "save the nickels and
dimes and the dollars will take care
of themselves.”
sioners of prison, however, do not sea
in this a desire on the part of the
Hcotch to gave money by non-payment
of the fine, but rather that tho fines
Imposed in Scotland are excessive and
out of proportion to tho means of the
persons fined.

these two months being almost ten
per cent of the total business passing

All Winter Poods Are Marked at Low Prices Now.
January is the logical month in which to expect unusual savings because at no other period of
the year are “savings” so necessary to give.
It is a month when clearings are compelled—not prepared for in advance by special purchases.
Surplus stocks must be disposed of, odds and ends sacrificed and slow sellng merchandise sold for
what it will bring.
Room must be created for new goods. Greater business activity is sought throughout the store.
And therefore the inducement of low prices is logical. It is the incentive that accomplishes
much for both of us.
