SPANS Queen Real Mother to the Three Sturdy
Children New Idea With European Royalty

When King Alfonso OF Spain went to
England to seek royal spouse his
people declared themselves satisfied
with his choice.
I'VE want good normal woman to
be the mother of our future rulers"
was the common-sense II rank state
ment heard on every side In Spain.
Queen Victoria has proved herself a
euccessful mother. Her three children
are as healthy as the babes Of the
sturdiest peasant And she brings
them up as simply as though their
home were a cottage In place OF pal
ace.
In this picture her maternal spirit Is
very strongly expressed. She Is un-
doubtedly pressing softly the fingers
OF her second con to assure him that
che will protect him. The royal moth
or is more interested I'm her children
than how her picture looks. She Is
not facing the camera with the
Thought of her own expression but
that her babies pictures may be good.
This IA evident from her picture.
The heir apparent to the crown
OF Spain, the prince Of the Austrias, is
standing at her side. He was born
Nav 10. 1907, less than year after
her marriage to the king Of Spain. His
brother. the Infante Jair1i, first saw
the light the following June "a, while
Just lacking a day year later the
baby girl. Beatrice, who sits In her
mothers lap, was born.
Queen Victoria of Spain Is very
nanny IN her children. She has de-
elared her intention OF having more
children than her grandmother (good
old Queen Victoria OF England), Tor
whom she was named and whose Ia
vorite she was.

Too Much for Education.
Up In the city Of Lynchburg there has
been started . demand that the state
shall not make any increase to her edu-
cational Institutions. The demand u that
there shall be q reduction In the number
OF institutions for higher learning. There
are some half q dozen normal schools,
and the opinion - expressed that the best
interests are to be subserved by abandon
ing these institutions and centralizing on
the state female normal at Farmville, and,
possibly. one other. so that the course
may be made complete and the best re-
suits obtained without having to main
tain what may be inferior institutions
Then there Is q demand that the course
in some OF the other institutions, those
for boys, be merged, SO that there shall
not be three or four schools teaching the
same courses-especially the scientific
courses. This demand is in line with the
tfonal commission.
Tobacco Sales Are Closed.
Reports from the various tobacco mar
kets of the state received here say that
sales have been generally suspended till

Of the total crop has been sold by the
farmers. and the prices have been uni
formly better than last year, though the
quality seems very much better than the
old crop. A majority Of the farmers VINO
have closed out their crops have done so
in order to settle up their affairs by the
end of the year. though many OF them
have disposed Of the lower grades and
held the best for the higher prices that
will come with the spring Of the year.
which is believed to be certain In view or
the short crop and the demand for the

established brands up to standard.
Frees Many Prisoners.
Justice John today freed many of the
jailbirds which he Gagged some time ago.
There were some fifty or more Of these
offenders-all old friends OF tho police
justice-who were liberated in order that
they might spend Christmas in their
homes and not be compelled to eat a
prison fare on the one day OF the year
when all Is happy and bright and joyous
The justice is perfectly aware that they
will all be back to see him before the
end of the first month in the year. and
he will send them down again. There
are some of the oldtimers whom no has
repeatedly sentenced to serve life terms,
and they have walked back to the prison
detected, but in the goodness of his heart
he opens up and liberates them on the
one day when they should be at home or
with friends. They are mostly the dere-
licts Of the world--men who are unable
to refrain from drinking too much when
ever they have a chance.

Malta Loses Again

In a hotly contested ball game the
local boys lost last Sunday to Glasgow
4 to 2. Playing on model diamond
and under almost perfect conditions
the game Sunday proved to be the
snappiest of the season. The rooters
on both sides were held in suspense
until the last moment. Bunching of
hits and errors by Malta was respon-
sible for Glasgow's gaining lead in
the eighth which Malta could not
overcome. Only one incident marred
the game-the injury to Clarence Cos
ner. This contributed somewhat to-
ward keeping the boys from scoring
in the ninth. This game will show
to the local croakers that Malta is in
the race with the best of them to the
finish. The game for next Sunday is
scheduled with Harlem at Harlem.
