Knowing how people are given to
lying during a safe of war tn1
charging monstrous cruelties on the
enemy which are either purely myth
cal or grossly exaggerated, we give
King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, the
benefit Of the doubt and until better
evidence to the contrary is produced,
accept his denial and acquit his troops
Of the wholesale massacres of Greek
and Servian noncombatants charged
against them. And while we are
about it, we might as well say that
We discount all the old stories of
Turkish cruelties prior to and dur
Ing the Balkan war fifty per cent

enemies has been a pccalar form of
turritude ever since the Father OF
Lies taught his first class in prevari-

Through the persistent efforts of
the Woman's Civic League of Live
Oak that city is to get a park of the
regulation character. Hardly any
thing Live Oak could do would be
more helpful to it in the matter OF
drawing the favorable attention of
visitors, to say nothing of the COM
fort it would furnish to the citizens.
Lakeland's park is a priceless asset,
a continuous source of pleasure and
an advertisement which has drawn
the favorable attention of thous-
ards and will continue to do so
through all the future. The modern
city, large or small, without one or
more parks, is as conspicuous in
critical eyes for what it has not as
for what 1t has.

The Senate did right, of course, to
Vote down the BristOw resolution
calling on the President to state
what salary would induce Mr.. Bryan
to stay at his post as Secretary Of
State instead of going around the
country delivering lectures for pay.
The resolution was almost insulting
and was not needed to inform Mr..
Bryan of the public sentiment of the
Country on the matter at issue. He
has been effectively rebuked without
official action from any source. Ii
re should persist in his lecture
scheme, it will probably be at the
price of his political future in the
Democratic party.

OF leaving bonfres burning owe

back of Main street stores. In sew

started quite a blaze, and with a
brisk wind these fires have menac-

Several such fires have been found

near the wood sheds and ware

them going at night is the heighth
of carelessness. A very good plan
has been adopted by those who
have especially made rubbish fur
naces. screened in so that burning
paper, ETC., cannot be thrown away
by the wind, and set far enough
from the buildings so that there is
no danger of the fire spreading.
Several neighboring merchants
could use the same furnace, which
would reduce the cost to almost
nothing, considering what this pre-
caution might prevent in the matter
of fire loss. 1t is better to take this
matter up at once, and not wait for
a disastrous fire to prove its ne

The Season IS To 10

Prof. Ames took his little base

of the score, but it was some game
until the rain joined the sport and
made it wading match. The high
is team of recruits, but this is
what they did, McLarin, same who
pitched for Galahad in 1910, was on
the mound for them again, and in
the first inning Moline, Lowe and
Doug Smith got next to him i'm
order for singles; Beebe struck out,
Loucks got a sacrifice and d. BEN
nett singled, three runs netting.
For Galahad McLennan struck out,
Boutin walked and scored on Tay-
lor's triple, and Taylor was out on
the plate when a beautiful relay
from Beebe to Bennett to Moline
caught him trying to make it a
homer, and Sibley was out to D.
Smith. Nothing doing in the
second, except that. three Galahad's

nothing, though d. Smith and Bee
be both singled. Then it began to
rain, and two BASES on balls,
strike out that slipped from the
catcher, and two scratch singles
got two for Galahad. The first
half of the 4th was nothing, and
then it did rain. The ball was wet
and slippery, and hit and two
passes filled the bases, and M. Ben
nett was sent into the box, Smith
going into the field. Bennett started
nicely, two retiring, then three hits,
pass and two infeld errors netted
5 runs, and the inning and rain
ended together, score 8 to 3 for
Galahad. After high had gone out
in order, Galahad followed suit,
Smith again facing them on the
mound, Beebe and Loucks sin gled,
Loucks walked, and Manion, sent
to bat for Chapman, got another,
scoring two, and Bennett, ]. Smith,
Moline and Lowe followed with hits,
netting runs, and then the deluge.

liked it, and succession of hits
