This Administration has been keeping an
army IN Mexico, where it went to get a salute
to our flag ,and the additional expense Of
maintaining the troops down there is esti-
mated at % 900 month. We have killed
several hundred Mexicans, lost nineteen of
our own boys, and squandered about $2OOOO,-

The President could have relieved the situa-

Deceive American
Catholics.
IN the city of New York there is a Roman
Catholic publishing house which does bust
ness under the name Of ''Benziger Brothers."
Its speciality is Roman Catholic literature.
Through this firm, you can buy the theologi-
cal works of st. Alphonsus Liguori, an Ital-
Ian priest who is dear to the heart Of all we'll
disciplined papists.
II you should happen to buy Saint Liguor
books, however, you'd better not print any Of
the contents
| was reckless enough to quote page or so
from the book of this Italian Saint. and the
Federal Government has been prosecuting me
about it ever since.
The Benzlger Brothers also publish a mag
azlne, which goes by their name
It is a handsome affair, costs lot Of money,
and is chock full Of papal mush
NO doubt 1t has a large circulation among
the papal mushrooms.
Anyway, its "Question Box is a source Of
great entertainment to me- though | often
feel indignant at the manner in which the
editor pulls the wool over the eyes Of ''true
believers"
For instance, an American Catholic asked
the following question:
DCttCCCG
Of course you will understand that the In
dex is the list Of books which Catholics are
not permitted to read.
The questioner was evidently lab0ring I'M
der the impression that bad bo0hS, only, were
placed on the Index.
The editor Of Benzigers Magazine ought
to have told him he was mistaken, and ex-
planned to him that the Roman Catholic
Church prohibited ali books which exposed
Popery and combatted the errors Of the
Church, or which showed that Popery is not
IN the Bible, is not in accordance with the
Primitive Christian church, and is a modern
institution which puts God and the Bible in
the background while the foreground is oc-
cupled by the worship Of Mary, Of Joseph,
OF Saints, of Images of Relics and other
paganistic adaptations.
Did the editor of Benziger's do this? Did
he explain the real purpose Of the Index?
by no means His answer to the question,
Why are bad books placed upon the Index?
Was
Because they are bad. The Church knows that
such books dangerous to faith or morals and
wishes to warn the children from reading them.
If the world only reasonable and fair
minded the Index, instead of being attacked by
non-Catholics, would be praised, not only as the
best way of combating evil literature, but as the
best means of advancing true literature
Now let me give you one example which
will prove that popery does not forbid the
reading Of books simply 'because they are
bad"

trlous names in literature, ancient or modern.

as $15, 900 Is Raised. Subscrip-
tions Now Amount to $4,000.

The movement for new building
at Brenau has made splendid prog
ress. Gainesville has been asked for
$4,000, and something over $4,000
has been subscribed. A total of ap-
proximately $4,000 has been made.
1t is announced that the work on
the building will begin just as soon
as $4,000 has been subscribed, but
it is expected that $25, 900 will be
required to complete the building as
planned. If present plans material
ize a portion of the building will be
ready for use at the opening of the
next term, Sept. 18th.
The progressive spirit of Brenau
is again manifest in the projection
of this enterprise. While Brenau is
non-sectarian the religious element
in education is fully appreciated, and
the new building will be the center
of the religious activities of the stu
dents. IN addition to the chapel,
mission study rooms, mission muse
UNI, Biblical rooms, etc, it will also
contain many delightful recreation
features, including a swimming pool.

Wins SERIES
locals Take First and Second Games
From Buena Vista and Loses
Ten.Inning No-Hit Game.

The second game Of the series be-
tween Dawson and Buena Vista was
so much of runaway that the nome
BOYS got too much exercise scoring
runs. But at the beginning the game
promised to be a good one. Red
Mosely and Gallagher were working
batteries for the visitors, while the
umpire announced Parsons on the
mound and Monahan behind for the
home boys.
In the opening inning an error,
walk. a sacrifice and two clean two
baggers Melted Dawson three runs.
But as turn about is only fair play,
Parsons let the visitors have a run in
both the second and third innings,
though they could touch the right
handler for only one hit. Then the
one. two, three order game was play
ed until the fifth, when Mosely let
one hit Goat Holiday on his pedal,
who Immediately got mad and stole
second. Then after two easy outs
Murray Dunn lifted a clean home run
from the visiting southpaw.
Never again did the visitors have
a chance to score, though the game
was very slow. Dawson didn't make
p register in either the sixth or sew
enth. and the score was 6 to 2 our
wav. AS there wasn't any chance
for us to have to play the last half
of the ninth and every man wanted
TO bat and Dozier wanted to bat
twice. as usual, the boys did as they
pleased and in the meantime scored
seven runs by hitting out two sim
giles. two doubles and taking advant-
age of two mean errors by Dacey and
SCHUYLER and free pass by Mosely
The B. V. boys could do no more
in the ninth than they had before, SC
Parsons broke up the old ball game
by striking Mosely out.

EMPIRE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Policy Holders Will Be Gratified to
Know Insurance Department Has
Declared 1t i'm Good Condition.

acknowledgements of policy
holders in Georgia and the South
in the Empire Life Insurance Com
pany of Atlanta will be gratified to
learn that the insurance department
of Georgia has declared the company
to be in a perfectly solvent condition.
Several days ago a petition was
filed in Atlanta alleging that the COM
pany was insolvent and asking re-
ceiver. The lawyers in the case were
supposed to be acting for James R.
Brown of Canton, Ga, a stakeholder.
w. w. Reid, president of the COM
pany, in a statement to the Insurance
Field, stated today that the petition
is not taken with any seriousness by
the officers of the company, owing to
the fact that the allegations are so
distorted as to eliminate any element
of real truth.
Particularly So" said Mr.. Reid,
lis this true of the statements made
about myself in the sale of stock to
Mr.. Brown. Heretofore Mr.. Brown
has always been on the best of terms
with us and expressed himself both
in person and in writing as we'll sat
isfied with his investment. 1t would,
therefore, appear that the filing of
the petition is more in the light of
malicious persecution agitated prob
ably by other parties with interest to
gain.
Our last statement with the state
insurance department shows us in a
perfectly solvent condition. 1t must
be remembered that the figures given
were not made by the officers at will
but by duly accedited representa-
tive of the insurance department in
his official capacity"
Similar suits have been filed
against numerous insurance compa-
mics recently, mostly by disgruntled
stockholders, and many on the film
siest of pretexts, and have been
thrown out of the courts. The in
surance commissioner states that
these suits seem to be filed now at
the within of almost any one.

DOzTER HURLs NO-HIT GAME.
But By 3fere Luck Buena Vista Wins
Out i'm Tenth Inning.

The first and second games had
been very easy for the home boys,
but in the tn I'd the visitors were de-
termined to win, so they sent Red
Dacey of Georgia State fame in to
do their heaving, and even sent to
the city of Plains to secure Brannon
to do their receiving. But the home
boys were just az determined to win,
so Manager Kenyon picked Billy"
Dozier to pitch a winning game for
him and of course 'Mony'' had to
work with Perry.
In the initial inning the B. V. boys
could do nothing except wait and
Dacey caught four wide ones after
Clements was an easy out Dozier to
Holiday. Then Bridges few out to
right garden, while Gallagher gave
three man-size swings.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-07-17

In our half HARRISON and Holiday
hit easy ones to the infielders, but
bud Barnard did not like this style
of ball, so he led off with the first hit
of the game, but the best Crouch
could do was to pop out to first.
The second and third innings for
B. V. were /, 2, and out, for Do
zier had them going and struck out
three of these six. The home boys
followed suit IN their half of the
third, for Higgins, Dunn and Mona
han were easy outs. But it was in
our half of the third that things be-
gan to brighten. Tillman hit a hot
one to short, which Clements fielded
beautifully, thus making one out.
am sure Mr.. Dacey has heard of
those home runs Dozier has been
wading into, so Dozier went to first
by the big four route. Harbi sent a
single to center, which Gallagher
trapped beautifully, but the jumps"
eye was a little too quick for him and
Gallagher couldn't say he made a
shoestring catch. In the meantime
Dozier was waiting at the second sta
ton. Then Goat Holiday did his
best, but their right fielder caught his
balloon. Dozier went to third and
HARRISON to second. Barnard was up
and a man on second and third-he
must have been too anxious, for he
popped to Dacey.
! The fourth, fifth and sixth innings
were all one, two, and three-Dozier
tanning one in the fifth and two in
| tile sixth. In the last half of the
fourth John Henry led off with two
Dagger, but could get no further than
third before it was time for him to
go back to his center garden. Only
six men faced Dacey in the fifth and
siyth innings, and "Gally" caught
four of these out.
The next three innings were classy,
for never more than three men faced
either pitcher.
Dozier had gone for a full game
nine long innings-and no form of =
| hit was made off his delivery-and
still he smiled and said we'll get
'em yet.
In the tenth Bridges popped out to
Dunn. Gallagher hit a long fly to
right, which HARRISON, after long
hard down-hill run, muffed, Gala
CHER going to second. Then Hirsch-
berg hit an easy one to Dozier, who
must have caught it on the saliva
side, as he threw over Holidays
head and Gallagher scored. BrannOn
and Moore we're easy outs, but the
visitors were one run to the good
while the home boys had gotten only
to the third corner
In Dawson's half of the tenth Hig-
gins baIlooned to center, Dunn mis-
Judged three-making two outs
Monahan, who was next up, out
guessed Dacey and walked, but the
best Tillman could do was to try tt
make good his three intentions.
