themselves came back safely in
the inside pocket of Frank f. Gala
way, president of the Crackers, when
the major returned from his eventful
journey to the East.
Mr.. Galloway was much cheered
by the coming across of Mcconnell
He had talked to a number of mag
mates in New York and vicinity, and
everyone had good work for Andy
and a congratulation for the Crack
ers in getting him.
George Stallings, Wilbert Robinson
and Otis Clymer all had nice things to
say about Andy.
HNT r. STALLINGS says he's the
4'I best lead-off man in the bust
ness" said Mr.. Galloway. ALSO,
he's a fine fielder and a sure hit
ter, being especially good at the bat
when the hit-and -run is signaed, be-
cause he has a fine batting eye, and
rarely fails to hit the ball when he
needs to
'Then again. Mcconnell is veter-
an, and knows the game from one end
to the other, outside and inside. Stall
lings says candidly that he expects to
see Andy back in the big show after
one year in the Southern League
THE reason for McConnells rather
ordinary showing in 1913 was at
tributed by all who knew him to ILL
ness and to the fact that he did not
get along well with the Toronto man
agement. In 1912 he led the Intelna
tional League in fielding, and batted
1926. Then his salary was cut, and
the little intielder lost a good deal Of
interest in the game.

NOME of the magnates, figur-
y ing that the Federal League
will soon blow up in smoke,
or perhaps as a warning to play
ers that are still flirting with the
new organization, are proclaiming
that the players who Jump" to
the Feds will be blacklisted. They
do not use the word blacklist. but
that Is what they mean.
There won't be any black isted
players. however. whether the
Federal League sinks or swims.
The public will not stand for the
blacklist in baseball.
or course, there may be a gen
tleman's agreement" among the
magnates of organized baseball
not to take back certain players,
but it can be safely wagered that
these certain players will be those
that would be of little use to the
clubs that formerly owned"
them
Any first-class ball player or
any player that is badly needed
will be taken back by the big
league clubs and no questions
asked.
T HE big moguls OF baseball are
doing considerable talking
over in New York. OF course,
Murphy. of Chicago, and Ebbets.
of Brooklyn, are the principal
shouters. Murphy is worried.
The plan to put an American
Association club in Chicago
doesn't please him a bit. He
foresecs that if there was a third
club in Chicago his enemies
would arrange a schedule that
would give him the worst of It in
the conflicting dates.

the two big leagues have had 1t

magnate for a long time. They

popish structures necessary to r6e Popes
Holy old game Of hum bugging mankind
The building of Y. M. G. A. houses on mill
tary reservations, or other public land, is
altogether wrong.
No church whatever, and no Association
made up Of church members to do religious
work has any business grabbing public land
or money.
One reason why it is now SO hard to check
the Pope's greedy gang, is that Protestant
bodies have set precedents that tend toward
the gift of State money for church purposes.
The next time any Protestant church, or
Y. NJ C. A. bunch, go to any Of our Depart
ments begging that our laws be violated in
their favor, [ hope that Judge Advocate
General Crowder will slap them in the face
Just as hard as he did those New York Catho-
lies.
A few more rulings like that, will bring
the churches to their senses, and our so-called
Protestants will quit ralzing chestnuts out of
the fire for the papists

DON'T abuse me about 1t: JUST TELL NE
WHEN AND WHERE JESUS CHRIST
ORDERED Any SUCH MANIACAL
CRIME AGAINST OUR OWN PEOPLE,?
Fourth: When and where have the separate
Baptist churches authorized those aristocrats
OF the Richmond Board to go ahead Identify
ing themselves with Christ, making all sorts
OF luxurious arrangements with the MISSION
aries, paying them salaries that are unjust to
the home pastors, grating on to the salary
the bounty for child getting, allowing
yearly idle-time of three months on full g1y,
enabling them to live in a style of comfort
and splendor that is scandal to those q0ho
kn'oo0 the facts?
Fifth: When and where did the Baptist
churches authorize the editors of The Chris
tom Indew to publish them to the world as
lot Of dishonest defaazters, because those
churches do not promptly furnish all the
money needed by the 0bssvdzy ertrov0ga9at
and W'a-Scrtptettu1 methods Of the Richmond
Board?
Sixth: Why has The Zmdeu not had the
fairness and the honesty to publish the latest
letters Of such foreign missionaries as Rev
L. E. McCrea, who are trying to open the
eyes OF our people and our churches to the
stupendous folly of the present management?
| have waited on The Inde9 long enough:
next week those suppressed facts will be in
The Jefers0na0n.
1t is a downright shame that those honest
and consecrated foreign missionaries, a07a0 are
IN the field and q0ho kaooqO the facts, are not
allowed to reach the churches and the people.
Zhey are suppressed.
WHY?
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-02-12

OF Madame D'Abrantes, of Madame Campan,
Of Crokers Letters and Journals, Of the
Greville papers and scores of others.
George Fox's Diary is equally negligible
as that Of Wesley, considered as history.
Give child Dickens History of England,
and then Green's Short History, and then
if he wants more-the monumental works Of
Austin and Knight; theqo indeed. the youth
will really know the real history of the Eng
fish people.
AS to getting such knowledge out Of those
Diaries of Fox and Wesley, they did not pos
sess the knowledge themselves.
/ hope nobody will think my opinion of
these Diaries as histories, detracts from my
very high respect for the two fine men who
wrote those Journals.
But as to j. H. Newman's book, the Apollo
gia, different issue arises
j. IL. Newman, was our dear old turn coat,
John Henry Newman, wasn't he?
How does that poor old foot kisser get into
the same bed as stalwart, pope-hating John
Wesley?
And hoa0 does splendid advertisement Of
CardSrsaJ Neqcnt0pe's popish book get into
Deer Doctor Lovetts paper?
John Henry Newman was educated at pub
lie expense, as an Episcopalian. AS an Epis-
copalian, he wrote the beautiful hymn, LEAD,
Kindly Light
But as he grew old he fell into first one
vagary and then another, until at length he
fell at Papa's feet and kissed the most Holy
and most Adorable toe
Then John Henry went the whole hog, and
published tracts, books, &c, in which he
vowed that he believed that marble statues
could wink or cry; that the italian hut at
Loretto was the veritable house which Joseph
and Mary had lived in and which the angels
had air-shipped to Italy; and that the mira
cles which priests work on old bones, &C., are
no joke.
There wasn't single mental abasement,
mental surrender, and reputation of Reason
and Common Sense, that old John Henry
Newman, in his dotage did not make to Plus
the Ninth the Pope who had the two lovely
bastard daughters.
Yet, Dear Doctor Lovett is advising the
Methodists to read after Cardinal Newman.
Why. then, should they read after John
Wesley?
If what the Roman Catholic Cardinal
wrote is good literature for Methodists,
maybe it might be still better for them to
read ST. Thomas Aquinas, Saint Liguori, and
that most robust foot-kisser, Peter Dens.

and Shot?

Pleading the latest issue of my and your
and our official organ, The Christian
Inde@, fills me with alarm, apprehension, fear,
trembling, rgors and quakes.
1t seems that the military is to be called
out again, headlines traced in the air, and
orders given to "SAo0t-to-hiUE" by our
beloved brethren Bell and Graham, because
We are not sufficiently educated on this great
and growing question of Foreign Missions.
It's awful
What makes it worse, from my point of
view, is the belief on my part that while the
troops might appear to be aiming around
lmpartially, the guns would point their most
business ends at me.
There on the front page of the Index, where
they ought to have had a Dove of Peace
and the Soft Answer that mitigates wrath,
they have terrible war-whoop of an edito-
rial, written on the kettle drum, and pitched
to the scale of "The Campbells are Coming!"
Not wishing to lose any Of my radium-
which with me, is as scarce as patience is
with some red-headed humans quote only
one paragraph from my dear brethren of the
Index:
The churches of Georgia, every one of them
are responsible for the support Of all the objects
of the Georgia Baptist Convention. This includes
the raising of 100000 for Foreign Missions and
100000 for Home Missions. These are debts of
the churches to the missionaries and to their fell
loWmen who in spiritual restitution. No
church has any right, Notwithstanding it's indie
pendence, to shirk the payment of these debts.
Though the methods employed may not be the
best, either for raising the money for eXpend-
ing it, the methods own creations, well
the debts; and these obligations must be dis
charged.
Now, dear brethren, talk like that, calls for
more talk.
First: When and where did the independent
Baptist churches surrender their independ-
ence to the Southern Baptist Convention?
Don't cuSs me: TEACH Me-
Second: When did the Baptist churches
authorize that extremely expensive Board
that sits in glory, at Richmond, Virginia, and
makes debts in the name of the So. Bap. Con-
ynntion?
