At this meeting, which will be held

DAWSON HIGH SCHOOL
WINS FROM LUNIPKIN BOYS
Baldwin and Jester Engage in Pitch
ers' Battle. Score 3 to I.

Baldwin and Jester Engage i'll Pitch
ers' Battle. Score to 1.
Last Wednesday the Dawson high
school team went to Lumpkin to en-
ter in the first baseball game of the
season. The locals won to l.
The game was replete with inter-
esting and unusual efforts and plays,
due to the youth and nervous
ness of the players and because of the
bad condition of the field. No box
score was kept, and it is impossible
to give an accurate account OF what
the players did individually. How
ever, this much can be said: Bald
win of Dawson and Jester OF Lump
kin were participants in the proverD-
ial pitchers battle, with BALDWIN
having the better record because or
more strike-outs, fewer hits ana pet
ter fielding behind him.
The Dawson team will play some
team here during this week and the
remaining weeks of the scholastic
year provided games can be arrang-
ed. 1t is therefore up to the Dawson
people and especially the patrons and
we'll wishers of the school to see TO
it that their boys have the support
and encouragement which ones pres
ence lends. 1t costs money to supply
even a high school team with balls,
bats and other paraphernalia just as
it costs to supply the town team with
the same. Both are equally import
ant. Therefore, if you are interested
in baseball show it by supporting
your teams-town and school-and
if the boys win congratulate them
if they lose encourage and support
them Just the same, for even profess
! SIGNALS sometimes lose.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Enul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing toriic force 1t IS free from alcohol.

Prank of MiscievOus Youngsters.
BERLIN, Ga.-While attempting
to demonstrate to a crowd of his
friends that he had the power to
walk upon water Richard A. Trice, a
Mitchell county farmer, came near
drowning last night. For years Trice
has assumed to have supernatural
power along certain lines. There are
those who believe that he can drive
away pain simply by laying his hand
upon the sufferer. Others hold that
he is the only fortune teller and real
weather prophet of his day and gen
GRAFTON. But recently some of Trice's
predictions have gone awry, and last
week Abe Johnson, who was driven
almost insane by an aching tooth,
failed to get relief though the oracle
of the community sought to drive
away the pain.
Trice felt that he was losing his
hold upon some of his followers. He
felt that he would have to put
something across that would restore
confidence in his ability. The right
idea came to him Sunday while he
was attending the service at a coun-
try church. He would walk upon
water. That would make 'em sit up
and take notice, Trice argued to him
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-05-03

After the service was over he went
out into the yard where a number
of men of the community were talk
ing and told them that he could walk
upon water. His assertion was greet
ed with derision, but this didn't faze
Trice. and he told the doubters that
he stood ready to prove his state
ment.

Trice told his friends. And they &C
cepted his invitation. Now, TTice
entertained no delusions about his
own ability, so he decided to fix Up
things for the performance. Monday
he went down to the pond, it is said,
and built a plank walk a few lncheS
under the water. 1t looked simple
enough and there was no reason why
it shouldn't work, Trice told him
self But it didn't work. A crowd
of boys who went in swimming IN
the pond yesterday afternoon TOOK
pains to see that it didn't work.
For lust as soon as they found the
plank walk they connected it with
Trice's ability to walk upon water,
Just at the point where the water
gets deep they sawed the plank so
nearly through that it would hold
only a few pounds without break
ing.
Makes Involuntary Pilgrimage.
Last night at the appointed time
Trice and his spectators were at the
pond. Trice waved his hands sky
ward and chanted few indistinct
words before starting out into the
water. He proceeded without the
least sign of effort, to the amazement
of the corwd of OnlOokers, but before
they were thoroughly convinced that
they were seeing with their own eyes
Trice reached the weak point in the
plank walk-and he shot downward.
He couldn't swim a stroke, and he
called Justify for help. Several men
went to his rescue.
