AT LAST.

At last the use Of the mails
have been denied the publication
that has brought SO much dis
favor upon Georgia and long ago
demonstrated the venom, preju-
dice, and unfairness of Tom Wat
son who desecrated the name Of
Jefferson by calling his literary
abortion the "Jeffersonian F" In
denying this unreliable and bitter
publication the mails wrong was
righted, although late yet in time.
Too long had this sheet been
heralding over the country infam-
Gus falsehoods Of its own brand,
poisoning and prejudicing the
minds of the ignorant and Great
ing religious prejudices and bit
terness.
At last the source charging
Catholics with being dangerous,
with being unameric an. has prov
en- itself not only reasonable as
well as ibelous.
Had any Catholic organ been
guilty of the treachery against
the Government that this publlca-
ton has shown itself capable OF,
we never would have heard the
end of it. At present this
maligner Of everything Catholic
proves himself not worthy Of a
of Georgia should remove
this stain from their fair state,
and take steps to prevent any
further dissertation of the name OF
Thomas Jefferson being perpetu-
,ated upon such a monstroslty as
this magazine has proven itself to
be. 1t has been its delight to
place obstacles in everything our
Government has undertaken dur
ing the present crisls-no Catholic
has undertaken such tactics.-l

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

STRENUOUS EFFORTS
 ID CHECK ACTIONS OF TICKET SCALP PIERS
Arrangements Being Made to Prevent Speculation on Tickets to Worlds
 Series

Chicago, September 27.-Prosecution of scalpers of worlds series tickets on charges of conspiracy to extort probably will be attempted by States Attorney Maclay Hoyne, it was said tonight, after he held conference with Harry Grabiner secretary of the Chicago club of the American league.
 Grabiner told the state's attorney that despite every precaution the spectators were advertising that they will have tickets and are already talk miums of more than 200 per cent for reserved seats. They refuse to take orders for single seats and require deposits for the full series of three games. Prospective purchasers were told that their money would be re- funded if they returned the unused parts of the tickets before the game for which they are issued.
 Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago club, announced that not more than one ticket of the 17,000 pa- vilion and bleacher seats would be sold to any person and that the pur- chasers must go into the park as soon as he has purchased it, thus preclud- ing the possibility of scalpers having agents in line. These tickets, to be placed on sale on the day of the game, have face value of 50 cents and $15.
 Chief of Police Herman Schuettler said that he would take necessary to prevent scalping at the ball park Detectives and uni formed police would be assigned to watch for violations.

COACH THOMAS IS
 DRIVING CENTRAL
 CANDIDATES HARD
Difficult Time Being En- countered in Arranging Schedule-Prospects
 Are Bright

Rain yesterday prevented the regular afternoon practice for the Central High school football squad but Coach Thomas had his candidates busy in the gymna-
 sium throughout the shower After a stiff workout in the gymnasium, Coach Thomas went over some of his plays with his men and gave them a general outline of the work.
 Practice has been going on regularly since Monday, when Coach Thomas as- sumed charge of the squad At least 40 men are out daily and material is plen- tiful for the new coach.
 There is no reason according to early indications, that the team will be greatly weakened Although few regulars will not return, their places will be filled by scrubs from last years team and the abundance of raw material
 Hahn, halfback, and Rox, guard are the only regulars who will be missed Rox's place on the line will be hard to fill as he was one of the most aggres- sive and finished players in high school ball in the state.
 For the present practice Is being held in East park. Signals are being run while for the past two days Coach Thomas has been sending his men through some light scrimmage work.
 Great difficulty is expected in securing games for the eleven. The majority of the county high schools have not dis continued athletics but they are not pushing them as in previous seasons At any rate, Centraps team can be expected to be up to the standard

 on Objection of Lansing

Soldiers and Workmen Want to Abolish Shock BattaliOns

Petrograd. September 27.-The mili- tary section of the soldiers and work mems delegates has voted in favor of motion demanding the dissolution of shock battalions.'
 The reason given for this action is, first, from the viewpoint of principle, it is inadmissible that there should be in the army groups of privileged sol diers who arrogate to themselves the right to die for the liberty of the country when this right belongs to all soldiers; second that shock" battal- ions place the Russian army in the position of an army which refuses to defend liberty; and third. that shock" battalions diminish the capacity of the army by creating on one side a cate- gory of heroes. and on the other a mass of conscienceless soldiers.

 October 27: Vanderbilt, at Nashville.
 Negotiations are under way with sev- efal teams for games in November. Coach Longwell will try to book some team for clash here Thanksgiving Day
 Prospects at Howard are not exceed ingiy bright, chiefly due to the loss of numerous regulars on account of the war. Coach Longwell, however, has a number of promising youngsters, which he hopes to whip into formidable ag- gregation. Towards big game was au- tomatically cancelled when Birmingham college recently decided to discontinue football for 1917
 Nevertheless. Coach Longwell and his helpers are working regularly with the lot or green material and hopes for a winner at the Baptist institute are run ming high. It will take a mighty formid- able aggregation to show any strength whatsoever against three teams like Vandy, Auburn and Sewanee, and Coach Longwell Is working with these games in sight.

Meeting Is Again Continued. Seventh Heat Will Be Run Today-Driver
 to Be Fined

Columbus O., September 27.-Fifteen heats were raced this afternoon in four regular events and the unfinished 2:15 i trot from Wednesday and still it was im- possible te complete the meeting. a sev- enth heat being necessary to determine 1 the winner of the 2:1S trot which was unfinished when darkness came.
 The judges in their mind were con vinced that the race might have ended as a victory for Doris Watts had Driver Lee tried to win, and for that reason they took charge of the mare overnight and different driver will be behind her to compete in the seventh heat, which will be raced tomorrow
 In the 2;15 trot today of which five heats were raced on Wednesday, Mich ailowa won the sixth and deciding heat, with Stout apparently never attempting to win with Lotto Watts All bets made on the race after he fifth heat were declared off and a sentence on Stout was reserved until tomorrow.
 Two very heavily played favorites in other events were given a sound defeat this afternoon. William, after his loss of the free-for-all pace week ago, again was made favorite today. He failed to finish inside the money, Ben Earl win ming the first heat and Miss Harris M. the last two of the event, which was ! three-heat race. The wind was almost gale in the home stretch which kept time slow.
 Peter Nash was a big favorite to cap ture first money in the Arch City 2:10 pace purse S3000 but Ben Ali was master of the field and dashed away ahead from wire to wire He went to the three-quar ter pole the first heat in 1:301a.
 General Yorke was on the trot in the 2:11 event and won in straight.
 Jeanette Speed challenged strongly the third mile and the result was a first half in 1:021s.
