at night, and not keep every one waiting for
the mail until Sunday morning.

vene a special session to take action

Macon Telegraph: There seems to be
general satisfaction among the law-abiding
people of Macon over the mayors ordinances
making it Enable offense for women to
drink or loiter in barrooms. In view Of the
fact, however, that there are many places
in Macon where groceries and liquors are

some discussion as to whether this rule ap-

matter plain to the police force, aud show
them how they were to act in such cases,
Chief Kenan, while reviewing squad No. !

arrests. You must, to a large extent, be
guided by the actions and previous charac-

them in their own house for doing the same
thing. But where any woman goes into a
barron, or a store connected Herewith, and
drinks and loafs, and acts in a disorderly

arrest her Immediately. 1t is your duty &
enforce the spirit of the ordinance, which
think your Judgment will teach YOU how II
