The Choir.

Hu"dru MChenZle Is q born choir
director. Going out of the tabernacle
with the rest Of the big crowd last
night, a young fellow was heard to
make the remark: That man who
looks after the music certainly is a
jolly fellow" and whether or not he
nit upon the reasOn for Mr.. McKen-
zie's success in bringing out the mu-
sic, where any music whatever exists.
1T is a fact that the way in which Mr..
Mckenzie has whipped his choir into
shape (iterally speaking of course)
on such short notice, is extraordinary.
to say the least. The singing yester-
day afternoon and night was one of
the big features of the services. and
even II the rules Of the tabernacle
didn't require it, everybody would
have to take hats off to Mckenzie"
And not alone does he get his choir to
produce, but he picks out songs to
sing that it does one good Just to
hear. AS Mckenzie said when he
started the choir to singing Jesus In
Guided Me-" you folks are going to
be whistling that tune before you.
know it," and after hearing the song,
no "a can say it hasn't a catchy
melody that's worth whistling just for
the good cheer it radiates. 80
Mr. Mckenzie is a singer himself.
too, and vastly pleased his audience
by rendering two vocal solos, one
each afternoon and night. 81.
The music makers, who sit Just a,

.ano, and who are Sumtor people OF
ferinE-ttheir talent to make the meet
ms n success, ave deserving Of praise,
also. Their work was the subject OF
numerous compliments at both SER
vices, and these compliments were
well deserved. Mrs. Mckenzie has,
them well in hand, and the harmony
created by piano. %violins, and comets,
is fine.
When Mr.. Mckenzie asked for ap-
plause for the choir last night, tell
ing the audience. IF you like the
songs and music, applaud. they're
your folks some amusement was
created by the barking Of several dogs
which intermingled with the vigorous
hand clapping of the audience.
That's all right" said Mr.. Mckenzie
let EN- applaud, they like good mu-
sic too"
Already, as stated. the choir is do
ing valuable work, and is making is
influence felt. but Mr.. Mckenzie wants
more singers. He has told the ushers
to refuse to seat anybody who can
sing we'll, and they are doing their
duty.
If the development Of the Bob

the next few days as it has up to the
ing to be surprised at just what can

try hard.
Mr.. Mckenzie sang at the Trinity
Methodist church yesterday morning
to the delight Of the big audience.
In the pastor of the church, the Rev.

Classmate of Vanderbilt University,
and was only too pleased to accept
the invitation to sing for his old class

Women Prefer Tact to
Justice In Dealing
With Realities
BY GILBERT X. CHESTERTON
English Author

In EFT all females have the suffrage
l. except suffragettes, and then,
one almost feels, all would be
well. The dream is merely SYM
bolic, but it is symbolic of much,
FOR THE NEW WOMEN WHO'LL
LY MISUNDERSTAND THE AT
TITUDE OF THE AVERAGE
MAN ON THIS MATTER.
If THE WHOLE OF LIFE is LAW
THERE CANNOT BE THE SLIGHT
EST DOUBT THAT BOTH SEXES
OUGHT TO MAKE THE LAW.
But perhaps all life is not law;
perhaps there is another equally
large department, which for the
sake of word we call "tact." Now,
tact is anarchy Social understand
ings imply the absence Of coercive
force. Women are all anarchists,
just as saints are all anarchists.
That is, they do not see the need
of rules when they are dealing with
realities. They will not force man
when it is easier to persuade him,
They will not be cruel by justice
when it is better to be kind by job
nry

spread dragnet over the amusement

sensational and cast the refuse to 9TH

CHANGED RULES
FOR ARGUMENTS

MACON, Ga, Oct. 2S.-Under an ord
er passed by Judge w. w. Lambdin of
the United States district court, the
rule applying to the length of argu-
ment by counsel in certain cases is
reversed, placing further limitations
upon the time.
In criminal cases below felony, and
in all cases involving the violation of
the internal revenue laws of the United
States, such as cases for Illicit distill-
ing, ETC., counsel for neither party
shall, without special leave of the
curt, obtained before the argument is
opened, occupy more than thirty min
utes in the whole discussion of the
case after the evidence is closed. In
other felony cases, except capital fell
ories, counsel shall be limited in their
argument 70 UHS Houi oH thC SluCs Az
capital felonies, counsel shall be linn
tied to two hours on a side.
In civil cases cousel shall be limited
to two hours on side-provided, how
ever, that the court may reduce the
time for argument to not less than
thirty minutes to the side in its discre-
ton.
The time allowed for argument may
tie apportioned between counsel on the
same side at their discretion, provided
always, that fair opening shall be
made by counsel for the party having
the opening and closing argument. But
IL counsel on either side shall apply to
the court for an extension of the time
prescribed, showing that additional
time will be required, the court may
make the extension.
The former rule was that only two
counsel would be heard for each party
on the argument of case. Two hours
on each side were allowed

says:
"Postoffice burglaries have increas-
ed to such an extent that the depart
ment finds it advisable to lessen the
number of postage tsamps issued to
postmasters, particularly the one-cent
and two-cent denominations. which
are the main object of burglary. Post
masters of the second, third and fourth
classes who cannot properly protect
their stamps will accordingly draw
requisition for approximately two
months supply of one and two-cent

Stamps of these denominations
heretofore have been drawn in guam
titles sufficient for a three to a twelve
