The Lyric Glee Club.

Lack of space in last weeks Beacon
prevented other than the mere men.
tion of one of the best attractions at
the Chatauqua-The Lyric Glee Club.
While the ensemble work was below
the average in some of their work,
yet there remained enough of first
class work to endear them to music
lovers of Macon.
Their special triumph was "Sunset"
sung at the evening program. This is
a masterpiece and n of the most diff
cnlt, quartette changing keys seven
times throughout.
Mr.. Baldrige, the tenor, was most
pleasing to the Macon audience, in the
remarkable ease with which he ascend
ed to difficult passages. Mr.. Baldrige
has the quality of voice which trans
forms a love song into a caress and a
ballad a sigh.
The bass, Mr.. Gorgas, performed
vocal acrobatic stunts, which drew
wonder and admiration from his listen
ers.
The baritone, Mr.. Howard, was best
in his piano work. His rendition of
the 9Th Rhapsodie deserves special
mention, The octave passage in this
number, which calls for the lightness
of butterfly wings and yet the strength
of a giant for endurance sake, was
certainly his.
AS leader of the quartette, Mr.. VIII
liams' power wat evident throughout.
The masterful way in which he directed
without seeming to do so proved him a
most worthy leader.
He also furnished a refreshing bit of
comedy as spokesman for the quar-
tette and many would have liked more
of his German and Jew stories which
showed close observance of real life.
Attorney George Richardson re-
turned from Louisville Thursday after
noon. where he had been to attend
chancely court. He says there has
been several cases of disease in cattle
heal Louisville that was diagnosed as
anthrax or Charlton.
Mr.. Rod Triplett from near Perkins
vile vas in town last week for the
first time in six years. He has been
trading in Macon for considerable more
than half a century, and there is not a
merchant now doing business in
Macon that was here when he started.
He made the trip here this time in an
auto, and the time of course, was
much quicker and the distance much
shorter than when he came in a wagon
and pair of mules.

See "WHO'S GUILTY"

Doc Riddle, philosopher, sage. opti.
mist, C~anfedera tie veteran, and an all
round good fellow came back to Noxu-
bee last week from a stay of severaI
months with his son Willis in the delta
Doc says they had a promise of a fine
crop of cotton IN the section where he
has been, but the boil weevil has cut
down the yield considerably. He says
that picking cotton in the delta is al
most like working in a coal mine
that the picker never sees tie sun ex-
cept when he gets to the end of the
row, He says, too, that if the farm
ers in this country would work as they
do in the delta there would not be any
cry of poor crops or hard times-it a
niger don't work he is whipped and
they don't stand on the order of doing
it. And if a white man is working un-
der an overseer he gets about the
same treatment, and if he resists he is
liable to get shot, as one of Noxubee's
citizens can nestify. They practice
Investigation, plant large fields in
peas for hay as they have no other
hay, and peas r planted between

Five years had passed since Mile
Rogers had left her fathers home TO
go on the stage, and during those FIVE
years her father had tried in vain to
shut the girl out of his heart. Never
during that time had her name passed
his lips.
His Puritan training had evoked
in Mile only stubbornness. Even
when she was just big enough to tod.
die across the floor she had seemed
made for light and laughter. Her
gayety had shocked the old man; he
could not understand how he could
have given life to a child like that.
The austerity OF his religion hung
gloomily about him.
1t hung gloomily about his wife,
too. Samantha Rogers had accommo.
dated herself to his life, but she had
secretly yearned for the old days OF
harmless jollity before her marriage
The soberness of the new life had
weighed her down Then Millie was
born. Insensibly mother and daughter
drew together.
If Jim Rogers was aware that he
was being shut out from the lives Of
his womanfolk, he said nothing, but
went his way, growing sourer ant
grimmer as the years went by. Al
she grew older he ceased to scold hii
daughter; he accepted her as a mis-
fortune, and it was not until she an
nounced her intention of going on tn,
stage that his depressed anger blazet
out.

you're no longer any child of mine!

twenty years, but Shere's limit"
Many good women are on the
STAGE" said Millie.
"There no union between sin and
Righteousness" answered Rogers.
"Play-acting and dancing are the dead
" sins, You can make your choice
now"
Pm going, then" said Mile, who
had her fathers obstinacy Of charac-
ter. I'm going--and you can ask me
to come back when you want me-"
Rogers did not reply. The next day
Mile left home, and the mother. ter
rified by the uugielding face of her
husband, could only weep and furtiVe-
ly press her savings into the girls
hand. Later these came back. Let
tiers arrived, too, but Rogers pretended
never to notice them. 1t was only
when his wife prepared to spend a
couple OF days in the city that he let
his oppressed heart reveal ITSELF
"T know where you're going. wife"
he said, "and you don't go. II you
leave my house ypu never come back"
For once the spirit of the woman
who had once been SO gay flared up.
rI'll CO." she cried. But half an hour
later she went to her husband. I'll
stay, for your sake, Jim" she said.
AS the years passed the house grew
.Rloomier. Mile had been the only
child. and both had looked forward to
the day when a grandchild would come
to brighten it. Nov that hope was
cut OFF forever.
Five years after Mile had left the
house Jim Rogers went to the metro
poiis for the first time since his mar
riaee. ON a matter Of business con-
racted with the sale Of some prop

she went with him. and the tourney
was an astonishing one. Both were
lost in the great city; they wandered
nm and down the streets looking about
item in amazement Then Jim's eyes
darkened. Samantha saw what had
unset him. Upon a billboard in front
of a vaudeville house was the an
nouncement of Madame Chantella's
Farewell Appearance"
She was to give her last perform
ance at the house that night before
retiring. And the picture was SO like
that OF Millie that-that it might be
MiIlie herself.

arm and hurried her away. They spent

WIFE MUSsED UP HIS SYSTEM

He Used Tags.

In chronological order, says writer in
Cleveland Plain Dealer. That il, II
he buys q new shirt he tags It with
his initials, numbering II at the bottom
of the pile. And no matter how much
he likes It, he does not wear It until
it comes out at the top OF the pile.
He went into wordy detail about the
economy of his system-and he added
that he arranged his socks in the same
manner.
told him that he would meet the
woman OF his dreams some fine day,
and that she would knock the spots
out of his system. told him that
she would admire a particular shirt,
caress its delicate stripes lovingly, and
ask why he didn't wear it oftener.
And then he would send 1t to the
laundry as soon as 1t was soiled, and
wear 1t as soon as 1t got back; and he
would forget the system.
Don't you believe it," he said. THE
person doesn't live who could upset
my system!"
But l met him q few days ago-for
the first time in a year. He was hur.
rying to catch a car, so had only time
TO ask him how he was and how things
were going. And he didn't have time
to explain-he only shouted over his
shoulder. jubilantly: I'm wearing
'em every which wayi"
And l hadn't even heard he was
married.
