LITTLE NEWS ITEMS THROUGHOUT STATE Mncon.—The Macon' Ministerial as sociation 1$ trying to take a hand in municipal nlfalrR in Macon, but so fur does not seem to hnvc succeeded very well. First, the association petitioned council to abolish the segregated dis trict of tho city known as “Tybee.” Council referred the- matter to the police commission, but that body- has decided that since there is a city , ordi nance defining the district, they are only enforcing the law In requiring the women to remain within those lim its. Council claims the matter le one for police regulation, and for that reason bus announced a “hands off’’ policy. It Is understood that the po lice commission takes the view that until tlie ordinance creating the dis trict Is rescinded they have no power to abolish It, and even it the ordi nance in repealed It is not altogether certain that they will change the sys tem now in vogue. On tho other hand the commissioners arc said to believe the segregation plan Is the best for handling the question, and If it comes under their jurisdiction will decide to continue the present method of controlling the evil. Now thnt the ministers have started their campaign, they are not going to stop with tho attempt to put a stop to so-called "legalized lewdness,” but are to endeavor to bring about some other reforms as well. The latest of these Is an effort to secure an order prohibiting the firemen from playing cards in the city fire stations. A delegation called on the mayor and asked him to stop the practice. The mayor referred, the ministers to the civil service commission, which lias control of the fire department, os well as the police department.

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE Proof That Little DoYothy Had Im bibed the Policies Advocated by Her Mother. Dorothy’s mother is a suffragette of advanced type. Dorothy is a dear little girl in a primary grade, but somewhat inclined to copy her elders. One day her teacher received a note from the secretary of the school board, but waited until after class to read It. Dorothy returned for some books and caught tears in the teach er’s eyes (the latter had been denied an increase in salary upon which she had based large hopes), and said: "Why are you crying?" Tlie teacher laughed and said, “The naughty old school board isn’t nice to me!” Dorothy took hold of the teacher’s hand with both hers and said very seriously, “Don’t you cry nuy more. When we get the vote we women will correct such things!”—The Sunday Magazine. New System. "When you get out or this peniten tiary," said the warden, you’ll be able to enrn your own living' and look the world in the face."

Don't you let them put up any schemes to get me fired out of here before my term is completed.” p And Not in Vain. Mrs. Bridey (in china shop)—“But I only want the teapot and the sugar bowl.

"It was a great move the Russians made in abolishing vodka.” ”Yes,” replied the man who 'is never happy; "only it seme to me they have gotten rid of about the only word In their language that ft easy to pronounce.” Quite Different.

"If he makes that announcement everybody crowds around to have a look at him.” A Variation.
