Aft Important mooting was held In tne

CHAT OF THE CDRBSTOHES.
“Why don't Macon ladles ride bl-
eyoles?' Tile question wa* asked by
a lady friend ot mine the other day.
Sho had just returned from a- visit to
an Alabama town and was In ecstncies
over bicycle riding as n healthful ex-
ervlse, having seen so -many of her
friends over there who had taken up
-wheeling as a pastime, I confessed
that I didn't know why Macon ladles
had not taken up -bicycling. I had
seen ladles riding bicycles almost
everywhere and wondered why to was
that -the Indies of -Macon did not ride.
I -heard afterward, though, that there
were several ladles who wanted to
learn to ride, -but were afraid of too
comments of the public, and If a half
doxon others .would start, they (would
also. I mrt my little friend again two
days after my former talk and she
showed «me a beautiful little wheel, a
Preeant from her hudband,
“I’m going to ride, anyway, she
avid. "Will (bought me a wheel and
said he wanted me to ride It, anil t
Intend >to do so. H be don't care, no
body else ought to, nnd as I find plea
sure In It, I don’t think It's anybody's
business.
“You don’t know," sho continued,
"how many others are going to learn
to rid* bicycles, and in a fow weeks'
time I think there will -bo enough lady
riders to make up a nice club, I'm hav
ing lota ot fun and good exercise and
I hope toe other laulcs will enjoy It
with me,"
From wb.it I hear, the llrtlc l»dv*-
hopes about a ladles' bicycle club will
soon be realized and Macon will have
a number of tho most enthusiastic
wheeltvomen In toe (South.

I met 3Ir. L. M. Curry of E&stnvan
yesterday, who Is here attending the
antt-barroom convention. Mr. Curry Is
one of Eastman’s progressive chUzons,
and takes much Interest In the peach
carnival. He carries about with him
a wonderful little Invention known os
a folding crate; toy means of which
fruits can be shfippedr and reshJpped
without the additional expenee of new
orates. His little affair folds into a
flat BlaBypke shape and can be re
turned after a rtrtpraent, and the
freight on the return Is reduced to a
minimum because of the very rwnall
space fhe crate decuples. Mr. Curry
has Unterested two very prominent Ma
con men In his invention, and says he
intends to build a factory hare, Macon
being the best crate dlstritoirttng point
in the fruit growing sections of Geor-
#a. He is also erecting a factory at
Eastman, and will have a number of
the Grates on exhibition at Mason’s
carnival* JThe factory to be established
at Macon, says Mr. Curry, will employ
about two hundred hands, among the
number toeing a great many women
and boys.

FACTS VERSUS FICTION.
To the Editor of the Totagmph: l do
not wteh to cuter into any controversy
with any of your contributors, but I
find one article In your last SuMty'a
Issue which te utteMy wflUvout foun
dation. So I wish to present my
views on the subject, my vews being
founded on Bomel-hlwg more subsiun-
tlil than hnogiuatlotx The article re
ferred to ts under the beading of “Unt
from a Cotton -Factory.’ I (tty noth
ing disparaging of any one, but attrib
ute too faults of fhe article to the wri
ter’s inexperience os a Journal*!. To
write tatoresthsrly, one must write
reasonably. Even fiction must be
founded on facts. And. though toe ar
ticle referred TO, evidently, was In
tended to portray real life, tt was
founded, ontkoly, on ou atmospheric
base* As I always build a foundation
on which to base an article of any de
scription, after rending said article
and the reply, I ventured forth to ta-
vostiguto for myself. And. I asrnre
you. I w«s agreeably surprised, after
rending Sunday’s article, to find how
grave wore toe m Strokes therein.
Tho picture drawn was absunL Find

terrainfine. Some of them, I found, are
ikwodants of good families and pre
sent a phasing contrast -to the picture
drawn by the writer of "tints from
a Orttan Factory." In conclusion, let
me suggest tim. If young writers most
write from their Imagination, let them
write fiction, and oof. by pretendlnc
to portray real life, make enemies by
casting reflections on an borrow. tudu*.
