Choir members trifling during the
■ sermon of the pastor of a prominent
■ Atlanta Methodist church caused a

• church to declare in a letter to The
i Georgian that they were guilty of noth
i ing less than disrespect to the minister.
And in the communication the visitor,
who signs bis name “The Stranger
. Within the Gales.” declares that the
! incident spoiled the sotemnity of the

were divided in their opinion as to thef

Here is the letter to The Georgian:
, Editor The Georgian:
It was my good fortune to spend
last Sunday in your beautiful.
. prosperous city. It is a “revela
tion” to a Northern man to visit
. Atlanta, the “Chicago of the South
land.” I do not believe there is
another city In the country of its
size that can show the same num
, ber of autos. Prosperity is appar-
> ent on every hand, and every
Northern man will rejoice at At-
i lanta’s prosperity.
’ On the evening of last Sunday I
attended service in one of your
, great Methodist churches. The
■ pastor was cultured, eloquent,
' earnest. But 1 was pained to see
the disrespect of the members of
the choir. At the close of prelimi
nary services to the sermon two of
the singers left the choir. The or-
: ganist and two members of the
quartet remained.
Just at a point when the pastor
was striving hard to press home
great truths to his congregation,

had been bolding a lively whispered

The organist* then turned her at
tention to the only remaining mem
ber of the choir, a gentleman, who
plainly did not enjoy her attentions,
and kept up her whispering and
smiling, even through the prayer
following the se' mon.
It was painful—-truly it Was. I
was surprised to see it in the South,
where. I have always been told,
that the very highest refln- im nt
prevails. It certainly negatives th,
splendid efforts of the earnest, cul
tured pastor of that great church.

MACON. GA., Nov 22.- Lieutenant
C-dom 1 Baxter Jones, of the Setond
Georgia regiment, has tendered his res

Colonel Jones has been identified witli

Pupils of Miss Woodberry’s School En

Expert Players Are Developed.
Basket ball was made tor girls. Men
think they play the game, but they are
just as far from the true spirit of the
sport as prize fighting is from tiddle
dewlnks. Ask any of the pupils at Miss
Woodberry's school and they will teli
you that the game is as distinctly fem
inine as hair ribbons.
The girls at Miss Woodbury's school
have entered into the game enthusias
tically- this year. Their practices are
spirited and their play is rapidly ap
proaching perfection.
It is pointed out that the true game
of basketball depends solely on speed,
grace and accuracy, and these things
the girls are able to master. The men
players have never grasped the real
meaning of the game. They have never

weight and force, essential in mascu
line games, but not a part of basket
ball.
Ami the wonderful thing about a
girls' basket ball game is that she has
all the acc uracy, sometimes more, than
the m in in throwing goals. The basket
ball is thrown always with the peculiar
overhand motion that always distin
guishes the woman's throw from the
man's. Boys have to learn to throw ail
over again when they take up basket
ball. It js natural to the girls.
On this account, while the girls could
never compete with a male team, on
account of the roughness, they are nev
ertheless probably’ playing a more fin
ished product of the spelt.
