Giant Oak Operated On.

The "Big Oak" at Magnolia Gem,
etery, Charleston, has been operated
upon by tree doctors. Years ago in
a storm one of the great limbs OF this
mighty live oak was torn off, leav-
ing a cash or hollow in the stalwart
trunk. Rain collected in the cavity
and it became evident some time ago
that the wood was beginning to de-
cay, and that unless steps were taken
to preserve it the tree would ultimate
ly die. Therefore, the wood that had
rotted was cut out, the cavity filled
with cement, and now the wound in
the grand old tree is closed and pro-
tected against further action of the
weather. The "Big Oak is one OF
the landmarks of Charleston and its
vicinity. 1t is one of the finest
specimens of its kind to be found IN
all the low-country. Nobody knows
how old it is, but it is. quite possible
that it had already passed its sapling
days when the first white men sail
ed into Charleston harbor.

Business Men Endeavoring to Bring

Philadelphia, Pa, Special.-Anoth'

which to settle the trouble between
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com

of delegates from these trade bodies
and from religious and fraternal
bodies as we'll as commercial and
other organizations, were called to

question of a general strike in sym

Statewide strike was carried.

"Only as a last resort" was the
reply. GIVE do not favor strikes and
only call them when compelled to dc
so."
The call for arbitration of The DIP
f~erences between the Transit Com
pany and its 1000 or more striking
employees is insistent now. From
quarter after quarter in Philadelphia
and outside of it the demand fol
mediatory measures is voiced. Every,
where it is recognized that the failure
to arrive at an arbitral agreement
was the only thing that stood in the
way of a speedy calling off of the
general sympathetic strike in this
city, which has practically paralyzed
the city's industrial life.
