The%ebels are gaining courage while

and 1000. 600 rounds of ammunition
which will he sent here by the United
States government viii be of vast help.
Though President Gomez is moving
vigorously now, the revolt is likely to
result in his downfall, as it is charged
that his failure to realize the danger
was responsible for the rebels gaining
such an advantage.
The rebels are so well organized that
an outbreak in Havana is feared at
any time. More than 100 arrests Of
suspected persons have been made here
and in the suburbs.
Every road leading into Havana was
crowded today with refugees fearing
death or worse in the outlying districts.
The problem of caring for several thou
sand helpless women and children is
serious problem for the already i'm
poverished government.

What About the
Summer Band Concerts?

To the Editor: What has become of
the park concert question? Are we to
pass the summer without the usual Sc
ries of band concerts? There seems to
be no inclination on the part of the
council to appropriate money for this
popular amusement, and it is to be re-
GREETED that Atlanta is to allow these
concerts to be passed up.
Progressive Atlanta That is the
term usually applied. Cities not as
large as Atlanta have arranged for a
series. one in particular having erected
a band stand and the concerts are
about to begin
1t is getting late and about time for
arrangements to be made if we are to
have our concerts.

series. l would suggest that a popular
subscription be started. A CHORD.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES 3, NEvIN.

Speculation as to what William G.
Brantley. representative in congress
from the Eleventh Georgia district
would do in the event of his election to
Baltimore as a delegate at large ran
riot for a time in the late state con-
vention.
It had been stated-probably by Old
Man They Say-that Mr.. Brantley pos
i-tive-ly would not consent to serve or
the national delegation with the red
headed person" from Thomson. because
Of the ancient and bitter enmity exist
ing between them. Besides that Mr.
Brantleys name was not considered
seriously for a delegates place not
even mentioned, indeed, until some "a
hours before the convention was called
to order.
The truth of the matter may as well
be stated.
MI Brantley was in no sense Of the
word a candidate for a delegates place,
he was in actual ignorance of any sug-
gestion that he serve until the conven-
ton was about ready to be called to
order.
Moreover, 1t is a fact that Mr. Brant-
lev did demur to the idea that he 90 to

party to sink and sacrifice whatever
feeling he had in the matter, and, for
Mr.. Underwoods sake, yield his views
to the extent of agreeing to go to Bal

Finally. Mr. Brantley said he would
nut the matter in the hands of MS
friends and do what they thought he
should do-this for Mr. Underwood 5
sake. as well as for the sake of the
party that had so greatly honored him
In the past
So it came to pass that Mr.. Brantley

Fort Worth, Tex, May "a
Some of the leading former Ken
tuckians of Fort Worth are plan
ming for a meeting in the near flu
ture of the sons and daughters of
the Bluegrass State.
No less than 500 native Ken
tuckians now claim Fort Worth for
their home. They are now all 10y
al Texans, but have a fondness for
their old home State, and are anx-
ious to get better acquainted, meet
in social sessions, and hear from
time to time noted men who now
live or have lived in the Common
wealth famed for beautiful women,
fine horses and inspirational prod
ucts.
Col. Henry Watterson may be
the speaker selected for the ban
quet which will be held to mark
the first gathering OF Kentuckians.
One of the promoters of the new
organization, ]. B. Ripy, Of the
Marquette Land Company, is a per-
sonal friend of the famous editor,
and was employed on his paper
fifteen years. He said that he felt
sure that Col. Watterson would be
glad to come to be the guest of hon
or at this first meeting OF former
Kentuckians.
I'VE Kentuckians are clannish,
said Phil Gather, another son of
the Bluegrass State, who is inter-
ested in the new organization:
when we find a man that is from
our native State, we take more in
terest in him, and will stick to him
in prosperity or trouble alike, just
because We can't do otherwise.
Many OF the most prominent men
in this part of the State are Ken
tuckians. In fact, the northern
part of Texas was settled by men
from the States of Kentucky and
Tennessee. 1t has long been sug-
gested that we get together and or
ganize and now we are going
