Signs of renewed activity and the
promise of at least one concert during
the season by the Washington Symphony
Orchestra is reason enough for much en-
couragement on the part of those who
were trying last spring to raise an
endowment fund to secure the organiza-
ton as a permanent institution at the
National Capital. Arrangements so far
made include one concert after Easter
with a good soloist, and the support
given by the general public on that
occasion will be taken as an indication
of how much demand there is for it's
continued existence.

APRIL FROSTS HAVE
CAUSED NO DAMAGE
TOSOUTHERN CROPS
INSURANCE MEN TO CLOSE
ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Beginning today, every insurance
Cffice N Brunswick will close at noon
on Saturdays during the entire sum-
mer, A petition was circulated among
these business men during the past
few days and every one of them glad
ly signed it. OF course those agen-
cies which operate collecting agencies
in connection with their insurance
business will keep open Saturday af-
ternoon as far as the renting bust
ness is concerned.
Among others who will close their
places during the summer on Satur-
day afternoon are the city hall, all
railroad offices, banks, wholesalers and
others.
1t is more than probable that the
retail stores will, at a later day, de-
eide to close their places on after
noon of each week, probably on Fri
day, but such action has not yet been
taken, though generally discussed.

BOND ELECTION IS
CALLED FOR T|FT0N
LARS TO BE SPENT IN MU-
NIcIPAL IMPROVEMENTS.

Triton, Ga, April 10.-A bond cleo
tion to vote $4,000 for municipal i'm.
provement bonds for Triton has been
called by city council for May IL.
The issue Is divided as follows: ST.
900 for extension OF water mains and
improvements a; waterworks plant; !;
$4,000 for additions to the school
building; $4,000 for a city hall and
fire department headquarters; and
$1,000 for fire fighting equipment and
furnishing fire department headquar-
ters.
There is no opposition to the school
and aterworks bonds and 1t is believ-
ed that the other amounts will easily
carry as the improvements the bond
issue will provide for In the fire de-
partment will place Triton on sec
ondclass insurance rating and save
from Is to % per cent. on premiums
to policyholders. IT Is estimated that
the saving in insurance rates alone
will pay for the bond issue

Atlanta, Ga, April 10.--While Geor-
gia is having more or less lively pol
itics, this state does not and can
not hold candle to South Carolina,
according to visiting newspaper man
from Columbia who asked that his
name be withheld.
Our campaign will open in about
two weeks and 1t is going to be
redhot," he said. 1t is my opinion
that Cole Blease is going to win the
.senatorship, without reference in any
way to my own leanings.
And he is going to do some cal
oric stunts, believe me! But the fight
isn't going to stop there. Blease
men are going to run for congress in
every district, with the chances ia
vorable in some of them. Blease is
going to try mighty hard to take a
solid delegation to Washington with
him. We've got about a dozen CUB

TO PROTECT ROAD
FROM STRIKERS
BRiNSoN RY. MAKING DETER.
MINED STAND TO OVERCOME
PRESENT SITUATION.

Savannah, Ga, April 10.-Detectives
from one of the bureaus with ma.
tional reputation have been summoned
by the officials of the Savannah and
Northeastern route, formerly the Brin-
son Railway, in hopes of apprehend-
ing those who have been guilty of
depredations during the strike Of the
conductors on the line. This was the
announcement made this morning by
Mr.. II. h. Morgan, general manager
of the company.
The company hopes, through the
detectives, to arrest those who have
been destroying the property along
the line and tying trains. The sleuths
will be here in a few days, the ON.
cials say. The railroad hopes to meet
the situation with strike-breaking
crews in a few days.
A trestle two miles south of st.
Clair was burned last night 1t was
believed that the trestle was destroy
ed by strike sympathizers, or some
Of the strikers themselves. The burn.
ed trestle seriously interfered with
the opration Of the trains at that end
of the line this morning. Train No.
2, due to leave st. Clair at Z o'clock,
was unable to run. Instead the train
was operated from Wayneboro.

OBSTRUCTION OF
OIL PROPERTIES
OPPOSING MEXICAN FORCES A
MENACE TO THE PLANTS.
NEAR TAMPICO.

Washington, April 10.-Officials
here were concerned today over safe
ty of foreign oil plants at Tampico
where desultory firing continues be.
tween opposing Mexican forces. Rear
Admiral Mayo had delivered another
letter to General Zaragosa about the
shots fired into the Pierce oil plant
from Federal gunboats, but he had
also heard that an oil tank at Arbol
Grande was on fire at $3.50 o'clock yes.
terday morning, and grave fear is
felt here that there may be wholesale
destruction of the oil properties.
While officials here have utmost
confidence in Admiral Mayo, yet they
realize diplomacy will be of little
avail if fire from either side OF the
combatants comes in contact with the
oil. Assurance was received that
all American women and children have
been gathered into places Of safety.
Secretary Daniels said he had not
been informed OF the issuance by Ad-
miral Mayo OF any ultimatum to the
Federal commander at Tampico to
cease firing from the gunboat into
the city.
Today's State Department reports
laid greater emphasis on the serious
ness Of the fighting at Tampico, which
is described as heavy with the rebels
in possession OF Don Cecilia and Ar
Dol Grande." The situation concern
ing the oil properties is thus de-
scribed in an official statement.
Several oil tanks have been struck,
one is on fire and oil Is running into
the river. A number of refugees are
on the warships.''
