COLUMB!A'S BAND
AT THE REUNION
PROBABLE THAT MUSICAL OR.
GANlZATION WILL GO TO
JACKSONVILLE.

DR.. e. A. Timmons is trying to Sc
cure sufficient help from the Board
of Trade and the reunion committee
of Jacksonville to take the Columbia
band to the big Confederate reunion
He is very hopeful of accomplishing
that result. DR.. Timmons has oh.
tanned an offer from the reunlCn COM
mittee to pay 800 toward the cost OF
taking the band to Jacksonville and
in addition to give the members free
room and board while in Jacksonville.
The 500 will not be sufficient, how
ever, to take the band to the reunion
but DR.. Timmons has asked the Board
of Trade for an appropriation of about
$50 additional, which, it is believed,
will be allowed. With this sum, to-
gether with that of the reunion COM
mittee the band can be taken to Jack.

The Columbia band is one OF the
best on-professional musical organ
izations in the South. 1t has made
remarkable progress within the past
year and wherever it has played there
has been a demand for return en-
gagement.

REGULARS STAND
BY OLD PLATFORM
IN MAURY COUNTY
THE COUNTY COMMITTEE WON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH

Refusal to Accept Resignation Be-
. cause He Would Not Be Bound by
Action of State Committee Still
Stands-State Wide Won't Go Down

There will be no unity in the
democratic party in Maury county
this year, not if the regular corn-
ty committee can help it. There will
be no "harmonizing" on state wide,
fair election law platform, not If this
same committee can help it. Not a
bit.
/ At the meeting of the county regu-
lar committee today no action was
taken on the resignation of Chairman
Thomas H. PEBBLES, nor was any
provision whatever made for the ap-
pointment of delegates to the state
democratic convention on May q. In
other words the regulars" have be-
come boilers and independents.
This county will not be represent
ed at the state regular convention in
May, not anyway by virtue of any &C
ton of the county regular committee.
1t will be recalled that at a meet
ing of the committee two weeks ago
Chairman PEBBLES resigned as chair
man for the reason that he could not
be bound by the platform promulgat-
ed by the state committee; that he
had no present intention" of sup
porting state wide prohibition and an
"unregenerate ally" of Gov. Hooper.
The committee refused to accept his
resignation, but when he protested
that the committee could not consist
emily do that and at the same time
take any part in or have anything to
do with the state convention of May
27, the entire matter was postponed
until today.
The committee today lodged the IS
sue and as far as it can prevent there
will be no delegation from this coun-
ty to the state regular democratic
convention. AS matters stand the
committee refused to accept Chair
man PEBBLES resignation and its SUBJ
sequent action shows that it stands
by that course and refuses to follow

1t is sad story. The visitors from
the county, which Is famous for cer-
tain product that is now outlawed,
walked away from the local boys Fri
day afternoon and left them with the
small end of the score. The locals
were never in it, as Meyers had them
safe all the way and allowed them
only two clean singles. Had ii not
been for the fact that he walked three
of them in a row in the fourth inning,
they would have been shut out. They
were never able to do anything with
the assortment of benders that he
served them. Only six Of them struck
out, but they were never able TO pole
them into safe territory.
However, the Fayetteville boys
were not able to do much with the
stuff that Harris put on the ball.
Aiken started the game, but he was
replaced by Harris, who pitched nice
ball the rest of the way. Only two
of the five runs were earned, as er-
rors paved the way for the other
three. Columbia fiot off to a bad
start and let in two runs in the open
err without hit being registered. The
same was the case in the third when
another was scored by the same
route The only earned runs of the
game were in the fourth, when two
clean hits in succession tailed two
men. {
For the locals McDaniels played the
best game. His work behind the bat
was without fault and he mixed in a
good little bit of gray matter with it.
The game was played in short time,
as there was no wrangling, and UNI
pire Hood kept the players on the
jump. g.

HARVARD STARTS TRAINING.
Men Practice Daily in 6oathouse-
 Strict Rules Are Laid Down.

Word has been passed around in the Harvard crew quarters that all Candi-
 dates for the crews must observe strict
 training rules as long as they are re- tained, which for the best of them will
 be nearly to the end Of .J une. Bed at
 I0.30, care in eating and no smoking g are the most important. of the rules laid flown for the oarsfnen. Practice
 has now been going on for two weeks at the Newell boathouse. where the men are engaged daily on the machines and at the sweeps in the tank. Out door running will be resumed as soon as the weather moderates. There is little prospect at present that the river will be open for rowing for some time, for though 1t was open early in Feb ruary, 1t is now closed tight by the new ice.
 Coach Wray has had his varsity men assigned to crews since early in the season. At present he has four of last years varsity in the first boat. l.. $. Chanler. 1914. is again at stroke; Cap- tain Reynolds has moved from bow to No. 3; II. A. Murray, 1915. is at bow, and B. Earwood, 1915, is rowing at No. 1. w. T. Gardner, 1914, stroke and captain of the varsity four last June, has been promoted to No. ? in the eight. The three other seats are filled by recruits from last years freshman crews. C. E.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TRADING QUIET.
Price Changes in Saturdays Market
 Lacked Significance.

New York. March Price changes in yesterdays stock market were alto- gether less significant than the steatii- ness of the upward movement. Among the leading stocks there were 8 few losses scored on the day, but they were properly attributed to particular causes that had nothing to do with the general course of prices. Trading was quiet, with & firm undertone, There was no reaction of importance at any time in the session
 In the absence of important news developments which might have af- fected sentiment professional traders did little to extend their commitments on either side of the account. There was some selling of Northern Pacific on continued reports of new financing in prospect. the story this time being that the company was planning to fol low the example of Great Northern and issue stock The report, however, seems at least premature, as the notes which it was said would be paid off with the proceeds of a stock sale do not mature until four months hence. The shares of the several steel Compa- nies and some of the equipment issues were rather stronger than others on reports of a more active business in the steel and iron trade Reports from Pittsburgh are that the steel mills as a whole aTe operating at about 15 per cent of capacity.
 Weakness of the Rock Island issues in London was communicated to this points and the preferred l point There was no special reason for the decline, and it probably reflected merely one of those shifts in sentiment which have been common since it was determined 10 reorganize the system.

YALE LOST TO CORNELL. Knocks Eli Out Of the Psnnant Race
 Cornell Tied for Second.

Yale was knocked out of the run ming in the intercollegiate basketball race Saturday night in the Elm City gym when Cornell defeated the Eli quintette 25-E2 in a game which broke the Itlacans out of a. tie for second place and gave them undisputed pos session of the berth.
 Yale scored first on a foul, but Cap tain HaIsted of the visitors tied the tally a moment later. Arnold shone brightly for Yale the first half. but the Cornell men with the exception of their captain seemed unable to locate the basket.
 In the second half the Ithacans went at Yale with a rush, but the Blue ral- lied al round Swihart, the former leader, and came within a point of tieing up the lead Cornell had assumed. Cor nell proved the better at keeping up the hot pace, though, and Yale's chances went blowing when H. HaIsted broke away and tossed the basket that clincned the game.
 There was couple of minutes left to play when the visitor did this, but Yale couldn't even the score.

LAUREL HILLS WIN HARD GAME
Defeated Strong New Haven Basket Ball Team-Coy the Chief Facsor-Flayed Three Minute Overtime Game Final Score B to 37-Dispute Over The Score.

Saturday night in the I. M. c. A. gym the strong quintette freIn New Haven were defeated by the Laurel Hills in d very exciting game by the score of 3S-37. Both teams were even ly matched and they put up 5f great game At the end of the first half the score was 22-19 in favor of New Haven and at the end of the second half the two teams were tied, 32-32. So it was decided to play three min utes more to play eff the tie. During these three minutes the home boys shot three baskets and the visitors got two fieSd goals and a foul. The New Haven score keeper somehow credited his team with three field goals instead of two in the overtime period. People sitting near the New maven basket said that they only secured two bas- l1etss but the visitors were hard to convince. and they left the hall think ing they were robbed oI the basket. The New Haven scorer claimed that he saw a member of his team shoot a basket and he was informed by one of the players and on these grounds he said they get the basket. But in the audience there was 9 large majority against this view of the game. Coyle played an exceptionally good game. He shot nine field goals.
