TELEPHONE SERVICE
IS BEING RESTORED
DAMAGE IN THIS COUNTY WAS
LARGE, MORE THAN 100 POLES
BLOWN DOWN BY STORM.

The telephone companies now have
temporary lines operating into the
area swept by last Tuesdays disas-
trous storm. Manager Petway, of the
Bell Telephone Company said this
morning that all telephones on his
system had been put in order so that
they could be talked over, but there
remains much to be done to restore
the service to its old time efficiency.
The damage done the Bell Phone com
pany in this county will probably be
in excess of $1,000 Something like
100 poles were snapped or twisted in
two, and wires were torn down, but
considerable Of the material was sal
vaged and used again. Workmen are
still being kept busy on the lines,
and it is expected that within few
more days normal service will again
be given.

INSURANCE LOSS
FROM WiNDSTORM
IS ABOUT $4,000.
COMPANIES OF COUNTY HIT
HARDER THAN EVER BEFORE
IN CYCLONE HERE.
One Agent Authority for Statement
That There Are Many Times AS
Many Wind Losses in County AS
There Are From Fires.

More cyclone insurance has been
and will be paid out in Maury county
as result of the recent storm than
has ever been paid in the same length
of time. The companies which car
red cyclone insurance in the devas-
tated area are rapidly settling with
the insured. 1t is estimated that as
a result of this tornado not less than
$4,000 will be paid out by the in
surance companies in Maury county.
This does not anything like cover the
losses incurred on buildings, to say
nothing of losses Of fences and tim
Der and other materials that carried
no Insurance, but it does indicate the
growth of this class of Insurance bus.
mess.
There have been more destructive
cyclones in the county than that OF
last week, but they were in the days
before cyclone insurance was COM
mon. One of the leading insurance
agents of the city stated today that
there were several times as many
wind storm losses paid as there were
fire insurance claims settled, but most
of them were for small sums and moth
ing was said about them. Since the
Culleoka cyclone of 1913 there has
been tremendous growth Of cyclone
risks carried by insurance companies
of the county and the recent storm
has given a still further impetus to
this line of business. The rate is
much lower than for fire insurance
but the losses are more numerous.
However, in the aggregate they are
much smaller, hence the lower rate.

At the session of the Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks, held in Dallas in July 1908, the observance of June 14th, an- nually, as FLAG DAY, in commence ration of the birth of the American Flag, was made mandatory upon each Subordinate Lodge of the Order. Thus the Order of Elks was the first (and is yet the only) fraternal organization requiring the celebration of this event in our country's history.
 Of all the flags of history, this American Flag is the greatest, the most beneficient, the most beautiful Sporting in the breeze, it is a mosaic of ribboned lovliness; dropping in softer airs, it's shaff is transformed in- to May-pole of festal delight. It is an honest flag, benevolent flag, a righteous flag. Hail to this flag.

MUCH JEALOUSY
 AMONG THE ELKS

That green-eyed monster, jealousy, has entered the ranks of the Elks' minstrel troupe and threatened for awhile to disrupt the entire program It had the director and Vim. Van Val kenburg at their wits end trying to keep peace and harmony among the black-face artists. Hiram Merritt de- clared that unless he could have the star dressing room he would not play, as that had already been assigned to Chas. Durham, they promised Hiram he could lead the parade to keep him in happy frame of mind. However, the parade committee having issued the order that none but the handsom- est Elks should parade, that started more trouble, as each and every Elk in Conway considers himself in that class; consequently there is much heart-burning among the "antlered herd" Doe" McDonald declares he Is the one to lead the parade, much to the disgust of Wallace Graddy, who also aspires to lead this magnificent pageant. In fact, there has been so much feeling over the matter it may be necessary to have a committee of young ladies to pass on the claims of manly beauty by the members of the lodge. It is thought by some that Fred Gordy is prepared to bribe mem- bers of the "jury of awards" by pres ents of candy and flowers. The pa rade will appear on the streets on Monday at noon and you can form your own opinion as to who should really lead that parade.

first Is that 1t Is unusual to introduce
bills in the general assembly before
the body is organized and before COM
m1ttees are named.
Provision in Referendum Law.
the fact that several years ago, when
a number of amendments to the state
constitution were adopted. this pro-

ing with the referendum:

ing or submitting to local option
Questions of the manufacture or
sale of malt or spirituous liquors shall

This proviso, which specifically and
expressly excludes any referendum on
the liquor question. was inserted in
the amendment to the Maryland con-
st1tution at the behest of and with
the strong backing of the liquor in
terests of the state; and these very
interests now are seeking to go be-
hind the constitution, recall the pre-
viously enacted legislative ratifca-
tion and submit the question of rati-
fication to a statewide referendum.
Governors Oath of Office.
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie is to take the
oath of office tomorrow, by which
time the general assembly will have
completed it's organization and named
its committees, and the legislative
machinery will be ready for the i'm
portant work to be transacted at this
session.
In the senate two bills were intro
Georges county on the first day of the
session. One of these measures would
require the state roads commission to
adopt and publish a definite program
for future road construction. 1t also
requires the state roads commission
to furnish plans and estimates to
boards of county commissioners for
the construction of county roads. 1t
is understood that this measure meets
with the approval of the commission.
