MAY BE WHITE HOUSE BRIDE.

The advent of a presidential house
hold with three manageable daugh.
tiers forming a part of it-something
ecedented-arouses Washington
society to speculation as to the posi-.
bility Of one or more White House
weddings during the Wilson admins
tration.
Although the Wilson sisters are
known as bachelor maids" there is
ever a tendency toward romance in
the lives of the younger occupants OF
the historic mansion, and therefore
the possibility that one or more of the
Wilson girls will bring about a change
of title.
A deliver into the romances Of the
mansion has called attention to the
old thirteen superstition by discover
ing that the next White House bride
will be the thirteenth. Alice Roose-
welt, the last White House bride, was
the twelfth. The one before that was
Frances Folsom, who became Mrs.
Grover Cleveland. Emily Plat,
niece of President Hayes, was mar
ried in the White House during her
uncle's administration, to Gen. Rus
sell Hasting.
The question asked now Is whether
one of the Wilson girls will flout su-
perstition and become the thirteenth
White House bride.

Tammany Hall was made when the

purpose of the recent election. eight

casting Of $4,000 votes under it's en-
hlem convinced the leaders, Chairman

AMERICAN SHIPS NOT FAVORED.
GENERAL RULES ON
SECTION OF TARIFF WHICH
MIGHT CAUSE TROUBLE.
Secretary McAdOo Of the Treasury
Department Announces Decision of
the Attorney General as to Proposed

Washington, Nov. 9.-Attorney Gen.
eral McEeynolds has decided that the
subsection of the new tariff law au-
thorizing discount Of s per cent OH
all goods imported in American vessels
is nullified by it's proviso that moth"
ing in this subsection shall be so con-
strued as to abrOgate or in any man
ner impair or affect the provisions Of
any treaty concluded between the
United States and any foreign ma
tion."
Secretary McAdOo of the treasury
department made public the attorney
generals opinion today and announced
that collectors of customs would be
directed to continue to disregard the
subsection as instructed to do on Oc-
tober s. Entries held up pending the
decision now will be liquidated, leav-
ing importers who desire to insist upon
getting the per cent discount to pro-
test, with the right of finally carrying
the question to the court Of customs
appeals.
This ends, for the present at least,
the long discussion over the proposed
differential duty provision, the sub.
ject Of much debate in congress while
the tariff was under consideration.
The attorney general gave his opinion
to Secretary McAdoo 10 days ago, but
it was withheld until today to allow
consideration by the treasury officials.

Carl Laney, aged 13, left his home

with the train from Florence TO

uncle in Wadesboro, but the father,
A. l.. Laney, has been unable thus
far to locate his son in that town.
The police Of several towns have been
asked to keep a watch for Laney.
The family is held in high esteem
here and their worry and sorrow finds
many sympathizers. Carl is a slender
boy, light complexion, light hair.

slightly decayed. When last seen by
his mother, who thought he was on
his way to Sunday school he wore

shoes. The family will greatly ap-
preciate any information concerning
