Tolls Repeal Becomes Law

Washington, June 12.-Only
President Wilson's signature is
necessary to repeal the clause of
the Panama canal act exempting
American coast wise shipping
from tolls. The long and bitter
fight in congress came to an end
today when the house, after
brief debate and without the for
mality of a conference, accepted
by vote of 21e to II the senate
amendment specifically reserv-
ing all rights the United States
may have under tn, Hay-Paun-
cefote treaty or otherwise.
The president is expected to
sign the measure Monday. 1t
was just little more than three
months ago that he addressed the
house and senate in joint session,
urgently asking for repeal of the
exemption clause that the nation
might keep its treaty obligations.
Speaker Clark was out of the
city today but he and Vice Pres
ident Marshall will attach their
signatures to the bill tomorrow
and send 1t to the White House.
Before ending the contest by
concurring in the senate amend
ments the house voted down.

by Representative Moss of West

CJ. l. Frick of Wallaceville, be-
tween Columbia and Aston, has

years. Mary is probably the
oldest mule in the State. She is
mot a gray mule, either. Mary is

continued to live on and on.

Mr.. Frick is determined to keep
the old mule as long as she
lives. He has owned her now
for 20 years.
Mary's volatile temp perament
has not been toned down by the
passage of the years. She is still
given to lifting her heels at the
slightest provocation and has
never gotten over showing an
inclination to bolt when a bicycle
or automobile passes. Old Mary
is driven to Columbia about
once a month and wakes the trip
in fine form.

A Bottle OF Tears.

man in Virginia who said he
knew the party and confirmed it
in all of its features:
Some years ago a noble young
man of Virginia was happily
married to one of the most beau
tiful young women of that grand
old State. He possessed beau
tiful mansion and a twenty-six
mule farm. But a bar was near
his home. The bar-keeper be-
came his personal friend and in
time induced him to drink and
gamble. AS the years rolled by
his financial interest failed until
his sole possessions were reduc-
ed to a home and a one-mule
farm. One night in the gamb-
ling saloon of the bar-room near
by he was brutally shot to death.
After being buried by some neg
roes under an apple tree IN his
own garden his wife received
the following note from the bar
keeper:
Dear Madam: This will in
form you that l hold mortgage
