MRS. PARISH SETS
A HIGH RECORD
SELLS DURING MONTH OF MARCH
NEARLY $3.50 WORTH OF BUT
TER AND EGGS.

Maury county is without doubt the
most productive county in the state
from practically every standpoint
and it's good women are the
most resourceful of any class
of women in America. There is
hardly a lady living in the country
that does not make more than enough
money off her chickens, cows, etc., to
clothe herself and still have money
left. 1t is not from necessity that
they do this, but for the love of doing
things.
Mrs. ]. j. Parrish, of Dark's Mills,
one of the most progressive ladies in
the county, marketed during the
March $4,000 worth of butter, and
eighty-six dozen eggs at an average
price Of 10 cents per dozen, making
total Of $16.44. That is not bad, in
fact, it is hard to beat.

Methodist church, South, convened
at II o'clock at the Methodist church

ling elder, who will preside. The

CANAL TOLLS BILL
REPEALED IN LOWER
HOUSE BY 86 VOTES
SUSTAIN PRESIDENT IN FIGHT
FOR EQUAL RATES FOR ALL
At PANAMA.
The FIRST PARTY STRUGGLE
Speaker Clark Turns Loose a Flood
Of oratory--He and Underwood Un.
able to Stem Tide of Wilson's Pop.
ularity-WlIl Also Pass Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The ma.
tional house of representatives last
|night, after one of the most spectacu-
lar legislative struggles in the his
tory of the nation, voted to repeal the
provision of the Panama canal act ex-
empting American vessels from the
payment Of tolls. The vote on the
repeal bill was 247 to 161, majority
of So votes in support of the personal
plea Of Woodrow Wilson, president
| of the United States.
The verdict on the issue which has
absorbed congress for many weeks,
came at the close of stirring day,
made memorable inf.the annals of the
house by party division which
found Speaker Clark, Majority Lead
er Underwood and other democratic
chieftains lined up in opposition to
the president on an issue which the
latter had declared vital to his con-
duct of the nations foreign policy.
Today's result was the first struggle
with the party since democracy took
control of the government q year
ago. Tomorrow the bill goes to the
,Fsenste where the fight will be renew
ed with all the vigor and determine.
tion that attended 1t in the lower
house.
On the final vote, 22O democrats in
the house stood by the President, Civ.
ing him in "ungrudging measure
what he had asked "for the honor of
the nation" in it's foreign relations.
TWENTY-FIVE republicans and two pro.
gressives also voted to sustain the
President Fifty-two democrats fol-
lowed Speaker Clark and Leader I'm
derwood to defeat.
Nothing, it seemed, could stem the
tide of administration success. Speak
er Clark, for nearly twenty-five years
a member of the house, made the
speech of his life to forestall what
he termed "unquestionable degrade.
ton" of the nation. In this he failed
but he did smooth over the party
breach with kindly words for his ad
versaries, praise for President Will
son, and an unqualified denial of any
vaulting ambition to the repeal speech
was triumphant in defeat, for the en-
tire legislative assemblage, in which
were many senators, rose enmasse tt
cheer him.
President Wilson was at dinner
when the result of the vote was an
nounced. He was gratified but made
no comment
In the senate the bill will be refer
red to the committee on inter-oceani'
canals, of which Senator O'Gorman

WESTERN UNION AND
TELEPHONE PEOPLE
SEVER RELATIONS
DISSOLUTION WENT INTO EFF.
Feet THIS MORNING BY OR.
DER OF M'REYNoLDS.
WILL OCCUPY The SAME OFFICES
Fred Latta to Be Local Manager Of
the Telephone Company, While {.
II. Yoest Will Manage Affairs Of
the Western Union.

This morning the dissolution of the
relations between the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Cumber-
land Telephone Company took place.
They will remain together in the
building next to the New Grand thea
ter, but their operation will be abso-
lutely separate and distinct, E. H.
Yoest will be the manager of the
Western Union Office, while Fred Lat
ia will be the local agent of the Cum
berland Telephone. He will keep his
office in the present location until the
new telephone building is completed
and is ready for occupation.
The dissolution of the relations be-
tween the two companies is the re.
suit of the action of Attorney Gener-
al McReynolds, of the federal gov.
ernment. Similar action took place
all over the nation today. Hence
forth, they will be absolutely sepa-
rate and distinct in their spheres.
The telephone people make no bones
of the claim that the severance will
greatly lessen and reduce the grade
of service that has. been given since
they have been together. They state
that neither can hope or expect to
serve the public as they have, and
that the expense of operation will be
much greater.
Both of the companies were averse
to the separation which was demand
ed by Attorney General McReynolds.
They claimed that much better, more
efficient service could be given II a
working basis between the two were
allowed to exist. Messages could be
transmitted over the phone at reduc.
ed expense. The expense of delivery
would be cut out. The working force
would be necessarily smaller, and yet
they claimed that better and more er
ficient service would be rendered
Their claim has been correct in mos,
cases. However, General McReynolds
held that the connection of the two
companies was in restraint of trade
and an illegal combination.
