TOLL EXEMPTION
WILL Be REPEALED
Administration Leaders Conf
dent Of a Majority
ACTION IN TWO Weeks
Senator Thornton, Of Louisiana, An
nOunces Intention of Supporting
President Wilson In His
Advocacy Of Repeal.

Washington, March 2-AnnouncinE
1cy to repeal the provision of the Pan
ana Canal act exempting American
coastwise shipping from tolls, Sena
or Thornton, Democrat of Louisiana
n a statement today said the Presi
dent had informed him that in his
Judgment the repeal of the exemption
clause is necessary for the continy
ance of our present friendly relation
with foreign powers and the success
Of our foreign policies
Senator Thornton is a member OF
the Inter-Oceanic Canal Committee
which urged toll exemption and i
one Of several Democratic members
of that committee who have told tbs
President they would reverse thei
position. He said today that he for
merly favored exemption believing
that the United States had the legal
and moral right under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to enact such legis-
lation.''
Il believe now just as firmly as be
fore,'' stated the Senator, that the
exemption clause of the Panama Cana
is not a violation of our treaty obli-
cations, but 1 recognize now, as I al
ways did, the substantial difference
between our right Of exemption an6
our enforcement of that right
considering the canal tolls exemp
ton law previously enacted to be {
question Of policy and not of principle
and recognizing the great responsible
ity resting on the President for the
successful conducting of our foreign
relations and also the delicacy of the
present situation, I feel it my public
duty to assist the President in carry
ing out his wishes in this matter
Administration leaders in the Sen
ate believe that the repeal will carry
by substantial majority despite some
party opposition. 1t also is believed
that the matter will be up for action
within two weeks. Representative
Adamson expects to introduce a re.
peal bill in a few days.

ORPHANS SINGING CLASS.

In the summer of 1873 there could
be seen winding it's way over the pub
lie roads of Gran1 lille and adjoining
counties a very robust man with a
wagon full of children. This was Mr.
John H Mills with a group of children
constituted the first Singing Glass
from this Institution. It was the begin
ming of a career which has made the
organization one of the most widely
known in the State. This Glass has
also been a means of stirring the
hearts and enlisting the sympathies
and cooperation of the citizenship of
the State in the Orphanege work.
This Glass makes tour of the State
each year, touching nearl.' every coun-
ty and most of the towns. Because of
the character of the work and the
merits of the concerts it has grown in
favor with the people more and more
each year.
The Glass has just started out from
Oxford on it's first or North Eastern
trip for this Spring. During the Sum-
mer the time will be spent, for the
most part, in the Western section OF
the State. Later in the Fall the triT
will be made through the South East
ern section Of the State.
The Glass is starting out most aus
! piciously this year and we predict thai
| it will receive even a more hearty
welcome than ever before.

D. D. D. In Hospitals;
Standard Skin Cure

How many hospital patients. suffer-
ing the frightful itch, the raw scorch-
ing pain of skin disease. have been
washed in by the nurses hands?
That fluid is the famous D. D. D.
prescription for eczema.
THE SUPERVISING NURSE of one
Of our prominent Catholic institutions
(name of nurse and institute on appli-
cation). writes regarding a patient
'"The disease had eaten her eyebrows
away. Her nose and lips had become
disfgured. Since the use Of D. D. D.
and face have assumed their natural
expression"
How many eczema sufferers are pay
ing their doctors for regular treat
ment and are being treated with this
same soothing, healing fluid?
DIR. GEO. r. RICHARDSON frankly
Goldsboro weekly argus., 1914-03-05

writes I'D. D. D. is superior to any,
thing I have ever found. Soft and
soothing, yet a powerful agent"
To do the work, D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton must be applied according to
directions given in the pamnh1et
around every bottle. Follow these di-
rections-and see!
And it certainly takes away the itcI,
at once-the moment the LIQUID is ap-
piled. The skin is soothed-calmed-
so thoroughly refreshed-delight
cooled.
All druggists of standing have the
famous specific as well as the efficient
D. D. D. Skin Soap
But we are so confident of the mers-
its of this prescription that we will
refund the purchase price Of the first
full size bottle if it fails to reach
your case. You alone are to judge.
