A GEORGIA PERSTMMON

When the Rev Forrest J. Prettyman,
Chaplain of the United States Senate,
was pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church, Baltimore, Professor w. F.
Melton, now of Emory College, Oxford,
Georgia, and his family were members
of the congregation.
During this time, Mr.. Perryman made
several trips into the South in the in
terest of the great Southern Methodist
church that is to be built in Washing
ton City.
On his return from one of these
trips, Mr.. Perryman carried to- Profess
sor Melton a ripe Georgia persimmon,
which inspired the teacher to return
the following note of thanks:
In an olden golden garden,
Where the Euphrates flows,
Was a tree of good and evil
AS the whole world knows.
From the evil side, l think,
Satan handed Eve a lemon;
From the good side Brother Prettyman
Has brought me persimmon.

A HISTORY oF DEE CANAL TOLLS PROBLEM

Washington, June 1.-The ques- ton of making the Panama canal free to American vessels was brought to the front when the House on May 2s. 1912. Incorporated in the act providing for the establishment of civil govern ment in the canal zone, a provision au- thorizing the President to charge tolls to vessels using the canal, with a pro- viso on exempting American coastwsse vessels from such charges. President Taft. in message to Congress, had urged the exemption The bill had been reported to the House providing tolls for all vessels, but the exemption provision was adopted as an amendment. This amendment was in the bill as it went to the Senate
 Before the bill passed the Senate. Great Britain. on July Il. 1912, filed a formal protest against the proposed exemption. The note transmitted to the state depart ment contended:
 England's Protest
 The British government thinks that to allow American vessels to pass through the canal without the payment of tolls would be to violate the Hay-Pauncerote treaty whether the tolls are not collected or whether If collected they are refunded As to coastwise trade, the British gov ernment thinks it would be difficult to frame provision which would not do ,n- justice to their interests,
 The Hay-Pauncefote treaty supersedea the Clayton-Bulwer treaty under which Great Britain and the United States were Jointiy, to build the canal The Hav-

Montgomery June 11.-(Special )-The state high school commission today de- cided to locate the Chiffon county high school at clanton. The citizens of Clan ton agreed to give the school 20 acres of land and s1s,ooO cash Of the s1S.0oo about $l4.0o0 will be used to construct a building and s4000 will be used to pay architect fees and to buy equipment.
 Prior to the location of the school a sharp fight for it was waged by Clanton and Jemison. The high school conmis- sion paid a visit to both places and after reviewing the offers made selected Clan ton as the place for the school
 It was announced that the school will be ready for occupation January 1. It was also announced by the commission that all high schools that are located this summer will not be opened until next January. The commission riied that it will be impossible to get the schools ready for the fall terms and for this reason will not permit any of the new institu- tions to open until the term begins after Christmas.

 Speaker Clark Ma jority Leader Under wood and other democratic leaders in the House opposed the Presidents demand for the repeal, but after vigorous leg islative struggle the House, on March Sl, passed the Sims repeal bill. The meas ure then went to the Senate.
 In the Senate the fight was prolonged and brought the leading debaters of that body to the front. Party lines were large 1y eliminated.

Pauncefote agreement, after providing rules for the regulation of the canal based on the rules governing Suez canal traffic. set forth:
 The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules on terms of entire equality, so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or it's e,tizens or subjects in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions or charges of traffic shall be just and equit- able.''
 The British note of protest started q lengthy diplomatic correspondence on the subject. Great Britain throughout claimed that the United States could not, under the terms of the treaty, make toll exemp- tion of any vessels, whether its own, or of other nations. Secretary Knox, who con ducted the correspondence for the United. States. In several lengthy notes, contended that the exemption of American coastwise shipping was In no way a discrimination against other traffic using the canal He asserted that the exemption was in the nature of a subsidy, paid. not by i'm posing the tolls for certain American yes sels upon other ships passing through the canal, but by the American taxpayers themselves in paying for the maintenance of the canal. ksa
 "The avoidance of possible friction" said the note, has been one of the main objects of those methods of arbitration of which the United States has been for so long a foremost and consistent ad- vocate."
