French Humor.

French humor is a little too broad
for us-and. when it isn't broad it is
apt to be disgusting"
The speaker was a playwright who
has adapted SO many French plays.
She continued:
. "A Frenchman told me a joke the
other day. He said two rustic sweet
hearts were walking out together. The
girl remarked:
"I like you very well, Castor; al
except those letters, @. S., tattooed on
your hand
But said Castor hotly, don't you
know, my dear, that it's the latest
style to have your initials on your

MAY WORK LIMESTONE BIDS
Committee Makes Report and Officials
May Investigate the Properties of
the Beds.

Columbia.-The committee appoint
ed by the general assembly last ses-
sion to Investigate the limestone and
phosphate properties in the state re-
ported that it would not be profitable
for the state to operate the phosphate
properties at this time, but recon-.
mended that the state geologist and
commissioner of agriculture look into
advisability Of the states acquiring
limestone properties. in Cherokee
county and Of operating them to the
advantage of the agricultural interests
Of the state. The committee consists
OF Senators McLaurin. and Hall and
Representatives Mcqueen, Wilbur
and Means. {:
The report In part follows:
""On the 18th day Of February, 1913,
the committee organized by electing
Hon. John L. McLaurin chairman, and
W. s.. Hall secretary. It was deter
mined first to investigate the lime
stone properties around Limestone
Springs, in Cherokee county. It is
probably well known that the, most ex-
tensive deposits of limestone in the
state are found here. The grade of
the limestone is high, and has been
used for commercial purposes for
some so years or longer. The bed
runs northeast along Limestone creek
for about half a mile. Until recently
the deposit has been worked by the
Limestone Lime company and Gaffney
Lime company. The former operated
three tubular steel kilns with a ca
pacity of about 800 to 400 barrels of
commercial lime per day. The latter
company owns two tubular steel
kilns, with a capacity Of $50 to 300
barrels per day. The beds uncovered
in operating the kilps show an almost
inexhatstible supply Of rock. The bed
operated by the Limestone Lime com.
pany lies under an overburden Of earth
ranging from Is to 80 feet In depth,
At the lower plant of the Gaffney
Lime company the rock lies from
three to six feet under earth. The
product was formerly hauled to the
railroad station at Gafney over q
dummy or dinkey line about a mile
long. NC

\ Householder Complaint Against a
Construction Company.

To THE EDIron OF THE SUN-Sr: VIII
you grant a long suffering citizen space
to register a complaint against the con-
struction company that has taken pos
session of West l5lst street, between
Broadway and Riverside Driver
For nearly a year this thoroughfare has
been In an unspeallable condition, and
residents have been compelled to take to
the road because the construction com
pany has monopolized the sidewalk. Now
the sidewalks on both sides of the street
are In the control Of the company and
its employees ignore all the rights OF the
residents in the neighborhood.
1t is such a disgraceful preemption OF
the public highway that one would Won
der where are the police, what is the mat
ter with the precinct commander and the
inspector OF the district and where on
earth are the officers OF the Departments
OF Streets and OF Street Cleaning? Per-
haps some redress could be had II the
patrolman on the post were instructed TO
notify the construction company to re-
speot the rights of other citizens and COM
pei the company to keep the sidewalks
clear OF building materials in such way
that they may be available not only to
the women and children but also TO such
other residents OF the neighborhood as

patriotism has not been learned, II
learned 1t can he, but, after all. Is not
the underlying spirit Of the European
war fatalistic admission that 1t must
come and Il Is best to be over with It?
War for wars sake 1t is not, nor for
n punctilio or monarchs within. In
what country involved is this not n
war approved by the mass of the peo-
ple2 Italy's abstention is another side
of the same fact.
Something, much, has been done,
then, If not toward the abolition, the
improvement, of this old remedy, for
"the pleurisy o. the peoples" Nor Is
there any irony or aught to invite the
cynic In these prayers for peace ut
millions of hearts. The aspiration for
peace is an aspiration toward the Eter-
nal; it is vision OF perfection seen
only in the Perfect. Knowing how
short is the recorded history OF this
ancient planet; seeing what has been
done to prevent and soften war in a
few centuries, yes, In few years; see
ing that the mass OF civilized men de-
plores 1t, this portent in Europe should
not discourage the dreamers of peace.
There may be no war serum In the
indictments Of time, hut slowly mems

THE PLEA OF A DOC.
He Recitcs the Merits and Grievances
OF Well Behaved CANNES.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-SH: l am
only a dog but 1 humbly claim a hearing
before the human court OF appeals. As l
lie at my masters feet hear talk OF put
ting muzzlts on all dogs, good as well as
bad DO you think we are deserving of
such treatment? We admit that there are
biting. snarlng and noisy barking dogs
who ought to be put under restraint: but
that Is no reason why a well behaved dog
should be subjected to unnecessary pun
ishment. A muzzled dog carries his char
acter on his nose, and he Is generally
given wide berth. While wearing his
insignia he has no chance TO slaughter
teas and has no show at all In dog
fight | am not pleading for that class of
dogs. Humans build and I'LL big houses
with criminals, but that fact is no reason
why honest men should be obliged TO wear
striped suits in their daily avocations.
Punish the guilty. not the innocent. The
dog looks upon man as his god, besides
whom he has no other What is there
more pitiable than homeless dog. or one
who has lost his master in crowded
street.
Where Is there another animal in all
creation that will return good for evil as
your canine friend? That will be thank
full II he can only get a smile after he has
just submitted to a kick? In all the pomp
and magnIfcence Of King Edwards fu-
neral array was there anything more
pathetic and more touching than the grief
stricken dog that followed his masters
coffin to the tomb? In your dashes TO the
northern and southern poles, whom did you
take to help YOU bear the hardshps of
those desolate regions? The dog He suf-
fers cold that the majority of men could
not endure He Is content IL he can only
get piece OF dried Ash for his sustenance.
No furs or sleeping bags for him. And
