HOUSE KILLS GOOD ROADS.
Statewide Appeals for Legislation
Fall on Deaf Ears.

Columbia, Feb. 2S.-The house,
by a vote of "a to A tonight, con-
tinued until next session, the good
roads bill which was passed by the
senate last night. This ends all
chance of any good roads legislation
at this session. The appeal of Gov
ernor Cooper and of people from ev-
cry section of the State for legisla-
ton looking toward the lifting of the
State out of the mud fell on deaf
ears in the lower house of the gener-
al assembly.
The vote came very suddenly and
unexpectedly. Representative Ow-
ems, of Marlboro, who was fighting
the bill before the house tonight, as
he has fought every good roads bill
introduced at this session, was inter-
rupted in the midst of long argu-
nlent which he was making against
the bill by Representative Hamilton,
of Chester, who moved that the bill
be continued until next session.
Aye and Nay Vote Taken.
Representative Berry made the
point of order that the motion was
out of order. Representative Now
er,. who was in the chair sustained
the point. Representative Berry, of
Orangeburg, then attempted to gain
the floor, but Representative Mower
ruled that Representative Hamilton
retained the floor. Mr.. Hamilton then
moved that the debate on the bill
be adjourned until first day of the
next session. Representative Mower
ruled this motion in order and aye
and nay vote was taken. =.
1t was contended by some repre-
sentatives that the bill which was
under discussion was the house bill
amended by the senate that the only
disposition that could be made of it
was either to accept or reject the
senate amendment.

Chateau-Thierry.

Chateau-Thierry, whose fame re-
ceived new item in the brilliant
victory of our Americans there over
the Huns, has more history than
most places. Not the least interest
ing item in it's long story, is that it
was the home of La Fontaine, next
to Aesop the most famous of fable
writer's. The ruins of the chateau,
or castle, from which the modern
town derives it's name, are twelve
hundred years old. We are told by
the Boston Transcript:
1t was Charles Martel. A. D. 720,
who built the chateau, and his glory
was to have saved Europe from the
Saracens. English archers took it in
the Hundred Years war, which Joan
of Arc, in whose Lorraine fields 9th
er Americans are waiting the word
on the German flank, entered in tri-
umph. Charles ", emperor of Ger
many, in the first half of the six
teenth century, got as far as Cha
teau-Thierry in a march upon Paris,
and half a century later the Span
iards sacked it in the wars between
Catholics and Huguenots. Again in
1914, it was at Chateau-Thierry that
Napoleon made a stand with 10000
conscripts against $4,000 troops Of
the allied rest of Europe. This was
in February, but in March his enc
mics entered Paris, and in few
weeks Napoleon was on his way to
Elba. One who saw Chateau-Thier-
ry early in the spring of the year
describes it as sweet old, fortified
town of 1000 people, no larger than
|, Wellesley or Ipswich, set in a fair
and peaceful countryside. In the
French revolution the story runs,
one woman was spared by the mob
simply and expressly because she
was the granddaughter of La Fon-
taine."

SAN Francisco, July 29.-Preparn-
ton of the Densmore report on the
Mooney case was under way for several
months before It came to his attention.
Fremont Older. editor OF the Call. said
here to-day In answering a charge of
Representative Blanton that the report

"Blanton's assertions bear the record

with the Mooney case and the Densmore
investigation knows that the Densmore
investigation was undertaken by Dens-
more and Government agents working
under him with the full authority and
sanction of Secretary OF Labor Wilson
and the Department of Justice. Presl-
dent Wilson himself authorized the labor
secretary's activity.

vealed the mass of corruption In the Dis
