JOINT GOOD ROADS
 CONVENTION ENDED
Closing Session Is Marked By Addresses of Townsend
 and Bankhead
By Associnted Press

Greensboro. N. C., April 22.-The joint meeting of the United States Good Roads association and the BanShead National Highway association closed here tonight with addresses by Senator Charles b. Townsend of Michigan and Representa- tive W. B. Bankhead of Alabama
 Senator Townsend declared it was not the place of the government to build county roads and not a dollar should be appropriated from the national treasury which does not do a dollars worth of good toward building the national sys- tenn.
 You of the south who always have believed in states rights wish to pre- serve some rights of the states in road building" he declared.
 He said he had discussed the road question with President Harding and the President had remarked that never would another dollar be voted with his consent unless the national end was up permost
 Representative Bankhead declared thai the federal road system which the as sociations are undertaking to advance deserves the nations help because the farmer is so disadvantaged by traffic costs as to be put out of the running For instance, it costs the farmer within two cents as much to haul ton of freight nine miles as it costs a railroad to haul it 256 miles,
 To such a system he looks for deliver ance from excessive railroad rates, par ticularly of freights, It is these tariffs which are well night destroying busi- ness, he declared.
 Countess Constance de Caen of France spoke in the afternoon She told of the excellent roads in France, declaring tkat the good roads saved us as they did at Verdun."
 "You have a great country, a great people, the greatest inventions and the greatest manufacturing in the world, " declared the countess, but you must not get angry when I say this. Your coun- try can be invaded It can be invaded on the north, the south the east or the west. Unless you have roads leading up to your frontiers that might happen any time. But if a nation did invade Amer ica, France would be the first to come to your defense" Great applause greet ed the speaker

ORIGINAL CONFEDERATE SEAL IS IN ENGLAND.
 THINKS MARSE HENRY
Bx Associated Press

Louisville, Ky, April 22.-Henry Wat terson today revealed a bit of history in connection with stories of the disappear ance of the Great Seal of the Confed.. eracy. about which has been written re- gently and gave it as his belief that the original is somewhere in Europe, probably in England
 MT. Watterson has one of the six orig inal copies of the great seal Tt was obtained in this way" he said today at his home at Mansfield, near Louisville:
 When Judah P. Benjamin left this country forever to locate in London he intrusted the great seal to his secretary, man named Cromwell year or two after the war Cromwell became my fathers law clerk in Washington city. My father had the copies made and Cromwell retained the seal. Sometime later Cromwell went to London to join MT. Benjamin, who took care of him until he died. sometime in the seventies.
 He took the seal to England with him. I have doubt it was in his ef- fleets and that it now reposes somewhere over on the other side"
 MT. Watterson is widely known as the former editor of the Louisville Courier Journal.
 A seal widely accepted by authorities as the original is in the Confederate museum at Richmond, Va.
