AMBASSADOR TO ITALY. 1 Mr. Robert Underwood . Johnson, whom President Wilson has appointed ambassador to Italy, as successor to Thomas Nelson Page, who resigned a' few months ago, has admiraible qualifications for the post. Mr. - Johnson has wide and accurate knowledge of public affairs, being at one time edi-l tor of the Century Magazine. He is a native of Washington, having been born there sixty seven years ago. To the Italians he has long been sympathetic. In 1917 he published "Italian Rhapsody" and Other Poems of Italy. It was due to Mr. Johnson's urgent requests that General Grant publish-' ed his memoirs. CRAP SHOOTER EXEMPTED. f In the records of the Provost Marshal General Crowder's department at Washington is to be found a claim for exemption from the draft by the "champion negro qrap shooter" of South Carolina, and perhaps, of the world. It was solely because of this particular negro's ability to "roll the bones" that his exemption was demanded by a big lumber concern for whom he worked. i The case has been voted by all inspectors in Generad Crowder's offices as the most unusual of the thousands which came from throughout the nation. The president of the lumber concern, the general manager, and other officials filed affidavits to the effect that the "expert crap shooter" was necessary to the conduct of the company's business of filling government contracts. The company employed negro labor almost solely and the affidavits set forth that it could not maintain its force of laborers unless on pay day the champion did not win all the wages of the other em-' ployees as so long as the. negroes had money they would not work. Strange to say the local board actually exempted the negro on the evi-', dence contained in the affidavits filed by officers of the company. Natur-1 ally it was disallowed by the provost marshal's office. , il i The Hellespont. Charley Janides is a builder himself. He first built up a big trade at the Dixie Cafe, where he served fine meals at reasonable prices, in doing; which he also built uo a small for1 tune. Last summer he invested some | I Ij? of his riches in a store building on || the Public Square. This store build- || ing he has recently remodeled and in || it he will continue to run a first class || Cafe, while the upstairs has been cut || up into ten rooms, all of which have j| been handsomely finished and neatly || furnished. These he will rent out to if roomers or transients. He plans after f| a little to put up another story and (i thus have twenty rooms unstead of 11 ten. He has installed bathrooms and 1| fr>iWe; nn this floors .and in every II way made the second story a modern jf rooming house. He has been looking around for a if good name for the place and hasjf finally decided to call it The Hel--I lespont. 5 = A Spartan Beauty. II III Col. Mike Harry Kustus, who has ] a "Place" on Trinity Street, and who|{ constructed the modern apartment i house, with the Grecian portico, lo-jj cated on Washington Street, has | named it the Archipelago. In this s modern building sbme days ago Col. | and Mrs. Kustus took up their resi- jf dence, and Thursday, morning their || hearts were made happy by the ar- || rival of a pretty Greek girl baby, jf who has not yet been named but who || should be named for one of the || Graces. Mrs. Kustus as well as the Colonel, is a native of Sparta,Greece. Her maiden name was Alice Kapetanakas, and she is a relative of our other wor-| thy citizens who run the Columbia Candy Kitchen. Their friends congratulate them { cn the arrival of the pretty young j lady, and hope that they may live'] long enough to see the whole Archi- || pelago thickly inhabited. ? iOUSE CONTINUES CLEAN-UP SPURT fi S3 Columbia, Feb. 11.?Special: The jf House 'of Representative today con-'jj tinued its work of clearing its caien-'i} dar in order to have the way clear1 | I to consider important legislation at J the end of the session, which will1 have to run at least eight days over the alloted forty days. The Barnwell bill rejuvenating' and enlarging the powers of the. State Board of Medical Examiners,' which has caused a prolonged fight,, was passed today without debate. It.^j has been amended so as to exempt those practicing the precepts of ^ Christian science from its provisions. cc The measure providing for an an- ^ nual audit of the books of county auditors gave rise to a storm of discus-' cJnn in tho lnwpr hndv. hut vas final * Qj ly successfully carried to third reading by a vote of 46 to 21, after the ^ motion to reject it had failed by a w vote of 48 to .'{j. 110 i Another bill which created much debate was that changing the time ^ the hunting season from including s< Thanksgiving day, of one year, to S1 March 1, of the next year. However, 0 after being amended to clarify the ^ meaning of the measure, it was given 1s1 its second reading. The bill of the select highway com-! \ mittee for good roads appeared on I 1 the House calendar this morning asj a second reading measure, but was) not debated nor made , a specir.l or-| der. Mr. Owens, of Marlboro, Jaid n on the desk of, the Speaker three b amendments to it, which wii! be con- ^ siderdd when the bill comes up for discussion.
