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. ,

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.

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.
