CAN HOUSE RECEIVE VETO MESSAGES? Unusual Point Engages the Attention of the State t Legislature GOOD ROADS MOVE BEFORE THE SENATE Belser Resolution -to Be Considered in the Upper Body. Columbia.?When the house met at 10 o'clock Friday morning it was confronted by a point that so far as is known had never been before rais- \ ed in South Carolina legislature his- ! tory. Thursday was supposedly to be the last day in which the governor could return to the General Assembly a bill passed at the last session with his veto. The governor had seven vetoes to leturn to the house. He expected that the house would be in session at the last one hour but instead it adjourned in twenty-two minutes, the j irnvm*nr?v ~ 4-1. -. ; 0 V V .. V." IC.IItVI IV/ RVJl, | messages in. The question now is j whether a legislative day or the day | of the month is meant. The legis- j lative day so far as the house was concerned ended when the house adjourned. The senate did not meet until noon. Consideration of the Belser resolution providing for the appointment of committees from the house and senate to study good roads legislation will feature the day in the senate. AGREEMENT REACHED TO ISSUE STATEMENT Paris.?The question of whether the peace conference is to be secret 01 wholly open to the eyes and ears of the world, the settlement of which has been long awaited, was brought j to a focus when it was announced | that an agreement had been made to oonnne the inrormation given the public to a daily official communique and that a gentleman's agreement prevailed among the delegates not to discuss or in any way give information of the meetings in the foreign office. No written official announcement of this purpose was issued, but word was passed out to this effect, and it was followed by an explosion of protests which quite drowned out the doings of the peace commissioners. The understanding is that the American and British delegates op posed this decision but the French, Italians and Japvnese voting together prevailed. laby Coming To Your Home? * ?

"I regard the goo.l roads legislation that will come up at this session . of the general assembly as second in importance to no other legisla- ! tion/' declared Senator W. F. Lightsey of Hampton county. "The time has come when something must be done to -relieve the people of the . State from the terrible roads that now handicap their progress. A. start must be made in this session.".. Senator Lightsey declared that ho would favor most heartily the legislation that would be introduced by request of the central good roads campaign committee. "This lcjgislation was framed only after several ( nilfot'finrnv nf ponmyonl of ixrr? mnii V...VVU VX X vjr I VUVJlVliVi TV/ HIV ?? from all over the State had been held and there had been a full discussion 1 of the best method of procedure. The members of the State highway commission and the State highway onginecr participated in the conferences. "The proposition to change the act creating the commission so as to provide for one representative from each congressional district and the three senior professors of civil engineering at our State colleges ap| peals to me as being a very good one. There is no objection to the present personnel of five men. Under the new plan three of these five men would certainly be retained on the commission and I wculd personally be very much delighted if the other two should be chosen to represent their respective congressional distiicts. The idea in enlarging the commission was to give every section of the State representation. We want on the commission men of large bus mess capacity, who will have the vision and force to construct the system determined upon in the quickest time and most economical manner. l"Thc plan for increasing the automobile licenses in 1920 ro as to enable the highway commission to construct bridges during that year and to lay out systems determined upon is also a splendid one. If this is done we will be ready to go right to work when the bonds are voted. "The amount of the State bond issue to be voted for the permanent system of highways has been left for the next session of the. legislature so j that its total can he more accurately > determined. It will be possible to: estimate what the cost of construe- | Uon during: the n-'xt few days will j be a few months from now than at the present time when things are still unsettled from the recent war. "In the meantime, however, 1 do hope that the various counties of the j State will put out bond issues and ! begin the construe' :rn of the fyst< m, upon the agreement that the amount so invested will he returned i ' out of any State bond issue, and th I funds will then become available for j county 1 oad.; Jeading into the main j highway. "The tinv has come for South Car1 olina to act and act decisively. We can no longer tarry along with th" roads of our State. During th.e pa -t four or five years they have collapsed due to the increase of the automobiles. The automobilists of the State realize that they are in a large meas urc responsible for this collapse of the roads and are willing, I believe, t5 stand the cost of building permanent highways. iDCDinvi A a v ' )1 LIVU11AM1 I Rundown and Unable to ft Work 1 "1 am phjnsod to recommend F'oiuim uh It wiis beneficial In i-rstorliiK my health when 1 waa * all run down from overwork and ^ nrrvouN worry and wiih unable to lake up my regular work.

THE MOUNT VERNON HONOR ROLL. Twas a clear September morning, Of the fifth, on Thursday morn; With a rainbow, Sailor's warning? Arched across the radiant dawn; And our proud ship swiftly steaming To the throb of engine's pound, Seemed to chime in with our dreaming To the tunc of homeward bound. All the firemen fain would tarry On the boat deck in the? sun, Ere they go below to carry Rest to mates whose work is done; Rut the hour is seven-fifty, All the watches change at eight And we see them rise and swiftly Go below to meet their fate. For a submarine is lurking, Listening to our engines throb; Now the periscope is working As they plan their hellish job; Larks our forward gun a warning, Answers back the tell tale wake, Death the U-Boat now is scorning With Mount Vernon as its stake. # Comes the swift torpedo winging, Straight he and sure has been their aim As our huge transport is swinging For position in the game; Far amidship strikes the warhead, Just beneath the boiler room, Squarely on our center bulkhead, Hurling firemen to their doom. Thirty thousand tons of metal Lifted, twisted, cracked and bent, Ten feet lower soon we settle As the water fills the rent; Dead three dozen loyal brothers, Shipmates true and heroes bold, Pride of sweethearts, wives, and I mothers J^ow adorn the honor roll. Ere our ship has ceased to shiver. Depth bombs roll from off her stem, Salvos roar and engines quiver As the U-Boat's might we spurn; Every man sticks by his station, "Stand by us 'till death" is naval law, Traditions of our mighty nation Again are kept without a flaw. Soon we circle wide the ocean Like a crippled bird in flight, While destroyers spread emotion With the searching depth bomb's might; Then to port our ship is headed, Listed low and wounded sore; Off across the war zone dreaded Back three hundred miles to shore. Sixteen hours of sper-steaming On one-half our boiler power, Brings us to a lighthouse gleaming Traveling fourteen knots an hour; Through a mined, and narrow channel, Dark and swept by in-bound tide; Wa*er logged and hard to handle ni' i 1 i l n ? i viiKics our snip 10 oertn insiae. Letters, wireless orders, cables Praise our Captain and his crew, For the work so brave and able Which has brought us safely through. Hut our hearts arc bowed with sorrow, And the praise is tinged with pain; | As we view with deeping borrow, Thirty-six of comrades slain. Theirs the price and theii'S the glory, Ours the task to "Carry on;" Theirs the light to history's story, Ours to fight 'till war is won? j 'Till the sacred right of freemen And the gleam of freedom's light; I Meets and beats the brutal demon, Triumphant in the right o'er 1 might. ?W.

GREATEST WARSHIP A MARVEL OF SPEED Britain's New Type Shows Advance Over Our Best?Four Are Being Built. London.?Although no official statement has yet been made it is j understood that the British warship j Hood, now nearing completion, will be the largest fighting vessel in the world.
