At Dillon Hrcause Company Had Failed
to Pay Taxes. j
Tii.- t?m Herald says:
Sheriff I-ane is the first Dillonite to
own a rullmnn car. The car is resting
quietly cm the side-track and will stay
there until the sheriff selttles a little
difference of $112 between the gmyjJty.audj
the I'ulliiian company. It is one of the ?
company's best cars and if the company i
docs not settle the sheriff will offer it
fur sale t > the highest bidder for cash, i
It all ,'caine about because the Pull
man company had refused or neglected'
to ]ia> n county tax amountini; to about
Jill'. Sheriff Lane had served tthem 1
with various notices, even registering ;
thorn a letter in which he told them lie
would have -to attach some of their ^
property if they did not pay the amount I
of the execution which had been issued
against? them. " 1
Monday morning No. 80 -dropped "a
Pulknnn car at Dillon to be used by
'
Dillon tthriners Tuesday afternoon on
a trip to Hpartauburg. The sheriff saw
his opportunity. Arxned with the neces
sary credentials he went down and took
imsseKKion of the car. It is a valuable
piece of property, costing probably
around $30,000, and the sheriff will havo
jio trouble finding bidders up to th?
amount of his execution if he offers it
for sale.

WAR'S DEADLIEST" l'OISON
American Chemist Produced (Jas More
Potent Than Any Huns Made.
Washington, May 24. ? -Guarded night
nuil day and far out of human reach
on a peclo-ral at the interior department
<'\p<si(i,,n here, is a tiny Wa>. It con
tain- a .specimen of the deadliest ixdson
ever known. It is* "Lewisite." a product
?>f mi American scientist. It is what
(Jerinany escaped by signing the armis
tice before' all the resources of the United
State* were turned up, >11 l^er.
Ten airplanes carrying "Lewisite"
would have wiped out every ' vestige of
life ? human, animal and* vegetable ? in
Berlin. A single day's output would
snuff out the 4,000.000 people in Man
hattan. A single drop poured in the
palm of the hand would penetrate to
the blood, reach the heart and will kill
the victim in great agony. ^
What was coming to Germany may
be imagined by the fact that when the
armistice was signed it wan being manu
factured at the rate of ten tons * day.
Three thousand tons of this most terrible
instrument ever conceived for killing
would have been retUly for business on
the American front in France on March
t.
"Lewisite" is another of the big se
crets of the war just leaking out. It
was develoiped in the bureau of mines by
Prof. W. Leo Lewis i?f Northwestern
'University, Evanston," 111., who took a
? commission as a captain in the army.
It was manufactured in a specially built
plant near Cleveland, Called the "mouse
trap", because every workman who en
tered the stockade went under an agree
ment not to leave the 11 acre space
until the war was won. This was done
to protect the secret.
Work oil the plant was started- 18
days after the bureau of mines had com
pleted its experiments. The other prep
arations to bring the gas into the war
went forwnrd with like ? speed but the
armistice prevented, the Germans from
ever experiencing a full realization of
what they had l>cgun when they turned
their primitive gases 011 the Canadians
in Flanders in Jthe early days of the
war.
Experts are certain no one will want
to steal the sample. Everybody at the
exj>osition showing what Secretary Lane's
department did and is doing keeps an
far away from it as possible.

There is that indescribable something about VELVET

of a friend. ? *
It is a satisfying smoke ? never harsh ; without a bite.
Like a friend it "agrees" with you no matter how
much you use it.

Secretary Daniels Urges Enlistments In
Among Soldiers of the Sea.
5 f
The Local Recruiting Office l& in re
reipt of the following telegram ^fjom the
Navy Department in "Washington : *?
"Secretary Daniels has cabled the Navy
Department from abroad directing that
enlistments be pressed with tall rigor.
The situation 'as regards personnel for
manning ships of the Navy is so acute
that every endeavor must be made to
obtain . an many first enlistments as
possible until (further orders. First en
listments in the recruiting scrvice as a
whole are ?satisfactory, taking into con
sideration industrial and reconstruction
activities, but are not up to the needs
of the Navy. The Navy Department ex
pects South Carolina to increase material
ly its weekly enlistments." ?
This is a direct appeal to the young
men of South Carolina. The little Pal
metto Staite has never yet fallen down
when tfae Nation intimated a need df hef '
- _ .
help and it is not expected that she
wrll fail at this time. There has .been
n great deal Of enthusiasm in the mat
ter of enlisting and taen have been
coining forward from every section of
the State. However, as the Department
riays, there is a special need now for
more and Vet more men to man the
greater Navy of today. Beside the ele
ment of service to ones country, there
is no getting round the fact that the
Navy offers opportunities "that must be
taken into consideration by every young
man who has an eye to the future. A
recent added advantage that must not
be overlooked is the chance the Govern
ment is giving the man in its service
to obtain insurance at a premium so
small that its payment is hardly felt
Kvery ma n enlisting should become fa
miliar wfcth thris new and attractive fea
ture of the service. At present there fc?
located at the Recruiting Office, Arcade
Building, at Coluxribia, an officer of the
Navy whose duty it is to give full in*
formation along this line and he will
be glad to point out the advantages of
Government Insurance to all applying
for information. This also applies to
dscbarged men of the Navy and Army
who are not familiar with the new form
of converted government nsurance.
