PLANT YOUR GARDEN NOW and buy "BUIST'S" Reliable Seeds Flower and Vegetable ? all fresh. W. ROBIN ZEMP'S DRUG STORE Phone 30 Delivery Major MiIIh on the Job. Not nil South Carolinians who read in morning jww# papers yesterday the announcement made at New Haven by General Fries regarding impor tant progress attained in gas defense were aware that the technical direc tor of research and development work for the Chemical Warfare service is that sterling South Carolinian, James Edward Mills, late Major of the First Gas regiment, Thirtieth Engineers, : A. K. F. Major Mills in that deadliest of all fighting types, a Presbyterian scien tist. When he left his chair of chem istry at the University of South Car- , olina, in September, 1917, to enter military service, a line of his qualifi cation record which conceivably had to do with his assignment to combat German toxic gas was: "Studied in University of Berlin, 1901-05." His service proved of such value that in 1921, when he had reclamed his teach ing function, he was recalled by the Chemical Warfare service and placed in ^charge of its extensive research and development underU^jungs at the vast Kdgewood arsenal in Maryland. Creditable to its humanity, the United States has set. its face against the employment in warfare hereafter ?of poisonous gapes, but until men and nations shall have undergone much more growth in grace than may be .reasonably expected immediately, it would not be creditable to American common sense, not to pursue' studies and provide devices for gas warfare defense at least, it is therefore good news that a much more efficient mask has been evolved and that other nota ble progress has been made in the work which Major Mills directs. The Statd, 5th inst. Bridge Club Met. The first assembling of the Thurs day afternoon bridge club after the Lenten season was held at the home of Mrs. J. B. Zenvp with a full mem- ! bership present.
