engagement. -...'r
The dead are: Private Albert Cook
West Almond, N. Y, Private Harry
v. Garman; mother, Mrs. Laura
Garmon, Catawba, Va; Private Leo
E. Radi, Cleveland. Ohio.
These are the first reports of mer
killed in action in more than two
months. In the opinion of army Of
ticers here, the appearance of "kill
ed in actin" in the reports does not
necessarily mean that American
battalions have returned to thu
front line trenches for further trair
ing after an absence Of some weeks
but that is the Interpretation being
generally placed on, the news.
For military reasons the War De
partment declined today to say
whether a definite sector has beer
taken over by the Americans.
Casualties resulting from partici
patton by an American company ir
accommodating party conducted by
French troops or from chance hit
by enemy artillery among a party
Of dispatch riders would all be re-
ported under the head of killed ir

Accumulated Daring Last Few
wesAs Can Not Be Handled
on Account Of the Cold and
leo.

Washington, Jan. 23.-An uno1-
fetal embargo on all freight except
food. fuel and munitions practically
was in effect tonight east OF the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, as result OF
Director General McAdoo's author
lied embargo today on three Eastern
trnnk lines. Although the restric-
ton was applied formally only to
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore
and Ohio east of Pittsburg and the
Philadelphia and Reading, other rail
roads accepted little freight today
particularly if it was destined for
eastward movement.
To Last Several Days.
This situation probably will con-
tinue for several days, until milder
weather permits railroads to begin
to move the great quantity OF gen.
eral freight accumulated during the
past two weeks
Factors contributing to the unof-
fetal Eastern embargo were the
priority of movement for coal and
foodstuffs, and the continued pref
erence in coal deliveries given to do
nestic consumers, ships and certain
industries. The ban on coal con-
sumption was officially lifted at mid
night last night, but scores OF man.
ufscturing plants, unable to divert
coal from the stream flowing to the
more essential industries remained
closed or prepared to suspend oper-
atoms in a day or two when their
available stocks are gone.

Columbia, Jan. 23.-The house

a day and the number Of days il
session is not to exceed 80.
Debate on the measure tonight
was characterized by violent attacks
on A. w. Jones, chairman OF the
commission. He was characterized
by Mr.. Hemphill Of Chester as the
"kaiser of the tax commission" He
stood there, he emphatically an
nounced mot only to abolish the
state tax commission, but to abolish
the name of A. W. Jones from the

N that the senate has taken a

UNOFFICIAL EMBARGO.
EAST OF MISSISSIPPI
BLEASE MEN FAIL
ELECT CANDIDATE
At Meeting Columbia
Blease Endorsed for
u. S. Senator.

Columbia, Jan. 2S.-The conVen-
ton Of the Reform Party Of South
Carolina in session here this after
noon refused to place itself on rec
ord as endorsing any one man from:
among the party's ranks as a candl-
date for governor.
John G. Richards and Thos. H.
Peoples, both Of whom are bidding
for the party's favor, made speeches
before the convention and agreed to
a proposition that all prospective
Reform candidates, save one, be
eliminated. There was strenuous oh
lection to this by number of dele
gates and dehate on the question
lasted over two hours. Although no
definite action was taken, it is un-
!erstood that delegates from each
county viii get an expression from
the voters therein as to who their
favorite candidates is and meet in
Columbia later and decide who
shall be the party5's candidate for
governor
While Richards and Peoples agreed
to the eliminating process, w. A.
Stuckey of Bishopville said he was
opposed to it, and regardless Of who
was the choice of the Reform Party
he expected to make the race for
governor. He has .aready made a
solemn promise, he said, to large
number of farmers to be their can
didate, and expected to live up to
that promise. Mr.. 1Stuckey made his
position clear and then left the hall
" Eventually the purity lis expected
to endorse for governor either John
G. Richards, Thos. II. Peoples, W.
A. Stuckey or John L. ?McLaurin.
The latter was not present today.
The convention adopted a resolu-
ton endorsing Cole L. TBlease for
the United States senate. There was
no hesitancy or debate on this reso-
luton.
Another resolution, expressing
faith in the good intentions of the
Charleston American, was adopted.
The resolution called nn the Postmas
ter General to reinstate the Ameri-
can to the mails as second class
matter. This privilege was taken
from the paper some weeks ago. John
P. Grace, editor of the American,
was present and took very active
part in the convention.
The convention went on record
as being behind the President of
Ire United States in carrying on the
war ard pledge1 the services nf the
party to the Democratic admipistra-
ton.
It is very probable that either
Richards or Peoples will, in the end,
be the party's choice for governor.
Both and scores CT friends hc"e TO-
day.

WHO VIII Win
This Battle ?"

Your kidneys are the filters of the
body. If they become inactive and fail
to eliminate the waste matter, they are
apt to throw the whole mechanism
OF the body out of order, thus toxic
poisons can accumulate in the system
and be as deadly as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments
of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
backache, neglect of the kidneys is apt
to develop into more serious diseases,
such as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body OF toxic poisons-clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric
and you win the battle OF life.
Anurc was first discovered by DR..
Pierce, and has benefited thousands OF
sufferers as well as appeased and elimi-
nate d the ravages of the more serious
kidney diseases. Now procurable for
60 cents at any good drug store, or
send Or. V. NJ. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y,
