NEW YORK LIKED COME ALONG

The first musical visitors to en-

goers in the new season just starting
is "Come Along which comes along
Thursday, Oct. Is at the Opera House.
Bide Dudley, a writer whose special
columns of wit and hunor are among
the leading features Of the New

the authorship of the play, and John
Louie Nelson holds up his right hand
as composer of the melodies. Neither
of these gentlemen need feel asham-
ed of their joint ecorts, for from all
reports the piece is what can be just
ly termed a real ''hit."
The New York critics liked it, and
that's saying something. The New
York public went to see it at the
Nora Bayes Theatre, and that's some
thing, too What's more, they liked

WHAT THE GERMANS ESCAPED.
'Lewisite," the Deadliest Gas Ever
Invented, was Ready for Them.

Washington, May 24.-Guarded
night and day, and far out Of human
reach, Oh a pedestal at the Interior
department Exposition here, is
tiny vial. 1t contains a specimen Of
the deadliest poison ever known. 1t
is "Lewisite," a product of an Ameri-
can scientist. 1t Is what Germany
escaped by signing the armistice be-
fore all the resources Of the United
States were turned upon her.
Ten arplanes carrying Lewis
ite" would have wiped out every
vestige Of life--human, animal and
vegetable--in Berlin. a single days
output would snuff out the 4,000,-
600 lives on Manhattan. A single
drop poured into the palm of the
hand would penetrate to the blood,
reach the heart and would kill the
victim in great agony.
What was coming TO Germany may
be imagined by the fact that when
the armistice was signed it was being
manufactured at the rate of ten tons
a day. Three thousand tons of this
most terrible instrument ever con-
ceived for killing would have been
ready for busin ess on the American
front in France on March 1.
'Lewisite' is another Of the big
secrets of the war just leaking out.
1T was developed in the bureau Of
mines by Prof w. Lee Lewis, Of
Northwestern University, Evanston,
ILL.,, who took commission as a
captain in the army. 1t was manu-
factured in specially built plant
near Cleveland, Ohio, and this plant
was called the "house trap" because
every workman who entered the
stockade went under an agreement
not to leave the eleven-acre space un-
til the war was over and won. This
was to protect the secret.
Work on the plant was started
eighteen days after the bureau Of
mines had completed its experiments.
The other preparations to bring the
gas into the war went forward with
like speed, but the armistice pre-
vented the Germans from ever expe-
riencing full realization Of what
they had begun when they turned
their primitive gases on the Canadi-
ans in Flanders in the early days Of
the war.
Experts are certain no one will
want to steal the sample. Everybody
at the ex. osition showing what Sec
retary Lanes department did and is
doing keeps as far away from it as
possible.

CONGRESS ASKED FOR MUCH.
Loss in Operating Railroads Passing
Oh to Half Billion,

Washington, May 24.--To finance
the railroads for the remainder Of
this year, and to pay the govern
ment's operating loss for 16 months
up to this month, an appropriation
Of 81 ,200,000,00O was asked of Con-
gress to-day by Director General
Hines. More may be sought later If
the government continues to lose
heavily in operation.
The $1,000, 1000 is in addition
to the $500, 100000 appropriated by
the last Congress, and includes the
$3.50, 100000 which failed Of appro-
priation when the session ended in
a flibuster.
Out Of this appropriation, which
Congress will be asked to expedite,
railroads will be paid the sums due
them months ago as standard COM
penSation, and for which they have
accepted the railroad administra-
tion's certificates of Indebtedness.
On security Of these certificates they
have borrowed from banks and the
war finance corporation to meet their
current corporate obligations in re-
cent months. This temporary system
Of financing will be eliminated as
soon as Congress provides funds.
Approximately S6,0O0,00o rep
resents the governments loss in ope-
rating the railroads from January 1,
1918, when private control ended,
and May 1st last. This Is the diff
ference between the sums for which
the government is obligated to pay
the railroads on contracts and the net
actual operating income from opera
tions. The balance, or about ST.
214, 100000 Of the 81, 1,700,n00,000
now appropriated or sought, repre-
sents working capital to be paid to
the government eventually. This was
explained by Mr.. Hines in his request
for the appropriation, submitted to
Congress through Secretary Glass.
The deficit last year was $685.
of this year the governments loss
was about 100000. These, Mr..
Hines said, are clearly losses due to
the war, and ought to be treated as
such. BY reason Of the after-the-
war factors tending to important
changes in the situation, the esti-
mate here submitted does not at
tempt to forecast results beyond the
first four months of this calendar
year
This comment Of the director gen
eral prompted belief that the admin
istration might have to call on Con-
gress for additional funds to make
up future deficit. Such situation
might be met by raising rates, but
the director general has stated re-
Gently that he does not wish to con-
slider this until opportunity has been
given for general business conditions
which are reflected in traffic to be
restored to more normal basis
This Is interpreted as meaning that
there probably will be no rate ad-
vances before next fall, and the direc-
tor generals attitude is that 1t may
then he unnecessary to raise them.

TWO MOTORS FOR OCONEE ROAD
Work-AiachineS VIII be Shipped to
Our County from Indianapolis.

Columbia, May 24.-Special: The
State Highway Commission has been
notified by the Federal Bureau Of
Roads that 70 Of the 296 motor
trucks which are to be- turned over
TO the commission are ready for ship
meMt. The State Highway Commits
sion has instructed the Bureau Of
Public Roads to have two two-ton
Nash quadruple-drive trucks sh!ppad
from Indianapolis to Oconee county.
The trucks will be turned over to
the road authorities OF Oconee for
use in maintaining or constructing
roads built in whole or in part with
Federal aid.
Counties which have made no pro-
vision to use Federal aid in construct
ing roads or bridges cannot, under
the law, share in the distribution Of
trucks from the Federal Bureau Of
Public Roads. These trucks are part
Of the surplus war equipment built
by Uncle Sam for use in whipping
the Huns. An act Of the last Con-
gress instructed the Secretary of War
to turn over to the Secretary Of Ag-
rlculture for distribution to the State
Highway Commissions, through the
+ ederal Bureau Of Public Roads, all
surplus war equipment, including
trucks. 1t is expected that South
Carolina will get good deal more
road-building equipment and sup
plies besides the 296 trucks which
have been given to the State.

usT FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THE DAY: THOU CA]
U. S. COMMISSIONER IS BUSY.
Officers Are Kept Busy Looking AZ
ter the Makers OF '"IrOuble Juice"


U. S. Commissioner w. G.. Hughs
has been rather busy the last few
days listening to "moonshine stories
enough to make one drowsy.
Two young boys, Garnet Elrod and
,1enry Garner, were with a fishing
party on Tugaloo river recently. me
party got thirsty, and the boys were
sent to obtain refreshment. They
had a half gallon fruit jar full Of
liquor on the seat between them
when they met the ofilcers-and
stopped. We do not know what hap
pened to the thirsty fishing party.
Both these youngsters were bound
over to higher court.
Willie Kelley, of the Cheohee Sec
tion of Oconee, was wilfully depriv-
ing "nu sufferers" on the South Car
olina side Of much needed CD medi-
cine by working in plant about one
and half miles on the Georgia side.
The officers could not put up with
any such conduct, and interrupted
him while he was busily engaged
stirring the meal into the hot water
to make the mash" Bond was made
for his appearance higher up
Out in the Oak Grove section, on
e. l.. Graham's place, was little
old shack in the edge Of field, 1873
steps from Mr.. Graham's house and
20 steps from the house Of a tenant,
o. l.. Scarborough. When visited by
the officers there was nobody home"
but the still, which had good fire
under it, and a convenient wash-tub
was there also to aid the officers in
catching illegal liquor. In a flower
pit not far away the flowers had all
turned to booze-and twelve or fif-
teen gallons at that. Scarborough
seems to have known that Mr.. Gra-
hams place had spirits on it, but
sioner sent Scarborough up for know
ing about it, and he sent Graham up
because he owned the land and did
net know about it.
J. T.. Morgan, Allen Harbert and
Garland Burdett refused to stop their
automobile and aid the officers in
fixing theirs when it was broken
down on the side of the road. The
officers took out after them, and
seemed to be gaining, for "ballast'
in the shape Of n jug and a bottle
were seen to fly from the first ma
chine as the chase warmed up. Upon
investigation Harbert was exonera-
ted, but Morgan and Burdett were
requested to explain to the judge why
they would not stop and help Off
GERS in distress.
And so the merry struggle goes on.
The men and boys Of certain Sec
tons and certain classes will make
booze, and some will drink it, and
there just has to be some one who
will transport 1t, making the mid
dleman as between producer and con-
sumer. And the fficers?-well, it
seems that they never tire Of chas-
ing the willy handler of "moonshine,"
and they are out day after day and
night after night, with varying de-
grees Of success. 1t does seem, how
ever, that surely, in the not far dis
tant future, the handlers of liquor
will realize that the sentiment Of
the general public is "ag'in it," that
the law and officers are hot after
them, and that the sensible thing to
do is to 60 to work at some occupa-
ton that will be at once lawful and
useful
