HEAVY CASUALTY LIST

Death was particularly busy among
the members of the 66th congress.
No fewer than 15 of the 435 mem

"a period of unusual stress and strain,
in spite of the fact that the usual
amount of legislation has not been
turned out. A great deal of hard
work has been done by members
which on account of the uncertainty
of conditions, did not bear fruit.

fault; it was the fault of the shoes.
French soldiers would have done just
as much damage, and the British did
even much more to the Hotel Ma

polished floors were made for other
kinds of shoes, and they had to be

new and DEADLY
GAS IS DISCOVERED
Three Drops Will Kill Any
One Whose Skin Is
Touched.

New York, March 1.-THE Chem
ical Warfare Service has discovered
liquid poison so strong that three
drops will Xiii anyone whose skin is
touched 1T bocame known today
Falling like rain from nozzles at
tached to airplanes, the liquid would
kill everything in the aircraft's path,
according to a high official of the
service.
A description of what the new war
weapon would do, in the opinion of
this official follows:
"One plane carrying two tons of
the liquid could cover an area 100
feet wide by seven miles long in one
trip and could deposit enough ma
terial to kill every man in that area,
and IL those on the. ground were not
protected by gas masks, the area Of
fatality would be many times greater.
"The only limit to the quantity of
this liquid which could be made is
the amount of available electric pow
er. as nearly every nation has prac-
tically an unlimited supply of the
necessary raw materials. 1t would
be entirely possible for this country
to manufacture several thousand tons
per day If the necessary plants had
been built.
During the Argonne offensive the
entire first American army of l.
250,000 men occupied an area ap-
proximately forty kilometers long by
twenty kilometers wide. If Germany
had had 1000 tons of this material
and 400 plants equipped for its dis
tribution, the entire first army would
have been annihilated in twelve
hours.
"The Chemical Warfare Service is
developing protective clothing to en-
tirely cover the wearer and make him
impervious to the deadly liquid"

MAY PRESCRIBE
BEER BY CASES
Recent Ruling OF Palmer
Interpreted by "Dry"
Officers.

Washington, Marcn 12.-The re.
cent ruling OF former Attorney Gen
eral Palmer permitting the practical
iy unlimited manufacture of beer
wines and whisky for medicinal pur-
poses will stand, Solicitor General
Peterson said today. despite num-
her OF protests unless the Treasury
Department should ask for its recon-
sideration. Such request is not
under contemplation, 1t was said lat,
ey at the Treasury.
Opinions are issued by the Depart
ment OF Justice only to the President
and members of-the cabinet, Mr..
Frierson explained, and are not mat
ters in which private individuals may
participate. A review would only be
made, he added. on motion of the de-
partment originally making the re-
quest and change made where an
error OF law was found
Regulations to provide for the use
of beer medically will be issued as
soon as they can be prepared. prohi-
bition officials declared. altho they
had been delayed in earlier prepara-
tion on the possibility of the opinion
being reconsidered.
May Prescribe Cases.
Under this most recent interpreta-
tion of the prohibition law, officials
declared 1t would appear that a pa
tient for whom beer was prescribed
would be able to obtain it by the case
as It would probably be ordered as
tonic and II would appear unreason-
able to require person to procure
one or two bottles at time.
Study of the new ruling, officials
said, has disclosed that the whole
theory of prohibition enforcement on
which the internal revenue bureau
has been proceeding has been over
thrown. The prohibition unit, Of
ficials explained, has worked on the
theory that 1t possessed regulatory
powers under the act which permit
II to limit the use and distribution of
intoxicants excepted by Congress from
the general ban. BY the most re-
cent view of the law, however. Of
ficials maintained, 1t would seem that
this theory is now denied.
Must Amend Rules.
Existing regulations will have to
be considerably amended. officials
said, as various rules heretofore
promulgated by the bureau are af-
fected more or less directly by the
opinion. Drafting of new regulations
which had been tentatively agreed up
on before the opinion was received
and which would have further re-
stricted the distribution Of intoxi-
cants have been halted, they added,
pending determination of whether
they coincide with the Justice De-
partment's view of the law.

PRINT PAPER PROBE ASKED
Senator Harris Wants Federal Trade
Commission to Inquire

A resolution requesting the Federal
Trade commission to inquire into the
price of print paper during 1920 and
to ascertain whether or not "the news
papers of the United States are be-
ing subjected to unfair practices in
in the sale of print paper" was recent
ly introduced in the United States
Senate by Senator Harris.
The Senator explained that he was
anxious to ascertain why present high
prices continued to be charged for
print paper "when all other prices OF
manufactured articles had suffered
big declines" He charged that news
papers in contracting for their 1921
supplies were forced to make contracts
in which paper manufacturers reserv-
ed the right to fix their own prices
subject to quarterly readjustments.

DEATH OF MRS. LOGAN
Passes at Advanced Age of Eighty
Three

lict of the late Col. R. C. Logan, died
at her home in Kingstree about noon
Tuesday, February 8, 1921. She was
eighty-three years old on January q.
but all her faculties were strong un-
til the last moment of her life. She
went out on her piazza to enjoy the
sunlight; and while there sitting in
her chair, fell TO- sleep, passing into
the Beyond as peacefully as night fol.
lows day.
Col. and Mrs. Logan were married
on May 5, 1859, and had eight chill.
Idren, four Of whom survive: Mrs. P.

Joseph Scott, who was born during
the Revolutionary war, and of Mary
Matthews, both of whose ancestors
came two centuries ago among the
first settlers in Williamsburg county,
and her people have played promi-
nent part in all the history of this
section of South Carolina. Each o.
her grandfathers was an officers in
the Revolutionary war, many of her
kinsmen have shown valor in other
wars of this country and have been
distinguished for service in church and
state.
Bereft of her mother in early life,
Mrs. Loga came under the care OF
her older sister, the late Mrs. John
F. Brockington, from whom she
learned many things that went into
the making of her sterling character.
She was educated at home and at the
Zimmerman school in Columbia, an
institution famous in the fifties of the
last century.
Col. Logan was long influential. He
was the youngest man who signed the
Ordinance of Secession by which the
state of South Carolina withdrew
from the Union. He established and
edited the first newspaper published
in Williamsburg county. In all the
thrilling days for nearly fifty years.
through which Col. and Mrs. Logan
passed together, Secession, the war
between the sections, Reconstruction
and Readjustment, and for the long
period after his death, she showed her
self true to the most beautiful tradl-
tions coming to her generation, max
ing home her domain and the happi-
ness of her household her highest re-
ward.
For, more than sixty years, Mrs.
Logan lived in the Presbyterian faltn'
a member of the ancient Williams
burg church, and was buried In the
Williamsburg Presbyterian cemetary'

Rev. E. A. Mcdowell, officiating in the
