CHEMISTS DISCOVER
MOST POTENT POISON

The chemical warfare service has
discovered liquid poison so strong
that three drops win kin anyone
whose skin it touenes, says dis
patch from New York City.
Falling like rain from nozzles at
tached to alrplanes, tie liquid would
kill everything in the aireraft'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:
Zone 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 if those on the ground were not
protected by gas masks the area of
fatality would be many times
greater"

NO REDUCTION OF
FEDERAL TAXES

Congress has failed to decrease
appropriations to the point where
they will permit lower taxes, accord
ing to members of the senate finance
committee and the house ways and
means committee.
Appropriation bills passed during
the session which just closed, to-
gether with army and navy APP
preparation bills to be passed during
the special session of the new con-
gress, will total about S1,350,000,0 900,
or practically the same as provided
for the present fiscal year.
Speaking of the appropriations and
their relation to taxes, Senator Pen
rose, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, said that efforts would have
to be made to cut appropriations. He
referred specifically to agricultural
appropriations, whic h will total
more than S39,000,006 for the next
fiscal year.
Members of the house ways and
means committee and appropriations
committee favor further reductions.
The pruning will be greatest in the
sundry civil and legislative, ex-
ecutiNe and judicial appropriation
bills. 1t is doubtful that any effort
will be made to prune the army or
navy bills.
The cuts to be made in agrieuls
ture appropriations, suggested by
the head of the senate finance COM
mittee, will include the elimination of
seed distribution by congressman;
several investigations provided in
recent agriculture appropriation
bills and appropriations of more OF
less local nature.

We understand that the railroad

We understand that the railroad
commission takes the side of the rail-
road in the matter of the underpass
on the Columbia road below Prosper
ity. And yet the railroad agreed to
fix this before the road was built.
Why railroad commission any way.
We heard a gentleman say some time
ago that he regretted that the people
of Newberry ever took the matter up
with the railroad commission, that he
believed that if the people had gone
directly to the railroad authorities
that something could have been done
to remedy the trouble, and that the
underpass would long ago have been
fixed. But then the Southern agreed
to pay $500 toward the expense of
removing the grade crossings between
lSewberry and Prosperity and this
hey haye never done.

A really good conversationalist al
ways proves an excellent companion.
A somewhat pessimistic and perhaps
rather bored professor of .nathenat-
-ics in a great university said not long
ago that the art of brilliant converse
ton has been lost. Of course in this
we cannot agree. There are as many
good takers today as ever lived on
earth at one time in all history, and
there is no doubt that never before
have there been so many idle gossip
ers and bores. A good talker is
blessing and a delight. The gossiping
bore is an unpardonable nuisance.
Even good takers may become
bores. We are told that the great
DIR. Samuel Johnson, who was one of
the most gifted conversationalists of
all time, was frequently obliged to
hold his unwilling auditors by the la
pels of their coats in order to be able
20 pour into their ears his uninterest-
ing words. Even the great lexicog-
rapher became sometimes mere idle
gossiper.
If people should make it rule to
talk only when they have something
to say it is certain that the converse
tional standards of the times would
be considerably improved. Oliver
Goldsmith, one of DR.. Johnson's IA
nous contemporaries, was one of its
poorest takers. That was brilliant
literary club in which Johnson, Burke,
Sheridan and other great intellectuals
held membership, and in spite of the
fact that DR.. Johnson, in a singular
mood, once wrote that Goldsmith
"wrote like an angel but talked like
a parrot" it is recorded that every
time Goldsmith opened his mouth ne
said something worth while.
Good takers are always good think
ers and good listeners. If we would
become good conversationalists let US
learn to think.
Good takers generally make sure
that they have something really IN
teresting to say before they speak.
A great need of the age is more
thought and less gossip.

Removal of Preachers Skeleton

Yorkville Enquirer.
The Spartanburg Herald prints, on
the authority of Rev. S. T. Hallman,
an interesting recital of the removal
of the remains of an old Lutheran
preacher in Newberry county, one
hundred years after burial. The pc
culiar thing about the matter was that
the skeleton was in good condition;
but that was not all. 1t seems that
the roots of tree above the grave had
gone downward and enveloped the
skeleton almost from head to foot.
Rev. Mr.. Hallman seemed to see IN
this phenomena something bordering
on the miraculous; but evidently the
preacher does not know much of the
theory of scientific fertilization. Since
the roots of the overhead tree were
only after that plant food so neces-
sary for their rapid development and
since they found here just what they
wanted, nothing was more natural
than that they should crowd around
such a rich morsel. To be sure that
this old preacher was oall right; but
the pretty sentiment that has been
suggested in connection with the mat
ter of the tree roots has very little to
rest on. Had the body underneath
been that of a horse thief or an OK
the tree roots would have sought it
with no less eagerness.
