Lance; Fletcher; South Carolina suffered her great est loss of recent years by the death of Senator Benjamin Eyan Tillman, better known as "Pitchfork Ben," the veteran democratic senator , and chairman of the naval affairs com mittee. Senator Tillman was paralized in his left side completely. After a day or' two of illness no hopes 'werevheld out for the Senator's recovery. He lingered between life and death sev eral days and then passed away After filling the governor's office for two terms he went to the Senate in 1894 and has served his state and country continuously ever since. He has been spoken of as one of the most picturesque figures in congress anil public life. In speaking of Senator Tillman's death, Secretary of the Navy Daniels said-: "The country owes a lasting debt of gratitude to Senator Tillman for the development of the navy. He had the vision of a powerful navy and lived to carry through measures that have enabled it to reach its present high state of efficiency and the legislation he championed will give to America a fighting navy worthy of our great republic. It was under the leadership of Senator Tillman that ifche three-year building program was enacted before Ameri ca entered this war. That construc tive piece of legislation, a radical de parture from all precedents, cannot be appraised at its true value today. Only when all the mighty ships, pro vided in that bill, are commissioned, will the country fully appreciate its obligation to Senator Tillman and his associates. That was his most last ing service, but was only one of the many wise measures enacted under his chairmanship of the senate com mittee. The navy in every function had been helped by hi?, intelligent interest and service. Pie knew all the chief naval officers and kept in touch with all naval activities. He was beloved by every man in the navyand in spirit all will be in mourning when his body is laid to rest." - y SOCIETY NEWS Louise -and Harry Matthews, of Columbia, are visiting their grand mother, Mrs. J.

Mr. and Mrs. Chap Huger, of Sum ter, S. C, have arrived and are oc cupying their summer home on Shaw's Creek road about one mile from town.' Henderson county has felt the touch of the long arm of the food administration for violations of food regulations. While there has ben a great deal said about the regulations as they apply to flour and sugar, no penalties had been fixed locally until recently, when E. B. Gresham, of the Kanuga Lake hotel, was found to have what the regulations interpreted as an ex cessive supply of sugar and flour. W. Marshall Bridges, the local food administrator, had intimation that Mr. Gresham had stored too' much sugar and flour and an investi gation revealed that there were 2,020 pounds of sugar and ten barrels of flour on the premises. This was con sidered too much sugar for one month's consumption, and further more there were no guests and the hotel was not open. Supplies can not under the ruling be bought one month for use during another. Mr. Bridges thought that three barrels of flour would have been the limit, under the .food regulations and therefore considered ten barrels an excessive amount. Mr. Bridges took the matter up with State Food Administrator Page as a result of which two hearings were given Mr. Gresham, on June 10 and June 28 with Mr. Humber, first assistant of Mr. Page, present at the latter hearing. At the sug gestion of Mr. Page, Mr. Bridges agreed upon a penalty of $500 on the condition that it be paid to the local Red Cross chapter. These pro ceedings ere not released for pub Kction jinfiriast Fridav: "r"' Small Consumer in Trouble. While these proceedings are of pe culiar interest to hotels and boarding housesfc a later proceding, in which a colored man will have a hearing this week, wil be of interest to the average consumer. The negro is charged with hoarding too much sugar and flour. He is said to have purchased quite a large amount of sugar in two-pound quantities. He had an excess of the finest flour on the market stored away for a rainy day. Mr. Bridges is determined to dis charge his duties as local food ad ministrator and says that it matters not how painful the duty, he will in vestigate and act upon matters com ing to his atention regardless of the strata of society affected. . Important to Boarding Houses. Boarding houses with a 25-guest capacity are required to file appli cation with the state food adminis trator at Raleigh on or before July 15, provided they wish a certificate by which they may purchase sugar during the remainder of 1918. With out this certificate the boarding houses will not be able to buy sugar. THE m THIS II mm Last Thursday Hendersonville "was the scene of a great Fourth of July ceie oration, wnicn was m every re spect even greater than was antici pated. The carnival was on hand and gave continuous performances throughout the day for the benefit of those who had come to Hendersonville to spend the day. The-parade which was to have be gun at 3:30 was postponed until 6:30 Promptly at the prescribed hour the parade began, starting on north Main street and continuing down the street to the Blue Ridge Inn, at-which point it turned and went back up Main street. The pa rade was headed by Brownlow Jack son and Chief of Police Powers. They were followed by a band from the carnival which gave great music during the entire march. The home guards were next in line, followed by the Red Cross float, which was dec orated in pure white. All automo biles and other vehicles followed be hind the Red Cross float and helped to make the parade a success. Gov ernor T. W. Bickett reviewed the parade from the band stand on Main street. At 3 o'clock there was a game of ball between a local team and the team at Laurel Park camp, which re sulted in a score of 7 to 5 in favor of the camp boys. There was a good crowd on hand and the entire pro-. ceeds were "given to tne-nenaerson-ville Red Cross. It is understood that. there will be a game of ball between the camp boys and a Camp Sevier team some time in the near future when the locals have got more of their men in shape.
