The Tribune force mOurns the loss
Of good friend. Quite often in the
past, as Mr.. Sullivan came by after a
hard days work, he would stop and
say to us, "You got out mighty good
paper to-day" Mr.. Sullivan was one
among the few who ever stopped to
express appreciation for the work we
are trying to do for Westminster in
getting out newspaper, and he was
always ready to help us in any way
possible.
Mr.. Sullivan began life poor man,
but by pluck, energy, perseverance
and persistent work he climbed the
ladder Of success round at time, and
at the time Of his death was counted
one Of Oconee's wealthiest citizens.
Mr.. Sullivan was Master Mason,
being member of Westminster
Lodge, No. 200, A. f. NJ. His life
was we'll insured in different old line
companies.
Funeral services were held in the
Westminster Baptist church at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, and the
church was filed to overlowing with
sympathizing friends, all the business
houses being closed, and large num-
Der being present from Walhalla,
Seneca, Greenville, Anderson, Madi-
son, Toccoa and other parts of South
Carolina and Georgia. The pastor,
Rev. w. r. Mcmillan, read appropri-
ate Scripture verses and made a few
brief and touching remarks, and
prayers were offered by Rev. ]. A.
Martin, OF Emmanuel Baptist church.
and Rev. j. e. Wallace, Of the Pres.
byterian church. All the exercises
were brief and simple, in keeping
with the wishes Of the deceased. Rev
J. Deane Craine, Of Greer, close per
sonal friend Of the deceased, paid a
fitting tribute to his life, character
| and works.
A more beautiful and elaborate
floral Offering was never seen here, a
number of wreathes coming from
members OF the South Carolina
Bankers Association and from
church, Sabbath school and friends
The following composed the active
pallbearers: J. NJ. Bruner, w. s.

FACING GERMAN SPY SQUADS.
America Realizing Danger Of Spies
In Many Quarters.

Washington, July 5.-Omcials,
who for obvious reasons cannot be
quoted, declared to-day that If the
governments activities against Ger
man spies in the United States could
be published, the news would startle
the world.
While not admitting they are con-
vinced that the spy system was en-
tirely responsible for the massed
submarine attack on the transports
Of Gen. Pershing's expedition, it was
said that the combined forces Of the
State, War, Navy and Justice De-
partments were working in cohesion
and Systematically unearthing infor-
nation Of an amazing character and
Of great value to the government.
1t was pointed out that even with
the strictest censorship Of mails, ca
bles and press, the European allies
have not been able to meet the sitn-
alton to their complete satisfaction
The problem is of far greater magni-
ldhc Ill tHlS COuHliy, With CuOuSdnuS
OF aliens, it's immense border and
countless possible means of outside
| communication.
Secret service operations, necessa-
rily carried on under cover, are
given little or no publicity and this
fact, officials say, gives rise to a sur
mise that little has been accomplish
ed. 1t was pointed out to-day that
although the allies have never MAIN
tanned spy systems as far-reaching or
| effective as Germany, even that coun-
try, despite her registration Of indi-
| viduals, her comparatively small bor-
der line and her network of secret
police, has been unable to prevent in
formation Of her military moves
from reaching the outside world.
Germany's realization of that is
shown in her absolute suppression of
all mail and cable communication for
a considerable period preceding an
important military movement.

SUB. LOSSES LOWER AGAIN.
Britain Jubilant Over Reduction Of
Ships Sent Down.

London, July 4.-The weekly ship
ping summary issued to-day shows
that s British merchant ships of
more than 500 tons we're sunk and
five vessels Of less than that tonnage.
Eleven fishing vessels also we're lost.
The summary is as follows:
Arrivals, 2,745;, sailings, 2,846.
British merchant ships sunk by
mine or submarine, over 1000 tons,
IS; under 1000 tons, 5.

British Navy Jubilant.
Gen. Won IIindenburg's boasting
pronouncement that 1--WE win If we
hold our ground until the submarine
| war has done its work." has pleas
| ant sound to the British naval ear,
for the navy is now firmly convinced
that the submarine war has failed
A staff correspondent of the Asso-
| ciated Press was privileged to spend
two days last week in observing the
| anti-U-boat campaign at close quar-
| ters at big naval base on the south
east coast. There was plenty Of evil
dence Of the effectiveness Of the ad-
| miralty work In nearby waters, as
| well as of the tremendous effort be-
ing put forth.
The navy still maintains secrecy
| regarding the submarines sunk, but
the pursuit has become so lively that
U-boat shows its periscope in chan
mel waters only with the greatest
| risk. 1t is impossible to keep entire
ly secret such incidents as that Of an
oil-driven destroyer which a few
days ago swept into port with part
Of a rammed submarine hanging tri-
umphantly from her prov.
Airplane and dirigible patrols in
the channel are proving highly ef-
fective, and a U-boat, once sighted by
dirigible, has small chance of get
ting away.
Losses Smaller than III Weeks.
Forecasts that the summary of
British shipping losses by subma-
rines and mines covering last week
would show the smallest number of
| sinkings in many weeks were verified
! by the actual figures. The total Of
20 merchant ships sunk compares
with % the previous week and 32 for
| each OF the two weeks preceding.
The heavy falling off in tonnage sent
to the bottom is emphasized by the
| fact that. in contrast with the 10
vessels Of more than 1000 tons now
| reported sunk, the sinking of 21 YES
sells in this class was announced last
week, 27 the week previous and %
the. week before that.
1t is not until the report Of June 8
is reached that figures as low as
those for the current week are en-
countered. In the height Of the de-
| structive submarine campaign in
April, 40 large vessels were sunk in
| a week, 3S in another, while the to-
| tai Of large and small vessels reach
ed 55 in the week ended April 21.

The opportunity presented itself to
ice to witness the Inauguration of
Hugh NJ. Dorsey Governor Of Geor-
gia. The ceremony was very simple.
The oath was administered by Wm.
H. Fish, Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of Georgia, and consisted of
about 40 words:
'Do you, Hugh Manson Dorsey,
solemnly swear that you will faith
fully execute the office Of Governor
Of the State Of Georgia, and to the
best of your ability, preserve. pro-
tect and defend tho constitution and
the Constitution Of the United
States"
The seal of Georgia was handed to
Ex-Governor Harris, by the Secretary
OF State. then presented to Governor
Dorsey, with the following words:
"Governor Dorsey. in the name of
the State Of Georgia, present you
with this Great Seal Of Georgia. 1t
is the emblem OF truth; when it is
placed on a document it has the
power Of Georgia at its back"
The seal was then handed back to
the Secretary OF State.
Governor Dorsey is said to be the
youngest Governor Georgia has ever
had. He appears to be 35 or SO years
Of age, and is a fraction larger than
Oconee's popular County Auditor,
Dresden Smith. The new Chief Exec
utive read his inaugural address,
which he had prepared. 1t consisted
principally Of various changes in the
laws which he suggested and would
use his influence to have enacted.
The newspaper representatives
were making flash-light pictures Of
the new Governor and General AS
sembly. and when the fash lights
went off it looked like some of the
kaiser's friends might have come
over and dropped bomb in the Capt.

Governor Dorsey in his inaugural
address said he was conscious Of the
responsibilities that he assumes as
Governor, and emphasized the fact
that he was capable of performing
such duties. The inauguration was in
the House Of Representatives. which
was packed. Hundreds could not
get standing room. l happened to
get place where l could see and
hear, by getting there half hour be-
fore the time set for the ceremony.
