Senator TiIlman Desperately Ill,

When the papers arrived Mon
day morning carrying the announce,
meut of the very serious illness of
Senator B. R.. Tillman genuine
sorrow prevailed in Edgefeld. He
is suffering from a recurrent cere-
bral hemorrhage and his left side Is
totally paralyzed. While his heart
continues strong, We. there are evil
dences of his steadily growing
weaker. No hope is entertained
COR his recovery and all of his faml-
w have been summoned to his bed
side. About 10 years ago Senator
Tillman had a similar attack which
temporarily paralyzed his right
side. While he never fully regain
ed his accustomed strength, yet he
has been able to discharge his du-
ties as senator. This being the
second attack, and his age, II
years, being against him, the at
tending physicians hold out no hope
that he will rally. His desperate
condition, precipitated at a time
when his activities are so much
needed, is a great shock and tre-
mendous loss to the entire country.
Later: Early this morning a tele-
gram was received in Edgefeld an
nouncing the death of Senator Till
man which occurred this morning
at 1920 o'clock. The funeral will
be held at Trenton tomorrow al
ternoon, July 4, at four o'clock.

A Patriotic People.

The officers higher up, the local
managers and the operatives of the
Addison Mi have proven themselves
to be very patriotic. Recently they
went cover the top" in their contri-
buttons to the Red Cross work and
last week in response to the War
Savings Stamp drive they gave about
s2,25O. The mill subscribed and paid
cash for $1,000 and the local mana

John Theodore Mari.

Our community was shocked and
saddened last week when the news
spread of the death of John Theodore
Mari, which occurred at Harvey, H.,
last Thursday. October 10, 1918. He
was born in this city October 25, 1897,
and was within few days of his
twenty first birthday when he passed
to the other life.
Theodore attended our public schools
and remained student until the end
of the second year in high school.
About two years ago he went to the
city of Chicago to work with large
electrical concern and was employed
there for some time as inspector.
Later he went to Harvey, Ill, to work
and was held in the highest esteem for
his faithfulness.
About three weeks ago Theodore Wis
tied his parents and brothers in this
city At that time he was suffering
with severe cold, which did not yield
very readily to ordinary treatment.
However he returned to Harvey and
resumed his work even if he had not
fully recovered. Pneumonia later de-
yeloped in most malignant type. In
spite of the presence of skillful physi-
clan and nurse, it gained mastery over
him.
The remains were brought to this
city Friday evening and the funeral
was held on Saturday afternoon, with
services conducted by the Rev. w. j.
G.. Bond, Interment was made in
the Graceland cemetery.
Deceased leaves to mourn his depar-
