sirable to the community.

JOCASsEE INN TO BE OPENED.
w. vi. Brown Has Leased Property v
to Hotel Man from Ensley.

1t will be Of interest to the public
to know that Norman Gardo, of Eas-
ley, has leased the whitewater Inn"
for the present season. Mr.. Gardo
has had several years experience in
handling the travelling public. He
will move his family from Easley to-
day, and at once begin preparations
for the accommodation Of guests at
the inn.
The Whitewater Inn, owned by W.
NJ. Brown, Of Walhalla, and at one
time managed personally by him, is
in the northern part Of Oconee coun-
ty, twenty miles from Walhalla. An
hours drive by auto will reach the
inn, which Is situated on the beau
tiful Whitewater river, q short dis
tance from its confluence with the
TOXaway, forming the Keowee. These
streams abound with fish, and the
mountains adjacent are fine for ideal
mountain climbing. The bathing
also is fine, and this Is recognized as
an excellent hostelry and most de-
sirable resort for spending the hot
months Of summer for rest and recre-
alton.
The summer tourists to this section
Of the State will welcome the an
nouncemcnt Of the opening of the
Whitewater Inn, and we wish for Mr.

PIEDMONT HIGHWAY STEERING;
Committee Chosen - \ association is
Progressing with It's Work.

At a meeting Of the Piedmont
Highway ASSOcia ton, held at West
minister on May ed Il steering com
mittee was elected AT this meeting
the fact was brought out that $56,-
600 of Federal aid money was now
available.
The steering committee of the
Piedmont Highway Association met
at Seneca on May 2Sth and made
plans to get this money from the
government, and to use the money
this summer. 1t was decided to
draw up note, and the note to have
minimum Of sixty signers, and the
banks Of Oconee county to loan the
money to the county at once on this
note. This note is now being circu-
lated in the three towns OF the coun-
ty, and the signatures are being
secured.
1t was agreed by the steering COM
mittee that they were to use their
influence to have the money spent
not exceeding two-thirds on the
Piedmont Highway from the Pickens
county line to iugaloo river, run
ming through the towns of Seneca,
nichland, Westminster and Madison,
and the remaining one-third to be
spent on the proposed State High
way from Walhalla to Russell's. 1t
is thoroughly understood by the sign
ers Of the note that the money will
be spent where the United States
government engineer says for it to
be spent.
The steering committee realizes
fully that they have no power what.
ever. but that they can merely sug-
gest and use their influence to get
an equal distribution of the fund,
and they realize fully that the only
strings whatever that are being at
| tached to the proceeds of this note
are: That the money will be spent
somewhere in Oconee county. The
leaders Of the Piedmont Highway AS
| sociation, however, feel that def
mite step has been taken, and that
by this winter $4,000 will be spent
| in Oconee county, and that Oconee
| county will have at least thirty miles
| OF good road, and that this road will
be an object lesson to the balance Of
| the county. There is great deal Of
| enthusiasm in Oconee at the present
in good roads, and 1t begins to look
as though. within the next eighteen
months, the county will be covered
| by good roads, and that Oconee will
be able to have as good roads as its
neighboring counties, Pickens and
| Anderson.

AS Head OF tho Imurcns Schools.
For some time past it has been
rumored that II. w. Gasque, who has
for several years been superintend-
ent Of the Walhalla schools, would
not return to his position here. and
no little speculation was made as
to where he would locate and as to
whom his successor would be. The
former question was settled Sunday
through the publication of the fol-
lowing dispatch in the Columbia
State:
"Laurens, May 31.--Herbert w.
Gasque, head Of the schools at Wal
halla, has been elected superintend-
ent of thS, LauTehs City Schools for

garded as q successful school man.
He is a graduate Of the University
Of South Carolina, class Of 1907. He
Is a native Of Marion county. Mr..
Gasque will succeed J. II. Spears, who
did not ask reelection"
The trustees Of the Walhalla High

ton OF a superintendent to succeed

HERO MEMBERS
OF 1ST DIVISION
RETURN HOME
1000 Officers and Men, Vet
Grams of Bloody Victories,
Arrive in New York.

New York, Sept. 3.-Four thou
sand officers and men of the famous
First division of the regular army,
veterans of some of the bloodiest
victories which ever crowned Amer
lean arms, returned home Wednes-
day on the transports Amphion,
Suawanee and Mobile. The little
strips of vari-colored ribbons that
decorated the tunics of hundreds of
the returning soldiers bore silent
testimony to the deeds which have
made the division historic.
As far as Individual decorations
were concerned, the palm was borne
by the 18th infantry, every man of
which wore the fourragere of the
legion of honor conferred by the
French government just before the
unit boarded the Mobile at Brest.
But the 18th had little to boast over
their comrades, noticeably the Sec
ond machine gun battalion, 40 per
cent of whom had been decorated,
This battalion suffered 20 per cent
casualties.
= On the Mobile was Brig. Gen.
Frank Barker, commander of the
First infantry brigade. General
Barker, whose home is in Charles
ton, S. C.. went to Paris in 1914, as
military attache and was in tempo
rary command of the first division
v October. 1918. until relieved by
Major General McGlachin.

ARMY WILL HAVE
LARGE GROCERY
IN AUDITORIUM
Store, With Big Stock, to
Be Opened on or
About Septem-
Der rs.

Since the city council has decided
to turn over the basement of the
Auditorium to army authorities for
the establishment of large supply
store, Col. G. S. Bingham of the
Omaha zone surplus supply Office,
announced that the store will be
opened on or about September Is.
and will contain a large stock of
almost every kind of merchandise.
As a result of this decision, the
mayor may be relieved of his re-
sponsibility as grocery salesman, al
though Colonel Bingham said yes
terday that. if Mayor Smith desired
to, he could continue to handle
army foodstuffs.
Mayor May Manage Grocery.
1--WE may arrange it so Mayor
Smith can manage the grocery de-
partment of the store, and let me
manage the dry goods section" said
Colonel Bingham. 1T was planned,
however, at a recent meeting of all
zone surplus supply officesr at
Washington, d. c., that the distribu-
ton and sale of all army supplies
should be in charge of ARMY Off
GERS"
Colonel Bingham announced that
he had large quantities of ere
claimed" army shoes which would
be on sale when the store opens, as
we'll as other merchandise. No
price has been fixed on the shoes
yet, but it is understood they will
be much cheaper than the prevail
ing market price for the same grade
Of shoes. n.
A reduction in the price of canned
tomatoes and soups from 8 to- 6
cents a can, was announced by Col
onel Bingham yesterday. There is
no supply of either tomatoes or
soup here now.
The zone surplus supply office at
the army building announced yes
terday, however, that large consign-
ments of soups, tomatoes, and other
foodstuffs were on the way to
Omaha.

Sugar Shortage Is Acute
Despite Arrival Of Whole
Carload, Say Wholesalers
l 1000 One Hundred-Pound Sacks Only Drop in Bucket
Explains One of Big Dealers-Little Hope of Re-
lief-Some Stores Haven't Pound-Others Sell
Only in 25-Cent Packages.

Despite the fact a carload OF
sugar, 700 or 800 l00-pound sacks
was received a few days ago by
Paxton Gallagher company. the
sugar shortage in Omaha is still de-
elared by the larger wholesale deal
ers to be acute.
The Paxton & Gallagher sugar
was unloaded at the Gordon Van
and Storage company.
However, E. A. Doran, sugar
buyer for Paxton & Gallagher,
stated that his firm was out OF
sugar, late Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Dosan added that the short
age was due to a combination OF
circumstances, principally being due
to the increased demand. The Pax
ton and Gallagher Co. sold twice as
much sugar in July of this year as
they did in the corresponding month
last year, according to Mr. Doran.
Twelve central states have been
allotted only $4,000 bags for the
months of September and October,
and of this amount Omaha will only
receive 1000 bags" Mr. Doran said,
hence there is little sign of imme-
date relief for this city.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-04

"1n present conditions, 1000 bags
would last Omaha about one day.
During the month of July the Pax
ton and Gallagher Co, often sold
$4,000 bags alone. Besides the city
trade, the country trade is depending
on Omaha jobbing houses for its
supply of sugar"
Frank J. Hughes, Vice president
and general manager of the ]. H.
Hughes Grocery Co., stated that the
demand for sugar during the months
Of June and July was double the de-
mand for the same months a year
ago. Sugar which the Hughes Co.
had bought last May for August and
September orders was sold during
these two months. Mr.. Hughes said.
Mr.. Hughes said he expected six
cars of plantation sugar, of the low
grade, yellow type. to arrive for the
Hughes company within the next
10 days. The establishment of
many new candy factories, the crav-
ing of every one for sweet things
as reaction when the sugar ban
was lifted, the marine strike on the

and Porto Rico, and a worldwide
shortage of approximately 2,0OO,00O
tons of sugar are reasons for the
present shortage, according to Mr..
Hughes.
NJ. w. Cavanaugh. sugar buyer
for the Courtney Retail Grocery
company, said yesterday that there
wasn't a pound of sugar in the
store.
Manager King of the Hayden
Brothers grocery department. is
selling each customer Is cents worth
of sugar at the present time. His
supply is small, he says, and will
not last long.
Not one out Of Is grocers in the
city have sugar for sale now" said
Mr.. King.
The executive committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce sent
a telegram to Senator Hitchcock
Yesterday asking that he use his in
fluence in obtaining more sugar for
Omaha.
This request was decided on at
meeting OF the committee yeSter-
day, at which time the sugar situa-
ton here was generally discussed.
The telegram follows:
The state is practically bare of
sugar, and unless relief is afforded
by the equalization board it is i'm
possible for the consumer to care
for the fruit now on tile market
This will result in severe losses to
grocers, shippers and dealers. Many
cars of fruit are arriving but buyers
will not purchase it. Shipments of
sugar from the west which are going
to Chicago should be d.
verted to Omaha, or eastern refper-
les should make shipments here"
The sugar shortage during the
canning season is one of the most
serious situations ever experienced
by Omaha, according to Assistant
Commissioner Ellis.
