' WAR COMMISSION
GIVEN HIGH HONORS
Balfour and Party Received by
Chief Officials in the American
Capital.
Washington, April 23?Great Britain's
war commissioners snent today
in the American capital receiving
every mark of.honor and courtesy
within the gift of the government.
Foreign Secretary Arthur James
Balfoor, formally presented by Secretary
Lansing: to President Wilson
in the moping, was the guest of
honor tonight at the most notable
dinner at tne White House in a generation.
During the day he was presented
to Vice President Marshall at
the capitol, lunched with Ambassador
Jusserand at the French embassy
and received cards or calls from
many prominent persons, including
Former Secretary Bryan.
Meanwhile Lieut. Gen. Bridges
and other British army officers called
on Secretary Baker, Maj. Gen. Scott
chief of staff, and war department
officials: Admiral de Chair and his
naval aides called on Secretary Daniels,
Admiral Benson and other navy
department officials, and Lord Cunliffe,
governor of the Bank of England,
called on Secretary McAdoo at
the treasury department
The conferences so far, with the
I enthusiasm that the people of the
capital have shown and the courtesies
and cordialities extended by the
officials, have taken the British commission
completely by surprise. Mr.
Balfour, after three-quarters of an
hour's conversation with President
Wilson, remarked enthusiastically
that his trip had been justified by
that meeting alone.
Touch Broad Piuiei.
While no formal ne&oiations were
entered into today, President Wilson
and Mr. Balfour are known to have
touched on the broad phases of the
situation in such a way as to give
eac\ an insight into the other's personality
and viewpoint and. to have
established an atmosphere of confidence
and concord.
The official prediction was made
that no formal conferences would be
begun until the arrival of the French
commissioners, expected now in the
next few days.
Mr. Balfour plans to spend tomorrow
mornine mannincr out the divis
ion of work and arranging for the
proper British and American officials
to meet for the task before them.
Another score of subordinate British
officials are expected shortly on a
merchant vessel.
The British commission announced
that its purpose in coming to this
country was purely one of cooperation
and the decision of the conferences
would rest largely with the
American government. At the same
time American officials convinced the
British that this country is fully dedicated
to every possible effort
against the common foe.
Mr. Balfour, it also was stated,
will make several public statements
during his stay as to the English
point of view and will attempt to remove
any misconceptions he may
find existing.
Vice President Marshall invited
him to .address the senate but it is
improbable he will appear before
congress unless perhaps with M.
Viviani, French Minister of justice.
Arrangements are being made for
him to see members of the press
Wednesday. Gen. Bridges will be

HOLLEMAN FREED
BY FULL PARDOfi
Absent Eight Year* Returned Volun
tarily to Take His Punishment ,
Some Months Ago.
Columbia, April 20.?J. Townei
Holleman of Anderson was granted t
full pardon, yesterday by Gov. Man
ning for the purpose of restoring his
citizenship. Holleman was serving i
sentence of two years in the Stat<
penitentiary, imposed by Judg<
Hayne F. Rice, February 9, 1917, to
lowing Holleman's plea of guilty iz
the court of general sessions oJ
Anderson county to the charge o:
breach of trust with fraudulent in
tent.

x uu uuu ueiuiAW u> nay uiut i ail
sure Mr. Holleman had proved him
self a useful and excellent citizen un
til the time of hit unfortunate
breach, and that if pardoned he wil
again prove himself to be a useful
and excellent citizen. I do hot wist
to be understood as recommending
pardon, but in no sense do I oppose
Kurtz P. Smith, solicitor of the
Tenth circuit, who was preesnt at the
time of Holleman's pies of guilty
has said that he "heartily. concurs it
the petition for his pardon."
More than 5,000 citizens of An
derson and Pickens cuonties anc
some from adjoining counties, signec
the petitions urging the governor tc
grant a full pardon.
About eight years ago Hollemar
used the funds of the Bank of Anderson,
of which he was cashier, foi
speculative purposes, intending, according
to his statement, to replace
the money. The amount grew toe
large and he fled, explaining the mat
ter by letter to the president of the
bank. While he was a fugitive, he
replaced part of the funds. During
his exile, says Holleman in his signed
.statement to the governor, "my conscience
scourged me like the lash oi
scorpions and I knew no peace, waking
or sleeping. A last I found 1
could have no rest tOl I came bacli
and publicly confessed my sin, and
so voluntarily I came home and publicly
entered plea of guilty to the
charge of breach of trust"

s SOME INTERESTING '
AND VERY OLD PAPERS ,
! 1
Mr. John D. Cade was in the city j
[ Saturday and showed us some inter- '
eating old papers. In the settlement
of their father's estate the Cade's 1
j have found papers of much histonI
cal interest ana value.
, Of especial interest, particularly
to the people of Elbert, Wilkes ana
, Lincolnton counties, Georgia, is the
old muster roll of the Delli-Rangers,
! of which company Drury B. Cade
. Was captain. This company was ac,
cepted into the service of the ConJ
federate states for the duration of
the war, on August 1st, 1861, and
J was stationed at "Camp Walker near
s Manassas," and they formed a part
, of the 16th Regiment of Georgia
[ volunteers They were equipped with
71 Springfield muskets, 71 knapr
sacks, 71 haversacks, 71 canteens, ,
; 13 tents, 2 axes, 2 spades and cookr
ing utensils complete.
The oldest men in the company ,
{ were Isaac A. McLendon, 2nd Lieutenant,
and private James H. Willis,
[ both of whom -were forty-two years,
while the youngfest man was L. W.
D. Quinn, a planter, who was sixteen.
Capt Cade was twenty-three.
Most of the men averaged five feet
eight and nine inches, though there
5 were three men in the company who
r ran up to six feet two. The ma5
jority gave their occupation as
planters, th6ugh there was one teach!
er, one printer and two tailors. The
r flag of th6 Delli Rangers was a beau
tiful blue silk affair with a white
star in the center with thirty three
! stars circling it and the name of
r the company on a red scroll below.
1 The Rangers must have presented
! a fine appearance on march with so
handsome a flag floating over them.
Another interesting paper found
ia o /^t>otrnn*? /\^ fli a if amao
ao a uianiug vi uuc maomc vx iuoiiao~ sas.
It is most instructive and to a
i person who has heard the story told
[ by an old soldier, the turnpike to
. Centerville, the stone bridge, the
; position of the sharpshooters to
j check up Sherman's advance, the
, house where the old woman was
t killed by the cannon ball, all have a
familiar sound.
The papers should be framed anji ]
preserved. They give a valuable'bit ]
. of the history of the South.
a iana grant irom wm. jjowers
to Drury Cade bears the date Aug.
' 30th, 1785, and gives the informa:
tion that it is just after the battle
1 of Kettle Creek.

Washington, April 21.?The gov- "v l

during the war was put before 4
eongres today by Secretary Houstoi 'i
in a communication v to the senate
asking power for the department |
agriculture to take direct supervision

in the United States and requesting '
a $25,000,000 appropriation for put? <1

Authority was asked for thecoun- A

?ency to buy and sell foodstuffs arid
to fix maximum or minimum priced v
As outlined to the senate the go*-" 't
ernment's plan is, first to make ? <
complete survey of the country**
food supply to determine its ownership
and distribution. Then, if necessary,
to license and control the '. . i;
operations of all concerns engaged ^
in the manufacture of food or feed, ' <
agricultural implements and all ma- ')
terials required for agricultural pur- ?
poses. Anthority is sought for tlM
igricultural department to take over . 3
find operate theconcerns if it ap> :j
pears that course is demanded by toe i
public interest.
Giving the government power to
ieal directlyy in foodstuffs probably 1
would make its application unneceslary,
Secretary Houston declared,
is its very existence would tend to
ceep conditions normal. He propos>d
that the government should lucre
full discretion, saying it might be
vise, if an emergency arose, to. fix " r

Market grades and classes for u

Enlargement of the market news

as a means of insurinf
