LONDON, June 6-Announcem
that King George, Queen Mary and
President Poincare of France would
attend the International Horse Show
at Olympia to-day brought out the
biggest crowd since the show began.
Among the spectators We're many
Americans and other foreign tourists.
The royal box was decorated with
intertwined British and French col
ors. Much comment was aroused BY
Queen Mary's edict that women in
the show should not ride astride while
she is present. The Queen, the fore
most champion of feminine modesty
since Queen Victoria, recently issued
the same order to her daughter Prin-
cess Mary.
Miss Ruth Boyd, of New York, who
has number of horses entered in
the show, threatened to withdraw be-
cause of the queens edict, saying she
could not use a side saddle, having
been used to riding astride all her
life.

MAYOR SCORES
. HIS ACCU5ERS
AS LIARS
AbandOns "PoIite Words" in De-
nying Charge That He Opposes
CrematOry to Aid Power Co.

Mayor James G. Woodward Thurs
day branded as infamous liars all
persons who persist in attributing his
opposition to the, crematory contract
to a desire to help the Georgia Rail-
way and Power Company.
Polite and parliamentary denials Of
the charge that he opposes the crema-
tory because it embraces in its plans
an electrical plant and repeated dis
avowals Of any connection with the
power company have failed to prevent
anonymous charges of Interior mo-
tives against him. the Mayor said.
IF they won't take polite language,
I'll have TO hand it to them more for
chilly" said the Mayor And he did
81 have said time and again that the
electrical plant had nothing TO do with
my position regarding the crematory,"
the Mayor continued Il have nothing
either for or against the electric plant
The power company has fought me-
and have said time and again that /
am not :rying TO help them / don't
owe them anything except q fair deal
The situation is this: I want
contract Independent of the one the
courts enjoined, and I want a water
proof bond to protect the city / take
1t that the papers before me now have
possible loopholes in them. When the
courts enjoined the first contract the
General Council asked the Destructor
Company for a proposition The prop
osition was made and the General
Council accepted il. This proposition
continually regards the contract Of
1912, which the courts eniolned.
don't see why they can't write out a
contract complete in itself. If a con-
tract like this is presented to me l
will sign it.
"Since I have said repeatedly that
this was what l insisted on I see no
grounds for repeating the charges tina,
/ am acting in the interest of the
power company. Those who do repeat
them are liars, and / have no objec-
ton to your printing that"
On account of Alderman ]. H. Har-
wells motion to reconsider the Gre
matory proposition viii not be Off

Until that time, the Mayor said. it
would be advisable to indulge in less

The breach between Mayor Wood

Mayor in his attitude on this matter

would sign the contract. and the next
time he refused. / don't know what
else can be done to please him.

FREE SUGAR AND
WOOL FIRST IN
TARIFF BILL
Senate Caucus Ratiies Wilson's
POIiCy-Foodstuf Clause
Effective in 1916.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Free
sugar in 1916 and free raw wool have
been approved by the Democratic
caucus of the Senate. after a two
days fight, and are established in
the new tariff bill. The sugar sched-
lfle. practically as it passed the
House, was approved by a vote Of 40
to 6. Free raw wool swept the SEN
ate caucus by a vote Of Al to 6.
This ratification Of President Will
sons tariff policy came after a long
series OF developments since the tar
if bill passed the House in which the
President had an active participation.
When the fight was getting hot the
President declared any suggestion Of
compromise on the wool and sugar
schedule ideas was absolutely out of
the question.
Then he stirred administration
leaders to action when he made his
"insidious lobby" charge. which has
brought results regarded as favorable
to the tariff bill.
The six Democratic Senators who
voted against free sugar on the final
vote approving the schedule were
Hitchcock Nebraska: Newlauds, Ne
vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louis
lana; Shafroth, Colorado; Walsh,
Montana.
The six who opposed free raw wool
were Chamberlain of oregon, New
lands, Nevada; Ransdell and Thorn
ton. Louisiana; Shafroth and Walsh.
No attempt was made to bind
members TO the action Of the caucus.
The question will come up when the
entire bin has been passed upon.

for two months. Then he was dis
covered by the officers and sent to
the State farm at Milledgeville. His
last words to his family as he was
taken from his home were curses on
them for having turned him up" or
betrayed him to the law. Whether
they did or not was never proven.
From the Milledgeville institution
Mccullough was sent to join the
Monroe County changing. He has
now served Is months of his 1S-year
term.
Mccullough is an extremist in all
things. Physically he is a powerful
man. mentally he is without moral
sense, and while he is the most des-
perate character in the camp and the
only man prisoner over whom a
guard keeps watch day and night,
still he is the best worker of them all.
In the camp Mccullough remains
aloof from his fellow prisoners. He
suffers from melancholia a great deal
and has nursed his hatred against
his family until the flame has blazed
into almost a mania.
Only Nature Softens Him.
Only the sight of some pet or cap
tured animal about the camp
quiets him. Then his nature changes
instantly, and from the cursing half
maniac the powerful man becomes a
child, and his hatred is drowned in
his love for the things of nature.
Only recently did the convict learn
Of his malady, that he was afflicted
with heart disease. When informed
of this he was struck with terror, not
of death, but the probable disposal OF
his body. He had visions of his still
form surrounded by his family-the
ones he hated. Then it was that he
wrote out the advertisement and sent
it to The Georgian for publication
Here it is.

HATRED Of OWN FAMILY
LEADS DOOMED CONVICT
To AUCTION OFF HIS BODY

FORSYTH, GA, June 2s.-Hatred
Of his own family has prompted
Thomas a. Mccullough, a convict in
the Monroe County changing, TO ad-
vertise his own body for sale to the
highest bidder
Self-sworn never again to have
anything to do with his relatives. he
Is now in mortal fear that his body
after death win be turned over to
them for burial McCunough's fear
has been increased by the physicians
statement that he is suffering from
heart disease and has not long to live
The money which his body would
bring is a secondary matter to the
convict His one real desire is that
death shall not seal the breach which
he, has cherished and broadened ii
life between himself and his family
Therefore, by disposal of his body to
some medical school for experiments
Ahe hopes to eliminate this possibility
p "cut Up While Alive"
why shouldn't they buy me?" Nc
CulloUgh exclaimed as he leaned his
great hairy body against his pick and
looked down at his interviewer. I've
been cut up while alive and I wouldn't
care if they cut me up after I am
dead.
If I've got a thing to do with it.
not single member Of my family will
get my body when I die. I don't want
them to have a thing to do with me.
I'd rather be left out for the buzzards
than be turned over to them"
McCullough's strange hatred is
founded upon his belief that his fam
lily turned him up when he was in
hiding from the officers of the law
following his escape from the camp
some months ago.
He had been sentenced to eighteen
years penal servitude for the murder
OF a negro in Spalding County. The
deed was the outcome of a quarrel
between the two in a gambling game.
Caught Af.er Three Months.
Mccullough was sent to the Nor
gan County convict camp. but es-
capped three months later. Eluding
the officers through briar patches ana
woods, the fugitive finally made his
way back TO his home in Spalding
County He remained there in hiding

talked over beet sugar and the tariff
and denied that he was interested in

asking for tariff on wool and beef;
that sugar was his one and only plea.
The Elko Free Press states that he
is now in Elko where a petition has
been circulated and signed by many
Republicans and Jew Democrats
asking that the Nevada Senators
vote for a tariff on sugar, wool and
meats.

Blackwell farm is being electrified
and within few days the farm will

the best supply of water in this valley
has been developed at the farm. The
original spring at the west end OF
the farm has been dug and blasted
out, while a reservoir has been exca-
waited 1t was found impossible to
handle the water with a two-inch

this did not handle the flow. In all
there has been enough water devel-
oped on this property to irrigate all
