FREE SUGAR AND
WOOL FIRST IN
TARIFF BILL
Senate Caucus Ratiies Wilson's
PoIicy-FoodstuH 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-
ule. 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
iff 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; Newlands, 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; RansdeI and Thorn
ton, Louisiana; ShafToth and Walsh.
No attempt was made to bind
members to the action of the caucus.
The question will come up when the
entire bill 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 chaingang 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 fame has blazed
into almost a mania.
Only Nature Softens Him,
Only the sight Of some pet or cap
tuTed 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.

MAYOR SCORES
HIS ACCUSERS

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 deniaIs Of
the charge that he opposes the crema-
tory because it embraces in its plans

avowals Of any connection with the
power company have failed to prevent
anonymous charges Of Interior mo-
tives against him, the Mayor said.

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, 10 ad-
yertise his own body for sale to the
highest bidder.
Self-swon never again to have
anything to do with his relatives. he
is now in mortal fear that his body
efter death win be turned over to
them for burial. McCuuough'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 in
life between himself and his family.
Therefore, by disposal of his body to
some medical school for experiments
ehe hopes to eliminate this possibility.
"cut Up While Alive"
Why shouldn't they buy me7" 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 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. l 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 negro in Spalding County. The
deed was the outcome of a quarrel
between the two in a gambling game.
Caught After Three Months.
Mccullough was sent to the Nor
gan County convict camp, but es-
capped three months later Eluding
the officers through briar patches and
woods the fugitive finally made his
way back to his home in Spalding
