Madison, Wis, Nov. 27.-Dr. Charles
Mccarthy of Madison, vino rs one Of
the small group Of earnest men who
brought the National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits into ex-
istenee, is an authority on the stan
dardization of farm products.
A few years ago, while travelling
In Europe, he visited Denmark,
where he was particularly impressed
by the general prosperity evident on
every hand. Inquiring as 10 the
were receiving top-notch prices for
their produce. The reason for this
he found lay in the fact that the
farmers of Denmark standardized
their products, whether butter or
them up in standard packages carry
ing the brand of the state and sold
them under guarantee as to weight
and quality, and that this standard
ization had come to be recognized in
the markets of England and CONT
mental Europe as an absolute guar
anty. 1t was this, DR.. Mccarthy
found, that brought the top-notcn
prices which the farmers OF Dem
mark were receiving.
When Or. Mccarthy returned 10
America he began preaching stand
ardization to the farmers Of Wiscon-
sin. After inducing the farmers OF
several counties to follow the meth
DDS of Denmark and other European
countries, DR.. Mccarthy decided to
widen the scope OF his work SO as to
include the farmers of the entire
country. The National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits is the
result.

MISSISSIPPI MOB HANGS
PROMINENT YOUNG MAN.
Jack Hughes Taken From Jail and
Lynched.

Columbia, Miss, Oct. 31.-Jack
Hughes, 30 years of age, member of
prominent family of Washington
parish, Louisiana, adjoining this
county, was taken from the county
Jail here early today by party of
masked men and hanged to tree a
short distance outside the city limits.
Hughes was under arrest in connec-
ton with the murder of Larue Hol-
loway, we'll known young man of
this place, who was killed near here
on the night of October 81.
Otho Fortenberry, the jailer, who
occupied quarters on the second floor,
was awakened about 1 o'clock this
morning by three masked men, who,
after forcing him to give up the keys
to the cell occupied by Hughes, bound
him to his bed. The lynchers took
Hughes, leaving the building without
awakening two prisoners in adjoin-
ing cells. Fortenberry said the COR
ridor was crowded with masked men
and that through window he saw
seven automobiles parked in front of
the Jail.
The jailer who was found and re-
leased by boarder in Fortenberry's
household several hours later, gave
the alarm and posses began a search
for the prisoner and his abductors. A
short distance outside the city the
posse found Hughes body swinging
from a tree.
According to the authorities, per-
sons who witnessed the killing of
Holloway in a lumber camp near
here said Hughes shot the young man
in the back without provocation. Hol-
loway, at the time it was said, was
engaged in a fight with another per-
son while Hughes was an onlooker.
Hughes at first defied arrest, but c..
P. Jones, who witnessed the killing
took him in custody and delivered him
to deputy sheriff.
A coroner's jury which viewed the
body returned verdict that Hughes
had met his death at the hands of a
person or persons unknown. An
examination indicated that he had
strangled to death as his neck was
broken, physicians testified
For several days after killing of
Holloway the authorities fearing
trouble because of the excitement here,
guarded the Jail, but recently relaxed
their vigilance. District Attorney
Hall announced today that the grand
jury would be requested to investigate
the lynchng

DEATH OF Nj. w. CLIFTON.

Marion webster Clifton passed
away on Thursday, the 10th of Sep
tember, 1915, in the list year of his
age having been born on November
7th, 1874. Funeral services were con-
Quoted from the home in Piney Grove
township, Sampson County, N. c., on
the following day, by the Rev. B. F.
Loatch, in very impressive manner,
and the interment was in the family
burial ground nearby, the funeral be-
ing directed by Mr.. T. M. Ferrell, Jr.,
one of Clinton's undertakers.
The pallbearers were Messrs. H. w.
Darden, H. E. Faison, NJ F. Trouvle-
field, l.. M. Lewis, w. T. Hines and
H. J. Hines. The floral offerings were
rare and beautiful, the mound was lit
orally covered with them
An unusually large concourse of rel
atives and friends gathered to pay this
last tribute of respect to the memory
of this good man, whose physical
death will be a distinct loss to his
community and to all individuals with
whom he came in contact, for he was
one of the county's most useful and
upright citizens, and the last to go of
the brothers and sisters of one. of our
prominent families.
Within the acquaintance of this
writer, there was not man who en-
joyed the confidence and esteem of all
who knew him to a greater degree
than did Web Clifton, as he was famil-
iarly called. Thoroughly unselfish and
the very soul of honor. In manner
and disposition he was pleasant, easily
approachable, always the same candid
open-hearted and generous soul, ever
ready to help his fellowman. All this
everybody knew. Everyone knew, too,
that he was a man of splendid talent
and judgment, hence his good counsel
was often sought. His word was his
bond and all trusted him. No man did
more to reconcile men in their differ
ences, and to settle disputes than he
did. He was, indeed, a peacemaker
For greater part of the time since
the civil war he was justice of the
peace, and whenever he could prevail
on men to apply reason and good sense
this course was pursued, their differ
ences settled and friendship restored.
All this is written in eulogy of this
good life, not for any good that may
be done the deceased but in the hope
that others may emulate his example.
Many years ago Mr.. Clifton en-
braced the missionary Baptist faith,
and was ever loyal to his church, with
an mistaken faith which sustained hin,
in all of his trials and suffering, alb
solutely true in every department of
life in his home life, in his church re-
lations and as citizen. Surely such
an exemplary life as his furnishes
abundant consolation to the surviving
and devoted wife and children and al.
other bereaved ones, and also the as
surance that his departure from us is
only a transition from this earthly
tabernacle to that life which is eter-
nal, and to enjoy the blessings of /.
blissful immortality.
The deceased was a son of the late
Rev. John L. Clifton, of the Mission
ary Baptist church. His mother be-
fore marriage was Miss Annie King.
On Oct. 1st, 1867, he and Miss Mar
garet Jernigan, daughter of James and
Eliza Jernigan, were married, who, to-

Healthy old Age
Brings Happiness
Simple Remedy Promotes Health by
Overcoming Tendency to
Constipation.

Advancing years impair the action
of the vital organs. Old age should be
the period of greatest happiness, but
good health is necessary. Constipation
should not be tolerated-it is often the
direct cause of i'll health.
Headache, belching, biliousness,
bloat, drowsiness after eating and
other symptoms of constipation can
be readily relieved by the use of a
simple laxative compound sold in drug
stores under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. Mr.. J. H. Bristol,
1412 Geddes Ave-, Ann Arbor, Mich,
who is 83 years old, says, "Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is the best rem
edy ever used for constipation and
/ always have bottle of it in the
house to use when feel the need of
it; it never disappoints."
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is mild
laxative preparation, positive in it's
effect, acting easily and naturally
without gripping or other pain or dis
comfort. For over a quarter of a

TRUE TO VERY LIFE.
Col. McCabe Describes Statue of
Gen. Lee.

Col. w. Gordon McCabe in Richmond
Dispatch.
/ In response to our courteous re-
quest that l should express my opin-
ion as to the merits of Siever's eques-
trian statue of Lee, shall first state
briefly that his excellency, Gov. Stu
art, and myself (the only two Tiem-
bers of the Gettysburg commi Ssion'

morning 10 Mr.. Sievers' studio st For

other work of art impresSes me favor
ably and when it does not, and | only
venture with diffidence to set dOMn
my opinion in this case to the "rd
that my old comrades at a distance
ard Virginians of younger genera
tion may know how the work of the
sculptor has impressed one of Lc"'s
old soldiers.
Briefly, it is, to my mind land to
my heart as welD one OF the noblest
statues | have ever looked upon, and
| may add without impertinence that
| have seen the best and the most
famous, both in Europe and in this
country.
AS / gazed upon it long and search
ingly, the years seemed to roll away,
and l saw once more our great cap
tain, seated in easy majesty on "Trav-
eler," to the very life as we (now the
lingering few saw him more than
half century ago, watching the shift
ing hcances of the fray; well-known,
martial figure, instinct with vigor; the
graceful port and carriage, the fine
poise of the "good gray head" the
easy mastery of the thorough horse
man-the perfect embodiment of "a
peoples hope," the noble face stamp
ed by the "God of Battles" with the
rank that He alone can give.
Scarcely less in the fashioning of
the horse has the sculptor proved
his mastery of his cunning art"

of the great statue) an "heroic"

scious that he bears upon his back

know not how it may strike more
critical eyes, but I repeat that, to the
eyes of one of Lees veterans, 'tis
wondrous Counterfeit presentiment"
of the immortal rider and his match
less steed, whose appearance in the
long ago ("in the land where we were
dreaming") always evoked a storm
of hoarse cheering as the great cap
tain rode among the blackened guns
whose thunderous plaudits were ever
the welcome closet to his soldiers
heart.
The pecuniary emolument to the
sculptor in this case must of necessity
be small, but by this statue he has
won what money can never buy-a
great name for himself and the abid-
ing admiration of a grateful people.
