industry, by an almost uncanny power
over his fcllowmen, he had fought his
way upward. until he was president OF
| tho great mills which he had entered
IL quarter-century earlier, as IL day
laborer.
But he was manufacturer, not a
flnancier. His directors presently
formed a clique to Dust him from
power and to put one Of their own
henchmen in his place.
The clique's chance came when they
lured Clark into a may financial deal
whose nature they misrepresented to
him. AS result. when tho president
one day entered tho board room for a
conference. he found the directors al
ready awaiting him. Ono Of them
opened the attack by saying curtly:
You have failed to redeem the stock

the mills has therefore passed to us.

Turning on his heel he strobe out

in his resignation within thirty

Before his secretary and stenoE-

the stricken man. he slipped Imply
from the chair to the floor. and lay
there, very still. In curiously huddled
and inert mass.
The blow that had wrecked his
future had also taken his life. The
shock had been too much for an al
ready feeble heart action.
Thus did John Clark fight lifelong
battle. Thus did he lose battle and life
in ono stroke. And 1t behooved his

for the Sheriff to be allowed mileage
at the rate of ten cents per mile both
ways for conveying parties to these
institutions, and the claims have al
ways been allowed. AT the close Of
the February term of court, Sher fl
Logan and several deputies took
prisoners to the different State insti-
tutions and his mileage claim was
forwarded to Auditor Greene. When
his check was received, mileage for
only one way was allowed, which
was claimed to be all the State was
supposed to pay.
Sheriff Logan consulted local attor-
neys and was advised that the Audi
tor was in error, that the mileage
should be paid both ways. He started
to file suit, but referred the matter to
the Sheriff S Association of the State,
and he stated here that the suit
would be fled by the association at
once, in order that the matter might
be fully tested in the courts.
A similar case came up with the
Sheriff of Henderson countyrecently,
it is understood.
