LONG ILLNESS;
FUNERAL AT
3P. N. TOMORROW

After an illness extending over
many months. death came peaceful
ly at 1000 O'Clock this morning, and
relieved Mr.. Claude d. Clough of
the sufferings he had SO long and
patiently endured He passed away
on his 18th birthday.
Mr.. Clough was, in point of resi-
dence, one of the oldest citizens of
Lakeland, having come here over
thirty years ago, when the town was
in it's infancy. For many years he
was connected with the newspaper
profession in Lakeland, having set
type for the Lakeland News, the first
newspaper published in this city.
Afterwards he became editor of the
Lakeland Sun. in the publication Of
which he was associated with Park
Trammell, the present Governor Of
Florida. He was also engaged for
quite while in the mercantile bust
ness He held various municipal Of
fees and positions of trust in con-
nection with the city administration.

Clough was man whose example
and influence were always on the
side of right and morality. A man Of
deep religious convictions, he carried
his religion into his everyday life,
and it manifested itself in kindness
and gentleness in his home, in fair,
ness and good will to his neighbor,
and in upright and honorable con-
duct in his business career. The
writer knew Mr.. Clough best in the
relation of a competitor in business
"a relation which places more Sc
we're strain upon the bonds of friend
ship perhaps than any other; and we
can truthfully say that we never
man in this relation than Mr..
Clough. Indeed, We have never heard
any man question his integrity or
bring aught against him inconsis-
tent with the qualities of true,
honorable Christian gentleman.
Mr.. Coughs health began to de-
cline about two years ago, and for
nearly a year and half he has been
confined to his home practically all
the time. For weeks he has been too
feeble to rise from his bed, gradual
ly growing weaker until the peace
full end today. Through this long pc
riod OF suffering he was always
cheerful and accomplishing, an ex-
ample of Christian fortitudc and
amiability of character.
! Deceased leaves a wife and two
! daughters. besides his mother, a
brother, Mr. Walter Clough, and one
sister, Miss Mollie Clough. These
bereaved relatives have the deepest
sympathy of a host of friends in
their great loss.
The funeral services will take
place at the home at 3 O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon, Rev. j. Edgar

A view of the verdant fields plated
to watermelons, of Mr.. ]. f. Swan
son, Is most gratifying to lovers of
that luscious fruit. He has % acres
near town, of which he is justly

a splendid crop OF young melons in
healthy growth, which, Mr.. Swan,
son says will be ready for market
about the 18th or 2Cth OF next

In view OF the fact that export figures
for the first day OF June, for instance.
represent shipments made in the early
part OF May. IL is manifest that the
monthly reports issued from Wash
ington arc just as misleading; that is,
June figures will represent shipments
made during tho previous month.
The ideal condition would be where
the Custom House issued at the close
Of business each day tho total value
Of exports for the day. This is pat
entity impossible. The next best con
dition would be where the Custom
House furnished daily figures for OK
ports Of the day previous, or two day
previous, etc. i. is generally recosA
nized that the compilers OF export

ing. II need be, let the Custom
House be fifteen or twenty days late,
but when il puts out report for the
first day or the first week Of June, or
for the whole month of June, the fig
ures should honestly and accurately
represent actual shipments made dur
ing the day. week or month.
The Custom House is behind-and
must be behind-in its statistical
work, so why deceive the public or
itself By making it appear that it is
right up to the minute. Why gauge
the exports by the capacity Of clerks
10 turn out statistics; and, finally, why
pursue a system which permits OF ar

of a particular day, week or month";
svstem which innocently affords op-
nortunities for the Administration to
manufacture record figures at will.
