$2,5OO,OOO ESTATE
HELD UP SO YEARS
PIOUED AT JILTING, LEFT A
FORTUNE TO SWEETHEART'S
CHILDREN so YEARS AGO.

A fortune Of $2,50OO0O, which has
been held from the heirs for half a
century, may soon be claimed as a
result of the death OF Constantine
Lynch, a picturesque character in
Maryland political affairs. The money
lis lying in a New Orleans bank Miss
Margaret McDonough, his sister, said
recently, according to the New York
World
The money, says Miss Lynch, was
bequeathed to her stepmother, Mrs.
Andrew A. Lynch, by John McDon-
ough, one OF Maryland's first million
aires. The facts of her story are as
follows:
Mrs. Lynch's father was DIR. Albert
A. Lynch, of Cantonsville At her
birth her mother died, and her father
became enamored of Rosalda Ludden,
daughter OF Lemuel Ludden, her
mothers dearest friend.
A rival appeared for DR.. Lynch,
however, in the person OF Melon
ough. who also was deeply in love
with Miss Ludden. But Lemuel Lud-
den forbade McDonough to commu-
nicate with the girl.
When Rosalda Ludden ultimately
married DR.. Ludden and became Mar
garet Lynch's stepmother McDon-
ough bequeathed to his lost sweet
heart his fortune OF S2,5OO0OO-with
the proviso, however, that it should
be withheld from her or her heirs for
ninety-nine years.
To the union of Miss Ludden and
Miss Lynchs father was born SON
the Constantin Lynch who died today.
During Constantine lifetime he
married and fathered six children, but
never came forward to claim the for
tune. nor the accumulated interest.
But she will encounter difficulty in
securing it, since others interested in
the fortune point out that the ninety
nine years have not elapsed, and that
Miss Lynch is not an heir, since she
was not the child OF Rosalda Ludden.

section seven of the Clayton act. 1t
was issued following several hearings,
one of which took place in Moultrie.
Witness after witness examined here
declared that the purchase of the
Moultrie plant by Swift and Company,
instead OF lessening competition in the
purchase of hogs, actually increased
it, one of the first things following
being the establishment OF a public
stock yards.
The builders of the plant testified
that they sought to sell to one of the
big packers in order that capital
might be found that was sufficient to
develop the industry. Farmer after
farmer told the Federal Trade Com
mission that they were glad for Swift
and Company to come into this terri
tory. They welcomed the invasion OF
concern with sufficient capital to en-
large the plant and buy their hogs
without limit, the stock men declared
at the hearing here.
Swift and Company bought out the
old Moultrie Packing Company in
1917. and since that time have spent
more than million dollars on en-
largement. Should the trade commits
sion's order eventually be put into eff
feet it would mean the closing of the
plant. There would be no one to sell
it to and not enough local capital
could be raised to operate it,

Potatoes in Disgrace
In the Colonial Days
Thought by Some to Be Poison That
Would Kill in Seven Years.

The first potatoes in this country
were brought from Bermuda in 1886.
and were sold in Boston at 3D. a
pound. In 1888 Winthrop said of them:
They are little cultivated and people
look upon them with suspicion"
Tradition says that they were first
planted in Londonderry, N. H. There
is mention OF a Harvard commence
ment in 1908 where potatoes were
served but from all reports they made
few friends in this new country, and
there were many damaging reports
about them which most people believ-
ed true, says the Kansas City Star
1t was asserted that if man ate of
them freely he could survive only
seven years Just why seven years and
not five or ten the record does not
say. AS no mention is made of them
in the Bible, it was asserted they were
a forbidden fruit and unfit for human
beings. This prejudice against the po-
tato was so pronounced that when
Parson Jonathan Hubbard, of Shef-
field, raised 20 bushels it was advised
he be dealt with by the church for his
wicked hardwood.
They were often asserted to be a
deadly poison but upon hunting up
an old recipe for preparing and cook
ing potatoes we cannot much Won
der. The directions run: First boil
and blanch your potato. Season with
nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. Then
mix with eringo roots, dates, lemon
and whole mace. Now cover with but
ter and grape juice. Next ice with
rose water and sugar and make into
a pYe."

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR


Mentho- Sulphur, pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch

MOULTRIE, Ga.-Although the

handed down by the United States
circuit court OF appeals in Chicago
sustaining the Federal Trade Com
missions order requiring the packers
to divorce themselves from their hold

it is known that the case will be ap-

In the meantime the plant here will

The chambers of commerce OF
Moultrie and Andalusia interviewed in
the Chicago proceedings and protested
against the unfolding of the trade

such action would close the biggest

THE AVERAGE MAN

TWAS young boy when l first met
u Sawyer and he a man of middle
age. He had not attained to any posi-
ton of distinction at that time, nor
did he ever reach such a position, but
he was respected by everyone, he was
just an average man.
We were living some distance apart
when / first knew him, but after l
had myself gotten through college and
settled down to work, he moved into
the community in which l lived, and
looking out of my office window
could see him going and coming every
day, for his hours were not the same
as mine.
He never made great stir in the
community, and yet there were very
few important activities of which he
was not part, very few unfortunates
whom he did not help.
He was never elected to office as /
recall, but he had political opinions,
and he could express them forcefully.
He was energetic in civic affairs. he
was always on the side of the better
candidates, and he never failed to get
out and vote at election time.
He had a comfortable, cheerful,
happy home, with his children about
him, and he took the greatest pleasure
in it. His house was an inviting place
to drop into, and his friendship one
that many people sought and found
satisfaction in. His friends were not
confined to the particular business or
|, social circle in which he generally
moved, bit were made up of all classes
and came from every stratum of so
ciety-rich and poor, the educated and
the illiterate found in him sympathy,
satisfaction, and help.
He was a religious man, not in the
DRY only, but in practice. He was
regular attendant upon church serv-
ices, he was for years an officer of the
contributions to the support of re-
ligious activities were as generous as
he could afford His pastor said of
him that when in doubt or discouraged
he always knew that If he went 70
Sawyer he would get encouragement
and sensible advice and stimulation.
No o.: ever thought of him as a
great man, nor was he. He was
quiet citizen who saw his duty and
did it, who met the obligations of citi-
zenship with intelligence and cour-
age. who set an example of honesty
and industry which we all might well
emulate.
Last week / saw him going TO work
as usual; tonight / saw in the local
paper the notice of his death at eighty
years of age. His was an average
life well lived

GOING TO CHURCH

NTILKINS is rather pessimistic.
Wv He thinks the young people of
today are going to the dogs pretty
fast.
THE young people don't go to
church today" he said to me not long
ago, "as they did when we were
young"
It's fact" 1 agreed, for young
people do not do anything in these
days as they were done thirty
years agO-or ten.
"YOu and l used to go to church
twice every Sunday" he went on
1--WE did, indeed" Then Wilkins
fell into Renaissance
We did go to church regularly in the
country neighborhOod in which l lived
as a boy. Sometimes the services
were held in the schoolhouse, some
times in the little frame church near
by. We went in the lumber wagon,
on horseback, on foot, in a bOb-sled as
the roads or the time of year required,
and we enjoyed it. 1t was one of our
main social diversions. A young
friend of mine, visiting in the neigh
bOrhood one winter when l was TWEEN
ty, remarked that the chief social
pleasures of our community cor listed
in attending funerals and revival
meetings
The church furnished q social CEN
ter. l do not recall that we were
particularly interested in the services.
The old men gathered about the
front of the church and discussed
prices and crops and the weather un-
til the singing of the first hymn called
them within. The women gossiped
and showed off their babies before
and after services.
We boys did not always go inside
but sat out and told stories and dis
cussed the girls. When we did go in
we sat in the back rows of seats and
whispered surreptitiously during the
sermon. We rushed out after the
benediction and waited near the door
to pick up the girl of cur choice as
she made her exit.
1t is true that the young people of
today do not go to church so much or
so regularly as we did years ago.
They find their social pleasures in a
score OF other activities than were
open TO us. When they do go. how
ever, it is generally because they have
a real interest in the church and what
it stands for. They go for inspira-
ton, for idealism, for the opportunity
which the church gives for thinking on
serious things.
l made an investigation one Sunday
not long ago, and of the seven thou
sand young people in the community in
which / live thirty-fve hundred were
in church that day. 1 thought it not
so bad.
