Mrs. Clifton is well known throughout the county, has many rel atives and friends and no doubt will make a strong I'aee for the office. I for late husband was fur many years ;? representative and Senator from this county and one of its best known political figures. Mrs. Clifton for a number of years worked m the office ?f the clerk of court., when the late Shepherd Nash was clerk of court, and is known as n woman of ?*l?ility.. The incumbent, H. L. Scarborough, who has held tlx* office for several years, has made an efficient and courteous official. He is well known and popular in the county and if he runs again, ynd there seems to be no doubt but what he will, he will be a very difficult man for any opponent to defeat . The announcement of Mrs. Clifton is of much local interest on account of the fact that it is the first. time that a woman has announced herself for ]Mil?li< office in the. hist'jiy uf the count y.

In addition to owning outright a score of the largest hotels in Herlin, Hamburg and Bremen, Stinnes .shared control <>f the iron and coal industry of (lermony with his friend August Thyaaen arid a few others, and occu pied h dominating position in the entire inland navigation of that coun try. He also directed^' several big ocean shipping concerns, owned most of the potash deposits of Central Eu rope, and in 1020 was reported to have purchased 00 newspapers, as well as several paper mills and pulo factories. Hefore the wan Frau Hettha Krupp was said to possess the largest per sonal fortune in Germany. >She paid taxes on property worth nearly ' U00f 000,000 gold marks. At that time StinneV fortune was estimated at 30, nou.OuO marks, which, according to competent calculations, increased during the war and the revolution to more than 1,000,000,000 marks. .?VI though Stinnes proved himself to !m perhaps tTu? greatest industrial Or ganizer Germany ever produced, he was never graduated, so to speak, f r?un the working class. He had the appearance and hearing of a worker, and could go about without attracting attent ion. Fie was once* describe*! an like a piece of coal wandering about among his 'own coal mines. His external appearance was devoid of |>ose, and he seemed heavy and solid. His massive head was set upon a stocky trunk. His black hair%\vas cropped close, his face was pale and expansive; his nose was decidedly hooked, his eyes heavily underlined, and his heard was as black as coal. A German newspaper became popular over night by railing him the "Assy rian king." Novell ics and toys were passion with Stinnes. He would be capti vated in the street by the sight oi a peddler's pack, and if he discovered a new kind of fountain pen or safety razor among the man's wares, his excitement was almost boundless. Stinnes like most men of action, was a person of few words except when asked to discuss his financial affairs, and then he was verbose to a degree that tried the patience of his auditors. Hi-; egotism was no less pronounced than his juvenility and his love of toys. He once stated to a l'teu.h inter viewer that lit was the "richest man in the world"; that he owlied all Ger.-. many, and expected in time to possess Austria and perhaps Hungary. "1 hey can't get alont without me." he re marked with tragic gravity, then add ed i eMe< t ive'y. "neithei can Kng lai d."

This was a favorite extract from the heart of: 'his Socialistic beliefs. ? Yet Stinnett himself did not atart vyith nothing, lie belonged to an [eminent -It-wish family long in com merce, and received substantial aid from his father after completing his studies in a technical school. He was horn February I-, 1H7U, and from earliest boyhood was trained in the principle* of commerce and. trade.' When the World War broke over Kur.ope, StinfHM was transacting u?me business in flustein, Ho read Austria's ultimatum to Serbia and instantly recognized it as war. lit? hurried to his Muelheim home, spent I t hours in the telephone cell of his private apartment; and when he emerged all hits enterprises J were on a war basis. "Politically, Stinnes was an idol of the German People's Party, formerly the National Liberals, which he was said to have financed after the revo lution. During the Inter-Allied dis cussions of the summer in 1920, Stinnett' defiant Ktand as a National Liberal was blamed for the failure to come to immediate terms. It was at this conference, when taken to task for his arrogant attitude, that he electrified the assembly with the statement: "1 have not come here for the pur pose of being polite." In the years that followed, how ever, he became more pacific and urged the German people to adopt a policy of work and product-ton, which he- declared- was- the only sal vation for the war-torn nation. The most human side of Stinnes seemed to In- domestic. He would spend hours in the couipany of his children, fashioning new toys for them and mending old ones, or searching the stores- of Muelheim for novelties. When residing in Berlin, Stinnes and his little girl Would go in tin? afternoon to the zoo, and there the calculating magnate would tem per his voice with a note of sadness and tell over and over again about the poor {ion that hail to be killed during the war because food was so scarce. The industrial prince of (iermany -ea-red nothing f<n- luxury. He owned several motor cars. but usually walked or rode in a trolley car. He was often seen running through the streets of Berlin like a school hoy, hut ho one mole than glanced at him, for aii knew Stinnes and his eccen tricities. If his presence were re quired at one of the mines, he might be seen plodding along the street with a group of blackened miners, or else clinging to a strap in a street car surrounded by his workers, who treated him as one of their number His apartments were modest, al - thought he owned the hotel in which he lived. His country place outside Berlin was a simple cottage with a little garden. He bought no pictures or statues, for they were worthless, so he thought. Hug.. Stinnes had two favorite boasts. One was that he could, buy anyone in Central Kurope "without missing the money," and the other that lie never had seen the former derma n emperor, and wouldn't have turned his head t?? look at him on the st reet .
