Htjmtrr. April ~1 Mrs. Klr/abetn
1 1. ('liflon, widow of thy late John II.
iHifton, has announced her candidacy
for the oilier of clcrk -of court for
Fhimler Counly in the primaries this
summer. 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

JlUfcfo St nines vVa ; spoken of in
Continental Europe as th?* German
who dm' i Kid everything in rfiKht, and
from the peculiar pleasure In* found
in confiding- 1 In* si/.*? of hi?, fortune to
all who would ! i ton, the detail* of
his vast industrial enterprises, atxl
the extent of his mining, .shipping
and newspaper holding were never
left very miirh in doubt.
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

us. \it ,-ee the a:rs they g.ve them- I
selves. 1 could buy them all up and
never miss the mortey." 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 .
