F THE "TIGER" RETIRES
TO PRIVATE LIFE.
| (Continued from page 1, column 6.)
I sembly in 1871, became president of
I the municipal court of Paris in 1875
L and was elected to the chamber of
B deputies in 1876. 1887 he declined
W an invitation of the president of
\ France to form a ministry. In the
B general wreck of French politicians
W caused by: the Penama scandal of
1892 he failed of reelection to the
F chamber but in 1902 was sent to the
senate. Meanwhile he had fought six
? or seven duels and had won fame as
k a vitrolic writer. From 1906 to 1909
P he was premier. He was an antiI
clerical and fought for the separation
f of church and state. He led several
I political fights which resulted in the
downfall of as many ministries.
In 1914, at the beginning of the
| war, he established in Paris L'Homme
I Libre, a paper so bitterly anti-adminI
istration that it was suppressed. Soon
I after it reappeared in Bordeaux under
the name of L'Home Enchaine.
Clemenceau refused to be silenced in
exposing government abuses growing
^ out of the war. When the Bola Pasha
\ and Caillaux revelations awakened
V France to her peril, revelations large
ly brought about by Clemenceau, the
r *'Tiger's" popularity became nationwide.
President Poincare called upon
the veteran statesman in November,
^ 1917, when all France was depressed
by the defeatist propaganda and her
^ troops were suffering sorely in the
B. field, to head a new war ministry.
E Interpellated in the chamber of
B deputies as to what his "war aim"
would be, the white haired premier
W replied: "My aim is to be a victor."
K. TJo ovnroeooH ?jf thi? tlTTIP his ODDOSi

tion to receiving Germany into any
society of nations which might be
formed after the war, and declared:
"Men of great minds believe that
words have the power to liberate.
"The word/right,' the word 'justice,'
the word 'liberty,' are words as old
as man. Many thinkers believe some
miracle, will suddenly end the war
and produce a society of nations. I
do not believe it. I am here for action.
I can not see that a society of
nations is the necessary conclusion of
the present war." Later, however,
he approved of the league of nations
^covenant.
"Day of Glory."
Speaking in the French senate in
1917 he declared: "We will fight un^
til the hour when the enemy comes
B to understand that bargaining beW
tween crime and right is no longer
possible. We want a just and strong
- nod no nrf?tor>tino- the future aeainst
| J/VWVV, f>V?VVV*>.0 ?
V the abominations of the past."
W "We have waited 49 years for this
| moment," he was quoted as saying on
f June 25, 1919, when the German note
accepting the treaty of peace was reb
ceived at Versailles. "This is life's
biggest moment for me."
When the turn of the tide came in
f the west when the last German
"drive" had spent itself and the all
lies were breakings the Hindenburg
I
line, he said: "The day of glory has
come! Our sons are completing the
formidable task of their fathers and
with brotherly nations are securing
a supreme victory. All right minded
humanity is with our troops who are
liberating the world from the fury of
evil force."
Shot by the 19 year old anarchist,
Emile Cottin, on February 2, 1919,
Clemenceau joked with the doctor
who attended h'm. "The anarchists
hunted the 'tiger' but they missed
him,'" he remarked. Cottin was sentenced
to death, but Clemenceau urged
commutation and the youth received
ten years imprisonment. When
President Wilson called to express
his sympathy the aged statesman told
him his "hide" was "too thick for a
bullet to pierce."
Upon the completion of the draft of
the peace treaty by the supreme interallied
conference, Clemenceau, who
had presided at the historical gathering,
bade his-, colleagues adieu with
the observation: "I have done my
I best, I think it is a good peace."
Although a radical in French politics,
Clemenceau had no use for bolshevism.
Questioned about the Russian
situation last December he said:
"We not only will not make peace but
we will not compromise with the government
of the Soviets. We have decided
that we will be the allies of all
peoples attacked by bolshevism." He
at the same time expressed his confidence
in the Anglo-Franco-American
agreements and predicted a solution
of the Fiume problem.
"The Fiume question has been
agonizing," he declared. "Italy promised
Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs but
went back on her promise. France, I
England and the United States have
' sought a solution and the latest indiI
cations are that it will be reached.
Only when this is accomplished can
we begin to breathe freely."

Thou hast all seasons for thine
own, 0 Death!
j ? On Thursday, November 20th,
1919, Mrs. Guss^e Free, wife of Mr.
E. F. Free, departed this life to be
with her Lord. The last few months
of her life were spent wrestling with
the disease and she went to the hospital
and there suffered to no avail.
She was frail always when in health,
but she led an unselfish life that commanded
the utmost respect of thosb
who knew her. She was a devoted
wife and mother, and when possible
always ministered to theilr wants.
She left a great heritage to her lovea
ones by her example of patience and
Christian fortitute. She left her
mother, sisters and brothers, busbanu
and three children to mourn her untimely
death, but we do not ask to
understand, for we know God's will
ic hoct Tn lrwinp- armrpeiat/on of
her be it resolved,
1. That in her death the Woman's
Missionary society has sustained a
.great loss.
2. That we extend to the bereaved
family our deepest sympathy, and
commend them to the loving Savior's
care.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be inscribed in our minute

family, and a copy to our county!

MRS. L. E, HILL.
The subject of #this sketch was
born in Alabama September the-twentieth,
1839, and died at her home^in
Bamberg August 19, 1919, having
nearly reached her four score years.
Mrs. Hill was, before her marriage,
Miss Lieuvonia Daffin. She was only
three years of age when her father
died. She came with her mother
to Colleton county, S. C., to maKe
her home in 1850. She was married
to Henry H. Hill August 13,
1858. Mr. and Mrs. Hill moved to
Bamberg county just after the civil
war. She was left a widow in 1876.
The children who survive her are:
J. W. Hill, Bamberg: H. H. Hill. Columbia,
S. C.; Mrs. M. C. Sandifer
and Mrs. Alice Zeigler, both of Tampa,
Fla. There are also a number
of grand-children and great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Hill was converted and united
with the Baptist church early in life,
and lived a consistent Christian life
for more than three score years.
On account of the disease which finally
caused her death she was shut
'"n for a number of years. She suffered
a great deal. Yet, none went
to see her who did not come away
with a blessing for having been In
her presence.
She was unselfish in a great degree,
cheerful even amidst suffering
and her? consecrated life impressed all
who came in contact with her. The
Lord always received the best in her
heart and life.
When the Red Cross called for
workers during the great world war
she responded by knitting fifteen
sweaters, 55 pair of socks, a number
of wristlets, besides teaching a
number of people to knit and helped
them with their work. She often re
marked that she felt that the Lord
had spared her life to knit sweaters
and socks for the sailors and soldiers.
Much of this work was done
while she was suffering intensely.
A loving mother, faithful friend,
consecrated Christian and useful
church member finished her work
and went to be with her Lord.
