WILL UPHOLD THE LAW
AN EMPHATIC DECLARATION
 BY GOVERNOR. JELKs. %
He Says He Will Stand by Alabama Sheriffs Who Do Their Duty.
 . News at the State --..
 Capitol. -'- ,~

Governor Jelks went to Eufauia yester- day afternoon to spend Sunday at his home. When his attention was called by representative of The Advertiser to an article in The Fort Payne Journal crit tcfsing his conduct in sending the mili- tary to -Ashville to protect Sheriff North during his recent trial the Governor said:' e
 "Yes, have seen the clipping from The Fort Payne Journal, and it is the first criticism I have seen of my official con- duct in that matter"
 What have to say?" Why. this only If I. as Governor of this State. am op- posed to lynch law, I should protect any sheriff from any swaggerlng' element that would seek to illegally punish him for doing his duty. It was represented Clair County that North was in danger.
 l could not have forgiven myself leaving him to suffer for an official act which. so far as l"knOw, has had the approval Of the entire country. The Sherfffs of the State may understand that in all lawful discharges of their duty I will protect them in so far as my office allows and l win stretch my prerogative to do 1t. IT l had suffered North to come to harm when the means were in my power to prevent 1t. I would properly be charged with most pusillanimous conduct. It would be notice to the sheriffs that the Governor of the State was prepared, to desert them in their troubles. 1 will not issue any such notice.''
