For the second time George
Holland is standing on the brink of
an open grave. Six months ago, on
the day before his execution was to
take place, Gov. Beckham granted a
respite of six months in order that
Holland might testify in the cases of
his accompHces who were tried in
February. This he refused to dc
and this time he has nothing to
hope for. Tomorrow, probably be-
fore breakfast, he is doomed to die
upon the scaffold.
The crime for which he must die
was one of unparalleled atrocity in
the county. He is one of a gang Of
negro thugs who infested the bar
rooms of Pembroke in November
1903. A white man, a stranger to
everybody. was in Pembroke on
Nov. IA. He seemed to be a ma
chinist of some sort and had kit Of
tools and a roll of money, supposed
to contain about S105, from subse-
quent testimony. He bought some
whiskey in Pembroke and exhibited
his money in paying for it. The
greedy eyes of some of the negroes
took in the situation. The stranger
left the town and a few hundred
yards away camped for the night in
skirt of timber, built a fire and
went to sleep by his campfire to
awake in another world.
Nine negroes subsequently ar
rested were implicated in the MUIR
der and perhaps one or two others
who escaped. Those arrested were
George Holland, Frank Sherman,
Dick Carney, Frank Meriwether,
Bill Garrett, Frank Massie, Ed. Hol-
land, Chas. Finch and Ed. Moseley.
The people demanded prompt &C.
ton and a special term Of court was
held in January 1904, and five of
them tried and condemned to death.
The other cases were permitted to
drag through later courts. Owing
to errors in the lower court rulings,
some Of the cases were reversed and
the trial court set aside the verdicts
in one or two of the cases. Holland
alone was left under death sentence.

s THE THIRTEENTH TO BE HANGED in THE COUNTY.
historical Sketch of Previous Wearers of the
Fatal Black Captive Wofnen--On1y
One White Man

Seven others have since been tried
and given life Imprisonment. One
of these, Chas. Finch, is trying to
get another trial. The ninth of the
gang, Ed. Moseley, is out on a straw
bond, spending a large part of his
time on the chain gang for various
kinds of law breaking.
Old George Holland was one of
the principal murderers. Meri-
wether struck the sleeping stranger
on the head with a bludgeon and
George Holland sprang upon the
quivering form and cut the dying
mans throat. Afterwards the flesh
was cut from the victims face to
prevent recognition and the body
was hidden under a pile of rails,
where it was found three days later.
The detective work in the case
was done by Marshal Jos. E. Jack
son and R. L. Moore, and several of
the men were induced to make full
confessions, Finch being one of
them. The murderers divided the
money among them and spent the
night following the murder In gamb-
ling and drinking. If they had
taken the time to bury the body,
probably nothing would have ever
been known of the crime, but in
their haste to get away, they failed
to conceal the body. 1t was found
by E. F. Coyner, mail carrier, and
Mr.. Dorsett, of Pembroke, while
being devoured by hogs.

The Feature Of the Teachers
Institute Tuesday
Night.
CHARMEDLARGE CROWD.
The Institute Will Adjourn
Tomorrow at Close of
Afternoon Session.

The address Of Prof. r. N Roark,
instructor Of the county Teachers
Institure, last Tuesday night, was
one Of the most interesting heard
here for many a day.
An excellent musical program
preceded the address. Mrs. r. c..
Hardwick, in her usual excellent
way, presided at the piano. Miss
Lillian Gary, one Of the sweetest
violinists in this section, and DR.. r.
F. Mcdaniel with his flute. render
ed a duet, entitled The Angels
Serenade'to the great enjoyment of
the large crowd present. They were
loudly encored, but failed to answer
until the next number on the pro-
gram was rendered.
Miss Nell Donaldson, who never
fails to charm with her entrancingly
sweet and highly cultivated voice,
sang solo, with piano accompani-
ment, "Sing Me to Sleep" So de-
lighted were the auditors that they
loudly demonstrated their eagerness
to hear her in another number.
Miss Gary gave as the second
number, "Barcolle. In this solo
the artist exceeded herself. Not a
note was lost by the audience, and
her violin never gave out sweeter
tones or called forth higher appre-
citation. The rendition was perfec-
ton.
The theme of DR.. Roark was Face
to Face with the Here and Now"
He dealt in most masterful way
with the problems that have con-
fronted the nations of the past and
up to the nations of today. Touch
ing upon the questions propounded
by the Sphynx to the ancients-
Persia, Greece, Rome, England, etc.
he came up to the problems of to-
GEOGRAPHICALLY in our own coun-
try, which, in his concluding re-
marks, he called '"The Crowned
Queen of the Court of Nations" He
spoke at length of the conditions in
our country, after referring to the
Revolutionary and Civil Wars; of the
so-called race question, which he
does not regard really as a problem,
but condition, and the changes in
the negro's condition must be
brought about by himself alone, and
that by being educated and lifted
out of his present condition of ig-
norance and degradation. Then
there is the tramp question; the inn
migration question; the large cities,
which contain one-fifth of our popu-
lation, and many other questions,
some of which cannot be answered
today. But what our country needs
is better teachers, better buildings
and better discipline. And back of
all is the training of children in the
home. DR.. Roark's address showed
his familiarity with current events
and conditions, through analysis and
his great design for the general
education of the children of Ken
lucky.

end to prey upon his mind to any
considerable degree. He really
seemed Indifferent to his fate and
was slow in answering all questions
put to him. There was a noncha-
lance about him that seemed born Of
a vague hope that Governor Beck
ham will yet delay the execution Of
the law, or commute his sentence to
Imprisonment for life, with his
other seven confederates.
Holland does not look his SO years
by 10 or Is. He looks well groomed,
weighs about 165 pounds and has
evidently been taking things easy.
He says, however, that he has had
but little desire of late to play the
fiddle.
To the question as to whether he
was prepared to meet his God, he
replied: 81 can't say for certain"
"Haveyou been praying, George?"
eyes, sir, some"
How often a day."
Sometimes three times a day,
and sometimes oftener. l can't
pray as often as I want to, because
there is another man in here with
me. / wish you would ask Mr..
Boyd to give me room to myself"
To the direct question as to
whether he thought Governor
Beckham would commute his sem
tence, he said that he had been
living in that hope. This hope has
evidently been the cause of Hol-
lands indifference. Why he inn
agined this, was not made known.
When he was told that there
seemed to be not even the remotest
indication of the Governor inter-
fering with the Carrying out of the
death penalty, the doomed man
turned over on his stomach, rested
himself on his elbows and looked as
if he still thought that he was not
to die before the sun sets tomorrow
evening. 1t is hard to understand
his stOlid Indifference. He was not
curt in his replies to questions, but
throughout the interview seemed
to want to be let alone.
Finally, to the question as to
whether he feared death, he said.
Il don't fear to die, and would
not mind it if wasn't to die for
something that | didn't do. / didn't
kill that man."
well, George, whether you did
or not, the jury says you must die.
You, like the others, have had your
trial, and you have been adjudged
guilty, and the thing for you to do
is to get ready to die"
Studying a while, he slowly re-
piled: Il never saw that man, and
don't know any thing about it."
Charley Finch, who was standing
in the cell, smoking a cigar delib-
erately, seemed really more in
terested in the conversation than
Holland. Occasionally he would
knock the ashes from his cigar and
tell Holland he ought to think more
about his approaching end. Finch
was not sufficiently interested, how
ever, to allow his cigar to go out.
Holland expressed a desire to see
his wife, saying that he does not
know where she is now-that the
last time he heard of her she was
at Guthrie. He said he wanted
somebody to telephone her to come
to see him.
The Kentuckian man was allowed
to see Holland a second time. He

hearts which cost upward of sI90 are
those of pearl. when are extremely
