vent prayers OF DUKE OF MONMOUTH
thanks that all sin was about to be
abolished and that a pious man was
leading their country back to the
good old days" of Oliver Cromwell.
The "pious man" was James, Duke
Of Monmouth. He had about as much
plety as peacock-and almost as
much beauty. To this day it Is hard
to decide whether he was more black
guard or arrant coward. Probably an
equal blend of both.
Charles II Of England died without a
direct heir. Thus his younger broth
er mounted the throne as King James
IL. Many English people hated and
distrusted King James. Many politi-
clans looked on him as an enemy Of
their pet schemes. A large number
Of Englishmen were Puritans who
were disgusted with the dissipation
and extravaganza Of Charles reign
and sighed for the graver. godlier
times Of Cromwell.
Monmouth was the son Of one Lucy
Walters, who claimed to have been
tecretly married to Charles II. Mon
mouth declared he was therefore the
rightful heir to the British throne.
He land the politicians who made use
Of him) said the records of the mar
riage and of his birth were hidden
In q mysterious BLACK box" and
would be produced at the proper time.
Charles had publicly denied this story.
But this proved little. For Charles
had had a way Of denying anything
be did not want to confess. And he
had lent color to the rumor by his
great affection for young Monmouth.
Now that Charles was dead and
James was on the throne, In 1855,
Monmouth was thrust forward by a
group Of shrewd men as England's
lawful King. His advisers first
worked on the weak Dukes ambitions.
then persuaded the Puritans that he
would bring back the customs Of
Cromwell. They induced Monmouth
to raise the flag of rebellion in the
west Of England where Puritanism
was strongest. Monmouth proclaimed
himself King at Taunton, and de-
clared James II had poisoned King
Charles to gain the crown.
At once thousands Of farmers, peas
ants and shopkeepers flocked to the
Dukes standard. They were simple,

had been sent to demand tribute and

The soldier obeyed without mo-

TWO men KILLED
NEAR W|LLIFORD

Last Friday evening about a
o'clock as D. A. Green, a farmer,
was returning to his home from
Williford, he was shot off his horse
from ambush and killed. He was
shot in the face with buckshot,
Green, who was 65 or 70 years OF
age, lived about five miles from
Williford and the assassination oc-
Cured within a mile of his home,
An inquest failed to develop
facts sufficient to warrant the ar
rest Of any person in connection
with the crime, and up to this time
no arrests have been made. Green
is said to have been an unpopular
man in the community and was
frequently a party to petty disputes
and troubles. Many people believe
he had considerable money on his
person all the time and that rob-
berry was the motive of the party
who killed him. There are other
theories also from which there may
be developments.
The second man killed was John
Enos, who was known to have been
at work in the timber near the
place where Green met death. Enos
did not return to his home Friday
night and search for him was be-
gun. His dead body was found
Sunday morning at a considerable
distance from the spot where ne
had been cutting timber, the body
evidently having been carried from
the place of the murder. One
theory advanced is that Enos saw
and knew the murderer of Green
and that the same party who shot
Green also shot Enos in order to
prevent the testimony he would be
able to furnish.
Considerable excitement prevails
at Williford on account of the
double murder, and it is said to be
the belief of many that the guilty
party or parties will soon be known,
