The statement then points out al
legged Inconsistencies in Conley's story
and mentions several contradictions in
his story as related in previous affi-
davits. Among them he said were
evidence that the elevator had not
been used Saturday afternoon; that
Frank could not have carried the girl
down the hatchway while Conley, the
negro, could have done so; that bed
ticking never had been seen in the
actory; that it was agreed that the
murder could not have been committed
before 1905 p. h. and yet Conley has
-mma Clark and Corintha Hall in
Franks office after the body had been
disposed of while unimpeached testi-
mony showed that they reached the
factory at :35 and left at 11.45 a. m.
In conclusion the Governor said:
"In the Frank case three matters
have developed since the rtial which
did not coem before the jury, to wit:
"The Carter letters, the testimony
Of Becker indicating that the death
notes were written in the basement
and the testimony of Doctor Harris
that he was under the impression that
the hair on the lathe in the metal
room was not that Of Mary Phagan
and thus tending to show that the
crime was not committed Oh the floor

''In any event the performance Of
my duty under the constitution is a
matter Of my conscience. The respon-
sibility rests where the power is re-
posed. Judge Roam, with that awful
sense of responsibility which probably
came over him as he thought of that
Judge before whom he would shortly
appear, calle to me from another
world to request that do that which
he should have done. I can endure
misconstruction, abuse and eondemna-
ton, but I cannot stand the constant
compaionship of an accusing coscl-
zee which would remind me in every
thought that 1, as Governor of eGor-
gia, failed to do what I thought to be
right

time am discharging that duty which

The Governor then appended the

listen to this:
A car load of Ford touring cars
were delivered to Strowd of Chapel

before they were unpacked.
The first one taken out was The OBJ

over Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Joseph

next day. John Fowler of Hillsboro
sold his roadster to Rev. J. M. Or

after Oscar Craig of University Sta

This didn't leave one for Chas.

Why 1t Is Needed.
Hundreds Of thousands Of our~best
citizens have left North Carolina for

best opportunity is in North Carolina.
Millions Of good citizens have emf
grated from the thickly-settled, high
priced lands Of northern states to the
Canadian northwest, our own north

intelligently conducted advertising
campaigns. Many would have come

Death of Col. &c. Webb.

Death of Col. J.C. Webb.
Col. ]. G. Webb, one of the foremost
and best known citizens of Madison
County, where he has resided for near
ly 40 years, died at his home in East
Madisonville at 5:55 a. m. Wednesday
June 16, after lingering illness of
several months duration. He is sur,
vived by widow and three, children,
Mrs. Carl T. Harper, Judge Joe E.
Webb and E. G. Webb, all of Madison I
vile.
Colonel Webb came to Texas in 1872 !
and lived in the city Of Bryan and
North Grimes County until January,
1877, when he moved to a farm few
miles west of Madisonville, where he
at once became prominent in the af-
fairs of Madison County. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church,
the Masonic Lodge, a typical old-time
Southern gentleman and was loved and
respected by all who knew him.
Colonel Webb was 20 years, six
months and IL days old. He was born
near Greensboro, Ala, December 4,
1885, and moved to Hillsboro, N. c., in
1854 and engaged in the drug busi-
ness. At the beginning of the Civil
War he was one of the first to leave
behind the homes of his living and the
graves of his dead and rush North to
meet an invading army.
On the goth day of April, 1861, by
order of Gov. Ellis of North Carolina,
he went with his Company, (the
"Orange Guards" which was organ
lied in 1855 as part of the volunteer
troops of the State) to Fort Macon,
which guarded Beaufort Harbor. His
company was soon after assigned to
9th North Carolina infantry encamp-
ed at New Bern, but was kept on duty
at the Fort, joining his regiment ri
time to participate at the battle of
New Bern.
Soon afterward his regiment was
ordered to Virginia, arriving in time
for the battle Of Seven Pines. From
then until surrender as Lieutenant-
Colonel commanding his regiment
Appomattox Court House, his service
with the exception of three months
in North and South Carolina) was
with the Army of Northern Virginia
under Gen. R. E. Lee. During that
time his regiment was first in John
G. Walkers brigade, then in John
R. Cookies, who succeeded Walker,
Harry Heth's division of A. P. Hill's
corps. He was promoted as colonen
his regiment just at the close of the
war, but owing to the excitement of
battles and the retreat was not pro-
mulgated; but through the kindness of
Gen. E. O. C.. Ord, commanding at
Richmond, he received his commission
from Richmond after the war closed.
Though in many battles and seven
times struck by the enemy's missiles,
he was only once dangerously hurt.
Funeral services were conducted 9
the City Cemetery, Wednesday aft
noon at o'clock by Rev. DR.. Lewis,
pastor of the Navasota Presbyterian
church.
The Meteor extends sympathy to
the bereaved family
The above is copied from the Madi-
sonville Meteor, published at Madison
vile, Madison County, Texas, Friday,
June 18, 1916.
Col. J. c. Webb, mentioned above, is
remembered by some of his comrades
at Hillsboro, Messrs. D. C. Parks, w.
A. Hayes and VIM. H. Neuman, who
were in the army with him and at the
| surrender at Appomatox.

Antiquity of Royal Families.

sTsHE antiquity, or length of descent.
of the various royal families OF
the world has engaged the attention
and devotion of many men who like TO
trace human blood strains-not stains
back through tho ages. The number
of such men. measured in terms OF the
population Of the world. is exceedinSl!
small. but something of their lack OF
numbers is compensated for by the'r
zeal and industry. Like SO many ex-
perts in other lines of endeavor, they
do not reach the same result In their
investigation and they are rather IN
sistent in their disagreement.
A few of these lineage examiners
contend that the Hohenzollerns OF
Prussia have q greater antiquity than
any other reigninG family in Europe
An energetic member of another set or
school of inquirer5 into the origin OF
royal families insists that the British
royal family strikes It's roots deeper
into antiquity than any of the rest. ana
claims that this royal family mas an
ancestry in a direct line from KING Da-
vid, 1000 years before Christ, and that
of Ireland. ian Israelite). 500 3. c. by
intermarriage with princess OF tne
tribe of Judah, named Tea Tephi. puts
into the shade all other royalties In the
world. This authority declares that
proof of his statement. or vindication
of his belief, is to be found by turning
IN the Bible to Jer.. xiii. 5-s; lsa-, Xl.
1912; Eek, 1928. Tracing back the ances-
try of Great Britain's royal family TO
King David. he further says that the
other royalties Of Europe are all com
paratively new. except Denmark. who
spring from the tribe of Dan.
A student of the Scriptures who lives
in Salisbury. Nd, takes up this mat
ter, and says that after referring to
Jer.. xiii. 5-S: Isa-. xi, 1912; Elk, xxxvii,
1928. he does not in those passages
see any proof to establish the claim
est. and that, in fact. the Scripture
does not refer to or establish the line
age Of any earthly kingdom, but is
purely prophecy. fortelling Of the
kingdom of Jesus Christ, which Is not
of this world. but a heavenly and eter-
nal kingdom"
The matter sought to be proved is
his family and their households, were
taken to Babylon as captives and after
their massacre it was the belief OF
Nebuchadnezzar that the entire royal
family Of Judah had been wiped out
But two the princesses Of the house
escaped the slaughter, being away
from the bloody zone and residing at
Mizpeh. With jeremiah and a colony
they went to Egypt. The argument is
that jeremiah and the Princess Tea
Tephi migrated to Ireland somewhere
about 500 years before the Christian
era and in Ireland the princess was
married to Prince Coward, and from
this union descended the kings and
queens of Scotland, and thus the con-
nection between the present royal fam
lily of Great Britain and King David
is established.

FENCES IN MICHIGAN.
Uprooted Tree Stumps Take the
Place of Our Stone Walls.

From the American Forestry.
An easterner visiting Michigan is at
tracted by the stump fences more than
by almost anything else. Aside from
these stump fences. the farms. the up
lands and the marshes are not much
different from those Of New England.
One misses the characteristic stone
walls of New England, but finds In
their place the most novel fences in
the world-those made of stumps that
have in recent years been pulled out
of the ground by powerful machines
constructed for that purpose. The
force required to pull such stumps
from the ground is enormous. but it
is applied slowly. in submission to the
decree of nature that what is gained
in power must be lost in speed. These
stumps are relics Of the liveliest lum-
bering ever seen in the United States;
it ended about thirty years ago, in Big
Rapids, Grand Rapids and their vicin-
ity. Old-timerS entertain the visitor
by the hour with "reminiscences of the
amazing number of logs that were cut
in that region. Logging somewhat
similar but not nearly so extensive,
still continues in the northern part of
Michigan. but does not equal in extent
nor in picturesqueness that which for
merly took place on the famous Mus
kegon river.
