f amHns "u*#r*or ^oor* Hertford County: u Jno. R. Ev&na being duly sworn says: That he waa one of the jurors empaneled in casej of State vs. J. H. -Robertson ;i that he has read the affidavit of E. W. Whitley, filed in this matter in which he the said E. W. Whitley stated that he had heard the affiiant say on the public streets of Murfreesboro that said Robertson ought to be R severely punished; that . this affiiant says that he has no rd -collection of speaking about the case in the presence of said E Whitley, but says that ithe did ma|ce any statement whatsoev er about the case ne is positive! that he did not say anything which would lead one to con clude that he had pre-judged or made up his mind about the matter; he does admit that he might have stated that if what he had heard about Robertson's conduct was true, that Robert son ought to be severely punish-, ed. He says further that he did! and does not know either Rob ertson or Dr. Walker except by sight and has no interest in the matter whatsoever and he has heard very'little aboi^t it, read, nothing in the newspapers in regard to it and has said very little about it; that he was busy when summoned to the court by the sheriff as a special juror, and had no desire whatsoever to serve on the case. He says further that when He was ques tioned on yesterday concern ing his knowledge of the case! and as to whether he had for med and expressed an opinion concerning the same that his re ply that he had not formed an opinion, was absolutely truth, and he still says that he has not formed an opinion as to the' guilt or innocence of said Rob ertson for the reason that he had heard only a little of the matter and had given what he had heard but little considera tion, and he still says and be lieves that he could have tried the case fairly and impartially. JNO. R. EVANS. Sworn and subscribed to be fore me this 2nd. day of Octo ber, 1921. D. K. McGlohon, Clerk Superior Court." This affidavit wag accepted by the court and Bro. Evans dis missed. Whereas, Bro. Evans feels that his good name has been un justly attacked without an op portunity to defend himself, And, whereas, there has been many un-masonic and un-chris tian things said about Bro. E. W Whitley by Bro. J. R. Evans while he was wrought up over the filing of the affidavit Bro. Whitley at the said term of the court, Therefore, Be it known to all men and Masons that this en tire matter has been thrashed out before the American George Lodge, No. 17, A. F. & A. M. of which both are mem ; bers, on January 27, 192?; and these brethren agreed to settle the matter and live as.they had been living before?as the best of friends,, neighbors, and Ma sons. Bro. Whitley said that he is willing to give and does give Bro. Evanf the benefit of the doubt that the remark that he heard him make "That Robert son ought to be severely punish ed" could have been predicated upon the condition, "If what he had heard about Robertson's conduct was true. He accepts the affidavit filed in court by Bro. Evans as given above. Bro. Evans admitted public ly before the Lodge that he had said in the heafof passion ma ny things about Bro. E. W. Wh itley unbecoming tQ, him (Ev ans) as a man, and a christian; and asked Bro. Whitley's par don. These brethren making the statements in substance came ' together before the Lodge, and shook hands, buried the matter and now ask that their friends and men everywhere wil please let the dead and buried rest un disturbed. ? s. As Master of the Lodge, 1 make these statements that the brethren and ousiders too may know that the matter has been amicably settled; and both are good men; and that both were acting conscientiously in the eo urse each pursued.

LIFE A LONELY ONE Lighthouse Keepers Have Only Sea for Company. Om Urn* for Four Months In LJgM> houoo For Out at' Soa With Corpao of Mats as Only Com panion. Washington.?The monotony of the life of a llghtkeeper Is maddening. Much might be written of the service, hut the department of lighthouses has forbidden Its em ployees to speak of what goes on In the solitary beacon houses along our coaat. It does not tendno popularise the service, and so orders have been' . .formation of any'klhd may he given out by the lighthouse officials. - . - .I Occasionally, aa when a lightship la broken from Its moorings and driven to sea In a frightful storm, the public be comes dimly aware of the danger In curred dally aud nightly by the keepers of the lights along the shores. Asked onte how tliey passed the time In their lonely lighthouse, several mltea from shore, one of the llghtkeepers an swered: "We read and we flsh." Fishing la not an attractive form of recreation In bitter cold weather, so the possible amusements are reduced from two to one, nnd the moat omnivor ous reader must tire of reading some times. There then remains the depress ing survey ef a seascape that la the same yesterday, today, and forever Nothing quite ao appalling. Is to be found in the lighthouse annals as the story of the llghtkeeper who llved'for four months In the dreadful loneliness of a lighthouse far out to seal with the corpse of his mate as his only com panion. The lighthouse keeper's companion died and there was no way of getting the body of the dead man ashore. Ter rible and prolonged storms made It Im possible for the keeper to launch a boat, even had he been able to leave his light. Those ashore who would have relieved him In due time were unable toi get to him fer the same reason. When at last the weather permitted the rescuing party to reach the light house they found the corpse of the as sistant to the lighthouse keeper lashed to the rail of the gallery. The man had toen dead for months and the solitary survivor had been forced te live In the lonely beacon house with the body of his mate gradually crumbling before his eyes and his own superstitious fears driving him to distraction. CHILD DIES; GLASGOW TO PAY City Falls to Give Warning Concern ing Mn Bcrriaa?Leac In Lords. London.1?The house of lords has dls Xed unanimously an appeal of the gow corporation against an award of damages |o a clerk for the death of his young son. So.- however re reluctantly, the Scotch dty must pay up. The boy was poisoned by eat ing berries from a belladonna shrub growing In the botanic gardens of Glasgow. Lord Atkinson delivered the Judg ment of the lords. He said that If the statement of the father were true there was. In this belladonna plant, with the deadly berries which It bore, something of a trap. The berries looked alluring, and as harmless as gropes or cherries. Besides, those managing the botanic gardens knew of the existence of concealed or disguised danger to which a child might be exposed. Of this danger the child was entirely Ignorant and, by himself, could not discover It, yet they did nothing to protect him from the danger, or even to Inform him of Its existence. LOTS OF TROUBLE IN 1926 Mara and Mercury Will Be to Blame for Croat Shakeup, Astrologers Forecast London.?The year 1098 la destined to shake the world to Its foundation, both physically and politically. It is to be a succession of plagues, famine, floods, shipwrecks, rioting and revolu tion. So says the British Journal of Astrology, whlc% has drawn the horo scope for that year, when the planets Mars and MdPcury will be !? conjunc tion. Six years later the gnat Armaged don la to take place. It will be a final conflict between Mohammedanism and Bolshevism against the united An gto-Saxon world. It will end In a "universal peace" In 1982, but "there will be ao few of ua left and we shall all be so tired that peace should bap pen anyhow," the horoscope says. , ?
