dons. Governor Kitchlu lias Issued pardons
to Tinner Holly, of Guilford county,
and Jasper Greene, of Granviue county.
Tinner Holly
was convicted In Guilford court at the
June term 1909 of the crime of larceny,
and sentenced to five years on the
roads. Reasons for .pardon:
Prisoner's general record has been
bad. He served on the road over one
year with a good record as a prisoner.
Last July he wast taken sick -mid -has
since been confined in jail. The county
physician thinks he will not be able
to work on the roads again, and tint
further Imprisonment will permanently
Impair his health. The sheriff, the
chairman of the board of county com
missioners ,and other "Officials recom
mend hi3 pardon. I am Informed that
his father is able to take care of him.
I therefore pardon him on condition
that he remain law abiding ami of
good behavior and that for the next
four years 'he appear' at the first fail
term of the.. superior court of Guilford
county of each year at which crim
inal cases are triable , a ltd' satisfy the
court that ho has been, law . abiding'
and of good conduct.
. Jasper Greene

court at the January term 11101 qC -the
crime of murder In the. second degree
anil sentenced to CO years In state's
prison. Hansons for pardon:
Jasper Green has now served over
ten years, and Is over seventy, years of
age. His prison record is good. Many
citizens, including county officials, ask
for his pardon. The attorney who
acted us solicitor In his . prosecution
strongly recommends pardon "on ; the
grounds Inf ' the great provocation un
der which prisoner was suffering at the
time or the homicide. There Is no
protest. The . provocation as disclosed
in the papers was such; as to'strOngly
appeal to me in his behalf. I -there
fore, pardon prisoner on condition that
he remain law abiding and of good
behavior, "'

(B.v Cable to The Times.)
London, Feb. 6 Commoners and
peers will have to fight out their quar
rel . Without, any .interference by tho
throne. This Is the construction placed
upon King George's speech opening
parliament today. In his speech.-the
only reference that tne king made to
the veto question was a statement that
proposals would be placed before parli
ament on which the two bodies may
reach a inuiiial understanding. Further
than nerving as u peacemaker, thus
far the king is not expected to net.
Tho politicians are all at sea as a result-
as a strong declaration on the
veto-Issued had been expected.

assistance in the life boats as soon as
the beach patrol discovered tho plight
or the wrecked vessel in the "graVi
yinril of 'Ships."- '";. "''
The Kerlln was bound from Norfolk
to Charleston, with a cargo of coal.
During the night the gale increased to
a serious storm and the heavy liden
vessel was tossed about helplessly,
great seas breaking over her. When
II whs thought she was safely p.isfthi
dangers of Cape Hatteras, the wind In
creased in velocity and tho ship wtl
driven on tho shoals. ,
Rockets were sent up and th lit
