Royal Bridegrooms Who Mamed Com moners- London, April 22.—1 f the Prince of Wales were to choose for his wife a lady outside the circle of royalty, he will be able to quote many excellent pre cedents for such a choice; for many of hie royal predecessors have found hap piness in such unions. In fact, until the Royal Marriage Act put an oustacie in , the way of such unorthodox matches. I English princes were free to give their : hands where their hearts could go with them. When, for example, Edward, the Black Prince, sought a wife, he turned his back on the fairest of princesses, to woo tb* beautiful Joan Woke, a lady who had no drop of royal -blood in her veil*, and no ancestor more exalted I thhn a baron. But in Joan the prince | found happiness such as po more exalt ed wife could have; given him; and she I also gave him a son to perpetuate the jline of kings. j Where his eldest brother led the way. , John of Gaunt was glad to follow, when ihe went a-woolng Catherine Swynford. a lady who had no exalted birth to add jto her beauty and charm. She bore four • children to her romantic lord; and from ■ her was descended Henry IV., who ) raised the humble Swynford blood to j the throne of England. I But the most; unconventional of nl' royal lovers was undoubtedly Henry jVni., who in four of his half-dozen marriages decided to wed where he Iloved. This he declared when he bestow ed bis hand upon pretty Anne Boleyn. And though Anne had a city apprentice, ! Godfrey Bolevn, for great-grandfather. , Heiiry loved her with a passion no em peror's daughter had ever inspired. And yet, in spite of all his passion and protestations, Anne’s beautiful body was scarcely cold before the royal Lothario was vowing love and loyalty at the altar bf her successor, Jane Seymour, a la4y who had a plain country knight for father, and nothing but a pretty face to commend her to l)is favor. And Jane had two un-royal successors in Henry’s fickle heart, to both of whom he was devoted, for a time, with equal passion- e . When James, Duke of York, younger brother of Charles 11., decided to take to himself a wife, he chose Anne, daugh ter of Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, and granddaughter of a Wiltshire squire—a young woman of no great birth and Ittle beauty. From this un royal union came two 'of England s queens—Miary 11.. and Anne—to mingle the rustic squire’s blood with that of Stuart kings. With Oar Advertisers.

NEGRO ASSAUNT OF mniNNis i Posses Are Still Scouring Woods For Him But So Far He Has Managed To Escape Those Seeking Him NINE SUSPECTS 1 are t examined .Ire r I Young Woman Not Able To Identify Any Os Them— Fear Mob Violence Is Rap idly Subsiding (By the Associated Press) . Carthage. N. C., April 22.—Seareh was i continued here today for a negro alleged : to have attacked a young girl near here ■ Monday afternoon. Though there was considerable interest in the case, the ex i citement which prevailed yesterday af ternoon when it was believed the negro i was surrounded in a patch of woods tmt ■ side the city limits, had for the'most part subsided. Mob violence was' tio longer feared, it was stated, in the event of the negro's capture. Nine negroes were taken before the ' girl this morning after they had been ar rested as suspects. She was unable to identify any of them. Among the men who were subsequently released, wns Dock Roberts, who wns believed to have been the man wanted. Posses continued their search through the country today, it was stated in the office of Sheriff Fry. Carthage, April 21, —Despite the fact that armed passes have scoured the coun tryside in all direction last night and today, the unknown negro who attempted criminal assault upon the 16-year-old white school girl yesterday evening in broad daylight and in a short distance from a number of houses is still at large tonight. Excitement is still at white heat and the same precautions to prevent the escape of the assailant will be taken tonight. Rumors of a strange negro bearing the description of the fugitive have come in from many sections of the county but the only one that apparently tended to give any traee of the fleeing negro is from Parkwood. this county. It seems to be a eerfuu fy that a young yellow “negro about 18 or 26 years old. of heavy built, which corresponds with the description given by the girl of her as sailant, spent the night last night at the home of Ira Marly, a colored man. This man and his wife were very reticent about giving information to the officers and both were taken into custody and lodged in jail. Later the woman and several other suspects who had been arrested but prov ed to be not the man wanted were re leased. Marly is still in custody and was given an examination by Solicitor Don Phillips, of Rockingham, who arrived on the scene this evening to direct the man hunt. Gordon Smith, assistant adjutant general, also is here assisting in the mat ter. The crime Is one of the boldest ever attempted in this section, according to the authorities. The young girl was on her way to her home, which is about a mile from town, from school. Her home is some distance from the highway and aft er she had left the roadway going along t path leading to her home a negro sprang out of a small building as she passed, threw a strap around her neck, choking her so she could not cry out, and drag ged her into a nearby woods. However, she put a terrific fight and the noise made attracted' the attention of two colored women nearby and they started to the scene, which caused the man to flee before he accomplished his purpose, leaving his cap in his hurry. The women on being questioned claim ed not to have seen him. They carried the young girl to her home, she being well nigh unconscious, her clothing nearly torn off and her neck showing evidence of her terrible ordeal. She is resting comfortbly today and the physician called in states that she ap parently will suffer no permanent ill ef fect. Bloodhounds from Raeford were sent for and put upon the trail about 6 o’clock yesterday but they were unable to track the hunted man. Officers of all nearby towns and coun ties have been furnished with a descrip tion of the wanted man and instructed to take all strange negroes answering the description into custody and notify sheriff R. G. Fry, who will bring them in for identification. The arrest of the right man is expected hourly. Raleigh, April 21 • —According to a re port received here late tonight from Carthage, the negro assilant of a young school girl was still at large with a continuing search of the surrounding coun-| try for him but fear’ of mob violence in j the event of his capture has been dimin ished. ’ National guard companies at Asheboro, Raeford and Raleigh stood in readiness ■ to proceed bn, immediate notice to Moore ■ county should the situation demand their I presence.
