It begins to look a though Gov
; ernor Kitchln was not going to grant
a pardon to Wiley Black; leastwise
not right away. The friends ot Black.
who were hopeful that the governor
; would pardon him for Christmas,
' were disappointed that the pardon
didn't arrive. Later It waa rumored
that the governor would extend exec
utive . clemency Immediately after
Chrlstmaa and the pardon, since Sat
urday, ha been hourly expected. But
the governor haa not acted and In
formation from Ilalelgh Is to the ef
fect that the governor haa not even
opened a paper In the case since the
last hearing granted counsel over a
month ago; and further that the gov
ernor has no Idea Just when he will
take further action If at all.
The governor has been appealed to
by strong Influences here to extend
executive clemency to Black. letters
i recommending a pardon have gone to
the Kovernor recently from prominent
men In both the democratic and the
republican parties. The main tenor of
these letters recommending pardon
has to do with Black's Illness and the
further fact that In the opinion of the
petitioners Black was too severely
punlnhed for the offense committed.
Col. I.usk, one of those petitioning the
governor for the pardon, said in plain
English that Black fell a victim to a
sentiment. Judge Prltchnrd, of the
flood Government league, who also
recommends Black's pardon, bellevea
that Black has been sufficiently pun
lnhed and that a pardon for Black Is
the humane course.

Prominent TliroiiglMiul the South.
Dr. Burroughs was not only one:
of the most prominent physicians In i
Ashevllle but also in North Carolina,
If not in the south. Ills specialty was
tuberculosis and In that branch of
the medical profession he probably
excelled. His patients came from all
parts of the south and the north, the
east and the west. He was very suc
cessful in the practice of his profes
sion, worked very hard, and accum
ulated considerable wealth. Dr. Bur
roughs was not only a physician but
he waa a public-spirited man. He j
was enthusiastic in every movement j
that tended to the betterment of the
town In civic and sanitary matters.
He was he father of the antl-expec-
(oration ordinance In Ashevllle; he
wna a member of the Ashevllle board
of health for many years and up to
the time of his death: he was a mem
ber of the state board of health: one
of the organisers of the Buncombe
County Medical society and twice
president of the organixatlon. an
honor not shared In by any other
memlter. he whs president of the Trl-
ptate Medical society of North Caro
lina, South Carolina and virglnln; he
was prominent In the Mississippi Val
ley Medical society; one of the organ
isers of the Tuberculosis society of
North Carolina and a conspicuous
figure at the American Tuberculosis
congress.
Ir. Burroughs was Interested In
everything that pertained to medi
cine. His whole life waa wrapped up
In hla profession; he labored for the
welfare of a suffering public; for the
alleviation of huma nills. He was
thoroughly versed In medicine; an
authority on tuberculosis.
I)r. Burroughs waa also closely
Identified with the secret orders. He
whs high Mason, a member of the
Knights of Pythias and of the Elks.
He was a man of strong conviction, of
high character; a friend to many; a
man who shared hla wealth with oth- j
era less fortunate. He waa noble and ,
public-spirited. He was a man on j
whom a friend could always call; a
man. however, with principles at d j
prejudice; one whom few If any could
defraud; of fine business ability, a be
liever In Ashevllle and the future
growth and prosperity of this city and ,
tlon. i
He Was an Organiser.

pended time and money In the f ur- j

In Yancey county drove through the
