( News-Observer)
James E. Tharrington, one-time
influential banker of Smithfield
and Raleigh, Monday had begun
a 2 6-to-3 0-year sentence for the
"Jealously" slaying of John Mc
Millan, Selma oil dealer.
Tharrington, who gave himself
up voluntarily after abandoning
his appeal to the Supreme Court
was being put through the routine
classification tests at Central Pri

the ex-banker had not yet been
assigned to a task.
Convicted at a special term of
court in July of second degree
murder, Tharrington was sentenc
ed by , Judge Hubert E. Olive, who
told him he was fortunate to have
escaped the gas chamber. McMil
lan. young unmarried man, was
shot to death by Tharrington, al
legedly in a jealous rage over his {
attentions to Mrs. Rosalie Hales ;
King, pretty divorcee who had
"dated" the married banker.
Deputy Sheriff Dan Marler ac
' companied Tha'rrington to prison
after the convicted man notified
Court Clerk H. V. Rose that he
was ready to go, and would meet
t'he officer at a drug store in
Raleigh. Thaftrington took his
radio along with him, Marler said. '
"I never knew a prisoner to act
i nicer," Marler remarked. "He met
! me on the minute and acted just
| fine all the way through."
Tharrington had been free un
der $10,000 bond pending hearing
of the appeal that was never per
i fected.
The prisoner formerly wus

MANY HEAR '
SEN. HOBBS
CHAIRMAN OGB URN
WAS PRESENT
Anti-Crop Control Was Pop
ular Among a Court
House Full Tuesday
Night; Speaker Shows
Control a Failure
Farmers in large numbers. In
fact a Court House full of them,
were present to hear Senator 8.
H. Hobbs, Sr., discuss the ques
tion of Anti-Crop Control in the
Courti House at Louisburg Tues
day night, and it was easy to tell
that the crowd was largely with
the speaker in his condemnation
of the present system. Ho begun
his address by telling the farmers
he had talked to 18,000 farmers
m the State, and passed Hie us
ual boquet, "but this is the most
intelligent group I have seen."
He said t'he farmers had been led
into voting for this Crop Control
through misrepresentations by
people who talked of the glories
or the bill and the wonderful re
suits it would bring, but* now, we
are learning that it is not produc
ing the results. Prices, he said
are lower this fall than last fall.
He predicted that* there was not a
man In the audience that would
have voted for the bill had they
known its actual contents. He
said the bill was unconstitutional
because of its displacing the bill
of rights, and was unjust as it de
prived so many of making an
honest living. He charged the ad
vocates of the bill with falsity
staWng the American people can
not be regimented, under the
name of Democracy or any other.
He said the committees, who were
charged with the distribution of
the acreage, failed because of the
human element they come in
contact with, relationship and
friendship. He called attention to
the fact t'hat this years cotton crop
was cut a third, yet the price to
day is less than last year. He
argued that in 1935 with Control
| t'he biggest tobacco crop in his
i tory was made and sold for 2'yVj
[cents while in 1936, after the Su
preme Court had turned the far
mers loose, with a still large? *
crop prices were higher. He said
[this year the crop would be one
hundred million pounds less, yet
the price was averaging 5 cent's
a pound less than last year. He
told of Canada increasing its to
bacco production from six mil
lions to seventy-one millions
while we were reducing and of
how other foreign countries were
Increasing production of both cob
ion and tobacco, thereby taking
our foreign markets away from
us, and how other countries like
Great Britian is trying to make
themselves self-supporting in
case of a future war. ? He said
this bill doesn't control as it al
lowed some to plant all they wan
ted and sell what they made by
buying allotments at' 5 cents a
pound. He] said the bill is mean;
it had comlnitted rape, arson and
burglary and. that it provided ^
means for the rich to grow rich
er and the poor poorer. He called
for all in favor of the control bill
l to raise their hands and a few
went up, but when he called for P
those not in favor of it to raise
theirs, it seemed that ill in t/he
house and more raised as all you
I could see was raised hands. The
crowd was with the speaker. He
| told of the illegality of the elec
tion charging voting by 10 year
olds.
His speech was well taken by
t'hose present and the house was
full.
The speaker was introduced by
Chairman H. I. Ogburn, of the
State Anti-Crop Control Associa
I tion who also explained the activ
ity a ltd present status of the
Court action to stop the collec
i tion of taxes on the surplus pro
duction and how each farmer in
Franklin County could get in on
this suit and protect himself
against the government getting
his money as penalty. He Invited
all who wanted to do so Do pay a
dollar and sign a paper showing
his wishes so that they could be
protected and many went forward
and signed and paid the price It
was deemed best to have a local
organization for t'he purpose of
handling the papers of the meet
i*ig^nd A< Johnson was elect
ed Chairman and A. L. Hicks Fi
nancial Secretary. The question
of an active and permanent or
ganization was left to the future
needs and demands.
Sen Hobbs was from Clintou.
and Chairman Ogbuiu was front
| Sanford, and both represented
themselves to be farmers work
ing in the interest of farmers at
? t'heir own expense.
