MORRISON SAYS HE HAS NO
POWER TO PARDON M’BRAYER
Declares the Gtne.al Assembly of the
State Says He Shall Not.
Raleigh. Nov. 26 —Governor Morrison
lack.? the power to pardon Dr. L. IS. Mc-
Brayer because the judgment vacating
his office as superintendent of Sanatori
um was written into the law by the
legislature, so he declared in a state
ment this afternoon after he had in
formed Dr. T.. W. M. Long and Senator
W. E. liai rison. of the Sanatorium
board of trustees, that he could not modi
fy his attitude toward the affair.
"I have the right to pardon men from
the judgement of the courts for fines,
imprisonment, etc., for violation of the
criminal law. but I have no earthly right
to say a public official shall not be re
moved from office under circumstances
where the general assembly of the state
says he shall be." the statement de
clared. adding:
“This seems to be a hard case, but
the law is a good one and ought to
warn every officer in North Carolina
that the matter of trading where self
interest is involved is a high offense and
cannot be tolerated in this state."
In commenting.on the case, the Gov
ernor emphasized that he has no personal
interest whatsoever. Ho thinks the
state will find insurmountable difficul
ties iq replacing Dr. Mcßrayer, for he
considers him one of the greatest men
in tuberculosis work in America.
But the legislature wrote into the law
the judgment that vacates the office and
Dr. Mcßrayer’s plea of gniltv places
him under that judgment, the Governor
fpels.

O. T. C. STUDENTS MAY GET
ADDITIONAL PAY FROM U. S.
Ruling May Give Them Difference Be
tween SIOO and Their Pay While in
Training School.
Former soldiers who served in array
training campg in 191 S may get addi
tional pay from the United States. This
fact is brought out in a recent ruling
of the war department which has been !
given much pnbliciy and which is can*- 1
ing interest among former service men 1
who serVed in training eamps.
Several Concord men have written to
the Chief Fnanoe Officer of the War
Department asking for information and
he has furnished them with blanks
which are to be filled out and sent it.
The following from The American
Legion Weekly gives some facts in re
gard to the Ynarter:
Immediately following the announce
ment of Comptroller General McCall's
ruling that enlisted men who attended
officers* training eamps during 191 S were
entitled to the difference between their
army rate of pay and SIOO per month,
the Weekly received letter from Legion
naires containing in general the follow
ing: "I have just received from one
(giving the name of an at
torney) of Washington, D. C.. a request
that I appoint him to proceed to collect
for me pay and allowances due for time
spent in officers* training camp in 1018.
When was the legislation granting this
extra pay passed? Is it necessary to
proceed through an attorney in order to
collect? Is it advisable to appoint
someone to handle the case?”
Jt is not necessary to proceed through
an attorney or to appoint someone to
handle applications for this additional
pay. This us a matter that the indi
vidual can handle as well and probably
more expenditiously himself.
A paragraph in the army appropria
tion act of June 1.1. 1017, set aside $220.-
882,560 “for pay of enlisted men of all
grades, including recruits, and pay at
SIOO a month for enlisted men in train
ing for officers of the Reserve Corps.”
The Comptroller ruled as follows “It
is evident that the purpose of the legis
lation authorizing (pay ‘not exceeding
SIOO a month’ for civilians in tlic act of
May 12, 1017, and “pay of SIOO a month’
for enlisted men in the act of June 15,
1017, was to provide pay for the training
period and provide trained officers for
the army, and not for the purpose of
building up Officers’ Reserve Corps.
"It is apparent that the designation
of enlisted men of the line for training
under the revised regulation of January
5, 101 8. was for the purpose of training
them as ‘officers of the army’ and that
they were accordingly entitled to the pay
fixed by the act of June 15. 1017. The
adjutant general. I*. S. A., reported Jan
uary 30, 1023. that claimant's status was
that of_an enlisted man on detached ser
vice in training for a commission . . .
and he is accordingly entitled to the dif
ference between s.‘>.'s and SIOO a month
for such period.”
This ruling affects hundreds of men
who attended the officers’ training camps
during 1018. A man coming under
this ruling may make application to the
Chief of Finance, War Department.
Washington. D. ('.. for this difference in
pay. In his. application he-should show
when he was ordered into service, where
and when he attended an officers’ train
ing camp and what his status and pay
were while in attendance.
And it is not necessary to engage an
attorney to handle these claims.
Jos. Walton Says. “I'ii Never Forget
When Father’s Hogs Got Cholera.
“One morning he found 20 hogs dead
and several sick. lie called in the

on the premises, decided that the rodents
had conveyed germs. Sirwe then I
am never without RAT-SNAP. It’s
