THE REVTJLW: REID3VILLE, N". C
THE CASWELL BOV WHO
GOT PRETTY HUNGRY
W. T. Boat writes from Raleigh as
fellows: Charlie Jan-ell. Caswell coun-.
ty kid who got "hungry" with a caplt 4
H and la tho State prisontwo years
la a free boy again.
Governor Bickett awarded him lib
wty today in perhJipa the most re
markable set of reasons ever given by
any governor. The boy had nobody
working for him except his tenderness
and his Illiteracy and on these Gov
ernor Bickett hangs all the lw and
the prophets.
Governor Bickett Issued the pardon
without knowing, nor does he how
know, that the application was filed
in November. So far as the i Chief
executive knows this Is the only word
ver said for the urchin save the let
tor which Dr. F.- M. Register sent
Along with the little brat's The pris
on physician, apparently the only man
ia all the past state prison company
who had the smallest initiative or
disposition to study crimtnology,wroi
e letter asking Governor Bickett to
kelp the little felow out. The doctor
mentioned one circumstance tuat
might haveworked against the boy. It
appears that when Jarrell came to the
central prison in Raleigh he hid in an
c id boiler all night and tried to es
cape. That's the story he told Dr.
Keste'.That doubdeos made him "In
orrlgible" albeit there is no record
that he received whait generally comes
to incotrrte'Jblesy pfeiralytilc-imhteciles,
hospital patients or what-nots. Dr.
Register asked that this childish
WTong be blotted out.
Dr. Register thought nothing bat
.urther acquaintance with the hard
ness could come of continued impris
onment. Governor Bickett takes the
view In the same spirit of humanita
rtanlsm. "I wouid, be a far worse crim
inal than the boy ir l reiusea
him'to do so," says the governor In
speaking of the chap's desire to re
turn home. The letter which won the
child's liberty and Governor BIckett's
comment for a rare piece of literature
In daily news grind: :
"Charlie Jarre writes me the fol
lowing letter from the state farm:
" 'dear smr. gov.; i am a small boy
n the state prison, my mother and
lather live on au little farm in Virginia,
and some boys come, over in north
Carolina to my home and they wanted
me to go with them to north Carolina,
Mid 1 went, and we , got Hungry pn
the way and wentj in a imans store
that night and they put us in Jail, i
stayed in jail three months and then
was sent for two years here, i have
Iten here twelve months and am the
smallest white boy here, so please
mr. gov. let me go home and 1 wont
lever leave home no more.'
"It will be observed that 'Hungry'
in the only word in the above letter
that tho boy spells with a capital.
"When the boy refers to himself he
is all humility, and jots down a little
I that barely makes a speck upon the
Tr j nn nrlncci I1W CTOWl
page, no uuca uw v.mv .
before the man in whose power rests
his liberty, but approaches him as a
friend and fellow mortal, and in let
ters on a level with those referring
to himself he writes, 'dear mr. gov.'
But when he comes to spean oi mo
might of the passion that through all
the ages has held boyhood in its sav
age grip his sense of proportion dom
inates his hand and he writes, 'we
got Hungry.'
"The letter rings true. In it is re
eoled a wayward boy who has wear
Jed of the life in the 'far country' and
longs to return to his 'father's houe
I woul be a far worse criminal than
the boy if I refused to allow him to
do so. A full pardon Is therefore
granted."
Governor Bickett grants pardon to
Jtrdan Turner, of Caswell county,
who was serving six years had been
put in with find record. A year for
a hohovinr would have left him
but another year. Governor Bickett
jhJnVa the onds of Justice have been
met the community wants him par
donedand it is ao order.
Flem Tuttle, of Stokes county, is
pardoned after service of two years
on a five-year sentence.
Dr. Register certifies from the state
prison that the prisoner has organic
heart trouble and Warden Busbee
,ova linn been unable to work in
lx months. Tuttle is now wholly in
capacitated for any labor. More than
200 of the best citizens recommended
the pardon.
The governor's pardons have mount
ed the half hundred mark but he has
escaped with perhaps the smallest
cmount of criticism that any governor
has received.
He has set free so many whose very
presence in prison for a long time
has shocked the conscience of the
State that people generally are dis
posed to trust his judgment Before
him now are two applications which
are . powerfully backed. They ar
Hayes of Winston-Salem and Wilcox
of Elisabeth City.
It Is admitted by friends of both
prisoners that they have thus far re
ceived little hope. Hayes who 5s on
parole of 30 days, is In Raleigh from
a Richmond hospital where he has
teen treated fofr cancer of the tongue.
The reappearance of something simi
lar to that part removed lends to the
fervor of those who wish to see him
discharged. He has been in prison
fore than two years and has 10 to
serve from beginning to end. Among
those Bald to be signatory to the ap
plication for pardon Is a brother of
Governor Bickett.
But WIlco'i friends are even more
hopeless than thosel supporting HTts.
RUTHLESS DESTRUCTION BY
THE GERMANS IN FRANCE
Never before In the history of the
world baa there been such a thorough
dfstructlon wrought by either a van
quished or victorious army, as that
which the Germans wrought In north
rn France, according to a report of
a 10 mile trip in that section, by Am
bassador Sharp made public at. the
State Department.
The statement given out at the de
partment follows:
"A telegram from the American
Ambassador at Paris, dated April 1,
r.tates that upon the Invitation of the
French government he visited on
MisTCh 31, many of the Fiench towns
recently retaken In the Invaded terri
tory. He found that the various re
ports circulated in France which have
uppeared in Amerio n newspapers, In
regard to the deplorable conditions,
not exaggerated.
"Throughout the reconquered terri
tory there reigns a scene of desolation
and this is not only true where Ger
man imilitary operations might pos
sibly excuse destruction In the blow
ing up of bridges, telegraph! lines,
and the blockadiig of highways by
leiling trees which protected the Ger
man retreat, but towns were totally
destroyed for no apparent military
leason. Private houses along the
country highway, including some of
the most beautiful chateaux of val
bo, were completely gutted by explo
sives systematically planted or by fire
"At the town of Ham the mother of
tlx children told me that her husband
end two daughters, one 18 and the
clher 15 years of age, hud been car
ried away by the Germans at the time
of the evacuation. Upon remonstra
ting she hid been told that she might
find their bodies in the canal in the
rear of her house. She stated that out
of the town's total population seve-u)
hundred people had been compelled
accompany the Germans, nearly halt
cf them were girls and women over 15
years of age.
"InsDected on my trip more than 100
miles in the Invaded terrltiory and
left with the convlcltlon that never
before in the history of the world had
there been such a thorough destruc
tion wrought by either a vanquished
or victorious army."
HALF MILLION HOTEL
PROJECT ABANDONED
The half million dollar project
launched several weeks ago for the
building of a imammoth tourist hotel
and the development of a wonderful
winter resort on the "Overhllls" prop
erty; including 40.000 acres, located
fourteen miles west cf Fiyetteville,
which was to have been financed by
B. N. Duke, milllona'ru tobacco mag
nate, of Durham and New York;
George W. Watts, multimillionaire, of
Durham, N. C; Walter II. Marshall
manager of. the Vanderbilt hotel, of
New York; former Sheriff James F
Jordan, of Greensboro; Congressman
William Kent of California and other
American business men has been
abandoned. '
DUKE-McCOLLUM
The home of Mr. and Mrs. T. I.
Duke never looked prettier or more
inviting than on Wednesday evening,
April the fourth, when their eldest
daughter, Mary Magdalene, became
the bride of Mr. Roy Edward McCol-
him
The hall arid parlor for the occas-
eion were tastefully decorated with
terns, brides roses and Jonquils.
At seven o'clock promptly the1 bride
end groom entered the parlor unat
tended where the ceremony was per
formed by Rev. Mr. Gerringer- Only
the immolate members of the family
were present
The bride wore a pretty coat suit
of military blue, with hat and gown
to match.
The groom wore black. Miss Duke
is an accomplished young lady and is
of charming personality. The groom
is a popular young man and is of fine
business qualities.
Mr. and Mrs. McCollum left imme
diately after the ceremony for the
home of the groom's father, Mr. D.
W. McCollum about four miles east
of Reidsvllle where they Will make
their home.
The young couple carry with thsni
many good wishes for a long, happy
and prosperous life.
The Blood is the Life
The1 blood is the life because it is
the nutritive fluid. If the blood be-,
comes very Impure, the bones, the
muscles and other parts of the body
are iimpairied and finally become dis
eased. Slighter variations in the qual
ity of the blood, such as are often
trought, about by breathing the bad
sir of unventilated rooms, have equally
sure though less plain ill effects on
the nervous system.
Persona that have any reason to be
lieve that their blood is not pure
should begin to take Hood's Sarsapai
rilla at once. This medicine has done
more than any other in cleansing, en
riching and vitalizing the blood end
giving strength and tone to all the or
gans an functions. ,
If you want to be entirely satisfied,
insist on having Hood's. Accept no
substitute.
