It was to Mr. .Duncan that the gov eruor said that he is satisfied that fiervice of any part of the sentence was not needed for any reforming or deterring effect on Thomas and then asked Mr. Duncan as to any necessity for service of sentence as mainten ance of a healthy public sentiment niid policy. Mr. Duncan assured the governor tlTa nobody but Thomas and his family havo .suffered by the action of Thomas aud that the bunk was in better condition than ever and the people are unit in anxiety for lh pardon (or Thomas. He said there was no politics in the case, but that it was certain that Beaufort, normally democratic, had gone republican largely as resentment for official con duct of some in office that had brought about the banking troubles for Thom as as a big-hearted and possibly too easily influenced a cashier. E. H. Gorham, weil-known banker, pleaded for Thomas and explained to the gqvernor the complicated and co- related cogs in bank accounting that make possible and in a manner super induce trouble such as tiiai of Thomas, especially under the peculiar circum stances that controled this case in which there were complicated rela tions between Cashier Thomas, his father, Alonzo Thomas, as county treasurer, and other high officials of the county in settlement and main tenance of accounts and balances. He pleaded at length for the pardon. In summing up the situation Lary "Moore made some further explanation of the peculiar conditions that super induced the tangle into which Thomas was drawn and told the governor that Thomas, himself was in the city and would come to the executive offices for a conference if the governor de sired to talk with him. The hearing continued from 10 to nearly 2 o'clock and was characterized by recitals of fact and appeals for leniency that brought frequent tears to the eyes of participants and spectators. The in dications are that the pardon will bo granted. J. ED PEGRAU Attorny-t-Law omco First National Bnk Building I DR. . W.

C, May 4. In the pres once of the tearful wife of the con demned man a big delegation pi Cart tret county citizens, backed by a monster petition including nearly ninety per cent of the qualified voters of the section, pleaded with Governor Bickett for executive clemency to save Thomas -Thomas, of Beaufort, from convict stripes and the service of any part of the two year's sentence imposed by Judge Stacy last March for the embezzlement of $02,000 from the Bank of Beaufort, of which ho was cashier. An unusual condition was presented that constrained the governor, toward the close of the hearing to declare that he is satisfied that service of any" part of the sentence is not needed so far as its rectifying or deterring ef feet on Thomas, but that he was con sidering especially the question of ne cessity for the sentence to be put into effect as a public policy impressing the detainty of punishment in such cases. The iuipressoiu prevails that the pardon will-be granted, that the sentence will not become operative May 15, to which time a sixty-day respite was granted pending action as to pardon. Lary I. Moore, Col.. P. M. Pearsoll. J. H. Davis and Judge C. IT. Guion headed the delegation and others in eluded, L. C. Duncan, Raleigh, one of the directors of the bank; J. F. Dun can, W. M. Webb, Clerk of tho Court Wade, Mayor Seth Gibbs, of Beaufort; E. II. Gornam, and others. Every phase of this remarkable case was reviewed by the numerous speakers to show that Thomas was the. victim of circumstances and anything but an intentional criminal in the bank shortage that dovcloped through bookkeeping that involved the bank acounta and the 'county treasureship held for many years by the father of Mr. Thomas. A splendid manly career was shown for Thomas and re markable popularity and universal confidence in spite of the shortage, which, is being fully met by the family so that no one is to lose by the shortage except the family. E. C. Duncan, In a special state ment to the governor, said the bank officers were all especially , anxious for the pardon and that the bank has not suffered the least bit by the af fair. In fact, that deposits are now the largest in the history of the bank and that there is tfle highest confi dence in the bank and in Thomas SID LAY CHOCOLATES Special Today GET A Kodak Bank 29c a Pound for Gen uine 50c Quality.
