GOVERNOR pARDoNs srANCILL.
superintendent of Convict Camp Who Killed q
Convict

William B. Stancill, convicted at the
fall term of CASTOR county court, 1900,
of manslaughter has been pardoned by
Governor Aycock. Stancill was SEN
fenced for four months in prison and
sixty days on the roads of Castor
county, but an appeal was taken and
he was put under a heavy bond The
Supreme court decided against Stancill
and at once petitions were prepared
and signed by the best citizens of Neck
lenburg by Judge Shaw, who presided
at the court and by Solicitor J. l.. Webb,
asking a pardon for him. This the
Governor granted.
Mr. Stancill is well-known and
highly esteemed citizen of MeckIen
burg. He was superintendent of one
of the convict camps near Charlotte
from which negro convict, Frank Roz-
zell escaped, getting over the line into
CASTOR county. Stancill pursued him
and shot to scare, but struck the fee
ing convict, killing him. He thought
that he was an officer having a right to
fire at an escaping convict. Judge
Shaw, who sentenced him, in his letter
to the Governor says that he believed
Stancill believed he had right to do
what he had done" The Governor
judged from the petitions and recon-
mendations that Stancill should not be
punished and pardoned him.

NO BOOK REPORT YET.
But Decision is Reached by the State Com
mission.

A decision has been reached.
1t was not given out last night.
1t will be made public on Monday, pro-
badly, or perhaps not till Tuesday.
The above is the situation in the mat
ter of the adoption of text books for the
schools by the State Text Book Commits
sion, and is the sum and substance OF the
information given by Governor Aycock
few minutes after eleven o'clock Satur-
day night while the Commission was still
in session The determination to with
hold the report till Monday, or later, was
made in order to put the report in writ
ing. 1t is understood that decision has
been reached on all material points, and
that but a few minor matters yet remain
to be arranged.
1t is evident that the report is to be a
lengthy one, judging from the statement
that the preparation of 1t may run over
Monday. If this is so, then it is reason
able to suppose that the Commissioners
will not alone give the list of books ano
the price, but will also give the reasons
leading to the selection that have beer
made.

of the same amount and Governor Ay-
cock heartily commends the work which
is to be done, believing it will result in
