The Right Thing at Last.

Governor Glenn has written this let
ter to every solicitor:
so many requests for rewards are
being made, some of which do not
seem to be in perfect good faith, that
l deem it best to make rule that no
request TO: a reward will be granted
until it receives the endorsement OF
the solicitor of the district. l there
fore urge you, before endorshing an
application for reward, to look care
fully into the case and see whether
in your judgment proclamation should
be issued Sheriffs, deputies and con-
stables should be able to apprehend
any criminal in their own county, and
should see to it that if the person is a
fugitive in another county, capias be
issued to tlat county and the arrest be
! made. Also, if they can locate fugitives
in another State, they should ask the
authorities Of that State to apprehend
and hold the criminal until can make
requisition. 1t is getting too common,
for them to take things quietly and ask
for rewards, when, by diligent search
and inquiry, this cost to the State might
be avoided. Having confidence in you.

No Pardon to Blind Tiger.

The Governor declines to grant a
pardon to John Stevenson, who was
convicted of retailing whiskey without
license in Guilford county, in other
words operating a blind tiger. The
Governor has a very great dislike for
this particular crime and thinks it a
very low sort of business. He made
the comment that he believed more
convictions of crime resulted from
blind tigers than any other cause and
that a man convicted of operating
such place would have to bring very
strong petitions in order to secure a
parSon from him. His view, that the
illicit sale of whiskey is the ground
work of most of the crime in the
State is held by not few observant
people. Great efforts were made to get
Stevenson pardoned. His wife came
here and made a p!tiful plea to the
Governor. The latter says he does
not want to be hard-hearted, but that
his belief is too many pardons are
granted.
