The cry of a mother's heart, the heart that is al ways constant, is the only voice raised against a pardon for James Wilcox, cDavicted murderer of Nell Cropsey at Eliz-ibel-h City, but that mothers cry is allied with justice and Wilcox will not be pardoned, according to a derision reached by Governor Craig today. In explanation of his refusal to issue a pardon for -this man, con victed of one of the most tragic crimes that ever shocked the .state, the governor has issued an eight page statemsat, reviewing in detail the circumstances of the association of Wilcox and Nell Cropsey as lov ers, the lively and attractive per sonality of the ill-fated girl and the events of the fatal evening at the Cropsey home.

Well, my dear old Gentleman, if you are ninety eight you were bora in 1817. You were born in what is now Jackson, then Haywood. You were eleven years old when Macon county was erected. You have lived through a period which has witnessed the organization ot six mountain counties west of the Bal sam, namely, Macon, Cherokee Jackson, Swain, Clay, and Graham. You were, doubtless, at the or ganization of Jackson in 1851. From what your daddy told you, J The representatives of Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, Mpssrs.

GOVERNOR CRAIG'S VIEWS. The governor says Jamoag other things: "To release tha defendant would, in my opinion, tend to les sen the confidence in our courts to do justice and would not be in ac cordance with the well considered judgement of this state as express ed by statute and judicial precedect. "Wilcox has been dealt sternly with, but not inconsiderately. Me has been defended by the ablest and most skillful lawyers. He has been tried before just andimpartia judges, with every advantage in selection.of a jury. Two juries have pronounced him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
