Raleigh, June 15—Some may maintain that “there ain’t no such animal” when it comes to tender hearted or sympathetically included State officials, especially when it concerns the question of paroles. But in North Carolina things are done different, because things are different here.
Today T.K. Smith is at his little home in Anson county at the bedside of one of his sick children. Smith is serving a sentence of 10 years in State prison here for homicide, and has already completed about four years’ time. Yesterday he was informed that one of his children weas very ill and might not live. H. Hoyle Sink was advised of the facts of the case, and he was granted a parole until Thursday at 6 p.m. And today is back with his family, the first time in four years. No officer went with him, but he will be back at the prison Thursday afternoon.
Yes, it is different in North Carolina.
