The State board of pardons has declined to recommend the pardon of Charles Zissett, convicted in this county several years ago of murder, and it is not likely that the governor will pardon him. We congratulate the board on its action. From the testimony in this case, Zissett deserved to hang, and it is nothing but right that he should serve his sentence. It will be remembered that the jury found him guilty of murder ; and he was sentenced to be hung, 1 but Governor Ellerbe commuted the ; sentence to life imprisonment. ft In another column W. A.
