Tlio people interested in the
Louisburg tobacco market have
been exceedingly busy for the past
two or three weeks making their arrangements
and getting everything
in readiness to handle the tobauoo
for the farmers of this and adjoiningcounties,
whiob they olaim they are
gomg-to do if guarantees ot conven
ience, high prices and courteous and
fair treatment amount to anything
jUBith the farmer. t:
j-Sjw' S Agiong the buyers to he on the
Louisburg market this season will
'{r;, T. 1). Tyaok, for the American
Tobacco Company; C. B. Cheatham,
for the Imperial Tobacco Company;
8. J. Parham, who will buy on orders.
These three men are well
known to the people of Franklin and
adjoining counties and in this combination
the farmers should feel that
they will get the top ot the market
for their weed at all times.
There will be three warehouses
run in Louisburg this season, and
everything has been so arranged at
each one of them as to give to its
patrons ;he greatest possible amount
of convenience.
The Farmers Warehouse will be
run this season bv S. S. Meadows
and John N. Harris, Louisburg'a
> oldest warehousemen, whose conneo
tion with it means success. They
will have with them B. T. Bailey,
auctioneer, who haTmade for himself
quite a reputation as auctioneer;
Walter Farribow, of Hester, as
-bookkeeper; ti. C. Harris, assistant
bookkeeper and weigh mister; J.
Edgar Harris, floor and general manager.
Upon reflecting over this excellent
list of assistants it will be
seen that none of them are strangers
to the Louisburg market and
that you are fully acquainted with
each one of them. Thia combination
of experience should be sufficient
to satisty every farmer in the
country that they will be treated
right at Loniaburg. There eolicitorg
are William Williams, R. B. Harrig,
and Benjamin Veater.

the series of games between Lonis,
burg and Franklin^on came to an
. end, and the Louisburg team having
I played their season disbanded with
i the thanks and good will of the eni.
-tire town. The boys, everyone, deserve
special mention for their excelient
playing throughout the season.
Their condnct and behavior
while with us has been such as to'
^ ^commend them to the better people
oLour town and each of them may
j rest assured that a tender feeling
and the\best of wishes. goes with
them to their several schools for
' their future prosperity. And in conclusion
boys, let Us remind you that
for Louisburg and its citizens, the
latch-string hangs on the outside .and
the door is swinging on sjhrings.
The game played here last Thursl
day afternoon between Franklinton
, and Louisburg resulted in^a score of
I 11 to 5 in favor of the latter. This
> game proved co be a regular slug
^ing match and was called after the
i first half of the seventh ining, in order
that the visitors might catch the
, evening train for home. Biggerstaff
' and Woodell, a deaf and dumb bati
tery of Durham, played exoellent
ball for Louisburg, while Shore was
relieved by Benbow and McKeitban,
D., for Franklinton. Nine hits eaoh
, was made by both teams, while
\ Franklinton made five errors and
; Louisburg three. Umpire Earl Holt*

i In an errorless game of ball on
i the local diamond here Monday
'. franklinton defeated Louisburg in a
score of 1 to 0. This was the prettiest
and must interesting game of
ball played here this year and the
farge crowd who witnessed it thor
oughly enjoyed it. The boys on
both teams played excellent ball, and
nmeng the most notflfila p1?y?
the catch of Stewart for the visitors,
i in left field, and the work of Armstrong,
Tracy and Frvb for the home
1 team. iledgepeth had sufficiently
i recovered from his recent sickness,
to be on the mound for Louisburg
in this game aud the way in which
he twirled the ball showed that he
^ was "in the game." He allowed
i tour flits, struck out five men and
walked one man by hitting him with
~ the ball. McKeithan for the visitors,
was in good trim and did good-work,
i He allowed four hits, struck out four
men and walked two men on balls.
Armstrong played pix assists and two
pat outs without error. The score
, was made in the first inning by
, Prim who touched the first ball j
, thrown for two bases. He was ad- j
vanned to third by Stewart and |
scored on hit by J. Turner after Riddick
had popped out. Batteries:
Franklinton, McKeithan and Riddiok;
Louisburg, Iledgepelh and
Poole. Umpire Raleigh Daniels.
The game at Franklinton on Tnes
" day resulted in a score of 8 to 1 in
favor^pf Franklinton. Davis, for
, Louisburg, did good- work but was
not sufficient to "-djold down his opponents.
Shore, fdr Franklinton,
was in good trim and did good
work. There was not muoh interest

Judge Cooke and the School
11 Teachers.
A negro boy having been brought
for trial before Judge Charles M. ~ . ....
" Cooke, on the charge of attacking a.
school teacher ' with a knife, the
> court delivered a unique charge to
* the jury in which the following
' statement occuried: "You had as
well undertake to break a herd of
i bull yearlings with small twine in
- the place of rope, as to try to con
trol many hard-headed hoys in the
public schools,, white as well as nes
gro, without allowing the teacher to
9 use the lash." This clear and strong
t pronouncement by one having au
7 thorny \till check a tendency of ae. ?
rious evil to our school work and of
3 more serious injury to the boys who
^ take delight in tormenting the teach,,
er. It is folly to attempt to control
a boy without authority to make and
^ enforce rules of conduct. This
sugar stick theory that a boy can be
led by love is bosh. fcrovtr is all
0
? right in its plaoe, but in a pphho ? ? _
school the big stick must be behind
it. All the men of ohr acquaintance
were once boys, and they know to a 1
man that the way to manage a boy
is to compel his obedience to conati1
tuted authority. The sickly senti'
raent that has gained cun:en~y of late
' that no teacher should eyer adminis1
ter corporal punishmentJips wrecked
the discipline in many a school. We
' rejoice that so sane and wise a judge
> as Hon. C. M. Cooke has come out
0 Hat-footed for the protection of the
0 teacher in his arduous work of
' breaking a rude boy. .The work of
t the teacher is hard enough when
r the parent puolio sentiment and the .... v
law are all on his side; but to have
none of these eupports, 'and to be
' stripped of all authority to oentrol
f the school leaves the poor teaober i |
in a pitiable plight.?Charity and
