Owing to the small Docket and an exceedingly light Calendar, I am authorized to state that there will be no court here for the week commencing on the 17th day of October, 1910. This authority is obtained from a letter just received from Judge R. B. Peebles, in whioh he requests me to notify all jurors sum- j mooed for the first week that they need not attend, so that all the ju-| rors tor the first week of the court as stated above will take notice that they will not'be needed, and therefore need not come as jurors.

FRIDA put on before anywhere, is made to those business houses that are mentibned therein. There has never been anything ot this kind ever gotten up in Franklin county -before and it will readily be seen thai it will be the biggest thing for ' the county that -has ever been put before the people. The success of this iasue rests with the business men, as they will have to share the cost, so if you, as progressive business men, wish to assist in boosting the town, county and the interests of the business that are cairied on within their borders it is up to you t) see Mr W- A. WhelaD, who has charge of this work, at onoe. Remember that this mnnnt hs off muoh longer as it^s lime for it to be oat, and the printers must have time to get it up and print it. We don't want to see a single one of oar merchants lett out and for this rea son ask you to attend to this matter at onck. Remember also that this [ issue will be widely circulated and it is the best opportunity you have ever had of telling the people of the advantages of Louisburg and its business interests. Act today, tomorrow may be too late. The South. With a grain crop this year ag gregating 1,000,000,000 bushels or more, with a cotton crop which will bring into the South between $900,000,000 and $1,000,000,000* with a total value of agricultural products for thts year running between $2,750,000,000 and $3,000,000,000, the South will bave by far the largest income ever received by it from agriculture, assuring greater prosperity to the farmers of this section than they have had* in the past, and thos to aH business interests dependent upon agriculture. , As late as 1900 the total yalue of the Scuth's agricultural produots was $1,271,000,000. The output this year will be largely more than double that. Contrast the figures of i 1910 with the total of 1890, of $773,000,000, and we get a fair conception of the wonderful advance made by the agricultural interests ot this section in the last twenty years. , This year's oottoa crop Will exoeed by $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 the total value of all agricultural products of the South in 1890. This year's grain crop will exoeed the total value of all its agricultural products iu 1890. Omitting the value of the cotton clop this year, the total valne of other agricultural products will approximate $1,750,000,000, or some $500,000,000 more for diversified orope than the total agricultural output ot 1900, cotton ificluded. Possibly-the magnitude of this year's farm-product values in the South will be the better grasped from the simple statement that they will exceed by at least $200,000,000 the total value of all farm crops of the United States in 1890. Surely these are wonderful figures. They are only indicative, however, of the general advanoe of the South. | They give a reason for- much of its progress in city building and industrial aotivity. With each a foundation on which to build, with such increasing prosperity among the farmers, it is difficult to set any limit to tbe possibilities of the growth of the South during the next ten years. It has now solved the troublesome problems that confronted ite agricultural inj tereats ten years ago. It hat tenured the World's recognition of a profitable prioe for ootton. It has found a way to diveraify ka agriculture to suoh an extent that it ia no longer compelled to make cotton ite only money orop, but it oan tnrn its attention from cotton to other interests to equfttprottt. 4t is entering upon j ? period of increasing agricultural I prosperity, of expansion in all business interests, of rapidity of growth ot cities and ef a trend of population soathward ' such as if. nai never known in the past.?Manufacturers Record, Sept.

It seems that Mr. Cooley and hie friends are circulating the charges that Mr. Pou has been doing nothing while in Congress. To a man ol average intelligence each statements would be langhed at, however there are some who would take them seriously, and for the benefit of any "doubting Thomas," we are publishing a letter from Hon. John Sharp Williams in aDewer to a request tor snob information Mr. E. J. Halt, of Smithfield. The letter, which explains itself, is a= follows: "WXSHINOTO^, D. C. April, 13, 1908. Mr. E. J. Holt, Smithfield, N. fJ., Mr Dkab Sib: Tours of April 11th at hand. In it yon say: 'The oharge is being made against Mr. E. W. T? 1_ _ - - " jrou, wuo represents trie Fourth North Carolina District in Congress, are that he baa done nothing daring h's service." Exactly what the charge means, I do not know. It may be a great deal or nothing.' You add farther along; 'Now while I am Mr, Poo's countyman I would not feel like supporting him in oonvention if it is-tree that anting his seven years service in Congress he has lieen neg> lectful of his duties or has fsjletTto do Bis fall doty es a member of the Minority in the HpoeS? You appejl^ttime as Democratic Flogrteader for information. It is y~--+" - . ^ 'i . * Wtk', : i 28j?jSBBPi IMI > ! solely upon this ground tliat I reply. | I do uot want to be understood as interfering in Democratic contests in North Carolina, or elsewhere, but having summoned me as a witness I ' suppose that it is right that I should reply. The charge is absolutely uncalled for. Mr. Pou has done everything that a Democrat Minority member could do, be has been at his post ot duty far beyond the measure that most representatives consider necessary. He is, in faot, one of the men who hardly ever misses roll call, is always present when hie committees meet and it is in these Committees that most legislation is perfected? and has always worked in harness on the floor in acoord with Democratic programs. He has been just the oontrary of neglectful. In a certain sense it might be said of him, as it might be Said of me, or of any other Democratic member, that lie had aflnnmnliali^ ? ? ? ? vf* J lllUOj to wit: in the sense of defeating Republican partisan legislation, and in the sense of enacting Democratic partisan legislation. Evidently, from the manner in whioh you write, how, ever, you ate a man of too mnoh intelligence to expeot that either he or I or anybody else, or all the Democrats in Congress together, oould do that. But Mr. Pou has borne his full share of the burden and accomplished his full share of possible results, I am, with every expression of regard, Very truly yours, John Sharp Williams."

" Misses Emma Jones, Corrinne and Zelma Holmes attended the meeting at Pleasant Grove. Mrs. Ueorge Catlett, who has been right sick, is mush better. We are glad to know that we are soon to have a good road from Franklinton to Pocomoke, eyen if wo did have to "Bide onr time." Abraham Lincoln said "All honor to God's patient poor." Below is a little verse that ought to be engraven in letters ot gold and placed in every home, school-room, or office of any kind where peonle stay: "There is so ranch bad, in the best of us, And so much good in the worst of us, That it doth not become any of us, -h To find tault with the other of us." * DKUSS. * . ; GOOD ROADS. j^i' } The building of good roads has become a science, but many advances in good road construction oan be looked forward to in the near future. Evfery district is compelled to use the juaterial at hand or adjacent, but Vbe question of her to adapt it so as to produce the best roadway possible is the important thing to be studied and learned. No general rule for the construction of roads can be applied everywhere alike, the looal conditions being so different. Many states have Highway Boards x ' or a Road Commission, and it sheuhl b9 their duty to study the conditions and material at hand and inuti?,nt the local authorities what to use aad how to use it. Some states have taken great forward steps in road-building; of these Maryland is one of the moat notable, mainly because of the activity of Governor Crothers. He has nearly abolished the toll gates in Maryland, and through his efforts state bonds were voted and many miles of good roads have been constructed during the psst two years, and the good work is being continued. "If there is anything in the state ! ot Maryland that I dislike to see i^ is the toll gate," said Governor Crothers in speaking before an im- lprovement association recently. "The y money expended for good roads < benefits the residents of the cities as well as the people of the counties," and he advised his hearers to take an active interest in their,, improvement associations. "A citizen who never thinks of anything but bis business doeij.rrot do half of his daty," aafch-'tfiet Governor. "The people Should see that they get desired im- , provements, and this is where the work of the improvement aeeooutions comes iu. There is no more important work being done in the state than thgt of tmprayJng _ti\o V. roads." We hope to see oar people follow the exemple of Maryletld, and beoome aroused to further aotion for good roads, for they pay good interest on the mveetmknt. I
