A COMBINATION of mean liquor
and a ride on the merry-go-round
will be a corker.
It looks like a town with an income
ot $20,000 a year had ought
lo be on "easy street." ?
Gen. B. Rktes, candidate for
President in Mexico, was stoned and
robbed by a mob ot moderestos on
Sunday.
Vow let our officials get hold of
the "blind tigers" and deal out effective
penalties and we will be ad
vanoing along good lines.
The Louisburg Echoes was in
error in stating that the county com.
oiissioners had allowed a salary of
1,000 to the Superintendent of
Health. The matter has not been
settled as yet
The United States Supreme Court
is to pass upon the treaty-making
power in a dispute over the right to
settle an estate left by an Italian.
It has been drawn to a question Of
State's rights.
The State loses one of the most
able Judges in the resignation of
Hon. J. Crawford Biggs. There are
already many applicants after the
appointment which will be made by
the Governor.
Since oar commissioners have
pnt a atop to selling various things
on Sunday, now let them consider
and act on other immoral practices
that have been running wide open
o, here for so long.
The sellini; of all articles on Sunday
except such as is necessary for
sickness should surely be prohibited,
and the action of the '-city fathers"
on last Friday night will be upheld
by the best citizens of our town.
Oub "city fathers" are to be congratulated
upon the action they took
in regard to selling different articles
on Sunday. It is to be hoped that
this is a starting point which will result
in the breaking up of the immorality
practiced in our town.
It n<fw begins to look as if the
matter of the Superintendent ot
Health of Wake county is settled,
as at a meeting of the Board of
Health of that county Tuesday Dr.
J. J. L. McCullers was elected and
his salary fixed. His salary is in the
shape of fees, which is no doubt the
proper plan.
Tiie taking of evidence in the
Beattie case was completed Tuesday
afternoon, when the court took a re*
, cess until yesterday morning at 1
which time the arguments by counBel
were begun. Beattie seems to
be satisfied that he will spend Sunday
at home a free man. There is
some doubt as to there being sufhc
ient evidence to send him to the
electric chiar, still he will hardly
be vindicated.
From what we can learn a new
modern court house can be built
in Franklin county, under a
bond issue, the taxes tor which
/ would not exceed two and one-half
, cents on the ' one hundred dollars
worth of property and seven and
, one-half cents on the polL If this
is really correct and the county
commissioners can do as well hy
this fund as they hare done by
the bridge fund in the past it will be
a paying investment for the pdblic.
For a Confederate MonumentFor
many years the Jos. J. Davis
l Chapter of the United JDaughters of
the Confederacy have labored with
Jf' that tender, loving, patient, untiring
v devotion that has characterized these
blessed women throughout the South*
land, to ereyta monument to the (Jor.#ee4.*p^y?i,b?rg;
and, while
(Vs.-'-'-tfc#5i<k has been crowned with
K jiilMjl&a thahr noble efforts haye
H5 not met with that support from the
county which the
T J?- "' . ' ' ' >.
>
?tmmifaa?i?
cause so richly merits. Still they hsve
raised in cash about the sum of #1000.00
and the county commissioners, vuul?{
an authority given them by the General
Assembly of North Carolina, at its
session of 1911, have subscribed the
sum of $1000.00, a generous contribution
which no citizen of the county
should criticise. The monument in
view will cost about the sum of $3000.00
and these ladies are longing for the
remainder with a longing which heeds
no rebuff and will never cease until it
is gratified?whatever these noble
women undertake they accomplish; but
what a fitting plan it would be for
every man, woman and child in Franklin
county, or who were raised in
Franklin, to contribute a small sum,
95c or less even would do, to make up
the sum now needed for this monument
?It would then be truly Franklin's
people's monument to their dead heroes.
It will be placed on the Court
Square where every visitor to Louisburg
for the coming years will see it
and get its lesson as the shaft points
upward to a higher life beyond for the
dead it commemoratesThis
same court square was the scene
a half century ago of another event iu
the history of the South. On-it on
Monday, March, the 18tb, 1861, Capt.
Orren R. Smith, a Franklin county
veteran who yet lives to tell the tale,
from a pole one hundred feet high
planted on the Court Square, flung, to
the breeze for the first time io the
South a Confederate flag of his- own
design, the materials for which hs purchased
in Louisburg and which was
made by a lady of Louisburg. Miss
Becky Murphy, who then lived in a
house near the present site of the Seaboard
Air Line depot. This flag bad
the three bars of red, white and blue
and seven stars for the seven Confederate
States. North Carolina bad not
then seceded but Capt Smith, in the
faith that she was homeward bound into
the Confederacy, placed above the
flag a long pennant, like those ships
wear when they are homeward bound,
in token of her destiuy. What a splendid
plan it would be to make the monument
to be erected a combination
memorial of the Confederate dead and
this historical event. If just a few of
the admirers of the Confederate cause
would contribute even a small sum individually
to this end what a grand
memor al could be raised on this sacred
spot. This whole South ought to
take an interest in this plan, and perhaps
may do so when attention is called
to the historical event. North Carolina
has ever been too modest and
reticent in making known its glorious I
histor ; but the time has come to de-1
clare it for the benefit of future genera-1
tions.
