f'hkkk huhtkh. '*5 Fbidat. Oct. 8, 1^1 1. Adwibal Sohlev died suddenly tbe past week. R - t.. Was has been declared between Italy and Turkey. __________ The Austin flood scenes show an awful lot of damage. Ann the Scotland Neck Commonwealth has found - a "pokeberrv" bush. . . Ykstkuoay was ebow day at Franklinton and we learn a large 1 I .crowd were present. Town taxes have been reduced i ten cents on the one hundred dol- i lara worth of property. The powers in Europe are inter- ; fering in the Turko-Italian war with i a view to stopping the fighting. I The.North Carolina State Fair | starts on Monday, October 18th, see i ? advertisement in another column. j Pooit 'Thws and?the unmolested i ^ existence of immoislity is responsible tor a great many of the present day murders. i We acknowledge receipt of an : invitation to attend the Dedication of the Raleigh auditorium on Tuesday October 17 th. \VfE don't understand why, but it certainly seems strange to us tbat j the commissioners of Lcuisbnrg can't have regular meetings. The fact that so many murders are being committed is positive proof that there is something radi? caily wrong with our laws against murder. r The Franklin Times contest is creating much intef?st all over * ' the county. Don't get behind but get in the race now and win one of these valuable prizes. In the case of Policeman Champion shooting Bill Bailey at Henderson some time ago Urn court ' lined Bailey $25.00 an l placed biiu j under a $250 bond to keep the j peace. ___________ I There is too much truth in the! statement made to us by a friend the other day that ' the best people on earth live in Louisburg, but there seems to be. an utter disregard far law and order here." There is absolutelv no nuestion - ' ? i about the 1 imks Popularity Contest j going to be a success. With the interest already shown and the success the contestants are having its ^ success is assured. . J L-J-Nobkis was found guilty of ' the murder of J. B. Bissett, in the second degree-by the JuVv in Wake Superior court on Tuesday after a J J deliberation of twenty-eight hours. He was given twenty years. A tkaix carrying 109 represen ; tatives of Richmond's most progres- | sive business firms passed through this county on Monday. They topped over at Franklinton for ten minutes and did a little boosting in some fine speeches. The towns of Anstin and Costello Pennsylvania ware destroyed on Sstnrday by tbe dam belonging to the Bayleas Pulp and Paper Co., bursting. The reports show that possibly nine hundred or a thousand people lost their lives. fcj-i Sue Tiikbb is right much being said w shout Clark's and Taft's speeches hurting uhe reciprocity measure with Cnoada. It occurs to us that tbe . fact of its being eo closely affiliated with the it publican party was sufficient for Canada to defeat it. -'gr ' -=- _ . Six local fish dealers ware jacked tip in oobrt at Wilmington the past Ww>k cbOKSti with violating our boot* ami-trust law. The' officials I should make an example of these ] and should not atop at local dealers,1 either in flah or southing else, but pass around the same medicine to all. ' Ahoku the beat things that could happen to Louisburg and Franklin county would be the strict inf.iroement of the vagrancy law. There, is always some one walking around here without a visible means of support while at the same time the farmers and many others can't get help at any price. Wb take pleasure in announcing thot we have been informed that Louiaburg is to have a civic league. 1 The league will be organized next j week and will be composed mostly i 1 of ladies. Their aim is to look after: 1 having the town kept clean and to! ; see that the laws of both the'towul i and state are complied with. All * honor To the ladies. | | Etkby man, woman and child in | Franklin county and adjoining terri-1 ( tory are especially invited to call at j the Times office to be shown the j prizes offered in the contest. The | piano is at Candter-Crowell Co'a., j r tbe parlor suit ia at the Times of-1 5 lice, and the watches have not been * put on display yet but call and yon j thall see them. t ' ^ ' c We take the following from the c Newa-Obaerver, which looks good o to ns: North Carolina atili baa first s place among tbe eastern States in tbe production of gold Last year Q this State produced 3,2^1.68 fine j * ounces of gold valued at $1,-1 , tKi8,045-00. That was an increase j > over the previous year of 1,345 55 j r tine ounces valued at $27,815.00. j ? I'he yield "of 8 lver which came ffom 11 "efined gold and copper, was 9,053 j * ine ounces vaiueu st $4,888.00. ! r The ready wit of Attorney-Gen . [J ral T. W. Lickett created much j aughter in the Supreme court in; F Raleigh Tuesday in the case of a ' I'oman who was rt quired to leave joldsboro or serve eight months in ail, when, in commenting on the ? ioMtiou of ex Judge W. S. O'B' a Robinson be asked if Judge Robin- d ion meant to infer that a residence 5 if eight months in Wilson county e van equivalent to spenduig eight nonths in the Wayne county jail I r | G Everybody laughed. I T | o October 9th has b?en set aside ? >v Insurance Commissioner J. R t Young as fire prevention day. On ; a ihis day he suggests that the proper-! 1 ty owners personally examine their c [ reraisSs and see that all rubbish and r debris likely to cause a fire, is re j moved. Let them examicts their j chimneys, flues, pipes and furnaces, t and see that they are for the winter | J tires. I earnestly reques' the may-1 are of our cities and towns and the . chiefs of our fire departments and j their men, in fact business men and j good citizens, to spend one day at-| bast in the examination of our cities c and towns, learning their fire oondi j J tions and dangers, and having every j ] menanne and condition which will I t bring about a fire promptly rqin-,i ' ilied. i | The mayor is to be congratulated i ' upon the stand he-is taking to break t up the sale of aliiskey iu town and \ J the practice of robbery,'and the con- 1 stable* are also entitled to a portion | , of the honor. Now it is -up to, the i t grand jury to foree those who aw ear ' to a tale sufficient to convict a* person in a lower conrt to tell the same tale or take t 'era in for per- 1 jury. There has been entirely too j much of this practice around Louisburg. It seems next to impossible , to get one negro to swesr to facts , enough against another oegro to sesure f conviction, even though he ' is an eye witness t; the crime. Ir is '< high time our ooorts were forcing a remedy along thie line by making < the witness follow the facts told before or answer to perjurv.

Delaware Company Proposes Highway Bctwaon New York and Washington. That interest in tlie betterment cf "oads ls stowing steadily In the United States has been evidenced by the alnost slmultineous publication in th" lewspapers of tbc country of t'.vo terns of news which should briujr o the heart of automobillsts and users >f humbler means of conveyance. f vue was me annoancemenr or tne " oming Incorporation In Delaware of ' t company that proposes to build a m Teat boulevani pet ween New York 4 ind Washington.
