FRANKLIN TIMES L F. JOHNSON. Editor and Manager on Tin, ... #1.00 " tlx MOUTHS, ... .66 1 Bass MOUTHS. . * ' . .'-US Friday. Ma; 24 1912 Quit* a larva crowd were here Mon day to attend the Convention. The trial Of the remainder of the Allen gang of Virginia is now going on. Everything pasted off quietly at the primary and Convention the put week. Among the latest from the Republi can national circles is that Teddy it in sane. ' . ' ' It seems that everybody was well pleased with the result of the Convea tiqn. . ? The jury in the Floyd Allen case found the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree. Pastok Kidhesort, the preacher who killed his sweetheart, was electrocuted at 12:17 a. m., Tuesday. ' Now that the Convention is over let everybody go to work and heap up a big majority for the successful candi dates. Mow that the Convention is pverjets hope the weather will subside enough that the toads leading - in an out ef Ixmisburg may be put in reasonably good repair. You would have expected everybody else to support your choice had he been nominated, now ctme across like a man and do unto others as yon would have them do unto you. t)N account of the Ctmueneement at the College we were urable to get the annual statements bound ready for dis tribution this week but will tend them out with our next issue. j Wb have been assured by some of the town commissioners that a more active interest it the town's affairs would be taken in the near future. Let us hope so. About the best start ing point would be to make public an annual statement. Therk is being right much said in regard to the sanitation of the connect ing sewerage in Louisburg. There is no question but that this should bt looked after and if any grounds be found for the complaint the necessary steps should be taken to have the cor rections made. Therb seems, to be an utter disre gard for the town law prohibiting bi cycle riding on the tide walks in Louitt burg by the many riders.- It seema that everybody who travels on bicyclet on Church street takes the sidewalks and we learn they art about as bad everywhere else. This it a practice that should be stopped as it is dan gerous. It seems to us that it is either the duty of the Clerk or the Superintendent of the water plant to refuse to allow two or more families to use water con nections through one tap and one metsr and pay only one price. Tlje editor has information of two instances at least wherrin the town is losing 42 20 per month through just this practice.lt isn't the amount of money that i? involved that hurts, but the precedent the au thorities are fcetting and the principle as compared with other customers who are fair enough to provide separate con nections, even though they do not use the minimum. Jhe practice is not right gentlemen and should not be allowed. No other town allows it. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION (Continued From Page One) L. Whitfield, of Franklinton, placed Mr. A. B.

National Committeeman. The mo tion carried by a rising vote amid much enthusiasm. Mr. G. R.

The 1 motion was adopted. j No other business coming before the j convention it adjourned to meet again i next Saturday, the 25th. j All of the nominating speeches and ? speeches seconding the nomination* j were fine, bat especially so were the , ooes m*ast life , in I'I'Me paying high tribute to j the man and congratulating the county upon being able togei. such a one to ! serve them: the one of Mr. G. L. Whit . field in nominating Mr. A. B. We?ter for the House of Representatives, a gem ; Wf" worth recording in any mind's li j btary; and the one of Mr. (i. R. King I in nominating Mr. T. S. Collie to sue ce?'l iiimaelf an County Commissioner. In the last Mr. King referred to tl.e . fact that ha was not asking it because i he .thought the party was in debt to him j as he did not believe the party owed | any man aaything, but upon the record he had laid up for the reference of any J who desired, showing his eternal fitness for the position, and especially empha sized the fact that instead of the office being inteaded to be trafficked around the wisest course for the people to pur sue was to "hold on to a good thing when they had an opportunity." In his remarks he referred to Senator Sim mons and his record when the delegates and spectators all joined hands in send ing up a loud and continuous applause. In all things before the convention harmony was always conspicuous re sulting in good feeling .and apparently perfect satislaction in every particular. Immediately after the adjournment of the conreation the .Executive Com mittee met aad re-elected Mr. i. R. Collie Chairman and Mr. J. A.
