FRANKLIN TIMES A. F, JOHNSON, Editor ud Hinder .... ? ??*?**, - - *1.00 tiX MOUTHS, - M tit MOKTIIh. - - ? *. 18U. . It ia up to you Mr. Voter if you want ? change in town matter*. * TU remains of Morgan ware buried at Cedar Hill cemetery at Hartford, Conn., on Tuesday. A MieiTT good thing for tbe voters of a email town to do 1* to hare a limit" to the time a man can serve tbe town. klHiTTON has the prise for producing a hen with the largest record for laying eggs. They claim to hare one that has laid eleven eggs in one week. Anothsk week has passed and no ex port accountant has been employed by the town that tbe voters know of. It looks more like a repetition of the past. Thbbe ia a movement on foot to pre sent a petition to tbe Corporation Com* mieaion from the eitizens of Loaisburg asking that the Seaboard be required to give better service on this branch. Ws have been congratulated the past week bv one of the Board of Town Commissioners for the stand we have taken in regard to the town's matters. We are glad to know be is with us. Wondek it the Board of Town Com missioners would accept promises aa , much in settltment of pritate matters as they try to make the votefh take for public matters? We understand tbe train force on the Louisburg road is almost at tbe point of "giving up the job" on account of not being able to do the work now be ing forced upon them. A person who is exceedingly cioee I the present Board of Town Commis sioners said to us recently that "there is not a member on the Board that should be re-elected." This looks to us like it is nutting it pretty strong. A rumor is floating about to the ef fect that an effort will be made ta get postal telegraph connectiona at Loois borg. Thia will be quite an addition to the convenience of the people of tbe town. It is puzxling to us to see why tbe people will ait still and let the railro ids do them aa they please in a matter of service. They claim ^Jthe -Louisburg branch is tbe best pay(pg ten miles of road they have, then why should they not give better service. The entire town will think more of the next set of commissioners if they irill disregard the resolution passed about six years ago donating their ser vice to the town. The election of a board to succeed that one kills the ef fectiveness of the order and justly so. We were asked tbe other day "what ahall we do to rid ourselves of the pres ent condition of the town's AattersT's Our answer is to elect a set of men who will attend to tbe matters as they should be and stop this way of voting anything that is called' a ticket in the primary. Wi say again that we are especially friendly with every individual member of tbe Board of Town Commissioners and do not hesitate in saying that in private business their equals a- ? hard to find. Still wh?n it comes matters, and handled like affairs have been the past f> ir . ? ?.r* friends or no friends, to us they a.* en tirely in their own light, and are cer tainly dealing unfair with the pub'ic. It has been suggested that, in order to offset the combination ticket ar rangement that has existed heretofore, a mass meeting of the voters be held for the purnose of selecting a set of men to vote far in the coming primary. This we think is a splendid idea and every citiien of the town jught to at tend it. It ia certainly giving the pec- | pie a chanie to say who they Want. SmC* the primary, is an institution j the object of which i? to let U>e people exert thii privilege of selecting; who they wantons ticket we nee no earthly reason why any combination ticket should be allowed to be voted. A me thod of this kind cannot be fair. It is only a scheme to "hoodwink" the' voters. Every man baa a right to vote stor his ehoioe and should exercise it If the combination ticket- eaa be done away 'with there will be a ^iir difference in the town's administration. J Cst before the i?et elecetioo it war claimed the town had an outstanding indebtedness of about <10,000.00. since that time the town has or should have received near Mt, 000.00. Ff this period of ' time the evident expenses of .running the town's affairs has been leas than *30,000.00. ftill we ar? in formed the town now has an outstand ing indebtedness of above $10,000.00. It looks to ua it is time somebody was ex plaining somethiag. Can it b* possi b!e that those who have had the ad ministration of these affairs are so much aahaiqed of their rccord that they won't tell the voters about what ther have done?
