Fbibat. July Hth, 1918.
Col. A. D. Watts has taken hia oath
of office and is sow Internal Revenue
Collector of the Western District pf
North Carolina. - ? ,
Judge Cooke's charge to the grand
jury ia Wake county is receiving much
commendation. There is no doubt but
that ha ia right in going after the man
higher up. __ ,
. WigsiMTW society was given quite
;? shock on Monday when a negro at
tempted an assault upon Mrs. May
Jorgeneen, sister-in-law of Senator
Miles Pbindexter.
A. NXttRO who had assaulted a 16-year
old white girl at Bonifay, Fla., was ta
fan from a train while officers had been
en route to Penaacota for safe keeping,
fey 4 nob and lynched.
Tbb reason whv law is not enforced
is not always doe to the lack of a desire
en the part of the officer, bat mast gen
erally an account of public sentiment
being in sympathy with the violation*.
Associated Press reports say Bryan
was President^ the United States on
ftaeday in the abeenee of the President,
Vice-President and all the Cabinet. He
is thoroughly capable, both in size and
efficiency, to fill the place.
Eveby citizen in Louisburg should
congratulate the officials who put a
stop to the indecent exposure that was
evident on the streets in Louisburg on
Thursday evening of last week. Such
practices can't help but be demoraliz
ing in every sense and we are glad to
know our officials are men who places
thAir stamp of disapproval upon such
things in their official capacity.
Chief of Police Tucker informs us he
with assistant officers, made a search
of all suspicions bouses on Saturday
morning for booze, but failed to find
any. Conditions begin to look a little
better for Louisburg. Now if the courts
will deal with thoee who have been
caught in no unmistakable way, we can
tasily handle the situation.

Town Clerk A. W. Alston itilorms us
that be will increase the tax valuation
of the property of the town this year
between $75,000 and <100,000. This in
crease in valuation comes mostly from
under valuations of personal property
and errors and failures to list real <
tate. --Jt is estimated, with the corpor
ation, valuation the same as last year,
that the tax valuation of property in
Louiilttrg this year will be about II.
026,000.00 against *962,414.00 last year. |
Commissioner G. W. Ford, during a
conversation wherein the costs ol coal
and shavings were being discussed as
applied to the electric light and water
plant, says he yrill not only save the
town money by using coal, bat will
give the people all night lights and
save the entire salary of the Clerk.
That ts for the same money the town is
now pwing foi coal to run the plant
one-half the night, be will buy the
shavings, run the plant all night and
pay the salary of the clerk. This is a
proposition entitled to the consideration
of our people and although it would be
in violation of law we believe an order
allowing same would be isjued by the
court of proper authority for such ac
Conductor's Excursion.

On the morning of May 28, 1913, the
death angel visited the home of Mr.
and Mis. John S. Harper and carried
the pare spirit of their little son. Tom
mie. to the mansions above, lea Tine the
mil body So rest beneath the sod.
For two weeks he lay on a bed of
suffering, but through it all was patient
and obedient, never refusing to take
the medicine administered by loving
bands for his relief.
Tommie wss kind and good to his
brothers snd sisters, and always willing
to do anything he could to please
father ot mother.
Although only ten years of age he
loved the Sunday-school and was a reg
ular attendant, remembering well the
lessons he learned, and, we believe, en
deavored to put them into practice.
The afternoon preceding his death his
sister Minnie, herself s constant suf
ferer, sat by his bedside and read to
him the lesson for the following Sab
| bath, to which he listened attentively
I and spoke of those learned before.
| All that loving hearts aud han'Js
| could do was done for his relief, but
"he ?was not for God took him."
| May his beautiful life, though short,
| be an incentive to all who knew him,
I and especially those who were daily
I with him in the home, to follow Jesus
until their journey, too, shall end in
I the "house not made with hands, eter
nal in the heavens," and may they
have less of dread at thought of death
and more of joy in anticipation of
heaven because be is there, for Jesus
said, "Suffer the little children, and
forbid them not to come unto me, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven,"
