Chair man Boddie promises the biggest oc casion ever held in Louisburg since rthe Centennial. The Board of Commissioners of for their action in regard to the High way road question on last Friday when they definitely decided to return the Nashville road as the highway. In tins actttra they not only did the right thing but by their decision eliminated a public hearing which, at best, would serve more to crystallze personal feel ings than to produce unity. For both reasons the Board Is to be congratu lated. i Now that the road question has been favorably and permanently settled we suggest to the advocates of good roads of Franklin County that we get to gether at once and perfect plans to put the road through to Halifax at once. After it is completed the opportunity may prefect? itself so that the State Highway Commission may also take lieve with the proper presentation of the question to the Nash County ? au thorities they will join in this through road and make it a success. Lets lay aside the differences and get to work mnro marla. The reports of an epidemic of "pel ?legra and of famine in the South U entirely unfounded and ts untrue so far as Franklin County ts concerned. It is true that the financial position of the Southern farmer is exceedingly embarrassing due Jo the fact that the manufacturers and" speculators have taken his products at prices way be low the cost of production ? taking ad vantage of the fact that the farmer is not organized and not in position to defend himself. At the same time the manufactured tobacco, of which our farmers make most, has not decreas ed. If the government would do some thing that would more equally distrlb ute the profits between the producer and the manufacturer, instead of con ducting so many worthless investiga tions, there would be many weary souls who would rlse^up and call it Blessed. I LF.T THE C HTRCH T.\ KF. STOCK. In another column we are publish ing an article on church going entitled "Why don't they come to church?" The j writer is trying to brin*jthe present 1 ccondltion of church going to the at - 1 tention of the public in such a way as. will improve the conditions. He is I trying to find out what is the cause of j sc? many staying away from the church I services that will place the churches I In position to meet the demands. Its I a big question and may er be fully I answered, but it should suggest to the I church and its governing body to take stock of the church, its closeness to God and its attitude towards Its menv bers. Human nature is so construct-] ed that It must realize an interest in anything In order to show the proper enthusiasm that it takes to make it succeed. Of course fine preaching Is a charm that will draw and attract, but It fails to make permanent Good preaching, therefore, is good to hare, but It Is not all. No preacher can j build a church with preaching alorte. I Neither can a church be built without preaching. Rut for a church to suc ceed In properly Interesting the con gregation, it like anything else, must respond to their sympathies and opin ions. These things can he accomplish ed without compromising the religious beliefs of any of our denominations, and can be encouraged a great d#al by placing the government of the In stitutions on a more tesponslve or democratic plan Another of the gr*?nt Influences against the church In the opinion of the outalde public. Is the ltzlty of the churches In the enforce ment of their rules and regulations irOTernln* the conduct or K? t .ember* The question of the acts of a church member Is not so much of whether It ti right or wrong as It Is whether he he took when becoming a mea&ber m obeying' the rules of the church. It may be * nw sconce pt ion of the mc^Blux of the rules but nevertheless sen rs to bre*fc the confidence T^ere irr members of the church who use their membership a^s convenience or for prestige and fail to impress their tel le wman in their every day business dealings, wtth Tfee conxietJouTfcaT his Sunday piousness has been of any real benefit. ltri?i't*fcufficttnt fe> say a j certain thing or act is ai^sotntely right J just "Seeauso you think ?.

Al though it adds greatly to a church good preaching no more makes a -church than does the plow the crop of corn, but adds materially ta it. Tba preecher can lead, suggest and plan the future, but unless the church takes such a commanding position that will merit the confidence of Its member? and the public In Its government, a ad Unless it can so respond to the mem bership that they may feel that they, ?re a part ami thai tJie mpuusf- 1 bilitv of success rests-to a certain ex- J tent upon themselTes there is little ! hope of the present condign* being - any better. The church must^ analyze ? its position *n& make a more. If the [ trouble is in rules it can't observe, it j wyuld be best to abolish those rules. * If in some other department make the! necessary correction. By making the corrections we don't mean to com pro- > mise its religious principles, but an- 1 less the member can so accord to the f rules, he should withdraw nntil h?t oould do so ?

Would k be of J benefit to the ^ farmer to organise*' These are* questions of great impor- ; tar^r e to the farmers of the South at ! this time and must be answered, di- 1 rtctly or indirectly by each individ- J ual. This time you can't call a >Clss , Meeting and take a rote anC decide the , question by the majority rote but \ each individual farmer sust decide ' for himself- The wbole world is toot- j ing towards organization 10 the extent j that the farming industry is about all | that is rot organized in r?r:e way or an ! other.
