Tw El* lit Months . . . 81x Months Four Months ... ?.? l.W .74 , forc:tfn Advfrn?tng R?pre?entativc { TMK AM ERJC AN PRE?S ASSOC I A 1 ION Entered at the Post Office at Louls burg, N. C., as second class matter. Reports from all sections of the County show that thu crops are suf farliiir grranv from the dry weather. Tf the Soiii h African ran a fford te-eeH ; blq tobacco through Co-ope ration, why I !b It that the -Sorth Carolina tobacco j grower can't see the benefits also, It is reported from Washington that the Heuse Committee had agreed to repeal the luxury tax applying on fountain drinks, ice cream and wear ing apparel. This action when taken, will no doubt be very acceptable to many of our citizens. Secretary Hester of the New Orleans Pnttnn? Rgrhange gives out the infor mation that in August 19-0 a bale of" cottpn sold for $174.15 while in June 1921 It sold for 158.91. About the on ly thing except Sugar and Tobacco that has made such a big drop. Charlotte has withdrawn the invita tion to the Wild Cat Veterans Associa tion, who were to meet there in their second re-union In September, on ac ^nnnt nf ronrijtion8 and the impossibility to house them properly. We didn't know Charlotte ever back ed down. Reports from Washington state that the Willis-Campbell anti-Deer bill was passed by the Senate Monday by a vote of 39 and 20, and sent to Confer become law before the end of the week. But that won't effect us. The only beer we get is home-brew or Just be fore brewing, and it will take some thing besides law to stop either. A traveling man in the lobby of the hntoi Hftid to another thia-week. "This town is dead. It has no industry to keep it alive." Is farming an indus try? The farms of Franklin County produced 15,816 bales or cotton and 16.620.600 nounds of tobacco in 1928. The truth is farming is the biggest business in the country and the mar keting or selling of farm crops is the operative Mk^oeting ancr In* iw^T^eirs from today traveling ia?n can't say Louisburg is dead. Fresno. Cal . , isn't dead. They have Co-operative Market ing. j _R0ADS. With the Nashville road taken over by the State Highway Commission, not only for maintenance, but also for what construction it may_need? relieving the people of any further question on this particular road and the county of any further expense connected therewith it behooves the people of Franklin County, especially those wtio ardfen terested in the progress ot the C(Mnty to turn their attentions towards other roads and bring what further resour ces they have and can get together to the end of connecting up other through roads. There are two others at pres ent that. are badly in need or attention and these are the roads to Warrenton and Halifax. The road to Warrenton, so we understand, has already been agreed upon and the Trustees of San dy Creek township and several citi zens have adopted plans whereby work is expected to begin in the next few weeks, that will open this piece of road. I'frerefore the road that de mands the immediate attention of our) people is the Halifax road. This is j an exceedingly necessary connecting, link that will draw much through trav- ] el and be of great value to the State. I We understand that Gold Mine town- j ship will begin at once to build Its i road to the County line. It is to be hoped that Nash County will be wiling to return a kindness and build the short < stretch across her territory so that the I road will connect with trie roftd sys tem of Halifax county, saving an out-] let to the Northeastern portion of the1 State and routing that travel through Louisburg to the State rapttal . These two roads should be put in 1 good shape at once as tnere is strong probability that both will be taken ov- I er by the state In a short while. The Warrenton route depends upon the passage of a bill In Congress, which is expected at any time that will take over Uie road adopted by the State from Henderson to Raleigh by Frank linton. which would permft the State to take over the parallel route from Warrenton by 1x>ulsburg and Roles vllle to Raleigh . The Halifax road depends on tyo things, both of which are very strong and probable. The first is finding sufficient mileage in the district by straightening roads and other methods together with learning that the Commission has sufficient funds to take on new' mileage. The second, which we consider strongest. Is the fact that the 1>I1I an passed by the Legislature shows a discrimina tion between the Kast and West in favor of the latter ? this having been realised more fully since the adjourn ment ? and the General Assembly meets again la December. It Is only natur al that the counties that have been dis criminated against will raise a bowl *nd it !? possible that the Highway OMtolMlon will tT^ to relieve the cor ditlons rather than have the Leglsla ture revise the map . Lata get to work and put these roadi In shape and be raadj when the oppor Unity arises tor pass tham over to th< fl*ati - j*.-. / THE FARMERS TROUBLE. Once we beard of a story of au old maid *rho was so parlieurar that she would not driuk water at the table from the pitcher that others drank I from or u?e*it glass cletmec by anoth er >i .1 r y < 1 1 1 1 < I rl^n hf*r glass and pitch fer. nil them wltt walef and put them lather pUu^ meal a?vd after she would go out the servant would go in and take a dripk from her glass and refill it. This is almost repeated by the farmer with the tilling or his farm crops. He i? so partlWl&r about Cell ing his own products ajul not abridg ing his rights that he will not listen to his rea4* frtends who want to help him succeed in life", anG through this skepticism falls easy prey to the spec ulator and system of waste that keeps him the alarg he denies ng is through life. We know the farmer has beeu duped many times and is m a measure justified in soiae of bla superstitions, tun n)..i Unnw h- .lmiM h? Int.lll geut enough to I i? lea to argvtumu and reason and sct? irtto a proposition ? for I his good. It is also true that gener ally speaking there is a strong preju dice among farmers against the towns and business men, especially time mer chants and banks. Thia_ is entirely uncalled for afnr misplaced. _The towns and business men realize that the more money the farmer makes the more money they can make. The time merchant realizes that the more money the farmer makes the more he can sell him and collect for. The bankers know that the more the farm er makes the larger will be their de motive on the part or wustnesa men to assist the farmers on to a better day. You may consider it ?#lfl8h. if you wish And even though selfisn It may be. It should be appreciated because it will bring better conditions to the farmer^ Do you call it sacrificing your liber ty when you can change from a sys tem that you sell at whatever price the other fellow will give and buy at whatevei pi ice he will talq. fui a sys- ' tem that you can Bet your price bear ing a reasonable profit on your arti cle. Just as the fellow does from whom vou buy? Is it possible that your idea of liberty is to enslave yourself, your wife and children from year .end to year out, go half fed and half clothed, to make crops the world cannot do ? ?--? J O UUWIUg ?UI ? J\J Ul labor, not get enough money for It to pay your fertilizer and store account, that others may become millionaires. Is It possible that your Idea of liberty would require you to live a life of hard labor and half caret always being broke, and at the same time let the ather fellow who buys and handles your product, lire easy, well cared for ind always wjtb mqney, and to spare, his wife aad children 'free from flic :ares of drudgery of home and enjoy ing the lite ihat God gave item? Is j it possible that you think your liberty requires you t\ toil and labor the whole year throhgh while those who Kswlls your eretV ltli. nestloM -?t the seashore or thk mountains? We ion't believe there is as(armer In Frank lin County who entertains such an Idea. Then why shoulaiVi you tmve these liberties and sucdessefe as much io no tho follow, who. ponolbly. Dover touches- your product? Why should n't the farmers get togetner and han' lie their own crops and get this addi tional profits that they may enjoy mo dern conveniences in their homes and teke summer vacations. The biggest trouble we know Is there are so many farmers who are afraid that some one is trying to -put some thing over on him, trying to take what he has not away from him and in fact we some times wonder If they -go out ?n moonshiny nights for fear that \ their shadow will ask a token of them. The lack of confidence s<ftive farmers have in their fellow man is enough to make life a living hell for them: How they can get any comfort out of life is more than we can see. They surely can't expect the world to hand them a , living on a silver waiter. They have hoen waiting long enough for that, and like the fellow who started tr> the end of the rainbow for the bag of gold, are still waiting. Its time to wake up. The cows are in the corn. They will certainly not' stop eating: It because you will need it next year. You will | have to drive them out. A big effort by broad minded busi ness men and others Tias been made to help the farmerto help him?elf. These efforts have sought out the beat me thods known to the world and prepar ed thom to fit the needs of the South ern farmer and 1r now offering it to them. Because these men know that the farmer must succeed In order that e>erythlng else succeed. There was a time whefa business, apparently, thought that farmers had no business with money and that the community would be better off without successful farmers, but that timfe has passed and In its stead has developed the true Idea that the more successful the farmer the morfe successful the business man. It Is this idea that Is carrying the Co operative Marketing Associations to the farmers and not the Idea so gener al among the farmers tnat someone is trying to take everything they have. Farmers need these organizations. The world sees it. The government has recognized It by offering to loan them money. The State has rccog nlzed it by conducting investigations and putting the extension department behind 1t. Banks, lawyers, doctors, merchants, papers and business in general has recognized It by putting their time and effort towards fully In forming the fanner and advising him. Its up to the farmers. Put aside your prejudices and skepticisms and Join hands with your fellow farmer for bet ter conditions with the farmer and with business interests for a bigger snd better State.
