The statement promised (he citl Town Commissioners several months a*o has not made Its appearance yet. The Union WarehouseCompany, of Henderson, has tendered its warehouse to the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Marketing Associations. Let others follow. ETery farmer In Franklin County who signed the Cotton or Tobacco Growers Cooperative Marketing con tract should come to Loutsburg Mon day and vote for seven?delegates to the District Convention or each Asso ciation, which will elect the Directors to controll the Associations for the coming twalve months. Many complaints are being heard about the lack of attention given to unimproved roads in Frank'.ln county. There are many places, no doubt, where the road system was not com pleted and certain sections ot a town ship were left unbuilt and these roads receive no attention In maintenance. People on these roads pay tne road tax the seme a ?-others, and should be giv en some consideration. Where there are complaints there Is likelv to be acme cause. An Investigation by the proper authorities would clear up the situation, either by having the roads maintained or exonorate the Trustees. In another column we are publish ing the law requiring "lae Township Road Trustees to publish a statement of their receipts and disbursements these requirements have-not been met Is the fact that the members ot the ~~ Boarda did not kjinu- 'hey~grere re quired to do so by law or were liable to be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. To i show their sincerity of purpose they should now prepare and publish a statement showing these?f*?s ?tee* istltutloa ?<?their fepaaUva Boards, and if they refuse to do so the Solicitor and Grand Jury should re oulro them to answer to the the charge they have brought upon themselves. This publication should be ffl a news at least put In shape so that a ta-r payer can take It home with him and ?with some body like the Commission ers Is better than none Is true, hut It does not serve to satisfy the tax pay' ers, nor does It comply with the splr It of the law. CONVICTS BEKEMBEBED WITH CHRISTMAS IUg^'EB T. F. Cates, foreman of the convict forces which paved the Durbam-Chap el Hill boulevard, was Sunday host to bis men at the camp situated several miles from the city with a special Christmas dinner. The dinner con sisted of barbecued pigs, cake, coffee, biscuits and other things. The meal was cooked by the camp's cooks and was highly enjoyed by the men. The state remembered every man of the 53 negro convicts in the camp with a big bag of candy, apples, oranges, raisins and chewing tobacco. The ] state furnished the money ^or the gifts j ? but the supply was purchased by Mr. Cates. Testaments were also given u to every man, as were cards sent to \ them by George R. Pou, superintend \?nt of the state penitentiary from TjrMch the convicts were taken for *prk on the roads, wishing them a m\rry Christmas and a happy new T?*, as merry and happy as these day\ can be under your present clr cmnuices.

For several months the School Column wilt appear In the Franklin Time? week. 2. The following is taken from the North Carolina Rural LJle: "Rural education, rural schools and rural community life have suffered In the pa#t because farmers have been paying more attention to the production of ^rops and animals rather t nan of bet ter boys and girls, and better men and women." 1 "Z. The futluwing is sent from the Bunn High School: "The pupils .of In connection with the next com munity meeting. Friday night, Janu ary the 13th, at 7 o'clock. This is an added attraction to the usual good picture program and the public is cor dially Invited to be present." ? i 4. The following is~~taken from the Journal of Education published in Boston by Dr. A. E. Winship one of the foremost educators in America. The article is entitled, THE NEW I "Now that North Carolina is lead ing the other forty-seven states by passing heroic education laws by ii nnanlmnns legislative Tote and In making a record In increased consol idatlon and in increased appropria tion for school'building in ruarl com munities it is well to look back and see how it all came about. Dr. E. C. Brooks !s nnquesfinnahly the man of the hour. No state official combines more of the qualities which make a noble leader *n emergencies than does Mr. Brooks. ?He?has a boundless vision, has full appreciation of all the experiences through which the state has come, has the confidence and proud esteem of all the people, thinks clearly and states the present [ needs convincingly. But he haa entered into a great in heritance. Thirty years ago. more or less, North Carolina had an unpar alleled group of consecrated cam paigners. No state has matched the group of brilliant and devoted men ! and without price, persistently cam paigned from the mountains to the' sea In the lnTiTdt of better schools, j In this band were Dr. Charles Dun-1 can Mclver, a native of North Carolina a Scotch Presbyterian and State In stitute conductor in 1889-1&92. Edwin A. Alderman, now famous as presl-j dent of itef nivefslly of Virginia, was | assistant state superintendent those same years. 1889-1892; Philander P. Claxton, whom Stanley Hall had res cued from a contemplated career as a mining engineer and had breathed into him the noblest of professional education zeal, became superintendent of city schools successively in Kin Jovner. who In those years was coun ty superintendent. For several years these noble men were sowing seed the harvest of which North Carolina is now reaping. The first great achievement of these noble men was the political and pro fessional creation of Governor Charles B. Aycock, who still remains In mem- j ory the great educational governor of | the United States. The state was desperately poor and the older people had not forgotten: their war experiences and there was relatively little to show for the ar dent devotion of Mclver, Alderman, Claxton and Joyner. Alderman and Claxton left the state, Mclver died and Joyner alone remained to keep the watch fires burning. The fabulous price of cotton and tobacco for a few years has transform- j ed the finances of North Carolina, and the boyB and girls who were charmed j and inspired by Mclver, Alderman,' Claxton and Joyner in tfrgjr school \ days are now leaders in ^Riblic af- I fairs. Among the boys -who were in- | spired by those rare campaigners was a lad. Eugene Clyde Brooks, a country: youth in Greene county, a county that has never had 2,000 voters and whose county seat haa never ?afl 560 popu-| lation. Today this same i?ugene Clyde Brooks, from the farm l?fe of North , Carolina, when the state was In pov erty, is the triumphant leader in har- | vesting famous educational activities i culminating in a State Association In i November, 1921, of- 9,000 members. His are the highly important education j laws passed by the legislature with-' out a dissenting vote. Other men la-' bored from 1885 to 1900 and the state superintendent of 1921 is entering in to their labors. Aycock and Brooks are among the best fruits of the la bors df Mclver, Alderman, Claxton and Joyner."

God. this New i Year's Day!" I The following clipping was taken from one of the State's daily papers; "Louisburg, Dec. 29th. ?Franklin County Home Demonstration Clubs -Bring Christmas Cheer to Shut-ins. All over Franklin County on Mon day and Tuesday, Home Demonstra tion wximfln and girls carried Christ mas remembrances to the sick, to the old and to the needy in their midst. A month before Christmas, lists of all to be remembered were taken, plans made Lb bring "happiness to these ana commUtoos appoiaied--to carry?(hh the plans made. In some communis ties committees carried tae gifts; in others, club women selected persons or families to -visit. In this way more than two hundred people were rimembered by the Women's Clubs. In several places, the girls" clubs ser enacted the shut-ins, singing Christ mas carols and old familiar airs. This has been the custom in this coun ty fm 'lig iiaai ihmu >imi? aim.? Mlm Pauline Smith, Home Demonstration Agent, has been supervisor of the ru ral women's clubs. Thus the women FraaiUin County earrrM "Prnco or Earth, Good Will Toward Men" to those less fortunate than mey." According to the last census report there are about 30 bins to the farm in theSouth, and the average egg pro Outllun is 54 eggs each. Accordins to this the average hen works only about half the year. Putting the hens to work would solve a problem of get ting ready1 cash for the housewife. If we could bring the egg record up from 54 to 70. the national average, and If I we shontd keep the same 30 hens per farm, the increased egg production would add $19.20 to the annual farm i worn e.?mm but enough to count. _ The Stare Extensftzf Departments advocate from 30 to 100 hens on each farm, depending on the circumstan ces. We believe that 50 hens is best forthe average one horse farm. Of course?there-are-many smatl ftmrra that should have 100 or more. But starting with 50 and bringing the re cuid of egg production up UJ 70 BtUir ptr year, we would increase the an nual income by 1105.00. Perhaps in no other single farm activity can such an increase be made in so short a tlmq nnil at niirh small nciai __ question of this sort brings up the question of marketing. If we supplied the home market, we could then look for a foreign market. We do not supply the home market, how ever. as more than six thousand el?ht hundred DOZEN eggs have been ship ped into Louisburg Bince the first of last September, and we are snra they hare been shipped Into the other portion. The money for these went out of the county when it should hare been kept in the county. The home market should be supplied and then markets out of the county sought. We can always sell to the Plnenurst peo ple. in any quantity if the eggs are graded. To get the best price eggs n.ust be graded and candled. Grad ing should begin on the farm, flrBt by tlie adoption of breeds for wnole com munities that will produce the larger eggs of the color demanded by the market to which they will be shipped and then by gathering them in the right manner and marketing them v hile they are fresh, cooperatively, of course. This was tried in a small way by the Popes Club last year. The women could not begin to fill the or ders they received. The solution for them and for the other housewives who would like to add to the farm in come is to raise more poultry and better poultry. Now Is the time to begin this. Eggs set during the last of January, February and the first of March will hatch the puilets that you v.ish in your poultry yard. We have in this county some well trained poul try men who will help us with our problems; we can also get the poul try experts from the State Extension Department to help us wage a war against the worthless flocks some of Ids have. Which community will be I the- first to put on this campaign ? Clothing schools have been held re cently at Bunn and at Seven Paths. Dress form? were made at each place. These forms enable women to fit their own dresses. The cost of a home made form Is $1.16 while a commer cial one costs from $7.00 up. Talks were made on color, lines and design. Types of women were taken as mod els and various colors tried to find the mom Decoming colors (or the partlcu- ' lar type. Several dreaaes were shown to Illustrate lines (or the stoat woman and (or the thin woman. A talk on the well dressed girl, in which a plea was made for the girlish girl, dress ed more simply was of interest to the girls. Demonstrations in covering a winter hat and making flowers were given at Bunn. At Seven Paths, quite a number of old hats and dresses |were remodeled.
