THE FRANKLIN TIMES Jl, F. JOHNSON, Editor Ox Tear II. M Bl^kt Months 1.00 Six Month* 75 Ftu Months M t"* For?lsn Advertising Representative > THEA*tERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION | Entered at the Post Office at Louis knrg, N. C., as second claaa matter. The indications point to the present peace Conference as afailure anel may be preceeded by war.. The action of the old Board of Com misaioners in arranging for the ditch along the line of their jail property to be billed up and opening a street will add greatly to the value of the property. -Judge Daniels let ,W. T. Jones off with a severe lecture in Nashville Monday. It appeared that Jones had not wilfully violated the vCourts or der. In the lecture the Judge held that no member could allow a minor son sell any tobacco on the outside. THE OLD BOARD Monday noon marked the end of a two years term lor the Old Board of County Commissioners, who have la bored faithfully in their way for the interests of Franklin County as they saw it. Their's was not aB easy term, comings as it did in the reconstruction when it was not expected that any one could so manipulate public mat ters as to give satisfaction.. Not even the individual could accomplish this -with his own private affairs. It was a time of unrest that time alone could ease. But with all of their problems they have done well. Not without er rors as some see some things they did, but with the personal satisfaction of believing they had done the best they could. They have given well of their time, for which their greatest compensation was criticisin. THE SEW OFFICERS Franklin County's new officers took hold of its affairs on Monday and from the smoothness or the, move ments with which everytnjng contin ued to move there is ne VJoubt but that the county is still in g^od hands. The new Board, composed of Mes srs. Arthur Strickland, J. R. Jones. H. P. Speed. T. S. Dean and H. S, . k Pace are men of good Judgment, a high sense of honor and enjoy the respect and esteem of their entire communities. Their inumate know, ledge of the conditions of the farmer* and their business experience should make them especially fit. ? Mr. J. J. Young, the new Clerk of the Superior Court is a man of fine rualities. and a broad insight, lie is especially well qualified and w<r are sure he. will make an exceptional of ficial. Mr. W. H. Allen. Jr.. the new deputy clerk, is a most excellent young man welU fitted for the responsibilities Imposed upon him. Mr. Geo. W. Brown, the new Au ditor, is well kuown to our Deople. as a Courthouse necessity, he* having. I.ossibly the most extensive knowledge of all branches of the county govern ment of any one person in the coun jty. He will make a most efficient and accepable oflicial. Sheriff H. A. Kearney, is and Is not a new official. He has already prov en himself to be one of the best offic ials in the State and his re-election is sufficient endorsement for his abil ity. / With this personnel the people/ of the county should have no worry brer the public affairs ot the County * THE Kl" KLUX Since many of the big papers are discussing the Ku Klux <t might not be amiss for us to contribute a little space to the free advertising campaigu. voluntarily donated to this "worse than all" orders as the New" York World, the Charlotte Observer, the Greens boro News and even tne Raleigh Times would have you believe it is. It is our failing to be in sympathy with the "under dog" therefore, with such weight as enumerated above on top we can't help but follow our natural inclination. We are very much amaz ed to think that we have such a fcexri-v, ble monster among us as some would picture it and yet our government con tinues to function, our Courts continue to hold, and people can walk about in the day time, and even at night, with out being molested or strung up to trees. Assuming it is as Dr. John son, of Charity and Children, says in regard to there being so many good and brave men therein, which he dries not seem to doubt, that "they have been misled." Isn't it reasonable to suppose that if there is such good and brave men in the order and the order is as bad as it is pictured that these men would sever their membership? We believe they would. And we think these great dailies and the great er weeklies, believe they would do so too. ^ It is a mAtter of record that there is a case In North Carolina wherein a man employed men to impersonate the Ku Klux And do away with a wo man . It was -the real Ku Klux who got hold of this Information and ex posed it with the result that some one or ones are serving prison sentences. We have heard of several instances within this section of the State, where tbe Ku Klux have made vtaftatioput (or ilie purpose of makiug corf?cUeu^ but we have beard of no ease where any of them were robed. Comparing* tbia v/ith tb? Winston -Sale in iucttent it seems that it Is the impostor who disguises himself in tbe rooes of the Ku Klux to do his dirty worL while the real Ku Klux uses hit^ robe for I tirade or charitable purpose? onl?. We call to mind ao article we read in a magazine sometime ago, dlscuss iug the Ku Klux by a person claim ing to be q. Klansman. in which he pointed out the fact that the H !'?* ri s v man's oath of allegiance to the United^ States," his State and every branch of the government, was stronger and more binding, if possible, than that of a citizen when he qualifies to use his franchise. R is evident on the face of the criticidfcu that the authors of the ! many articles are entirely ignorant of tti^ real actions and purposes of the? subject of their wTath, which to our mind shows a greater weakness than the faults complained of~on the part of _Xhe one criticised. From the information we have been able to gather the present day Ku Klux is not a rcpitition of the old or der for the purpose of carrying on control that necessity at thai time forced upon them, but rs only com memorating a spirit that all who know anything about the times and condi tions of its existence admire and tis lifft. .

The True Meaning oi Christmas {Students Editorial ? by ElizabetR Long. 9th Grade.) Let us first of all ask ouraelves: "What is the true meaning of Christ mas?' Of course the answer will be that It is. a day set apart to celebrate the birth of Christ, a day on which we worship and honor the Savior of men, a day on which we, like the wise men of old. bring our gifts to the Christ Child. But? What does Christmas mean to you and to me? To maiiy of us it means a day of flashing, drinking and joy making. It is usually celebrated more like the fourth of July than the birthday of the Most High. People if this Is your idea of Christ mas you are far wrong. How can you and I help to make ChriBtmas more Christian? By being more Christllke and by not celebrating it merely as a day of feasting" or minis tering to our own wants and selfish ness. If we celebrate Christmas like we should, we will do it by helping the poor and needy and Ihus lay our white Gifts at the feet of the Master. Comins' A Japanese Operetta, lull of comedy.
