COI.LF.GE N'lTFS W0JIAV8 CLUB PWJSOT8 PETI TION TO TO WW COKJUSHIOJTEBS Friday morning at a call meeting of the Loulsburg Woman's Club the Committee on Sanitation presented (or the approral of tie club' a petition which they wish to present to the town commissioners aS~ follows : "The Committee on Sanitation from the Woman's Club of Loulsburg makes the following petition; 1st. That steps shall be tqken to place all hog-p?ns which Bhall be al lowed within the corporate limits of the town 400 feet from any bed-room window ofc-any person in the town. 2nd. TEat a schedule shall be made and published for' removing trash from the different sections of the tftwn once a week or oftener, so that The citizens may know when to expect the wagon and be prepared. 3rd. That the merchants shall be aBked to see that the trash from their stores shall be put in the garbage cans and not on the street, and that the sidewalks, be cleaned so as to be pre sentable for the Sabbath.' This petition was endorsed by the club, and in the discussion It was al so voted to add to the first clause that all owners of cows should see that these should not be close enough or al lowed to get in Buch condition as to be offensive to -their neighbors. Through lnadvertance of the copyist tbls clause ?vvas not added; but it is a very rea sonable request and it is hoped that all cow owners will comply with it, even though it is not bn the Statues ffxeept under the general head of any nuisance detrimental to the health of the town. In addition to the petition of the] Committee on Sanitation another was also drawn up as follows: , "Believing the pool room to be a ' menace to the morals not only of the j youth of our town, but even of the 'young men from the country arou'nd, t we, the members of the LouishmgJVo. ers to deny the request to renew the ' pool room license when the present li cense expires." | A committee consisting of the chair man of each of the standing commit | tees of the (ilub was appointed to pre ' sent the petition to the Commission ers. j The petitions were duly presented ,to a full meeting of the board. The | first section of the first petition was ; enacted as an ordinance. ! In reply to the second sectiop, Mr. jWlieless, chairman of the street clean jihg committee stated that all trash I put in suitable receptacles, such as I boxes or barrels and put on the street Iwottld be removed every day (except J of course on Sunday) and that he | would be glad to be notified of any I failure to remove such trash within j twenty-four hours, or less, from the time it was put there. The third section was put in charge of the proper committee of the Coin, , missioners. In regard to the petition to close the pool room Mayor Joyner stated that the petition preferred no charges against the pool room and that it was only fair and just thpt we should give cur reasons for such a request and ? that both sides of the question be heard. |The women then stated thai the objec . tlons to the pool room arc first -that Ihe young boys, who ought to be at home studying thoir lesson loaf around ? the pool room either playing or watch' I ing the others ; second that the betting Ion the games Is objectionable, teach jing the boys bad habits and leading ,tc worse. . Mr. Malone stated that he doubted I the wisdom of closing the pool room | unless there, were something better tS put In Its plaoe, and that If the ob jectionable features could be elimina ted It could be more of a help than a (hindrance to the town. As to ?he first objection there Is already an or dinance to the effect that "The keeper or owner of any pool room, billiard room or bowling alley shall not allow any minor to enter or remain In such pool room, billiard room or bowling alley If such keeper or owner has been notified In writing by the parent or guardian of such minor not t6 al low said minor to enter or remain In ai/ch pool room, bowling alley Or bll llarrf room." As to the second objection, Mr. Tucker, the owner of the pool room who was present, stated that he would guarantee to see that the patrons of the pool room were not allowed to bet on the games In the pool room. The next day we were Informed that the Stai'Pool, Keeley balls, and other paraphernalia of the games In which It la usable to play for stakes had been destroyed and large placards posted! positively forbidding any betting on the grftnes. Also wo have been In formed that several other parties had been noticed that some of the games of chance which they had In other es tablishments were Illegal and must be discontinued. Therefore, although the petition was not granted to the letter It was oar rled out In the spirit In which It was asked; and we feel that the existence of the Woman's Olob Is fully Justified. Some outsider has Dick-named It the "Lady Ku KluX.V - We Intend to stand for the tame principles for #hlch the K. K.

LEOPARD SPEAKS To Big Crowd to Comrt Hoow ? IbJj-o dored by President J. A. MHchln^r. "The meeting of cotton and tobacco growers of Franklin county was call ed to order Saturday afternoon ac cording to call by President J. A. Mltchiner, who In strong and fitting remarks Introduced the speaker, Mr. B. T. Leopard, of Washington, N. C. to the five hundred or more Interested growers present. Mr. Leopard began his speech by ail explanation of how ana why the main headquarters, was divided Into departments and the working of each department, showing that a portion of the field department had not begun to function as it should because of the Inability to properly Impress upon the farmers the Importance of the local meetings in each school community. The Importance of these meetings is readily seen when It is understood that ninety per cent of all errors could i be eliminated by the growers them selves in these meetings. For in stance the addresses of all members could be kept correct and any little friction regarding delivery or mort gages could be Immediately straight ened out. Leaving this theme he pic tured the benefits the Associations hid been to all growers whether members or not, but more especially the mem bers. Mr. Leopard then discussed the { importance of being good seed and of i a good variety and using the proper ! fertilizer saying that as we would have to* deal with the boll weevil we would have to make many changes In ?>ur present methods of farming. He stated that cotton could be profitably grown under 'bdTT~weevil conditions. He sai<l the secret of success under \ these conditions was beating the Boll weevil to it. He saltl the farmer who used modern methods and made an early crop could gather it himself, but the one who sticks to the old method, plants late and makes a late crop will not have the trouble of gathering it. as the boll weevil will have already gotten- i^ ytr. Leopard gave as a good fertili zer formula for boll weevil conditions a mixture of 10-4-3 or on the basis of 600 pounds to the acre* a mixture of 375 pounds of 16 per cent acid, 133 pounds of/Nitrate of Soda and 37 pounds of Muriate" of Potash. His atflress was greatly enjoyed and contained quite a lot of valuable in formation for all those interested in I the marketing associations. (APT. PHIL ALSTON, SR. SEKIOCS- , LY ILL The many friends of the family will i learn with regret of the serious illness I of Capt. P. G. Alston, Sr., more fa- | miliarly knowr^as "Big Phil", who is in a hospital suffering fropa a throat trouble. He has many relatives in this and Warren counties where he was raised and lived until about 1892.

P. G. Alston, Jr. j or "Little "Phil* -of Loulsburg and a| Mr. B. P. Robertson of Warren coun_ I ty.

The second company was composed of one hundred and four and we understand only about three of these are still living.

Shortly (after the guests had arrived dinner [was announced and sudh an appetiz ing repast is seldom seen. All gath. ] ered ground the heavily laden table and after thanks had been offered by Rev. J. A. Mclver, of the Louisburg Baptist church, each partook of "feast fit for' a King". It Is needtess to enumerate the many good things served for fear of leaving off, best. Although Miss Bordeaux Had stated that she was not giving this occasion with an idea of buying any one over to the cause, as her election had already been made, but as an appreciation, there Is no question about the fact that she had selected the right course and the exact menu to touch the heart strings of the men whose privilege it w^ to be present. And the wonder is, after such an enjoyable repast any "Uiih could be opposed to the Home Demonstration work, especially If thin was a fair sample. Miss Bordeaux was assisted in serving by two of Franklin. County's most noted cater ers, Mrs. J. A. Mitchtner and Mrs. S B. Nasft.
