The State Highway can more tally
appreciate the condition they left the
Halifax road in since one of their ten

The Supreme Court holds that the
new prohibition law does not repeal
the old state law and" cancel convic
tions and lndicQhents thereunder In'
handing down Its decision in the case
of State vs Eugene Foster. Poster
will have to serve his term of 18
months Impnaod by Judge Cranmer
unless some other avenue of escape
is provided.
In justice to the Board of Education
relative to Mr. Jones' statement about
the $20,006.00 we call his and the pub
lic's attention to the fact that the
Board of County Commissioners have
to provide the funds for the Board of
Education for a six months school
term up to the maximum limit, by law,
after which the State makes up the
difference from the equalizing fund.
Therefore if Mr. Jones, or any one
else wishes to take a poettion that will
keep the teachers of the County out
of their money for six or eight months
It te their privilege ana tneir respon
sibility, as the Board of Education's
ability to pay is limited by the will
ingness of the Board of Commission
ers to provide the funds.
In another column will be-found an
article by Mr. J. R. Jones, Commis
sioner, taking a Shot at ttie editor ot
the. TIMES ^for what' he calls, false
and misleading statements. We arc
glad to publish this lis It admits all
we have said, and we will call Mr.
Jones attention to the fact that the
Minutes of the Board of County C>m
JLmtesioners of Franklin county Is" our
authority. He falls to ace our point
In the Military donation. For his
t>ertpf!t we Kill state It more clearly.
? How - can he consistently .vote a do
nation for a Military company and at
the same tlmo deny the benefit* of the
"Welfare Department to the unfortu
nates of Prankiln county. We direct
liia attention to a' letter from a little
?lrt In another Column of this Issue.
We don't criticise the donation to the
Military company, only his attitude to
wards Che great charitable work of
the Welfare Department. A* tor any

?Ed.)
To The People of Franklin
County and The Editor of
The* Franklin Times
As the Editor is kind enough
to offer his column a I will try to an
swer some of the false charges he has
brought against me. Mr. Johnson
said I had made serious charges
against the election officers of Har
ris township. I had no reference to
them at all. I 're seen Mr. King, he
says he did not think I did. Now what
I said in regard to the parable of the
Good Samaratln, Mr. Johnson has ac
knowledged it was "true. X have not
yet said any one did it intentionally,
though It looks very suspicious when
you see what has been said.
? Now, so far as Jones running the
entire County, no one has said it pub
licly except Mr. Johnson and no one
believes it at all. I believe the peo
ple- of Franklin County are wise
enough to know that it takes five men
to constitute the board of county com
missioners. Every one can readily
see that Mr. Johnson is trying to miss
lead the people by his false -argument
He said Jones was trying to run the
County Board of Education as well.
The only thing that I have done, was
to vote against the Bond issue of
which the Board of Education wanted
Twenty Thousand Dollars. As to the
$250 given to the Youngsville Mili
tary Company, . will say, we as Com
missioners, want to be impartial and
treat all alike. Our Chairman pro-!
posed to ?tre the $250 Instead of $350
that had been given to the Douisbnrg
Company, that accepting it Jones was
charged with -doing it, while all the
board voted for it. The people caif
see why, one was in Lioaisborg, the
other in Yoangsvllle. Now as to the
piping in Hayesrllle township, there
was two sections where the citizens
had built the road and asked tor piping
Dean moved to give one and Tones the
other. I am asking Mr. Johnson to
explain why Jones committeS a great
er crime than Dean did? Both did the
same thing, the people can see' lie is
trying Xo miss lead them. Mr. John
son referred to hiring o^t prisoners
from road duty. The Judge's sen
tence was fifty dollars flue and all
cost to be paid in advance, if hired oat
or to work ttie roa<Vs. We got the
ficns and all cost In advance which Is
in the treasury. If they had worked
the roads the county would have had
to paid it and probably never got It
as in the past It necespary will ex
plain more fully In the future. Now
as to Mr. Johnson's last calnse In his
Issue of March 2nd, when he says he
has always had a high respect and
deep regard (or Mr. Jones and hoped
1m Would tH his error and would yet
measure up to' his expectation. Where
Is the consistency of his argument
whan last four weeks prior to this In
the Isaae of the TIMES February 9th,
he triad to slander air nana as an
American cltlseti and as a Christian
aad as an officer. I think the people
will readily a?a there Is ' soaasUUn*
with Mr. Johnson. Will cloae
present.
t Rco^ctfully,
, J. B. JONES.
