MR. S. C. YANJi
(By Hoy Taylor, Supt. Franklinton
School s
Samuel Cannady Vann. the builder
and donor of the new Franklinton
building, was born in Darlington
Ct unty. South Carolina, July 27, 1S52,
the son of Alexander R. Vann, a phy
sician who was born and reared in
the same community. The original
family came from England about two
generation before him. His mother,
Elizabeth F. Cannady Vanu, was born
and reared in Granville County, North
Carolina. After marriage, his parents
lived in Darlington County about two
years and then moved to Granville
County, North Carolina. Samuel C.
Venn at that time was three months
old. They lived in Granville County
until January 1, 1866, when they mov
ed to Forestville in Wake County. It
was there on farm near that village
that Samuel Cannady Vann spent his
boyhood days.
Mr. Vann was educated at the vil
lage school and at Wake Forest Col
lege. At the age of twenty he came
tc Prankllnton to clerk in a general
ctore for W. H. Mitchell at a salary
ol $3.00 a week. After remaining in
the employ of Mr. Mitchell for two
yiars, he went to Paltimcre, where
he was connected with a cotton com
mission firm about one year. Loav- '
lug Baltimore, he came back to Frank
lir ton and went into the general mer
cantile ousiness to:* himsel/. continu
ing in this business about sixteen
years. In 1895 he went into the cot
ton manufacturing business and or
ginized the Sterling Cotton Mills, a
8'iiall spinning mill with 2,000 spin
dles, capitalized at $r?0,000. This
proved, vory successful from the
first and at the end of two yoar?
he increased the mill to 6,448 spin
dles. Tii the meant. me ho h;id bought
the interests of all the stockholders
in the original mill, paying from two
to five times the par value of the,
stock. Tho mill was Increased to 26,
8f?6 spindles in 1912 and is still being
cperated by Mr. Vann and his son, A.
la addition to .hla n hrr
t usiness Interests, Mr. V inn has b<;en
closely identified with the Citizens Na
t'.cnal Bank of Raleigh for the past
twenty years.
On December 18, 1878, Mr. Vann
?was married to Miss Bet tie B. Hen
Iffy, daughter of James Aldridge and
Josephine Henley, cf Frankllnton.
Mr. and Mrs. Vann have three chlld
len. The oddest, AJdridgo ''"?Henley
Venn, was married to Elizabeth Mc
Donald Dixon in 1912, and is engaged
In banking and cotton manufacturing
In Frankliton. The cider daughter.
Mabel, wad married In 1910 to John
Augrufttus Moore, also a cotton manu
facturer his mills being located at
Kosemary, N. C. The younger daugh
ter, Eleanor, resides with her parentt
In Frankllcton.
Mr. Vina has always taken a keen
Interest In pnbllc Improvements In
the town and community. All the
'WtllOW oaka on all the streets of
]P>ankltnton were p'anted by him.
When the quest<on of Improving the
public roads began to be agitated, he
took a leading part, and when Frank- 1
llftton township voted a bond Issue
for toads, he became chairman of the
township road commission. To this
commission, ot-whloh he was chair
man, belongs the distinction of bav
in* originated and Inaugurated (he
present system of building reads on
?n elaborate scale. W. 8. Fallls, then
<#MMtdered to be the beat highway en
'glneer In the atste. was employed to
lay oat the roads In the township.
Quite a number of pronlnent road
.jv.cn from different' pert* df the State
i ? ' ^ ? . ?
came to inspect the construction sys
tem adopted here and later adopted
it for their localities. The present
Srate system of building roads is
largely the outgrowth of work begun
iu Franklinton township by Mr. Vann.
Mr. Vann joined the Methodist
ITpIscopaT Church In Franklinton De
comber, 1SS9, and has always been a
consistent member and supporter of
i be church. He has been a staunch
triend and supporter of the Metho
dist Orphanage at Raleigh since itj
establishment. Some years ago h ?
established a loan fund of ISO, 000 to
'be known as the Bettie Henley Vann
Loan Fuhd, for the benefit of gradu
ates of the orphanage who may want
to continue their education in insti
tutions for higher education. The
loan has been most successful. A*?out
twenty-five graduates are receiving
aid from it at present. He has also
contributed*" $100,000 to the endown
ment fund of the orphanage. In ad
dition to many generous donations to
church and educational institutions,
he recently contributed $10,000 to the
endownment fund of Trinity College.
Early in 1920 Mr. Vann first an
nounced his purpose to dcnate a pub
lic school building to Frauklinton.
Difficulty >n securing the proposed
site, however, delayed the beginning
until the summtT of 1922. He has
taken a groat personal interest in the
plans for the building, having visited
and inspected the best schools in the
S-tate and ih(T'Lincoln school in New
York City. Jhe result is ihat what
was originally intended to J?e a build
ing that *ould cost 5100,000 has
grown into a $300,000 plant. Mr.
Vann has repeatedly stated that hi3
ti-ly object in donating thin building
tc Franklinton Township is to give
the boys and girls of this immediate
section the opportunity to secure
thorough and practical education
Lore tor LUiHrtn
The love for children is one of the
outstanding things in Mr. Yann's life.
There is a genuine companionship
between him aud the small children
of the town. He is never In too great
n hurry to speak to the humbles:
child on the street or too busy to
call the 'raggedest one into his office
to share any liitle refreshment or
fruit he might happen to have. The
1 appiest day of the year with him is
ChriBtmas Eve when he gives to every
child in the community, white or col
ored. who comes to his office a bright
new one dollar bill with t*:e admoni
tion to do as he pleases with it. This
brings practically every child in this
section to see him.
?In the widest seen? of the wor.t,
Mr. Vaon has neen a successful man
Unaided, he is the architect and buil
der of his own fortune. During the
years that he has been busy building
up a large business, he nas not oeen
unmindful of the people among whom
he has lived. He hAs taken a genu
ine interest in the people employed
in his mil!s and has done mauy an
unpublished deed of kindn^s to those
In need As a part of his belief in the
eternal fitness of things, h*. has dedi
cated his great soul to the expendi
ture cf his resources for the good of
all mankind To him the possession
of property is a trust not to be hoard
ed for selfish purposes, but to be used
where it will l*?neCit the largest num
ber of pec. pie in the largest way. It
is in this spirit that he contributes of
his means to churches, orphanages
and educational institution.

sixty-three clubs already enrolled
rmong the 150 towns 01 the slate
West Virginia, with forty-foul clubs
Old of fifty-five requests organize,
stands first.
Under the presidency of Charles
U. Harris a "National Democratic
Victory Club to win in 1924/' has
been enrolled in Raleigh with 100
members, but its lauraU may be
taken away in the next fev* days, as

on Raleigh s heels. Under the leader
ship of J. Allen Austin a club of S9
members has been formed in High

tain the National Headq?*a-ters and
help "win in 11)24."
Hall statement
"Every man or woman who enrolls
a National Democratic Victory Club
renders a service that cannot be mea
sured. He or she makes !t possible
for the National Headquarters to car
ry out an effective program of edu
cation and organization TI11S year.
Kach one can feel that, due to his ef
lorti the Party is not goln^ to wait
until the last three months, and then
try to elect a President, but is doing
what all Democrats want it to do ?
vorking and fighting every day, be
tr een elections as well as during the
heat of the campaign.
"The Republicans, with their un
limited means, are flooding the coun
try with propaganda in a despcratu
struggle to overcome our '.ead and
*e must combat their efforts NOW ?
We cannot wait.
"I am forming a Victory Club in
fvery town in the Union, and the Vic
tory Club President in f?ach town is
the keystone of the arch The whole
btructure depends on him.
"That is the reason I am deeply
grateful for and appreciative of the
services rendered by the loyal men
and women who have already enroll
td their clubs and, through then-.,
tUank the loyal Victory Club mem
bers who have sustained them. Such
cooperation will bring Democratic
success nt.xt year and will serve to
emphasize the vital part played by
the Victory Club THIS year in pro
ducing ihat result."

beautifying the Home Grounds, Some
Things to do now.
Prune low branches. If gome of
I he branches of the shade trees about
the house are hanging down too low.
cut them off now, as these branches
l-aturally hang lower during summer
thnn during winter because of the
v eight of the leaves The proper
time to prune them is any time they I
get in the way. Be sure, however, to
tut the branch off right up smooth
with the trunk of the tree Then yon
would better paint the cut. Winter
time is the proper time tc do this
pruning, but a few branches cut oft'
3 tree during summer will do no
harm.
Cultivate flower bed*. The flower
beds should be cultivated Just as lon^
as there is room to get In there and
cultivate them without injuring the
flowers. This is e?pecta11*' true of
1 ed? of cannas, colens. scarlet or
Yexican sage, geraniums, etc. I>or t
overlook the fact that ther,e flowers
are Just as much plants as any crop,
and that to do their TTest tney must
he ftfven cultivation Just a* 1b given
to any other crop.
A light application of nitrate of
m .da to the annual flowering plants.
\ netheT they are in beds or In rows,
will be found profitable. It Is desir
able to make applications two or
three times, say at intervals of two
to three weeks.
Plant some cosmos A fall bloom -
late to plant it. Cosmos will grow
almost as a weed, and will produc ?
t xcellent blooms
Keep down weeds We have s?*eri
many places where the lawr ano
flower bed* were fairly well kep;,
and yet around those same places
weeds are allowed to grow up and
<d? tract from the general appearance
of the grounds. The ground proper
may be well kept but with the weedr.
allowed to grow right up tD the edge
of the grass the general appearance
of th* whole place la hurt
