C., >1 second class matter. ? Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, ot Ala bama, has indicated that he would ac cept the nomination for President In ] 1924 if glren him. The States deficit on December SI. 1932, as given out by the Auditors on 1 a:?aah basis was $2,863,068.88. This Mfms to be quite a big jump from the first figures. The attention of some ot our people wlu> are continually kicking about taxes, is directed to the per capita tax burden of our neighboring coun ties, as published In the University NeWB Letter, which are as follows: "Wake $*0.00, Nash *11.60. Vance 110.80, Granville $8.39, Warren $7.91, Wilson $16.10. Compare this with your own county Franklin. $9.93 and you will see that others pay as much and more than we do. Judge Beam, of Franklin County Recorder's Court Is to be congratula ted upon the manner In which he con< ducted his Court on last Monday, (Ms rosing of thirty-four cases He so managed his decisions that the great est satisfaction prevailed and a great good was accomplished In instilling beginning he convinced the defend ants and the spectators that he had a determination to give sentences that would produce the deslrei results, and as a result no appeals were tak en. In the case of the changes of sen tence It was done upon recommenda tion of the proseentir.n. This days work will no doubt mean much tor Fianklin, and the people are indebt e to Judge Beam for the vrholesome spirit he has encotrageOT LOOK A1TEK THE BOLL WEEVIL From the reports being received in Loulsburg there are many sections of Franklin County Infected with boll weevils. In every case where they have appeared the squares that have fallen off should be carefully picked up every morning and bui*ned. It would be well to keep plowing your cotton as long as you can as this will assist in destroying them by cover ing the squares with dirt which be comes too hot for them to survive in these long hot days. It would also be well to dust with calciun. arsenate. In using this poison the greatest care bhould be taken as It is deadly poi son. Do not let your stock come in c? ntact .with it. Remember that the work done now is ot value, but if it la put off It will become a very ex pensive delay. - The contrnll you take of the wee>ll this year will be of greatest assistance in the future. THE TAX PBOBLEX We believe the greatest problem be loTt the American people today Is the problem of taxation, Hays the Shena doah. la.. Sentinel Poet. Two sane methods of lellef are open. ?!rst discourage new govern mental and (ancles which add unneces wiry laws to our statue books with lnci'eaped numbers of employes and more government overhead. Official ism spreads like the green bay tree If left to Its own course, so trim It dowk to essentials. Stx^fmd, see that all property pays taxef/pqually, which It does not do at pqfcaent. Under our existing laws any person Is at llbe??y to convert bis property Into non-taxable bonds and tkus escape all forms of taxation. Tfce necessity (If It ever existed) for tax-exempt bond Is past and the day to here when no such loophole as tkte should remain to enable those moat *ble to pay to escape taxation. x dollar that tax-exempt bonds i cats two ways ? it doubles the i other people and removes a Lfrom Industries which need It anslon and development.

Active agitation has been carried on to launch the government into the Held of crop Insurance, but a report Just issued by Department of Agri culture, while emphasizing the ne cessity for crop insurance, does not favor a government agency. During the first nine weeks of 1923, the Western Electric Company ship ped three billion eight nundred mil lion conductor feet of lead-covered telephone cable to the operating com panies of the Bell System., "The moBt effective medium of pub licity is, and will continue to be the public press," says Philip H. Gadsden, president of the Eastern ntates Gas Conference and vice-president of the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia, in advocating larger ex penditures by gas companies for ad vertising In newspapers. It Pays To Use Standardized Seed Speaking before the Seed Breeders Association in session today at the State Farmers Convention, U. B. Bla loek. General Manager of the N. C.' Cotton Growers Cooperative Associa tion, said, "A premium of one half cent a pound o? ? North Carolina's to tal crop of cotton means over two million dollars to this state while a premium of only a cent a pound means over four million dollars for the cotton growers of the state over and above the market price." Mr. Blalock was discussing the im^ portancw of using standardized seed, of carefully selected variety and suit ed to the climate and soil of the State. After discussing the import ance of breeding in stock and seed. Mr. Blalock gave It as his personal experience as well as his observation, that the cotton growers should aban< don staple cotton and standardize on varieties of a uniform staple of a heavy bodied type. He suggested the Mexican Big Boll as a seed which would give general satisfaction. Mr. plalock told of having asked some English cotton mill men their opinion of the "Cotton Standard Act" and they replied that they were more in terested In a real food variety and thought It would be better for the Carolines to adopt 4 particular varie ty, name It and make ft famous. They would always prefer ? variety with a uniform staple and of a heavy bodied type. In his address Mr. Blalock told ofi conversations with other large man ufacturers and how they had advised that North Carolina farmers should break away from staple cotton and standardize on Cleveland or Mexican Big Boll. The boll weevil is not responsible for damage done by the r64 spider and wilt disease. These are still ad ditional troubles for the cotton farm er and require different treatment, eay Stats Collage worker*. Subscribe to Ap JTranklln Tines SIR. JVMCS EDWARDS PASSES AWAI _ _i A wave of sorrow paased onr tUu (.omm unity when It wu known tl'ii . on the evening of June 12th, IheJ U(e of the above mentioned had en4cd. Mr Edwards' health had not been pood for Severn 1 years, ret -ht> had kept up most of the time and recent ly appeared to be In better health, therefore the shock of his death seem ed great to his friends and loved ones. Ue was confined to bed but a few days. A trained nurse was summon ed and with the united efforts of th? physicians skill, dear ones and myigb bors all that human power could do. was dono. but to no avail, in one week the suffering victim yielded up IU life and the spirit went back ta the Ood who gave It life. With this statement comet the tact that, his home, the church to which be belonged and the community sus tains a great loss, because a good man has left us. He was bom Feb. 1st. 1858, In Vance County, was the son of 8am Daniel Edwards and Elizabeth Har ris Edwards. On Dec. 13th, 1883 Mr. Rdwaxds was married to Miss Mollle E. Bledsoe. To this union were bom five children all of which survive him except one who died in infaucy. Besides the heart broken wife there remain to mourn the loss of this loved one his two daughters, Mrs. June Har ris, Mrs. Arthur Harris, the sous. Messrs. Sam and Tom Edwards all living near his home at Laurel. The sisters living are Mrs. J. F. Knuckles, of Dabney. Mrs. Jim Adcock, of War ren County, Mrs. Sam Finch of Frank lin County. Two sisters, Mrs. Joe Phelps aod Mrs, John Hlcka, two brothers, Mr. Rufus Daniel Edwards and Mr. Will iam R . Orrell have gone on before and in the land of the blest welcomed this good brother. 1 his christian gentleman Joined the church when quite young. The first connection was with Mt. Carmel Pro testant Methodist church In Vance County. A few years after their mar riage these good people moved to Luarcl and have lived here ever sincc. Mr. Edwards became Interested in the Christian Church and ? aa. instru mental in locating the site and erect ing the building known as Mt. Giiead Christian Church, near Laurel. For quite a while at this place the old time practice of preaching undw an arbor was used. He was a charter member of this church, Joining it among the first, remaining a consis tent member until his death. Said one of the members, "A good man has left the church, we shall miss his pres ence and support in every way." One of his near neighbors said, "I have never heard one word against June Edwards, we have lost one of our best men." In the home one saw this man at his best, a kind and loving fa ther and husband, genuinely hospit able to his friends, ever ready to take in the stranger and lend a helping hand to passer by If needed. As a business man he was honest square in his dealings his life was pure and clean, truly he was loved' and respected by all. It is hard to realize that we will not have this friend and loved one with uh again, but when we know that he is with the angels and his Lord, where there are no trials and no afflictions, we can but say "Be it so, God knows best." In the absence of the Mt. Giiead pastor the funeral services were most appropriately conducted by Rev. George May, at the home of the de ceased. The Interment was in the family cemetery near the home, those acting as pall bearers were, Henry Cottrell, B. G. Egerton, Tom Cash, P. W. Pernell, Edd Champion, Iry Cash. The large concourse of people and the many floral offerings as well as the tear filled eyes, all gave evidence of the real worth of the life of the de ceased. Now that the vision of loved ones is o'er cast with gloom and sorrow be cause of the absence of this loved on?, we can but commend you to the Heav enly Father, for, It Is He who grants the merclleBg reaper the privilege to thus deal with His creatures, then He must turn in the light that will pierce the darlt cloud of bereavement and show you tbat there "Is Balm In Gilead" and "Some day you'll under stand." The oiyy consolation is that, your loved one has heard the Father say, "Well done, thou good and faith ful servant, enter thou Into the Joys of thy Lord." Yes, your treasure ;e in Heaven . A precious one from us has gone A voice we love Is stilled A place made vacant In our home Can ne'er more be filled. Fare welj dear; but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn We shall meet, to part, no never On the resurrection morn. May Ood be with and comfort every aching heart and grant that this may be an unbroken family In heaven, the prayer and wish of ?A FRIEND.

DEWITTE XOOKE, COL , DEAD On Friday, July 27th, the angel of God touched Dewltte Moore, one of the best colored men of Franklin county and he died. He had been sick in hds home for ten weeks. He was 62 years of age and was a mem ber and deacon of Jones Chapel Bap tist church. His funeral servloes were conducted by his pastor, Rev. T. S. Henderson in his home. The text was selected from Rev. 20:12 and 2 Cor. 5th: 1st verse the theme used "Standing before God." Dewltte was also a faithful member of the K. of G. and the Masons which they carried out the usual performance. Then the body was taken to the family cem etery and laid to rest. Large num bers of friends ct tended these servic es. Tho pallbearers were Frank Fogg, J. H. 8111s, Plummer Davis, George Hargrove, John Alston and John Thomas.

"Our Father." ? B. TWLLIHGNESS TO CO. OPERATE, REFRESHING Active agitation bag been carried on to launch the government into the field at crop insurance, but a report just issued by the Department ot .Agriculture which, while emphasising tt>e necessity tor crop insurance seems not to tavor a government agency, "Among the difficulties would be that of fixing equitable rates which would be acceptablo as such as be tween different localities auil different (arms. Great diversity in rates is un avoidable on account of differences in the hazards of climate, plant di seases, Insect pests and other factors. The government would almost certain ly meet with bitter criticism as to tbe fairness of the rates charged." The department gives many help ful suggestions for bringing about crop insurance. Although private Ore Insurance companies whlca wrote crop insurance in 1920 suffered heavy losses, It feels that the experiment was justified and that the same ac curate data which insurance compa nies have obtained over a long period of years on which to base Ore Insu rance rates, can be worked out in regard to crop Insurance. It is refreshing and enc juraging to see the Department of Ajricol'ure lend its assistance toward working out a feasible plan of crop U:su ance through private agencies which do not load the government with ovorhead tax burdens, Instead or advocating government assumption of thl3 line of private endeavor.
