C.. aa second claas matter. 1 i The negores who caught one of their color who had murdered one of their number at a lodge meeting near MDul toa Saturday night and held him (or the officers are to be congratulated. This is the kind of acts they should have been doing for a long time. Whenever they wish to hare the row dyism ar)<] murderous activities Of their race stopped they can easily ac complish that by rendering assistance to the officers In catching the crimi nals and then furnishing evidence fv conviction . PROVIDE A COTTON YARI) That LOUidtWi* Is badly in need of ?a Cotton Yard that will be convenient for the buyers as well as the grow ers has been again forcibly demonstra ted this werf, , when merchants oc cupying storej on the streets now used for cotton wagons registered ob jections to tfce no parking regulations that reserve^, .this space for cotton wagons, upon the grounds that it In terfered witii tfciir customers getting to their stoffes Conveniently. This is a just complaint and Is entitled to be heeded and. i Mags more forcibly to mind the necessity for Loulsburg hay ing a public i cotton yard where the farmers can take their cotton and un load it and sot jip their team if they like, while they are waiting for bids. And the buyers should arrange to do their buying- -on this yard. They could easily (range to be at the yard on certain fegRrs, and etiminate any Inconvenience that otherwise might be experienced from the change. This it a question the Business Men's As sociation can well take up and ar range. ?. i THE BEST EVIDENCE The following letter addressed to Mf. Bepa, Looiabnrg, N. C. and mailed at. Gupton, N. C? has been received by Supt. E. Lf. Best Aside from the fact that its a shame that Frank)in County has a citizen who would . at tack an educational program that will n at cost him one cent extra, in an asnonymons style like this, which fact only commands the greatest con tempt from our best citixeirt-. it is the beet of evidence that the Bpard of Edmcatlon has acted wlaety, The coming generation is entitlM} to .be taught better judgment and better common sense and above all a totter moral 'standard. The letted which bears ao name at all follows: "dear Mr Bess 1 am Wrlghting to you as a frind to let you know it would Be Best for yon to drop this high school for we don't need it It Is not done fair if I werar you I would Be afraid to go eny farth er with this school, as I am a friend to you there are so many Pepe here mad a Bout it it Is dangers" The letter Itself In the best of evi dence that the Board of Education is acting wisely in Its efforts to give to the children of Sandy Creek and Gold Mine townships an opportunity to be come bigger, better and broader cltl lens and enjoy life more abundantly because of the advantages offered them as children. BARBECUE Quite a large number of the officers and directors of the Franklin County Fair Association enjoyed a most de lightful barbecue at the Fair Grounds I on last Friday evening.

Do we not think as much of our children! If we do lets coop erate with our faculty often. The adoption of the time of open ing of school during the coming four weeks at 8:15 In the morning by the majority of the parents present Mon day morning was we think a wise step The children can react home about ath hour earlier In the after noon in-order' -to help pick cotton or do any chores required by the parents. Of course the children should go home and not remain on the way. The fact that it only lasts for one month makes it more reasonable for the ma jority. In some Instances It will be a little more Inconvenient but we feel that as everyone Is going to pull to gether to make our school the best In the history of the community we all are going to put forth every effort to harmonise for this short time. We can not help but say a few things about our Junior choir. On every hand we hear visitors compli ment our children upon their singing. It makes oar hearts glad.
