S ASSOCIATION :
Entered at the Post Office at L<oula
N. C., aa second claaa matter.
The United States Supreme Court
has held that States can prohibit
aliens from owning and holding land
This, no doubt. Is a welcomed decis
ion for California and Washington.
The former German Emperor, ac
cording to press dispatches, la pre
paring to return to the Fatherland.
Hte already has his passports for him
self and suite, end the Brussels Ga
zette goes so far as to say It is ex
pected the Hohenzollern Monarchy
will be restored December 4, William
or his son, the former Crown Prince
Frederick William, ascending the
Throne. Of what benefit has been
the World War?
Upon investigation we And that In
the last General Assembly a bill was
passed abolishing the position as Au
ditor for Franklin County and thai
this law repealed all laws, and claus
es of laws In conflict with It. This
law provides that the Board of County
Commissioners may hare the books of
the county audited each year but to
do so It must arrange with the State
Auditor's office to have the work
done or let the contract to some au
diting concern. We understand that
the Board had been advised that they
could employ an Auditor, and they
telt the need of some one to look af
ter the bookkeeping of the county,
and therefore acted in good faith. The
advice however is contrary to the law,
as we understand It, amd we think the
proper thing for the Board to do
would be to resdlnd the order.
TJLA.NKSGIYISG
Thanksgiving day Is the one day In
the year when the nation tarns to
heaven tor its preservation. Let us
be thankful that we live, that we live
in times of peace and prosperity. Let
us be thankful that we have homes
with husbands and children to lore
and to lore us. Let ua be thankful
for the comforts of life. Let us be
thankful for work, strength and de
sire to do our work gladly. Let us
cultivate a spirit of gentleness, of
graciousness, of brightness and glad
ness and wisdom that will make all
about us thankful that we are alive.
In view ot the great blessings that
God Almighty has bestowed upon us
in the abundance of crops and good
prices, health, happiness and good
feelings, one to another, what more
fitting tribute of gratitude could we'
pay than to observe the day In a great
County Mass Meeting to be held at
Louisburg the county seat and render j
an appropriate program. In that so
much has been given us ought we not 1
do our mite to show humble recogni
lion of that power that does all .
things well.
Resolutions
In the passing of Mrs. D. C. High,!
the Woman's Missionary Society of
the M. E. Church, South, of Louisburg,
has sustained a real loss ? a loyal work
er and friend has gone to her eternal
home.
In hours of need and sorrow, our
Bister and co-laborer has ministered
faithfully and cheerfullly, ever ready
and willing to heed the call from suf
fering humanity. She gave of herself
and resources unsparingly.
In her church life it was God's will
she endeavored to obey, and the Wo
man's Missionary Society has been
made far richer by her membership
and the association with her; there
fore, be it resolved:
1. That in the passing of this good
?woman, a vacant place has been made
in our ranks, which we shall sorely
feel.
2. That we tender her deeply be
reaved huBband and children our deep
est love and sympathy and commend
them to God's loving care.
3. That while we shall mlSB her
greatly, we bow to the purpose of a
Higher Power than ours.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family, a copy spread
on the minutes of the Missionary So
ciety, and a copy be sent The Frank
lin Times for publication.

FARMERS PROSPER
AS NEVER BEFORE
Carolina Beats Heeord ? <'00 per* tire
Marketing Faker* la Hew Era Of
Prosperity Within I Tear*.
(8. D. Frlssell)
After two yesre of cooperative mar
keting of cotton and tobacco, pros
perity return* to the Carolina* with a
flood tide that breaks Ml former
bounds. With the value of the crops
around which 80,000 North Carolina
farmers have organized estimated at
close to 1250,000,000 by the North Car
olina Department of Agriculture, as
compared to the value of (157,239,000
received for cotton and tobacco In
1920, the miracle of orderly market
ing becomes apparent
The farmers who hare worked to
gether to brine back prosperity to
their states by orderly marketing are
not anm(h9fal of the cause for Its re
turn. Many thousands hare Joined
the marketing associations within the
past twelve month*, the total signers
of the tobacco association contract
now running beyond 1 1,000 accord
ing to the latest coont.
Ramors that the teal payment to
tobacco growers of the cooperative as
sociation In the Old Belt would bring
their total receipts to about twenty
dollars a hundred were set at rest
this week when It was announced
from the association offices In Rich
mond that the total cash payments
will average closer to $25.00 than $20
per hundred pounds and that another
substantial payment will be made to
members both in the Old Belt and In
Eastern North Carolina, on the crop
of 1922 when the redrled tobacco
which ts now selling well ts llnatly
disposed at. These figures can not
be taken as final, as they are depend
ent upon the final sales of the asso
ciation's redried tobacco nor do they
apply to every Individual member of
the association, because of wide vari
ations In the quality of tobacco de
livered.
The average of Edward Mabrey of
Fuquay Springs who received over
thirty dollars per hundred pounds
first cash advance for an entire barn
of tobacco, establishes a new high
record for the marketing association.
Over 750 pounds of Mr. MabreyV load
of 820 pounds brought an advance of
$32.50 per hundred. George Worth
Ington of Ayden, whose load of 610
pounds brought an average of $24 a
hundred, J. C. Eddies of Spring HoDe.
whose load of 692 pounds brought
$143.63 and C. W. Bright of QreenTllle,
who received a first cash advance of
$263.91 for 1304 pounds are among
the many growers who have lately
benefitted from the Increased cash ad
vances made by the tobacco associa
tion this year.
Deliveries to association houses
reached seven million pounds last
week. The association will open
twenty more warehouses in Virginia
Tuesday, November "20, to receive the
dark tobacco of its members who last
year delivered sixty per cent of Vir
ginia's crop of dark tobacco.
Continued violation of their contract
with the Tobacco Growers Coopera
tive Association, following an tnjunc*
tion of the court resulted In the sen
tence of 30 days In jail and a fine of
$250 each for R. O. Stephens and T.
F. Morris, of Rockingham County,
who were last week adjudged In con
tempt of court by Superior Court
Judge Henry P. Lane at Winston-Sa
lem.
