An Agent of the Federal Income tax
department will be in Louisburg on
Februay 26th and 26th for the purpose
of assisting those who wish his ser
vices in making out their tax returns
We believe it will be best for Frank
lin County to build a new court house
with a jail on the third story, on the
present court square, rather than at
tempt to repair the old buildings. The
Jail property can be cut up into good
business lots and sold off and provide
a good portion of the money with
which to build.
The indications are that Congress
will attempt to impeach Secretaries
Denby and Daugherty. The general
public think they will be entitled to
such action. Evidently the Attorney
General has no personal pride since
he has allowed the president to go
over his head and appoint Counsel to
do the work he is supposed to super
vise ? the strongest display of lack of
confidence ? yet he hasn't resigned,
and the President hasn't ousted him.
Just which is to be criticised mo$t we
don't know.
Resolutions of The Franklin j
County Bar.
Whereas the Hon. Henry A. Grady, j
Judge of the Superior Court of North I
Carolina has presided over the courts |
of Franklin county during the term ?
of January, 1924.
Whereas it has been the pleasure of |
the bar to conduct with him said term j
of court in that close relationship J
which should ejUst between the bench |
and the bar as to give opportunity to I
measure the man, lawyer and jurist !
and whereas after so measuring Judge I
Grady we desire to express to him and |
to the public our estimate of him! 7
Therefore be it resolved that as a i
bar, in the estimate of lawyers of a |
lawyer, who by virtue of his ofTice pre% ?
sides over the courts, we esteem and I
hold Judge Grady to be one of the -
ablest, most efficient, impartial, learn- I
ed, industrious and courteous judges |
that ever adorned the Superior Court i
bench of North Carolina; a Judge who I
in the conduct or his courts presides |
with an ease and dignity which im- i
press all people, and one who is doing
as much to stimulate and encourage j
confidence in a higher respect and
reverence for the judicial department
of our state in all its functions. That |
we admire liis clear cut. rulings, sup
ported always by reason and authority
in such a convincing way and manner I
as to take away the sting of being de- |
feated before the court, and we applaud <
his clear, concise, plain and yet thor- I
ough charge to a jury, which always |
give it a clear idea of its duties, and j
functions as well as the law applicable j
to the issues and enables it to arrive j
at a verdict with intelligence and un- j
derstanding. , .
Resolved further that we express j
our pleasure in having Judge Grady to j
preside over our courts and look for- .
ward with pleasure to his return to us I
Resolved further that these resolu- |
tlons be spread upon the minutes of .
the court and copies sent to the press I
and to Judge Grady's loved ones at j
home. Officials of Franklin Superioi
Court from janitor up desire to join |
in these resolutions.

MUST WE REPAIR OR BUILD?
(Continued from Pago One)
different ideas as to the cost of a building. For that reason the
rate lias been given on n hundred thousand dollars, so that they
can be easily increased in proportion to your idea. Its your
problem and you should be enough interested to make some
calculation. For instance take the tax value of the property
yon gave in to the list taker last year and work out the cost
to you by adding 4 cents for each $100.00 you have. Would you
rt flier pay 4 cents for a complete new building or 2 oents to
hAVe the old ones repaired.
One of the greatest barriers in the way of a new court house
tot Franklin Comity several years ago when the question was
y bo much discussed was the location. A great sentiment had
worked up to move the court house to a new location on
Street. Then the question arose as to what to do with
Jldoolltt square. Some wanted it to be made a park, others
ed it sold for private business, and still others wanted the
ly toiceep it and retain it for the conrt house. * As tima
MKhlltfft grew Stronger in favor of the County holding
it and if a new court house was built at all to build it on the pres
ent square. There is no real good reason to move the location
if a new building is erected as it can be easily constructed so
that the noise. on the streets will not bother
the sessions of the court, but if it must be moved at all why buy
more property when the county has one of the finest pieces of
property in the town where the jail now is. This property could
easily be utilized for a court house and would be all the room
needed. On the other hand the jail property could he laid off
into lots by extending Cedar and Spring streets and Bull Hun
avenue and sold off for a handsome sum, even more than the
present court square. Those people who have erected or pur
chased buildings around the square feel like it would reduce
the value Of their property to turn the court square into pri
vate property, and by erecting the new building there it would
satisfy the desires of a large majority of Franklin County citi
zens in retaining an old land mark and also those whose prop
erty adjoins it on all four sides.
It io generally conceded that money spent in repairing or re
modeling old buildings is money thrown away. Therefore, it mi
of the utmost importance that this question he given serious
thought by your Commissioners and yourself in counselling
WlTh?V question has been raised "what could be done about
holding court if a new building was erected when- the old house
stands " That's easy. Arrangements could be made in Feb
ruary and work begun the first of March. The May term could
be dispensrd with, as it is usually done away with anyway, and
if need be the August term could be done likewise. The build
ing could be ready for use for the October court. In the mean
time arrangem -nts could be made to use the opera house for the
sessions of the Reorders Court. . .
Come to Louishurg Monday and meet with your Commission
ers at their invitation, to help solve what is best to do. And do
not allow yourself to be prejudiced either way. Don't be afraid
of a bend issue if you think it best to build new and don't fail to
exprePs yourself if y?" think it unwise to do other than repair
the old building.
In any event it is your responsibility and your problem. Meet
it face to face like men and solve it so th:?t you will always feel
i proud of your actions.
