ASOTHEH MILE TOST PASSED It Is with much satisfaction and pleasure that we call the attention of oar readers to the fact that THE FRANKLIN TIMES passed another mile post op Its pathway of usefulness to Louisburg and franklin County during the past weekj. The large de gree of appreciation of our efforts that has been so substantially shown by the liberal and unstinted patronage both of our subscribers and our advertis ers has been an Inspiration to us, and will ever be an influence guiding us on our way to do even more and bigger service. For fifty-two years the FRANKLIN TIMES has been preaching Louisburg and Franklin County, telling of their advantages, defending them In their actions, and pointing out the path of progress, though feebly, to tts citizens, and entreating and encouraging them to go forwr.rd. And when we look at Franklin County and Louisburg today and compare them with twenty or twenty-five years ago. It brings the same pride to us that it does to you. Therefore It gives us pleasure to know that we have had a part in the forward march of the best County in America, and it gives us satisfaction to know that our efforts have been appreciated by the patieaage given us. With the continued co-operation of our people we promise you all that there is in ns In the future. North Carolina bank scandals have teen lost sight of in the interest the Tea Pot Dome is commanding. The heavy snow Wednesday morn ing was quite a surprise to our peo* pie. Lets hope it was equally so to Mr. Boll Weevil. We note that the County tax rate of New Hanover County Is 52.20 ? not far from Franklin and New Hanover con tains the city of Wilmington. The friends of Hon. Josephus Dan. iels in Raleigh have organized a Dan iels for President Club. Let 'er go. We would be glad to see him at the head of the government. At the recent Country Lite Confer ence held in St. Louis a moving pic ture film was shown of a farm boy and his prize flock of chickens. ? The birds were fine because the boy had a scien tific knowledge of chicken culture and had applied his knowledge to the care of his bock. But the boy was a mouth breather and showed further effects of malnutrition. The chickens were better cared for than the boy. In an effort to raise the standards of rural schools in New Jersey, the State I department of public instruction re cognizes as "consolidated schools" on ly those which have not fewer than eight grades and in which not more than two grades are taught by one, teacher. Eighty-six consolidated schools have been established in the 23 counties of the State. Thesc?|school3 1 have an average of six classrooms each. r'\? To prevent overcrowding the time of students by too many extra-cttfrlr: ulum activities, the faculty of Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, has ap pointed certain of its members to an "events committee." This committer will consult with other members of the faculty and with representatives of the student body in an effort to bring about a proper proportion be tween the time spent in study and in outside campus affairs. SUPERANNUATE EN DOWN WE NT The Loulsburg Station of the Meth odist Episcopt-l Church, South, Rev. O- W.

DOWD, Pastor eight, to serve humanity and the church, 1,300 widows and 600 orphans, many of whom are living in little bet ter than poverty. They never forgot duty and the church for a single mo. ment. and there is now evidence on all sides that the church Is at lr.st thoroughly awake to its bclr.teil duty to its forgotten servants. XACADAS KOADS When John Loudon Macadam, in 1810, began to experiment with broken stone for building roads, be met with much opposition from the "stand-pat" road builders, who contended that the expense would be prohibitive and that anyway, broken stone in courses of as sorted sizes was no better than broken stone of one size in one course. Time proved the merit of Macadam's idea, although the century and .nine years which have elapsed since bis first practical experiment was tried at Bristol. England, in 1815. have greatly altered the practice of macadamized road building. Up to the advent of the automobile Macadam's principles were employed in their entirety, the broken stone be ing bonded with rock dust and water, the former replaced by the impact of iron shod vehicles and hoofs, the lat ter by the rain. When the automobile, with its rapid movement and broad rubber tires, sucked the rock dust from between the stones in spite of the gentle bonding effort of the water. It was realized that something was lacking in the roads used for fast, soft. shod traffic, which lack was not felt under slow and steel shod traffic. That "something" was a better bond than water. It was found in oils and tars and bituminous com pounds. Luckily for the millions of dollars invested in macadamized roads an oil, tar, or bituminous binder could, and was. applied with success to ex isting roads, thus saving to the tax payer miles of highways which were otherwise doomed. Today, all macadamized roads are built with the bituminous oil or tar binder applied during the building, but the basic principles of larger founda. Hon and smaller upper course, topped by a wearing surface of fine crushed rock and dust, bound. -Hi place by some thing, is still employed- Macadam's greatest monument Is the dropping of The capital letter in his name and mak ing it the label for all rosds built of crushed rock laid in courses of differ, ent sizes. WHOSE "BONN'S"? (By Richard L. Masten) p~JWh*n Jones was marching off to war it thrilled his neignhors to the core. They told him. "You're a noble I youth. You go to fight lor right and truth, and after you have won the fight rely on us to treat you right. You'll see, when you come back again, the things that we will give you then." When Jone* came back from orer there The thing- they gave him was the nlr. i When Smith went off to meet the foe they cheered and wept to see him go. Then hung a wreath upon his gun, and, oh, such wondrous yarns were spun of what they'd do to make it right for Smitli returning from the fight. "When yfi come back again," Haid they "you'li see the things we'll swing your way." I When Smith came home again from war The tiling they swung him was the door. Now Jones and ftmith, of course, were game, but disappointed Just the same. They'd lost their start and didn't feel enthusiastic for the deal. For guys who hadn't risked their necks cashed Ip some different sorts of check r from thoso they cash in danger's facfc in some unholy foreign plaoe. Yon see, the ir?y* that made the coin In wartime weren't the ones to Join. 80 nov? that;they behold the axe up ra teed, to cut tha inritrnft tax and also IsmWo the "bonus" down, no wonder | they're Inclined to frown. For bonds I and things with weighty yields weren't 1 gathered in in Flanders fields, and Jones and Smith and such as they don't make enough I'"*" ? .So when upon the tax they ponn^ N < Each payer's notice should announce; "We're cut jour tax bjr mail) bones ? YOl'K BOM'S PAID BY SMITH AMD JOSES." UNEQUAL OPPORTUNITIES On one side ot a dividing line which separates two counties or perhaps de termines the boundaries of some great city, lives a young North Carolinian. On these bright October mornings he wends hiB way to a magnificent school building in which are provided all the conveniences necessary to comlort. Before him stands a teacher gifted, trained, and competent, with only a single grade to teach. This privilege is given him for 180 days every year. Just on the other side ot thia same dividing line lives another young North Carolinian. His school does not open till the middle of November and will continue for only 120 dayB. Perhaps no conveniences are offered and no teaching apparatus is provided. He Is TfisTrucle<njy "a ^young girl who I? not even a high qlchool graduate, and who has to teach seven grades. Shall the accident of birth place or dwelling place forever affect unequaK ly the opportunities of these two young Americans? Each of them is and will be a citizen of the same state. Each of them is being trained for his duties as a citizen in a system of public schools which our Constitution says shall be/uniform. One is as capable, as ambitious, as promising as the oth er. One, in all probability, will have completed high school and entered college while the other is still in the grades. Must this go on forever, or is there a remedy within the reach of the people, if they will only reach out and take it? ? A. T. Allen. WHITE LEVEL NEWS Because we are always glad to hear from the surrounding communities is why we like to give our friends the items from our community.

Now. we are all sorry to know that our friend, Mr. Eddie Gray Brewer has the 'mumps", and at the same time it is quite funny when we imagine just how his face must be ^"puffed." Mr. Lee Davis and Miss Chessie Murphy motored over to Kittrell Sun day to see Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Murphy. Our Sunday School is doing good work at present, but. we see no rea son why we can't do better. We have good teachers and officers. Little Carl Davis, who is sick at Park View hospital, Rocky Mount, is getting along nicely now. Mr. Woodburn, our principal, says he is very anxious to go back to Guil ford county, because of the charming young Jadies. I It is very Interesting to hear the I Co.ops talk sinee they have gained faith and confidence in their organi zation. At first there was much sor row, and grief, but now they sing. "I'm a Co-op born and a Co. op bred, and when I die I'll be a Co-op dead ? gone-" . Mr. George Conn, accompanied liy Mr. I -I n woof! Sturdlvant, motored over to Hickory Rock last Sunday.
