WE THANK THEM
We acknowledge receipt o! the fol
lowing letter with thankB:
Loulsburg, N. C.
May 17, 1924.
Mr A. P. Johnson, Editor-"
The Franklin Times,
Loulsburg, N. C.
Dear Sir:
We note that you cut the vital ele
ments of the last aiticle that we sub
milted to you for publication under
the "Column Right" Issued by the
American Legion.
In doing this you killed the force of
lh'e article.
We judge from your action that
ynu are a bit afraid of the political
fcces that now exist. We wl3h to In
Icrm you that we are well awara of
the fact that some day in the near
future the ex-service men of this com.
munity will be the leaders of It. We
a.'e the natural Inheritors of the reins.
Tnls fact you cannot deny.
We did not request that you publish
these articles under your own name.
We requested that you publish them
under the name of the -American Le
gion." If yon objected to, or contem.
plated changing our articles, in any
respect, we think that as a matter
of courtesy, If nothing more, you
should have consulted the chairman
of our Publicity Committee. We are
perfectly Willing that you publish any
replies that our articles might have
generated. We do not appreciate your
action in this matter.
You may not give a rap, but the
future will prove to you that we mean
BUSINESS, when we say that we are
going to FIGHT for a SQUARE DEAL,
as long as we are able. We will be
able too fight when you are too old.
If you are not willing to publish our
articles, we believe that your com
petitors will be.
Thanking you for your past co-opera
tion in a just cause, and regretting
the fact that you chose to play second
fiddle to "Pussy Foot" In refusing to
support us In our present fight, we
are, i .
Respectfully yours,
Jambes Post,
The American Legion,
C. K. Cooke, Jr., Commander,
T. K. Stockard, Chairman Publi
city Committee.
It has always been our pleasure to
do everything that we could for the
interest of the ex-service men. We
promised ourselves in good faith to
do this when the boys were called
into service. We still conrider this
position equally binding now. It has
been our pleasure to Bupport them in
any laudible undertaking. We have
given UberaBy to them and their or.
ganlzations of our means and time'.
We expect 4o continue to do so when
we can do It Justly and In fairness to
others. They have done a great work
and are entitled to every considera
tion possible, consistent with the feel
ings and priviledges of others. How.
ever there are limits to any under
taking or any privileges.
The part that was omitted from the
article referred to was personal at.
tacks against the Board of Commis
sioners of Franklin County and Mr.
S. A. Newell, County Attorney, be
cause they hail seen lit in the discharge
of their public duty to deny to the
American Legion the privilege of
erecting a hut on the Jr.il property.
We had furnished them spade and
allowed them to give expression to
their feelings in several former issues,
only one of which did they do the
editor the courtsey of submitting their
article to him or to ask for space. In
the l;:stc.ncV referred lo in the letter
the copy was turned in to U?e printer
without the editor having knowledge
of 4t, and It v/as only by cfcance and
in confidence that the editor learned
the name of the author. S ;ch actions
and suci. articles ore contrary to news
paper rules. The editor Is wholly 11.
able for articles not sinned, or those
signed other than by the real name of
the writer, and Jointly for those that
are signed. For this reason as well as
common fairness ho Is supposed to
and should pass on all articles be
fore they are published. The submis
sion of any article to a newspaper for
publication automatically carrlee with
It the consent to have It censored to
correspond to recognized principles of
publication, by the editor, and it
would be Abfeurd to expect an editor
to ran out and look up the author
of an article and seek big consent for
? change, and more especially so when
lie Is not supposed to know who the
author Is. i

somewhat marred at the clo&e by the
sudden wind storm which broke upon
the scene. However, the restraint and
self. control of the actresses In vthiB
trying time only served to show more
clearly the thorough training which
they had received.
The graduation exercises at the Col
lege were held In the City High School
auditorium and were witnessed by the
largest audience that had ever assem
bled in Louisburg on a similar occas
ion. The academic procession was
formed at the College and was led by
the Seniors followed by the other
classes in order. The classes were
followed by Trustees, visitors and fac
ulty. All together, making a proces
sion which reached more than the
length of the campus. As the proces
sion slowly marched down the central
aisle they presented a most Imposing
and an Inspiring sight. Students were
massed In front of the auditorium
while on the platform were seated,
faculty, visitors and speakers.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Dr. Thomas Carter of Van
derbllt University. Music was fur.
nlshed by members of the Senior Class
and added much to the program. The
Commencement address was delivered
by the Honorable C. C. Dill. United
States Senator, from Washington. The
speaker was most happy in his re
marks and presented his subject In a
most eloquent manner. His address
was most kindly and met the needs of
the occasion in an admirable manner.
We congratulate Louisburg College on
having secured Senator Dill on thin
occasion for it was a rare treat to our
people to have such a live progressive
Senator In their midst. No man in
the United States Senate has made a
more enviable record considering the
length of time in office, than Senator
Dill.
The diplomas were then presented to
the graduating class by Pres. A. W_
Mohn. Bibles were presented to each
of the graduates by the College Chap
lain, Rev. O. W. Dowd. Rev. A. D.
Wilcox, Vice-President of the Board of
Trustees made the announcement for
the Trustees, and among other things
stated that the much talked of cam.
paig for Louisburg College, the objec
tive of which is the raising of $500,000
for buildings, equipment and endown.
ment, would be launched in June. He
stated further that tl*e quoto of Louis
burg and Franklin County is $160,000
and that if the Campaign throughout
the state is to succeed Louisburg must
set the pace. We believe that Louis
burg is not only ready but anxious to
show her appreciation of the College
by meeting her quoto at once. While
Louisburg Is not a town of wealth Its
citizens are by no me^ns poor and the
above amount should be subscribed in
very short order when the opportu
nity Is presented, especially as we un
derstand the building program will
cover three years and all subscriptions
can be paid in like manner. We be
lieve the glorious day has dawned for]
Loulsburg College. (or Louis burg and
(or Franklin County, and knowing oar
people as we do we have do hesitancy
In saying that they will measure up
to all expectations.
The benediction was pronounced by
Dr. John Gore, of Rockingham, one
of the Trustees of the College.
