The announcement that Ed Yarbor
ough is dead touches the TIMES t\iffer
ently possibly than anyone else in
Louisburg. Ed besides being a man of
broad and intelligent mind, a big heart
and sympathetic nature was a printer.
This to a printer means a fellowship
that tails to give expression iu words.
Its a tie that binds. He began his career
on THE FRANKLIN TIMES as "devIV
when about fifteen years old and
through ability and close apprecia
tion he soon ro3e step by step to the
associate editorship. It was he. who
in 1S96 employed the present editor
in the TIMES office as ?devil." And it
was through his instruction and ex
ample that the present editor learned
much of his profession. He developed
Into an especially strong writer, and
his knowledge of business was accu- 1
rate and systematic. Like the rest of
maukind Ed had his faults, different.!
no doubt, from yours or mine, but none
the greater therefore. His keen tntelect
and broad knowledge of events gave
to him an enviable position in his
community.
Through our close fellowship we re
joiced with him in his success and was
sad with him in his misfortunes
Though tumble as it may be we give
our littlqT tribute to a man whose friend
ship we prized. Peace to his ashes. ,
If yoa. want the C ommissioners to
act wisely in the expenditure of public
funds yoti had best be present at the
mass meeting Monday and stand firmly
for a new court house and jail com
bined. Any other course will be un
wise expenditure of public funds.
The Kiwanis Club and the Business
Mens Association, who stand for pro
gress have an opportunity to lend their
support and influence to the Board of
County Commissioners and show them
where it is to the public interest to
build a new court house and jail com
bined. They should act immediately
aud meet with the Board next Mon
day.

To The Editor.
Dear Slr:
I? must be apparent to the voters ot
Franklin County that the Recqrd?r's
Court has been of great value to us
in an economic way. Heretofore, the
docket at every term of our crlmicp.l '
courts has been crowded with lnnam- !
erable cases of small Import and our
time and money both have been wast
ed. The Recorder's ('our# net only
expedites a great deal of business but
eleare the **y ? f.n~ rnuro Important
work of the Superior Court.
In the establishment of such a court
and Its working, cut from the stage of
experiment to one of real usefulness
Judge G. M. Beam has rendered Frank
lin County a very patriotic service.
He has been 'serving by appointment.
During the coming primary I shall
cast my vote for Mr. Be. m in recogni
tion of his service under what must
have been very trying conditions. It
is to be hoped that the voters of
Franklin County will do likewise and
show their appreciation of a public
servant who serves faithfully.
For the past several years the writer
has had close personal and business
relations with Mr. Ber.tn and can bear
testimony to his Integrity, his close
application to business, his splendid
qualities of clean living and good fel
lowship.
Very truly.
