FRANKLIN COUNTY'S OP
PORTUNITY
It lias been well said that opportu
nity knocks at each man's door at
least once. Franklin County's real
opportunity Is now knocking. We
might have been sure that it has been
hire betore. Possibly it has. But
not In such a great capacity to do good
to the great number of girls in North
Carolina and Franklin County espec
ially, as it Is now ottering. There is
nothing to our minds any more im
portant than giving to our boys and
girls a real good christian education.
It broadens their vision and concep
tion in lite and causes them to get real
pleasure out of their dally tasks,
where without it only embarrassment
and disappointment await them in the
years ahead. You would tot leave un
done anything in your power that will
relieve a physical embarrassment to
your daughter In the fixture. There
fore be equally careful not to leave
undpne that which will bring them
mental embarrassment or render them
leas capable than their neighbor.
Franklin County has a glorious oppor
tunity to contribute happiness to the
lives of all the young girls whose
priviloge "It will be to attend 'Louis
burg College. _
Besides' it is a golden opportunity
tor the parents of Franklin County to
make a gilt edge investment. One
that will return the greatest possible
dividend. It is easily possible tor any
girl In Franklin County to attend this
institution and return home at night.
This means that In addition to a sav
ing of over $300.00 per year as com
pared with sending them off to board
ing school, It will give you your girls
at home to be umier yonr own home
Influence. In view of the fact that
they get two years training here that
will be credited by any College on the
regular course it means a money sav
ing to each family of $600.00 for each
girl they have to educate, and a value
in home Influence that cannot be meas
ured in. dollars and cents.
And then it would be such a credit
to our county. Did you ever experi
ence the thrill of hearing people say
nice things about something you had
helped to. provide or promote? Well
your pride in Greater Loulsbnrg Col
lege will not stop'&t the abundance of
satisfaction you will get out of it but
It will be handed down to your pos
terity .and yocr contribution will be a
monument more lasting than the tomb
stone the same amount of money
would buy to be placed at your grave
when you are laid to rest.
Lets build a monument that will
tell our posterity that we believe In
Christian education and ryogress and
let it be a beacon to them In search of
a bigger, broader and mote abundant
life.
Everybody is contributing to Great
er Louisburg College. Don't be last
with yours.
The Democratic Convention In New

The little child in Gaston County

TO the voters of franklin.
C0C5TX. ' 5 ?
Just a word to you on the ere ot the
Second Primary concerning my J r lend
Mr. O. M. Beam who is on the ticket
as a candidate tor the Recorder's
Court Judge ot Franklin-County .
I have been knowing Mr. Beam since
1912, and my acquaintance grew into
friendship almost immediately tor to
know him is to love him. Mr. Beam
graduated from Wake Forest College
in 1912 with 13. A. degree and a year
later received his M. A. *degroe, after
which he migrated to Fracklln County
and begun teaching school and teught
four years, then he received his law
license and has since been practicing
in Loulsburg.
He Is a clean Christ ".n gentleman,
one who believes in every thing that's
good and progressive, a friend who Is
never lacking tor a iiearty handshake
and smile and does not have to defend
his record.
There has never been an election to
this important office in Franklin
County, only an appointment, and Mr.
Beam having received this appoint
ment has filled the cftice with credit.
Now he is due an election, rnd to be
trank about the matter, I don't believe
that you could select a citixen from
the County who has the work of the
office mere at heart.
Yours truly,
7-4-lt E. C. SEXTON.

The American Cotton Association
Boll Weevil Control Campaign has es

follows:
Contest No. l.^J. O Wilson, R 1.
Bunn, N. C.; W. T. J. Eaton. R 2
Franklinton, N. C.: Contest No. 2.
J. C. McKnlght. R 1. Kittrell. N. C.;
J. H. Fuller, R l, Loulsburg, N. C.
The methods to be employed on
these farms throughout the season
as to land preparation) fertilisation,
width of rows, spacing of plants, cul
tivation and poisoning for weevil
control, will conform to the best prac
tical plans used by successful cotton
growers in the weevil Infested areas
of the cotton belt.
Under Contest No. 1 the Association
furnishes, free of cost to the operators,
the necessary booklets of instruction
and a diary to keep a complete record
of the crop (including detailed coat of
production), as well as the necessary
poisons and apparatus for applying
same. In addition to this, a competent
field agent is employed In each State
whose duty it is to periodically visit
each demonstration farm, check up
the progress of the work, report the
condition of the crop and render what
ever aid may be possible to the opera
tors and to the growers generally.
Contest No. 2 embraces all of the
privileges, advantages, etc.. of Contest
No. l, with the exception of free pois
ons and the apparatus for applying
same.
8 everal hundred of these practical
demonstration farms have been located
In the various cotton growing states
this year to teach the farmers In a
simple and economic way how to check
the weevil infestation and produce
profitable yields of cotton. Thousands
of farmers are being assisted in this
work In the eleven cotton growing
weevil Infested states.
Fourteen cash prizes, aggregating
12,000. will be awarded to farmers
by the Association this year operating
their farms under Contests Nos. 1
and 2. as an encouragement and sti
mulus to aid in the success of the
work. The literature and cooperation
of the Association are available to
every cotton grower who makes ap
plication for same to the American

trol ever established and successfully

Watch the Franklin County Demon
stration Farms
The cotton growers of FVanklln
County are urged to visit the cotton
demonstration farms In theirrespec
tlve communities for weevil control
this season which are to be operated
by the farmers named above. Liquid
poisons aBd dry calcium arsenate will
be used throughout the season. The
first applications will be made with
a mop during the month of May and
early part of June, and as the cotton
limbes out, a hand power spraying
pump or dusting machine will be used,
as they come Into the fields after the
crops is chopped to a stand, and by
stopping the early cycle of propaga
tion of the Insects, a good crcp of
cotton can be matured by August 1st,
[even If migration causes Infestation
from other fields not treated and used
to breed the Insects.
These demonstration farms wher
ever located are intended to be used
