Let everybody boost Louisburg's to bacco and cotton markets. Louisburg's building fever seems to be spreading. Chain the fellow who has the serum that will stop It. It we all believe iialt as much In Loulsburg as we would have others think we do, what a town we would have. Yesterdays predictions show that the Legislature would pioaabiy reter the ship questiou to a vote of the peo ple. Nothing safer can be done. Reports show that Greensboro has sold Sl.035,000.00 in bonds for the best price made In years. Glad to know there is yet some money In circulation. A headline reads "Wayne has faith In road policy.1' Many other counties would also if they could feel that they had had a square deal in the proper location of roads. North Carolina is getting more aud more before the world. One of the latest t enlevements is the shipping of two ca." loads of leaches to England. This shipment is supposed to jrri>'e In two weeks. Labor seems to be taking an active part in the Interest of the election of the LaFollette-Wheeler tickct. The ticket will gain many votes by such activities on the part of labor. And will no doubt lose many f r the same reason. Judge Caverly, of Chicago, says he will determine the punishment (or the Leopold and Loeb boys. If he wants to build confidence in the justice of the legal system of the United States he will sentence them to be hanged. The North Carolina General Assem bly convened yesterday in special ses sion. The Governor is expected to deliver his messape today. Lets hope the members will not forget that they are supposed to be representing the people of the State. There is no doubt but that the par- 1 ties caught in Friday's raid thought that Louisburg being a small place they could get by with their immor ality, but the chances are they will learn that our officers are on the job and that our citizenry Is backing them to the limit on such expositions. The establishment of City delivery for Louisburg is now waittng on the name-plates for the streets at the cor ners. the numbers being placed on the buildings and the securing of meil receptacles by; the patrons. It will not be established until these require ments are met. The ^jtizens should get busy and see that these require ments are provided at once. Mall re ceptacles are now in stock at the hard ware stored or you- can make them. The City proposes to pwt up the name plates and number the buildings. Lets get busy and provide these before some other town steps In and takes our place as only two towns in this district can get this service and the other is making provision fcr it. Its ACT now or MISS it. Ttse edttor of the TIMES Had the pleasure of beb(g shown over the new Frankllnton Public School bulldtpg on last Monday, In company wl{? the Board of Education. That the build ing is a model built large enough for practical use Is a happy realization. Too much has not been said of this magnificent piece of architecture nor of the beautiful spirit it represents A most striking feature of the build ing is the geheroslty of the arrange ments and thoroughly practicability of every detail Another feature that appeals to the observer Is the abun< dance of light, both natural and artU ilclal. Something that too many bail dings have entirelj too little of. We feel proud of the fact that such a buil ding is located within . the borders of Fraakjta County. 10W PBICB AVERAGE rm leaf tobacco ladepeMeati of WMtovifle AvoTage .

Frlssell) The Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association opened Us 40 warehouses in South Carolina and the border coun ties last Tuesday by maintaining the same advances as last year on most grades of tobacco delivered by Its mem bers and by doubling the first cash advance on lowest grades. This year's opening of the coopera tive houses was the most successful in the history of the association, and its members who carried tobacco to their own houses last Tuesday took back their checks for the first advance of 1924 and, in addition, divided the $792,000 which brought their total re ceipts to exactly seven-eights of the bankers' valuation on their 1923* de liveries. , In view of the enormous production of last year in the South Carolina belt and the Inferior quality of thiB year's, crop, asoclatlon members seemed every where to be highly pleased with this year's advances, and particularly so at a number of points where a com parison of the auction houses and co operative Doors proved very favorable to the association. Numbers of new members signed up with the association *t various mark ets. taking advantage of the two weeks Which remained in which farmers of South Carolina who are not members of the association will be given the opportunity to place their 1924 -croD in the pool. i ~ No tobacco of the 1924 crop will be accepted from new members after August 20 In South Carolina and bord er counties, according to the recent statement of the association's direc tors who announced that they have made arrangements to handle the 1924 deliveries on the basis of the present membership. Except for the slight extension of time allowed to the association's mem bers of South Carolina, membership *"?ok?

SETTLING THE BIG ISSUE It is unfortunate that the question of the Ku Klux Klan should have been considered by Democratic Na tional Convention. The matter of dealing with the Klan is In no sense political, and reference to the body in a party platform Is wholly beside the point. If the organization is or becomes a menace to society, proper action against it can be taken by -the various States of the Union The Federal government, so far a a we can Bee. has nothing whatever to do with Bitter discussion of the Klan in the national convention has done the par ty no good. It Is certain that ani mosities have been engendered which will be reflected in the presidential campaign. If the aim of the Demo cratic party was harmony within Its ranks, It has gone dhout securing that harmony In a very peculiar way The delegates opposed to mention ing the Klan by name in the party platform have . won. but theirs Is a hollow victory. It makes little dif ference whether it Is referred to as * ''secret society" or ad the Ku Klux Klan, the mischief ha* been done in considering the matter at all. The nst result of all the discussion Is t hat ^old hatreds have been stirred as It never ?a* b<?f<\re since iu organiza tion.

Lenoir at Yadkin Valley In this county has found that the proper use of lime and le gumes will Increase his wheat yield from eight bushels to eighteen bushels per acre, report* County Agent D. 11 Roberts of the State College Exten sion division. ; "It came about this way," says Mr. Roberta.
