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.

Tiikp >'o New Members III 1921 After |
Assn. .Markets Open
(S. D. 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? Y111 be closed for deliveries of
the 19-4 crop by new members on the
opening dates of other belts which
have been announced as follows: East,

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.

This baa beeti a season of uncer

Spring and gammer ordinarily
breed optimism, but this year they
proved to be the moot diabolical In a
dozen years, conspiring to delay
crops and make much replanting ne
cessary.
However, conditions might be much
worse for the tiller of the soil. Many
