All members are urgently requested to be present promptly on time. ? * * * # * Meet your friends at Franklin Coun ty Fair nextweck. On the strength qI the government report of a 55 4-10 per cent crop this week cotton took an upward course. Mortimer X. King and Frank Harrell have been sentenced to be electrocuted on November 21st, for killing Maj. Samuel McLeary. A Just sentence rightly Imposed. Secretary Fleming Informs the TIMES he expects to have the best fair ever exhibited in Louisburg next week. Be sure and go and see what your neighbors are doing. Gaston Means denies all the state ments he made against Daugherty in the investigation. This action gives strength to his testimony as most people doubted him at the time. Hon. O. Max Gardner is to be given credit for the best slogan of the cam paign "Keeping cold with Coolidge." The family who has to buy Coal can appreciate this all the more. The late news dispatches say that Germany has voted to enter the League of Nations. A wise move. The few re maining countries that are out could profit by such action. Every farmer we saw or heard of on the local tobacco market Tuesday was well pleased with the sales. This speaks well for lx>uisburg market and should be a "hint to the wise" to other growers. A special term of Nash Superior Court has been called to try the Joy tier murder case and to clear the con *? gestlon of the criminal docket. A speedy copviction and sentence of the guilty parties wills add much to the infuence of the courts In this section.

The man who owns his home Is a much better American citizen than be who has no such In terests. Let it be hoped that some means may be worked out whereby our large estates will be converted into small individually owned homes. A missionary to China In writing of the difficulties confronted by the Christian preacher and teacher, says that these men and women are con fronted by a constant backfire of questions from the alert Chinaman of today. Among these questions are: "How do you explain the miracles? Doyou believe the divinity of Jesus was from within or without? Explr.in Jesus' consciousness of divinity? How can the death of one man really save anyone else from sin? Are heaven and hell concrete or abstract and how do you know? How can you prove it? In the light of the present situation In the West, how can you prove the efficiency of Christianity in develop. Ing a moral and spiritual civilization? How about the oil scandal and Chris tianity? How about modern business and Christianity in China? How can you prove Christianity is adapted to the Chinese mind?" It is very evident' that only men and women who are well established in the faith, and so well equipped intellectually that they can give a reason for their faith, need go to China as Christian missionaries. ? Christian Advocate. It Is easily possible that to answer some of the qijestlons conscientiously would become exceedingly embarrass ing. No doubt we need the missionary work about as bad or worse than the heathen. Certainly we have less excuse for doing wrong. DR. J. W. PEACOCK IS CAPTURED CALIFORNIA Trail of Notorious Fugitive From State Prison Ends At A1 Cajon When Warden Bus bee Surprised Him: Govern or Signed Extradition Pa ! pers Week Ago; Peacock Will Fight Return To State; Has Been Tracked By Pris on Agents For Two Years Kaleigh, Sept. 22. ? Dr. J, W. Pea cock. who escaped from the Criminal Insane ward of the State prison Au gust 30, 1022, while serving a life sentence for the murder of Chief of Police J E. Taylor in Thomasville in April, 1921_ was captured in El Cajon, California Sunday by Warden S. J. Busbee. who left Raleigh a week ago for California upon information that Peacock was practicing medicine in a little town near Los Angeles. His family was living with him. Extradition papers signed by Gov ernor Morrison a week ago yesterday accompanied Warden Busbee. Pea cock is being held in the Jail ' in Cajon. and has given notice that he will fight extradition. Governor Mor rison give Warden Busbee full au thority to employ necessary counsel to represent the State In any action that Peacock migh brin g to resist his return to the prison here. The court records In the case have been forwarded to California. In fobs and Mexico The trail of the fugitive has led agents of the State prison all over America, to Cuba and to Mexico In the tw0 years since Peacock swung himself to freedom from the third story of the prison here, with five bed sheets strung together after he had cut the bars of his cell with a small hack Raw. The saw is believed to have been sneaked Into his cell In the covers of a heavy volume sent to him from bis library in Thomas ville. ? Six months after he escaped he was located In Florida and extradition proceedings started against him, but pending the action he disappeared. Secret agents of the prison located him again In Cuba, but before ac tion could be brought against him he had again disappeared. The trail was next picked up In New York City, then In New Mexico, then In I Mexico, again In Arizona, and then In Los Angeles. !???? In Politics 1 Lost May, when tha Bute primary campaign wan at It* height, and J. W. Bailey, then a candidate for Governor, was attacking the prison administration In his speeches for alleged failure to recapture escaped prtaonera and naming the Peacock case as an example, officials of the prison were momentarily expecting to announce his capture, but he again eluded them.

This is an Imposing struc ture and one of the historical monu ments of English genius. Its numer ous naves, transcrepts and chapels are like an open book with the names and monuments o f the men and women that have so great a place in the an nals of the past On Monday, aftersee ing the endless sights of thl^great | city, the long streets, with buildings averaging five stories in height, many of them centuries old. We were struck with the absence of Jews and Jew names over the store doors, and'aslt ed where all the Jews were, and were told that all of them had gone to New York. Some of the stores have been run in the same name and place many generations. Many of them date back three hundred years. The De Wars distillery has been running in the same place and by the same family 350 years, and making the same erarfp of Scotch whiskey. No one seems to want prohibition in London. The hard est thing to get there is a good drink of water. "Its water, water every where and not a drop to drink," but bars and beer gardens, everywhere well patronized, at about the same prices as in the States twenty years ago. Many of the stone buildings are black, soiled and dingy with age. Only one skyscraper In London and that was built by an 'American and is called his folly. On Tuesday the 22nd, we went out to Wembley and isaw the exhibition of Great Britlan and all of her colonies, the most uni que and wonderful show ever seen, covering several hundred acrea. Each colony is represented. Each one oc cupying a large and commodious building of its own. In the Canada building we saw a life size eques trian statue ol the Prince of Wales,' made entirely of butter, with all the surroundings also of same material enclosed In a glass room and kept at freezing point. The most wonder* ful exhibit of the Flora Fauna fruits, minerals, arts and science ever seen in one collection. Landscape paintings on waving canvass portrayed the na' tural beauty of mountains, plains and sea "coasts. A visit to one of the build ings and seeing the exhibits was just like a visit to the colony ItBelf. We were so Impressed that we paid three visits r to 'Wembley. We gazed upon the gorgeous beauties of West Cana . dian mountains scenery, revisited the wonders I saw in 1922, and then went to Australia our Antipedes filled with gold cattle and kangaroos, the land of fruits where the trees shed their bark instead of leaves. This is a con tinent as large as the United States, with a population of 7,500,000 and one | third live in Sydney, its princiDal citv. We then went to 8outh Africa, saw | the diamond mines of Klmherley at] work with the native Kaffina and Zulus. Raw the beauties and fortifi cations of Cape Town then saw all the animals that Roosevelt shot and discrlbed in his African game trails. We saw the natives of every tribe from the pigmies to the cannibals, captured and brought to be shown to the world. We went then to India and Bnrmah Ceylon and Hong Kong all with wonderful exhibits. Then New Zealand with Its native maorl types, with a cinema showing the scenic wonders of the Islands. 1 was more attracted by the exhibits, of wild animals from the Ugandl and Mom boKA so thoroughly described by that wonderful natural historian Theodore Roosevelt. On Tuesday night your scribe with about 100 American law. yera dined at Cray's Inn, an ancient centre Und Tmple of the common law, the Invitation coming from the Trea sures and Benchers of the First Inns of Court and tbe President and Conn- 1 dl of the Law Society. At tbla dinner we met the leaders of the Knglleh and Canadian bara, and after a most ela borate fire course dinner, we >11 drank from a large loving cop to "The Plooa, Qlorloua and Immortal memory of Good Queen Bees." Among the wine* nerved *u Ma derlr, Bural 1848. The above toaat waa to Queen Elizabeth because ahe allowed the Benchera of Gray'* Inn to bring In their foreign wine* and Uqnora tax free. Earl of Birkenhead prealded and made a speech of wel come to the American gue*t?. The Earl of Birkenhead la one of the brightest men In England. He haa been Lord Chancellor, which office change* with the mtnletry, when the outgoing Chancellor retire* on a pension of S.000 pound* a year. After dinner we bad a match of wit and eloquence be tween the Engllah and American law yer*. Gray'* Inn Hall 1* centurle* old, and little or no change has been made In it lor the past 300 years. , . Earl Birkenhead was the son of a blacksmith, and by virtue of bis tal. ants attained the highest rank in his profession. None of the English men We heard were in his class as a clear thinker and talker. ; -Wednesday afternoon we attended ? garden party at Llncolu's Inn Gard ens with 2000 present, with everything to eat and drink that American ap petites could suggest. When we left, we knew we hadbeen in the Halls of our Kin and Friends. That night we went to a dinner and reception given bjy the Mayor of Westminister and mayoress at Caxton Hail ? Councillor Ettgar Home, J. P. Mayor. After re ception, dinner and concert we were shown the Westminister Abby Plate 2W.years old, wlth a large silver lov lag cup given In 1688 with a lot of maces, badges and snuff boxes. Then we., saw and had explained 112 oil paintings, illustration of the history ami topography of the city. This was onjrof the grandest events that passed in rapid succession during our stay in this great city. But the greatest of all *as appointed for Thursday even ing. We received an invitation in the following words: "The Lord Cham berlains is commanded by their ma jesties to Invite Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Person to an afternoon party In the garden of Buckingham Palace on Thursday the- 24th of July, 1S24 from 4 t*?6:30 p. m. (weather permitting) marfttito^ dress." On arriving we found hbflbl four acres of silk hats, In fact eve*! tnan I saw but one was so dress ed. :Jijilny had on gloves and' spats. It waA?*ald that the Americans bought all' cfle Hrfl> hats In- the cltv The King, Queen and Prince of Wal? were presented at the pavilion until 6 o'clock when 'they sthrted to the palace between Upesof visitors on each side to see thekn. The King is a small man about, the size of Dr. W. W. Staley, and the Queen about four inches taller, very handsome and looked a Queen. We were standing about half way to the palace and as Queen Mary paired by she come over and shook hands with the scribe, and with a gracious air, said she was glad to welcome me to her country. . Thursday night We attended the last of the receptions given at the Grocers Hall, presided over by Sir Ernest M. Pallock, propt. K B. E. Grocers Hall was first founded in 1180 and the pres ent building Is the fourth on the same site. At this great reecptton all the notables wore their decorations. Gen erals, Admirals, Chancellors, Lords, Dukes, and Coithts and their wives all met and greeted us as brothers of the same blood, as well as brothers in the law. Hfere wines, brandies and good fellowship flowed and mingled until midnight when we bade good bye to our learned and noble hosts impressed with the fact that the En glishmen, with their accomplishments are the greatest people on earth. The King has no rower, noi half aB much a a ouf president, but is simply the s6clal4 leader. It Is a constitutional monaffchy ruled by tlie aristocrats. As a rule a man never rises above the class and circle In which he is born, unless by reason of his brain power and leadership, he Is admitted Into the ruling .classes like tkavld Loyd George and the Earl of Birken head.

The one big outstanding point In fitting any class of livestock for show Is feeding. Other things are Important but If animals are hot prop erly fed and conditioned, no amount of grooming and preparation will make them look their best in the show-ring. It is essential to condition an ani mal gradually. Of course no one should have dairy cattle fat when taken to the fair. This will not only cause them to look beefy but may Injure their future usefulness as breeders. But there Is a lot of dif ference between fat and proper flesh. Ing. Dairy cattle should carry enough flesh- to make Ihem full and smoth and show at their best, but never fat enough to look beefy ihd patchy, Hhow Tour Animal 1 Last but not least, show your ani mal. Keep It posed from the time you enter the ring until you tie It Bp again In th? barn. The Short time you spend In the ring Is what you hare worked tor In getting your animal in condition. Ton owe It to your animal your breed and yourself as a breeder to keep your animal showing to ad vantage all tha time. Never take your eye from your animal. Concent >-ate on your job even when the judge is look ing oVer somebody else's animal. When the ribbons are placed, lead your animal from the ring with Its head up and showing at Its best. Prob ably some prospective purchaser or some man who Is Interested has plac ed your animal higher In his own mind than did the judge. Don't disap point the ringside, but lead your ani mal out with the same confidence you led It in. Let's take our exhibits to the fair this year In the best shapepossible. Then let's show them for all we are worth You'll get more out of It than ever before. B. W.
