APPRECIATION
The County Commissioners and the
people of Franklin county hare cause
to (eel proud of the results of the
campaign vaccination against typhoid
fevor In the county. Our Health Of
ficer has for several years persuaded
our commissioners to have this work
and as a result from the large num
ber of people who took advantage of
the gift from the county wo have al
most eliminated this disease from our
land. There hasn't been but six cases
In the county this year. The writer
remembertr one year when two of the
Doctors living in Loulsburg were prac
ttcing together, had sixty-five cases
In town. Thank goodness th?t time
has gone forever. Just think of the
expense, distress and death that mnst
have been caused by that condition.
That was the state in thl I one town
.flt lxtul<burg. No telling what It was
all over the country. The money ex
pense of that one year from typhoid
ferer must have reached to a mint of
eo*t In hard cash, not considering the
other distressing holocaust of trou
ble. We commend the Board of Com
missioners and congratulate the
health officer and all the physicians
who entered lata this work with In-,
terest and efficiency and such good
?access. No less good results did
note. Let us thank God ar-' all good
workers In the public health of our
county and offer congratulations to
MR8. LULA .D. EGERTON, Chatr'n.
Board of Sanitation of Woman's Club.
DEATH OF COBBETT CASH
On Tuesday evening, October 21,
1924, at 4 o'clock the death angels
visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. El
tert Cash, near Lotilsburg, and took
from them their oldest son, Obrbett
Hoy. He had been sick for only a short
while with that dreadful disease pneu
monla. Physicians and nurses did all
they could but all was in vain. We
often wonder why God taken the young
aud pure and leaves the sinful, but
we know It Is for the best, for he doath
all things well for tUH that lore Him.
He had been a faithful member of
Flat Rock Baptist church for several
years and will be sadly missed.
The funeral services war* held at
Flat Rock church Wednesday evening
I conducted by Rev. J. A. Mclver, assist -
|ed by his pastor Rev. C. B. Howard,
i after which the remains were tender
ly 1*14 to rest In Flat Rock Cemetery..
The floral tribute was protMe and
beautiful, and spoke a love anB es
teem impossible for words.
Ha lkavav to m^urn their loss ?
father, mother, seven "brothers, mm
cor many invited to attend.

RECORD DELIVERY
AT CO-OPS HOUSES
Organised Virginia Earners Xoblllw
For 16 Rallies? Victory In Court.
(S. D. Frlssell)
The largest deliveries of the season
reached the Tobacco Growers Coop
erative Association last week when
the organized farmers of the old to.
bacco belt of Virginia and North Car
olina brought In more Ui%n 3,000.000
pounds of the weed t& the coopera
tive warehouses.
New members are steadily joining
the tobacco association and exactly
940 new contracts hava reached Ral.
eigh headquarters within three
months. Several hundred of these
contracts are for the crops of 1925
and 1926 and were signed after the
opening of the cooperative ware
houses had made It clear to many
farmers that the advances and loans
of the marketing associations were
decidedly to their advantage as com
pared to current prices on many of
the auction markets.
.An important case was decided in
favor of the tobacco association last
week when Judge B. E. Long in the
Superior Court of Person County, N. C.
ruled that there Is no escaping the
obligations of a contract with the as
sociation by means of a mortgage or
seizure of a member's tobacco by
claim and delivery.
}n this case the defendant present,
ed as a defense against suit for dam
ages for breach of his contract In 1923,
a $5,700 mortgage under which the
mortgagee had aeixed the tobacco by
claim and delivery and disposed of it.
Judge Long held that onl a legal
impossibility, such as an act of God,
would excuse non-delivery. Hb also
held that the contract does not waive
the association's right to collect dam
ages for non-delivery f mortgaged to
bacco,
Thld rnling !s the first on this point
in a jury case in North Carolina and
is in accordance with similar rulings
by the Supreme Courts of Kansas and
Kentucky* and every circuit court in
Virginia to which the point has been
presented.
Dark-fired tobacco growers of Vlr.
ginla who are members of the tobac
co association will divide a payment
of a million and a quarter dollars next
week. The association opens sixteen
more warehouses for delivery of dark
fired tobacco by Virginia members on
November 18.
Walton Peteet, representing a mil
lion organized farmers of the mark
eting associations for tobscco. cotton,
wheat and other croos. as secretary
of the National Council of Farmer's]
Cooperative Marketing Associations, I
will address a mass meeting of orga- I
nlzed Virginia growers In Lynchburg.
November 8. Other mass meetings of
ihe Virginia dark fired tobacco grow,
ers who delivered 59 per cent of the
1923 crop of their state, will be held
at fifteen other markets In Virginia
next Saturday.
