GOLD SAND SCHOOfc,
ELECTION CARRIED
yi
The Fathers and Mothers Of This Oh
trlet Decided To Give Their Boys
and GDIs An Equal Opportunity With
the Other Boys and Girls D? Frank.
Un County
On Monday, January 18th, the Oold
8and Special raxing District, compos
ed of two townships, Gold Mine and
Sandy Creek, roted a 60c local tax for
the purpose of running an eight
months school and for the erection,
repairing and equipping all the neces
sary school buildings in these two
townships The election was carried
by one of the largest majorities that
Franklin County has ever known, 839
were registered, and 664 voted In fa
vor of the school program. This
school program carries with it the
troctlon of g pew building at Mt.
Grove, a twelve room higi school
balding at Odd Sand, a new building
at Wood, ?nd additions do qenlervlle
and Moulton Hayes. All thp schools
will be run eight months beginning
with the fall of 1926 and the building
program will begin just as soqn as the
money can be secured from the State
Building Fund. An active campaign
has been carried on In this district for
the past four weeks and the result of
the election on the 18th shown with
what success the workers In this cam- |
paign met. Unforeseen - barriers
loomed up Monday morning when the i
polls opened. A "down-pour" of rain,!
i ad roads that can be described only i
Ly those who are familiar with this |
se. i,on. It certainly shows what keen'
inic. ,st these people felt in their boys |
ana &.. is to get 664 voters to the polls.
The mothers and fathers of this dlsr i
trlct have thus decided to give to their
boys and girls a standard high school
and what will soon be a standard ele
mentary school In riding oe walk
ing distance of every child In thla ter
ritory. iff'
On the 9th of February Hgyesville
township will vote on its school pro
gam. There is no doubt but what the
the election will carry in favor of its
boys and girls. When this isi done
every township In the county except
Harris and the Flat Rock district will
have an eight months school tekm with
comfortable And sanitary school build'
ings. The boys and girls in ^Harris
township and the Flat Rock district
deserveae -good school training ha the
boys and girls of Cedar Rock, Bunn or
elsewhere. We do not believe that the
good people of this township will be|
satisfied for their children to have
the advantage of a six month school
term with poor buildings and no equip,
ment, while the children of the other
townships are having an eight months
term with modem and well equipped
buildings. The school authorities
stand In readiness to cooperate with
the people of this territory In' Securing
for them an equal educatlodl oppor- -
tunity with the other sections of the'
county. According to the county-wide
plan a ten-room brick building will
be erected somewhere neari Hagwood's
Cross Roads to take the place of New
Hope, Royal, Math Rock and Rlleys.
This has the possibility of being the
largest and strongest el#nentary
school in the county.' Repairs and ad
ditions will be made at Rock Springs.
All of this .territory will have Bunn
as Its central high school. When this
territory votes a 60c local tax it will
become a part of the Bunn Special
Taxing District.
KB. COLE SAVAGE CONDUCTED
SERVICES AT BAfTIST CHURCH
Those who attended the services at
the Baptist Church Sufday night will.
I am sure, bare me* out when I say
that such an evening of tteilglous
worship will not be forgotten and the
thought carried home In the minds
of all present will not be forgotten
In a measure. *
Our pastor at the morning service
stated that he eould not be present
for the evening services and casting
his eyes about and over his hearers
let them drop on our friend Mr. Cole
Savage. Ife then announced that Mr.
Savage would conduct the aervloes for
the evening. This was news to Mr.
?Basses as well as to the people.
Mr. Savage brought a real ga***age.
He referred to James 14 through ttth.
He touched the hearts of many of us
When he reasoned with us about our
daith. Faith alone rannot save ma
Faith Is shown by our works gad not
what we profess to be and faith with
out works is dead. Ha drew a Wonder
ful picture of a true christian. His
Interpretation of the scriptures were
so plain that even a little child could
understand. He pictured a christian
as the world would look upon him.
His last picture was as his fallow
christian would know him. By his
works I know him and not by the
words of his mouth.
Mr. 8avage accomplished his pur
pose beautifully. None of his hearers
regret they heard him. We afe glad
we have Mr. Savage as our friend and
christian.
His outline mlghf read as follows:
I. The worlds faith in me as a man
comes thrdugh my works.
II. The worlds faith in me as a
Christian comes through my works.
III. The Christian faith Id me
comes through ntf works.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
A fatal automobile accident, waa
providentially averted Monday morn
ing when Mr. Malcolm McKlnne's
Ford sedan and Dr. J. B. Davis' Ford
coupe collided at the crossing of Sun
set avenue and Church street, badly
damaging both cars and bruising the
occupants.
Mr. McKinne was driving his car
taking his daughter, Miss Olivia, to
school, and Dr. Davis' car was being,
driven by his brother and contained
several colored children.
The accident waa so unexpected
and was not witnessed so we learn,
that it is almost Impossible to tell
bow It happened However, we un
derstand. Mr. McKinne was driving
east oh Sunset avenue and Dr. Davis'
car waa going north on Church street.
After the Impact Mr. McKlnne's car
waa minus a rear right wheel and
was turned around facing opposite to
the wsy he wss traveling and turn
ed over while Dr. Davis' car had
swerved, struck a telephone pole and
turned about one fourth around. We
understand the telephone pole was
broken from the force of the stroke.
Mr. McKinne says he especially look
ed for approaching vehicles before he
attempted to cross the street and had
lust wiped his windshield clear of the
rain.
'It was most providential that no
lives were lost as It seems Impossible
that such a wreck could happen and
all the parties come out alive. Both
cars were frractlcally demolished.

RECEIVERSHIP TOBACCO |
ASSOCIATION ASKED FORI
Former Senator Demands That Di
rectors Be Beqalred to Be par Ex
cessive Amounts He Bars 'Were
Paid For Salaries, Warehouses,
Expense Items, Lawyer's Fees and
Be drying and Also Asks That Bert
hages On Tobacco Hew On Ha
Be Set Aside; Proceeding Started
In Franklin County Superior Court
The Trl-State Tobacco Co-opera
tive Association was yesterday order
ed by Judge M. V. BarnhiU to appear
before Judge Thomas H. Calvert in
chambers at Raleigh on Friday, Feb
ruary 5, to show causes why it should
not be dissolved and a receiver ap
pointed -to wind up its affairs.
The order, which was signed on1
the basis of a vitrollc complaint filed!
by Wiley M. Ffcrson, former State J
Senator from Franklin county, directs
the association to file the fOUowtag
information with the Clerk of Frank
lin County Superior Court in ton days;
"(1.) Amounts paid for attorneys
fees, to whom paid and for what pur
pose and amounts collected by judg
ments and compromises from contract
breakers.
"(2.) The amounts agreed to be,
paid for warehouses bought and leased
in the Old Belt district.
"(2.) The amounts paid newspa-}
pers for advertising propaganda and
publicity agents.
"(4.) The list of directors from
1922 to present date.
"(5.) The list of salaried officers
and the amounts paid them.
"?.) What directors were plaoed
on salary, and the salary paid them." I
The complaint also seeks to have
mortgages alleged to exist upon 80,-1
i 000,000 pounds of tobacco now held'
by the association set aside as fraud- j
ulent and to have members released
from the obligation to deliver any'
more tobacco to the association.
Wants Directors to Pay. -
Mr. Person declares that the direc
tors of the association are not only
civilly but criminally liable aa well
for the alleged mismanagement of the
association and accuses them of "a I
saturnalia of waste and extravagance
unheard rf in all our industrial growth1
and development."
It is charged specifically that a mp-,
JuMly -of the directors placed them-'1
selves on the salary list and gave
themselves and other employes salar
ies ranging from $4,000 to $40,000, it
being alleged that the salaries were
three or four times as much as the
same individuals ever received before.
In addition it la charged that oyer and
above the $100,000 in profits alleged
by Dr. Clarence Poe to have been re-.
celved by R. R. Patterson, T. C. Wat
kins and 2S other officials of the as
sociation that unconscionable sums
were spent for publicity and propa
ganda for automobiles and other ex
pense items and that there was waste
and squandering and waste in connec
tion with the buying and leasing of
, warehuoses.
A? To lawyer*' Fmi.
The complaint calls for refunds on
all exceasive salaries and all of the
above Items which are termed "fraud
and graft."
In regards to lawyers' fees the com
plaint says:
"That In utter disregard of the law
and the trusts Imposed la the direct
ors and the rights of the membership
growers, the defendant association
has been negligently wasteful and
recklessly extravagant In the money
paid attorneys.
"The friendly committee appointed
to Investigate and report said, 'the
expenses of the legal department have
been extremely heavy, and the com-"
mfttee feels that salaries and fees
paid to several attorneys too liberal.'
That defendant paid out In IMS 996,
000 and In 1229 9126,000 and to Mr.
Sapfro as he has been Informed $110,
000, totalling 9920,000 and Instituted
900 suits at a cost of 9290.00 per suit,
which waste and negligence Is enough
to shock the conscience of the chan
cellor, and this does not Include the
lafge amounts collected by Judgment
and compromise from contract break
ers. none of which was .turned into the
treasury, but was added to the above
amounts. The legal department whs
wrongfully and unlawfully converted
Into a collecting agency for attorney's
fees and often the tees demanded were
twice as much as the damages sought
All of which conduct was unlawful
and that tf the amounts so expended
are at. least two hundred thousand
(9200,000) more than they had a right
to spend, and the said directors should
account for and pay to the member
ship, the said above amount so unlaw
fully expended and the fees collelted
by judgment and compromises from
the contract breakers, which amount
to a very large sum."
Averring that the association Is In
solvent and unable to pay member
growers for the 20,000,000 pounds of
tobacco now on hand, which are al
leged to be mortgaged for full mark
et value, the complaint cites the re
cent report of the Federal Trade Com
mission In support of the charge that
the operations of the aseodation have
been "so contrary to law end the
primal Instincts of honesty and show
luch a wanton disregard for their du
ties as to Justify an Immediate die

COLE SAVAGE
SPEAKS TO FARMERS
At Sight School Conducted At the
Franklin ton Public School BnlkU
in*
By C. R. Bohunan,
Teacher of Vocational Agriculture.
Cole Savage, former Farm Agent of
Franklin County spoke to twenty-fire
farmers at the regular meeting of the
Agricultural night school Tuesday
night of last week.
During the past year Mr. Savage
conducted a number of fertilizer dem
onstrations on cotton, and his talk
was on results from the demonstra
tions. ,
There were four divisions to each
plot, nitrate of soda, cotton seed meal,
commercial fertiliser and no fertilizer
at all.
Nitrate of soda showed the great
est yield of them all. The ordinary
commercial fertilizer showed an in
creased yield over cotton seed meal.
Mr. Savage mentioned many Interest
ing facts about cotton fertilisers and
also about the experiments tried ig
Franklin county.
The meeting was of special inter
est because the results shown were
found here at honie. Various ferti
lizer demonstrations have been made
in the state but these were probably
the first for Franklin county.
The meeting this week was a story
of the projector home pork done by
the vocational Students, a detailed re
cord showing the yield, costs, returns
and profits or losses of each crop was
given.
Next Tuesday night, January 26th,
there will be a picture show on cot
ton Instead of the usual lecture. The
films for this show will be furnished
by the U. 8. Department of Agricul
ture and should be tae very best ob
tainable.
All who are Interested are earnest
ly requested to be present Tuesday
night at 7.30. There will be no admis
sion chaiges.
