C., as second class matter. Lets build a pay roll tor Loulsburg ) ________ Yesterday mornings dispatchei states that the resign-up ot the Tobac co Association failed in South Caro lina. It's only what could be expectec after the past experience. GET THE FACTS FIRST The editor of the Franklinton Newi seems to be right much upset aboul the affairs of Franklin County sayini "The public affairs of this Counts seem to function only in an innei circle of a small ring and the outsid er-knows little about whatis going or until it Is over and then not muct about how it came to pass." It seems the immediate cause for provoking this Criticism was the selecting a site for the County home and the sale ol the timber on the present Count) home tract. His lack of keeping him self properly informed does not give Brother Purnell the right to criticise public officials improperly. , The question of selecting a new location for the County home has been a live one for more than six months. It has been talked and published time after time. It has been the main subject at more than one Kiwanis meeting. Many delegations, including one from Franklinton, were before the Board of County Commissioners considering the question and at the January meet ing Messrs. Strickland and Dean, two of the Commissioners were appointed a committee and empowered to select and purchase a suitable site, and were instructed to report at the next meet ing. At the next meeting proposi C tions (or several sites were laid be ' (ore the Board, bat not being able ti agree on one, action was postpone* (01 a week, when the Board metiagaii and visited several alias, however they (ailed again to decide but con timed the committed who made the purchase on February 15th, v.hei they selected a site about two ant one-half miles west ot Louisburg 01 the Franklinton road. The commit tee reported to the Board at Its (irsi opportunity, which was Monday, ant the price was placed on record ai * $100.00 per acre (or twenty-five acres As to the sale o( the County homt timber, it was advertised for sale al auction and offered (or sale at the court house door, but (or the lack ol a satisfactory bid the sale was not confirmed.^. The timber was later sold to Q. S. Leonard (or $6,551.00 which according to our information, netted the County about $6.00 per thousand standing. There may have been matters transacted without the proper publicity but as to these two Jit certainly seems they had a suffic ? (iency. rj The Commissioners intend to build :, as soon as it is possible to do so, ac " | crrding to our information and the ' | general plan will be similar to the 11 Vance county home, the plans can be 1. seen in the office of M. S. Davis, Ar pf >|Chitect, at any time after they have ! | teen drawn. '! Constructive and just criticism is , always good and proper and should ! K invited and encouraged by all, es 'jpeciallv public.officials, but it is also '.very important that these criticisms are really constructive and deal with 1 facts. It is not only embarrassing '(but very unjust to any one, especially 1 ^ a public official, to be criticised un ', (airly, and we do not believe that ?. Bro. Purnell intended his article in j that spirit. The only trouble was he |j.st failed'to keep himself posted on what is actually going on. We would suggest that he read the columns of the FRANKLIN TIMES more closely. Virtue is something that can't be j sent to the shop (or repairs and come beck as good as new. Subscribe ir The wmnaiir.
