Welcome Epworth League delegates and visitors. We are glad you came. Hope you will come again. There is some talk of paving Ce dar Street. This would be quite a benefit to the Mayor and others. A headline reads "The Courage of Sen. Reed Defeats Farm Aid Bill.' Wonder what the courage of the farm er next election will do. Reports show that State tax re ceipts are greatest in history, almost twice as much as last year. Isn't that sufficient to reduce taxes? * A mail route from Rocky Mount ?ia Nashville, Castaiia and Louisbnrg to Franl^nton to connect with a route from Raleigh to Xorllna would re lieve the mall situation in this sec. Uon a lot. Somebody ought to do something about replacing the buttments of the bridge on Main Street Just so long as we wait for John tq do it It will never be done. Lets hope someone will take up the matter and get re sults. No doubt it would be interesting to many tobacco Co-ops in Franklin County to know what fee the court will allow the attorneys who- prose cuted the case and obtained the re ceivership. Rumor has it that their fees will possibly be $6,000 each. If this lstrue their interest in the farm ers was not so great after alL The State Highway Commission announces the completion of 19.3 miles of concrete highway and the letting of contracts soon for 121.4 mtlea cl highway at a cost of two million dollars approximately, and yet Franklin County Is left out Peo pte In Franklin County feel like they would ffet a much better showing ii more of the highway officials, higher up, of course, would go to Mexico or somewhere. i ST"*** I Quite a lot has been said abort the Australian Ballot and many peoplt In North Carolina are'making a grand stand play on this mrthod of voting It Is our opinion that this would b< very unsafe factor to the average voter because of Its possibility ol confusion. We don't believe our vot era would want or could ask for bet tor primary or election law than thi one we have if It was carried on in every particular. However the pub 11c has got tq' become amicable t Carrying out the law before the else tion officials can enforce It In our last issue we published h full the essay on the'life of Abrahai Lincoln written by Miss Olivia Mc Kinae, who was awarded the Llncol Medal at hlllls-, Hiph School on Jun 4th, givW by the Illinois Watch O We are calling the attention of o? readers to It because of Its complsti ness. It Is a most excellent blogra phy and Is a credit to 4ts author. ] ict only shows splendid preparatlo: but a wonderful ability and a dee research Into the life aad works < a great man, for a high school gradi We congratulate Idas McKlm splendid papnrA |paid off 140,000 outstanding indebted ness in addkion to running the town on a cash basis. They now have only about $23,000 outstanding indebtedness which they expect to take care at this (all, putting the town out of debt save tog its bond issues. It will be Inter es^ng to the tax payers also to know that the auditors report shows the light and water plants paying a pro fit to the town o( around $10,M0 a year after paying (or all its upkeep and repalrn In the light o( these (act the tax payers may reasonably expect a reduction in taxes in the near future. COL. PEK80X COMES BACK We take the following article from Tuesday's News and Observer: |t "Are yon a citizen of Wake or Franklin CountyV p gentleman asked ex-Senator Wiley Person yesterday. He was alluding to a recent publication in Franklin that as Mr. Person spent most of his time in Raleigh, he was in reality more a citizen of Wake than of Franklin. "I will answer your questio ns," said Mr. Person by this Incident that can be vouched for. The late Patrick H. Winston ef North Carolina, mafrrted a lady from Alleghany City, Pa. While on a visit to his wife's people he was appointed a delegate to the De mocratic County Convention, where he made a taking speech, from it he was elected delegate to the State Convention. He made another Democratic speech and his name was put in nomina tion for delegate at large to the National Democratic Convention, when a preacher from Alleghany City, got to the floor and stated that Mr. Winston who had been put In nomination for delegate at larg^ was not a citizen of Pennsylvania, but was a North Carolinian and was visiting his wife's -people )n Allegheny City, and was a Republican, when he was in North Carolina. Mr. Win ston said he saw he was gpne. unless he contradicted him em phatically and when he was Re cognized. he said: 'Mr. Speaker, The gentleman is a damned Mar. I was bred and born in AUegjnny City, Penn., and the damn "pool doesn't know his neighbors".^ Col. Person's answer remind the editor of the Times of a case tried in Franklin Superior Court twenty odd years ago wherein the phtlntiff was represented by Hon. E. T. Cans ler, of Charlotte, and defendant by Hon. F. S. Sprulll, of Rocky Mount, but at that time of Lonisburg. Mr. Cansler had been arguing law and citing cases from practically every northern and western state In the Union when all ot a sodden Mr. Spru 111 cave rent to his taelingi by In. terrupting the argument saying hie opponents speech made him feel very much like singing the gong he had heard the negroes singing so much. "BUI Bailey wont yuu please come Home." v We may not know our neighbors, but we know a lot about folks, The Colonel cant pull this old gag his wife Is neither a native ,of Frank lin or Wake, and we are not gather ed in a convention where people are swept off their feet by gplendld re partee or oratory. Facts are what count And the Colonel, as well as the people of Franklin County, knows that he has taken up his abode In the Sir Walter. Hotel at Raleigh for more than a year. If the Colonel wants to claim Franklin County his home and enjoye the privileges of this grand old county and hold Its public offices then let him come back and be one 01 ug, spend his money here, and be come a working part of the communi ty. But If he prefers to shun his "neighbors" and Uve in Wake where he cannot mingle and mix wtth them and be one among them, aU right But do the job complete?hold office and vote In your newly chose home, 01 not at all.

Some things we regret, but not go ing to church. Go Sunday. Save gaso. line. Ores, your temper and your re ligion by going to church Sunday in stead of Joy riding. A hearse Is a poor vehicle in which to ride to church. Why wait? Come in your Ford while you can. It hurts me to have to preach the funeral of a man who never came to church until he was brought there in a hearse. I don't know what to say to his family. About the best that I can say is that "I hope he has gone where I am afraid he hasn't." Where do you go from here? That depends largely upon how you live here. Lire right. We had but a sprinkling of men at church Sunday. Lets have a real rain a real down pour of men on the Lou isburg Circuit Sunday. The old churches are getting dry; things are not growing; she needs a season. Your church and your life needs the show^ ers of God's blessing as bad as ever your tobacco or cotton patch needed rain. Is not the making of, character for yourself and children as import ant as the making of cotton and to bacco? Tou hare been in the Held all week; go to church Sunday. E C.
