' < a Entered at the Po*t Office etLonla bnrc, N. C.. aa aecond claaa matter. / We welcome you to Loulsburg to day. Charles Evans Hughes has been elected by the League of Nations to fill an unexpired term of Judge John Bassett Moore, resigned. That you may thoroughly enjoy your visit to Loulsburg today is the sincere wish off every business man or woman in Louisburg. Louisburg is all set and ready to go with its tobacco opening tor next Tuesday. We hope the results will be such as will bring you back again. The Anti-Smith Democrats in Texas have bolted the party. In other words they are trying to destroy the party that has-protected them so long. The State of Maine went Republican I this week by approximately 80,000 ma-1 iority. But this means little as I Maine Is a rock ribbed Republican State. ? I Federal officers made big raids! around Wilson recently. The Federal I Court don't do much more with blbck-' aders and bootleggers than our State or Recorders Courts. . I Sen. Joe?Tr Robinson, Vice-Presi dential nominee ot the Democratic. party, was heard in his speech at Raleigh Tuesday night by many radio enthusiasts who seem agreed upon' the fact that it was a great speech., and a strong political document. ' | Views Of An Idle Fellow I'll tell vdu what folks. I'm surely proud of my radio set. I enjoy it more and more all the time and don't see bow I could do without it. I j j hear so much good music and get all < the conventions and political speech-1 i es. I even got the quiet State Con. ] vention in Raleigh. Ii I can keep up with things tha* are j taking place in the world tiyit other.:, v.ise 1 would know nothing ok. since | 1 am forced to stay at home. May the Lord bless you for giving it to me. I noticed in a speech that the Rev. "Anti" Upchurcb said that no Re publican ccgild get in the anti.Smith' club unless they sneaked in and that ; ? they were not wanted, I wonder if the good brother is peeved because | the Republicans have said they dida'tj want the anti-Smith's in their party. ( And, I wonder if there will not be , some oT the anti-Smith brethren try. 1 j ing to sneak out of their club before ( November 6. | To my mind Judge Sinclair has sounded the keynote. Upon being ask 1 , ed how he stood on the political sltna ( tion. be replied: "I am a Democrat ( and a white man and my fingers have | never learned to scratch a Demo, cratlc ticket." A man ol^Jhis type , would look well in the Senate Cham. ? ber in Washington. It is a pity some of the Protestant leaders cannot follow the example set by the Catholics. Just suppose a Catholic priest were to organize an j "anti-Ho??ver" club in North Carolina,' like Bishop Cannon and others have 1 organized "anti.Stnith" clubs. And 1 suppose a priest should tour the j South slandering Hoover like John Poach Straton is trying to do Smith. There might be reason then for-the.1 good brethren to accuse the Catho. ( lies of wanting to run the govern- I ment. But some people don't .know | anything about consistency. This will conclude my broadcast for : tcday, I will be on the air again next week. i' WM. D. JACKSON. EDWARD BEST HIGH SCHOOL "DYNAMO" For the past two years the Edward r.est High School has published a weekly paper, "The Edward Best Veefcly." This year the school has charge elf a page in the Franklin Times. This is the first time we have| published a page in the county paper and we hope for the best. We have planned to make each ar.' ticle interesting to the whole county Our plaits for the year may be larger, than we can handle, but we are going | to try to make each article really help ful, instead of Just words to fill up rp&ce. With the help of Mr. Johnson' the school has high hopes of making, the page successful. ? ? ?

Last year the bell was a cow beM'contributed by Josephine Ball. . Mr. N. C. Bow laud gave the wire for the new bell and the school appreciates this very much. This is on* of the many thiugs for which the school is Indebted to Mr. Rowland. '_L The bell Is a simple push-button bell, run by hcjt shots too weak to use on the trucks. There are four bells, one on each corner post around the hall. The button la in Mr. Arm gtroq's room, on the left of the door as you enter?but you'd best not touch the bell?Mr. Armstron is official bell ringer and he might give you a few raps on the head. The school has a larger bell on top ot the building at the back entrance. This bell is used to ring when the pupils are out of doors. This bell is also in charge of Mr. Armstrong and it is rung by pulling a plow line? otherwise a cotton rope. Organization of Club* The majority of the Clubs organized last Friday.

When the association organized they ap. printed a committee, which will help a great deal in advertising games. The bevs seem to have more interest In basket ball and are more experienced after the cither years. The girls are planning to have class games before the regular basket ball season opens. This is the second year they have had class games. Last year the 10th grade won the cup, thl3 year it is hard to tell just how the games will be. The girls who have won black B's are not permitted to enter the class games. The class games are to develop new material, get more girls interested in basket ball and t<t interest the school in both class games and school basket ball. ? ? ? New Basket Ball Manager The Girls Athletic Association elect ed Margaret Smith manager of the Association. Margaret is going to have plenty Of work to do if she will not get lazy. She's very capable of holding down the job and with her help the athletic activities are going to be more interesting this year. ? ? ? Somebody suggested opening a hos pital for the benefit of the sick and. afflicted?don't know why there are any sick nsnd afflicted, maybe the teachers gave them too big and bitter doses of this year's work. ? ? ? New Truck The school has seven trucks, three Chevrolet trucks and four Ford trucks. One of the Chevrolet trucks is brand new and William Southall is chief engineer. The trucks are in good con dltlon and the new system of arrang ing the trucks in the evening pre vents mnch confusion. The pupils are very profcd of the new truck and of the other trucks. The drivers rate very well , as good drivers, So we ex_ pifct to have n pretty good yenr In thl truck line.
