THE FRANKLIN NT|MES A F. Johnson, Editor & Mgr. One Year $1.50 Eight Months 1.00 8ix Months 75 Four Months .50 Fjir-gn Advertising Representative ' rMh AMERICAN PPF*S * '?'V*IAT10N ) Snlered at tbe Post Office at Louis t>Tf. N. C.. aa second class matter. The reference Cohoon made in bis speech Monday night to the effect that if Dolty Thomas and Ben Mis. senburg were living Franklin county would not now be supporting Gov. Smith, is entirely erroneous. That ehowB how much he knew about the, deceased gentlemen. If it were possible for either of these gentlemen to know that Cohoon had been allowed to speak in Franklin county as a Democrat of r?ny degree their peaceful rest would have been ser'ously broken. The speech of President A. W. Mohn | at the Anti.Smith, Anti.Democratic. I Hoover-Democrat, Republican meet ing held in the court bouse Monday j night in denouncing the candidates ofj the party whose supporters have been friendly to Louisburg College, Is be-; lag accepted as an appreciation.1 Some of the subscribers to the cam-j paign fund taking the position that' they will not contribute further Jo j mi institution to teach the woman.; hood of North Carolina Republican, ism. It's a pity an official of an in-1 stitution of education should become involved in a question like this. If it's the opinion of a few "no de rent christian gentleman can vote for Smith," it's the opinion of many that a man who will vote for the Repub-1 Mean candidates not only doesnt rare a snap for the protection of the women and children of the South and doesn't appreciate the good govern ment the Democratic party has given the fjtate since 1900, but approves i the acts of the Republicans in the big : oil scandals, which has been desig nated by big Republican officials as' the biggest and most corrupt pu'olio, scandal ever perpetrated on any peo. < pie, and also the renewal of the Salt Creek oil lease; he doesn't appreel- > ate the government of Thomas ferson. Grover Cleveland and Wood-/ tow Wilson and has contempt for Zeb < Vance. Charles B. Aycock and T. W.'< Bickett. He is credited with approv-/ tng the order of Hoover causing the f mingling of the_ races in the <Com- 1 nietce Department at Washington and Republican rule throughout htstofy 1 including the reconstruction and cart t ptt bag days and the fusion regime in' r iS96 in North Carolina. If it's such/ ?. disgrace to be a Demociat. why uol/ be a straight Republican. Get on one 1 side -*i the fence or the other. Don't c liang on top. ~ ? COSSTITtTIOXAL AMKMIMKXTS ?lu the comiug election the voters ] ot North Carolina will be called on to ] vote lor or against three Constitu tional Amendments. Inasmuch as it j does not take any particular number ] of votes to carry them, only a major- . ity of the votes casttlor either or all ? cf the amendments it makes it neces. , sary that all voters should cast a vote on each one of them expressing . his or her wishes in regard to their ] becoming a law. Don't take the po- , sition that you don't know anything , about them and not vote either way. t Vote for or against each one. s The State has failed to give any , iiilormation about the object and ef-!, feet of these amendments, which is , shoud be required to do before any-] election is held on them .therefore we can only discuss them in the light1, that we hive. il No. 1. It is to amend-the constitu-] tion fixing salaries of members and presiding officers of the General As. rembly at six hundred dollars and j seven hundred dollars respectively' and providing additional -er diem for I extra session. This amendment is jiist and should be carried. It's true j the compensation for these jobs should not be made such as would a'tract, but should be suTiclent to pay j at least a reasonable expense of the j representative sent to the General] Assembly. We are now working on ;? l'ee set a long number of years ago before the cost of living advanced so - much. > ? No. 2. "Amendment to Constitution rt North Carolina providing for Soli. (Itorial Districts." The meaning of this is not entirely clear. At present eiir judicial districts govern the so <i~itorial districts. We presume It is t ?(! desire of the law makers to \cnge this and have solicitorial dis tricts independent of Judicial districts.! '. his may or may not be a good move. It can open' th,e"way for an increase | in the number of solicitors, which vtll mean a greater cost to the State it salaries are paid in all dist acts. Somehow we feel that a change here 1? unnecessary. No. 3. "Amendments to Constitu. tion of North Carolina, authorizing classification of intangible personal -roperty.'' The object of this amend ment, according to our understanding ft- to give authority to the Legislator. ? to make different 'tiises of taxabl e property and to i .e a separate or different rate for ench class. It would vperate to put one rate on money, nrotber rate on bonds, mortgages or other securities and still another rate ?' n land. To our mind this Is a most dconerous amendment, carrying with '* * dangerous authority and prece dent. Land is about the only taxable property that cannot be hidden and .itiBTJor: Icj b beer the bu.Jsn. 'There Is too much probability oI this burden being increased with this amendment successful. The tax pay er who is going to dodge his tax un Ider the present system would con. tjnue to dodge" them-until tax free securities are done away with.. \\V don't mean to be unfair in this {discussion of these amendments. This jU the why we see them. We hope that the Legislature will adopt a plan cf thoroughlyxadvertisiug proposed amendments with a full explanation cf their working before any more o{ them are offered the public to pass judgment upon. Stump Speech I want to especially make a tea remarks to the young voters of the county. Some of you are for the first time preparing to step out into the political world and cast your vote. Ordinarily in the Old North State this would not be such a grave matter ! since we Democrats generally* have been carrying out the rule set by our foretathers and voting the Democratic ticket without even dreaming of do ing otherwise. But today my young friends a grave condition of affairs has arisen which calls for. a good deal of thought and aUso hard work among our ranks. I haven't the space to go into all the details which have brought about dhis condition in the Democratic par ty. besides you all know what they are. There is one thing very essential to the good of the party and to the successful combating the foes which have so treacherously sneaked In and this is loyalty. A house divided against itself cap not stand. An army unless well or ganized cannot successfully wage war and if because of some personal opinion^of one of its Generals, a lot of the buck privates and subordinates pull out of the ranks saying they1 will go over to the enemy unless their side gets a new General, it would' toon go to pieces. Some of "you will be called upon ? to face no little argument against voting for our next President, Alfred E. Smith. You are having to face all kinds of propaganda and whisperings and open slanderous mud slinging against this good man. XT such times | as this be loyal to the party. You may dig deep into this matter, this anti-Smith sentiment and you will find that it originated from a few rMsgruutled politicians, intolerant' preachers and anti-saloon leaguers who" are Republicans to start with. Fhey have put down a smoke screen it the prohibition question and In its shelter are bringing up everything ?oncetvable to defame the character j >f the man who received the votes rom forty-two States on the first bal. ct in the convention at Houston. , They seem to forget that there is nit one moral question and that ques ' ion is prohibition. When they are | *.ot ranting about liis religion they , ,ve/ shouting him down because he ^ vants to bring about a change in a aw which has been proven hopeless j f being carried out. Hbey will tell i, I' oil, > be a Democrat in North Carolina nd a Republican in Washington. It1, an't be done my friends, if you are' ? -Democrat you are filled with that1, icr'v loyalty, which your forefathers , -.anded down from Reconstruction Jays.- J To cast a vote for Herbert Hoover s to play with fire. For oncfe the . Republicans get control of the State >11 the work which has been done or-the past fifty years for Democro :y's cause will hav$ been undone. All of you I am su^e are well iware of the fact of how"H]ie, Repu'o ican party has always been an enc. i.y if the South, then-why- go over o the enemy nowT"You Eave nothing o gain and all to lose. Some people gill lell you to. follow Senator Sim-' ?nons, but I can't believe you will io that for he" has proven himself entirely disloyal to the Democratic party and is consorting and working with the enemy. If you must ha'Jj omeone to follow," why not foITow~Xl E.eJ E Smith? Now fellows get right out and get1 lo work, don't Just say I'm going to rote for Smith, but get after the other j fellow. Get out your banner of !oy- j alty and help keep off the" yellow' streak which some arc tryir , to place upon the Old North State. -. I On November 6th help keep the Old i North State within tMe ranks by vot-' fng for Governor Alfred E. Smith. WM. D. JACKSON j H. T. BEASLEY IS BURIED SUNDAY Funeral services fior H. T.

The committee feels Itself con.' gratulated upon securing Dr. Smith, j wi'. K to speak upon' a subject of such j signifcance, not only to the natives of Franklin county, but aiso to these, who have won the right of adoption.' The speaker will- be presented by Dr. S. P. Burt, pioneer Franklin coun ] ty physician who is prominent in cv- ? try movement for the uplife of the' y ? people in Fianklin county and the .State. Many have expressed an eagerness I to hear Dr. Smithwick, the County Historian, and a large crowd is av, ticipated. The musical selections will be un-' der the direction of the secretary, :<Irs. Bessie Hogwood. COHOON DELIVERS ANTI-SMITH SPEECH I With a crowd variously estimated at from fifty to one hundred and tweu ty.five witu fully half of these Strang Smith supporters, W .L. Cohoon, on attorney of Elizabeth City holding himself up as a-Hoover Democrat de livered a long, well prepared, uneffect ive speech against the Democratic, nominee for President, Gov. Alfred E. Smith in the court' house Monday night. Mr. Cohoon.is a good speaker, is entitled to be numbered among North. Carolina's orators. But on this occasion he had the wrong aub.( joct. His denunciation of the Catholic religion and praise of the stand talieh by the Protestant clergy received only blight applause,. except in the Re publican ranks and a few misguided Democrats. His explanation of the" immigration, prohibition, /attitude of the' Democratic nominee was char acterized in a statement that Smith had enunciated himself as bigger than the party that nominated him. He lauded Hoover as the man for the job, but did not discuss the part that Hoover had in the big oil scan-! dais, except to vindicate him. His speech from an oratorical standpoint was enjoyed, but as an argument fell m mostly upon better informed ears. ! At the beginning of the meeting Pres. A. W. Mohn, of Louisburg Col.! lege, spoke for about twenty minutes in his usual enthusiastic manner, lu' a seathing denunciation"' of Smith, Raskob, Lehman and otljers, includ ing all those who support the Demo.1 cratic ticket in Franklin county, this fall.. His speech was much enjoyed by the few "Republicans and anti-j Smiths present, but not so well re-. ceived by the others present; whose' political faith is different, from his. The meeting could not be called a' success. No^dne has been heard loud1 ly acclaiming the wonderful argu-l rnents made by the speakers. The! contrast between the reception of| these speeches and those of Bailey and Mprphy, is immense. There is no comparison in the reaction from Monday nights meeting and the speech made by Hon. Johnson J. Hayesf a straight out Republican, two years ago. Capt. R. I. Cheatham Dead Possibly the prettiest, most largely 11 attended funeral ever held in Frank-1 j linton was that of Capt. K. I. Cheat-, ham on Friday afternoon. The floral 1 offering was immense and exquisitely", j beautiful, and bore a tender message of love from friends and acqualulan-; ees In many States. The pall bearers | were'his rail road'associates. The fun eral was conducted by Rev. ??. ?>.'] Caviness,' pastor of the Methodist I churcfl of Frankfinton,- assistefl by | Rev. ?. ?. Randolph, pastor Of the i Franklinton iaptlst church, and Rev.' Daniel Lane, pastor of the Loulsburg I Methodist church. The Interment was I 'made in the beautiful little city ceme. , tery at Frankfinton just as the sun I . was passing in the west. I Capt. Cheatham was born and rais .ed in Franklinton becoming employed by the Seaboe-d railroad In early life, and had worked his way to the trust-; I ed position of ! stant General freight ageut,.which position he held 1st his death, Vhlch occurred while qn | a trip to New York, in the interest of his company, on Thursday morning of last we*k ?

Frankly speak ing we need money to pay our bills so we are going to sell New Fall and Winter Good? less than we ourselves paid for them, in order to get out of debt. A1 Smith says, "sell your goods'arid pay yourbills." Herbert Hoover says, "sell your goods, forget profit and pay your bills.'' So we have decided to cake their advice and sell goods and forget the profit. * i Druid L L 3G in.
