The extreme need for more and
better fire equipment In T<ouisburg
Was very forcibly demonstrated Wed

Louisburg is especially proud of its
splendid fire department and the per

Judge H. W. Perry, who retired Mon
day as Vice-Recorder for Franklin
Connty Recorders Court, has made a
most enviable record the past two
.years that he has served In this ca
pacity for his fairness, . impartiality
v d courtesy. k He made an honest ef
fort-to make his decisions upon the
real facts involved in ail cases, and re
tires with the commendation and con
gratulations of hi? constituents.
Notwithstanding the fact that Wake
Superior Court only found Dr. Albert
Anderson guilty on-two counts of the
fifteeu preferred against Lira by -the
rrand jury and only administered a
small fine, without the requirement
tk'tt be vacate his official position,
there are many citizens who think
tnat the rules in the McBrayer Sana
torium case applied to the evidence
lefore the court in the Anderson case
should remove Dr. Anderson. There
will always be a shadow upon his ad
ministration should he be retained as
the head of the State Hospital.

Judge James L. Palmer took over
the duties of presiding officer of
Pranklin Recorders Court Monday and
handled the business of the court in
and able and efficient manner. He was
tf-lr, painstaking, and impartial in his
rulings and courteous, and pleasing in
his decisions. He will, no doubt. giTe
to Franklin county able r.nd efficient
i-crvice in this important position.

t-atlon they, have given the ' county.

An Appreciation
Fifty y&ars ago before hospitals wc-re I
hi evidence, as they are todtfy when
well nigh every family has made the
a qaaiatbuce of them, the physician,
11 as lie was called theD the ^d-iotor
had to provide his own hospital. In
met in himself he had to be or pro
? (le a combination physician, hospital,
t ained nurse and drug store and be
ing such he was the most, Indispens
able man in the community?also the
best loved one. Ian Mac^aren in one
ct his books with his master hand has
drawn the picture of such in the per
son of Dr. Wm. McClure. It was fifty
. years ago and more that Ellis Malone
began the practice of Medicine in old
l.oulsburg, succeeding to the practice
as well as to the name of bis father
'?he w etrnriewkothb
The writer knew both?in tact as far
bock as. he remembers knowing any
one he knew them, theirs being fami
liar figures In his home and .they im
pressing themselves Indelibly as the]
? . cquently hud occasion to do on hit
life and memory. His earliest recol
l> tion of the son is as a fellow pupil
o: the old Academy, be a young man
:>e writer a small boy. Then thl
yruag man going, off to school for hli
i?rlal training at Bsllevne In Nee
PV t!g c?rst
.. ?-turn hone ttr-begin the practice of
what he had been studying. His oc
?a?ional visits to the Academy when
the writer was still a pupil to give
'ectures on the human boJy when
t-ose there wondered that one among
ih^m and so recently of them should
come to know so much. During the
days of his effectiveness Dr. Malone
came as near being a present day
personification of Ian Haclaren's doc
tor as anyone you could find. His
practice soon came to be extensive,
in-.ludiiig every class, cnltured and un
cultured, white and black, well to do
aud poor, appreciativeund ucappreci
atlvtr,.'those able to paS"and those ab
solute.." unable to do so. Jfrnong them
uil he showed little U any difference
in his attention, going when he could
to all alike and at all hours of the day
and night. He would remain for days
bv a bedside when he thought- a'life
was at stake even during Christmas
holidays, when there were little ones
of his own heme and he had made no
provision for the visit of'Santa Claus.
More, he could do this when there was
no pay and no prospect or> expecta
tion of such, only an ever increasing
obligation of gratitude. He knew his
work and loved it. He used his skill
never solely nor chiefly for self en
richment. Like hndther he went about
doing good and healing, as far as he
could, all manper of sicknesb and all
manner of disease among the people,
lie jras not- unmindful of this other.
In the last conversation of any length
I had with him, unexpectedly to me he
brought In tlje 103rd Psalm quoting
these words "Bless the Lord o my
soul and all that is within me bless
His holy name?who J^forgiveth al!
fhine Iniquities and healeth all thy
diseases" and added "is not that
enough for anyone.''
Ills was a big and kind heart; a
gentle and helping as well as a heal
ing hand, tils visits in a home meant
more than taking tempertanre or giv
ing medicine, more than stitching a
wound or setting n bone, which he
c juld do and loveti, to dor- And so the
tuck were glad for him to come for
tie atmosphere that he brought with
him as well as on aceount of their
confidence in his skill?an atmosphere
of cheer, of sympathy, of brightness
and of real fnteresL When th regular
practice there wereVw home of either
race in or near Louisburg that were
not blessed by his coming as there are
few of the citizens of today who will
rot miss his familiar figure and his
Kindly word.

Our Trip To West Virginia
Dear Readers of the the Tlnfaa: We,
Gladys Taylor, Douglas, Daryel and
myself, started at four o'clock last
Wednesday morning for Buckhanuon,
W. Va., to spend Thanksgiving with i
My father, mother and brother, Mr
and Mrs. C. A. Abbot* and Harold.'
Gladys and Douglas doing the driving.
We had a pleasant and uneventful
trip until we were within a few miles
cf Gormania, W. Va., where we had
to make a detour from the main high
way and at this point our troubles be
gan, tirst muddy roads and later on
as we got farther on in the mountains
heavy snow. We had- hoped to reach
Durkhannon by Tate bed time but
about two hours after dark we found
ourselves stranded on a snow covered
mountain that the car refused to
climb. " ?. ?'
We descended to the foot again to
:be little town of Gormania for rein
forcements, but decided to go no fur
ther until daylight. Next morning wltn
the help of chains and a good portion
of the masculine population of Gor |
mania we topped the mountain and i
got a driver to drive for us until we .
. rain reached the highway, taking us
at times through snowdrilts as high
a3 the top of the car. The remainder
of the trip was a real pleasure and I
felt repaid for the unpleasant exim"
ience of the night before as I on
more beheld the vision of the W. Va.
hills, where my girlhood hours were
passfd. We found the homefolks well!
and delightfully surprised to see ua.j
spent two happy days and nights there
starting on our. return trip Saturday
noon, coming back by way of Clarks
burg, W. Va., Uniontown, Pa., Cumber
. l&nd, Md.,'spending the night in this
: city, then on south,, arriving in Louis
burg about eleven o'clock Sunday
:i4ght, tired but happy.

'j EDNA ODELL GILLIAM DEAD
i On Sunday morning, November
25th 1928, the death angel visited our
community and called from Mr. and
M-s. Spence Gilliam their little daugh
ter," Edna Odell, after suffering only
. one week and two days. Everything
was done for her that helping hands
could do. But God saw fit to take
i her. We don't understand why she
, wis taken so early in life. She was
. i ily 7 years and 6 months old. She
'".as loved by all that knew her. We
| rc^t in peace to know that she is at
' rest where there are no sorrows nof
pain. We all hope to meet ber some
good day. A' great number of friends
! gathered at Sandy Creek church to
pay the last sad tribute of respect
to our dead sister. The funeral ser
r vices were conducted by the pastor,
' Rev. Mr. Rock. Several beautiful songs
vere sung. Then her little body was
taken to the burying ground where
1 the remains of our dear sister were
laid to rest. She leaves to mourn
their loss a mother and father, two
" sisters and twobrothers. The floral

Yes, We Have No Women Governors or -j
Senators, But Seven Congresswomen
rpHE past election did not mak?
n woman n United States sen
ator or another woman a governor,
but it increased the number of
congTesswomen from four to
seven.
Women who will grace the floor
of Congress for the first time pfter
March 4, 1*29 are: Rath Hannah
McCormlck. Republican, of Illi
nois; Mrs. Ruth Pratt, Republican,
of "New York City, and Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Owen, daughter of William
Jennings Bryan, of Florida. The
"Ruths" seem to have made it
unanimous. ?
Fonr Were Be-Elected
The four congresswomen who
were re-elected are: Mrs. Nourse
Rogers of Massachusetts. Mrs.
Mary T. Norton of New Jersey,
Mrs.? Katherlne Langley of Ken
tucky and Mrs. Florence P. Kahn
of California. All but Mrs. Nor
ton succeeded husbands who died
In office.
Two prominent women who
campaigned -for seats In Congress
were defeated In the primaries.
Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham
was badly defeated In the Texas
senatorial primaries and Mrs.
Gilford Plnchot was beaten in a
Pennsylvania congressional pri
mary. Miss Agngs Hart Wilson,
daughter of former Secretary of
Labor William B. Wilson, died
after winning the Democratic
nomination in the sixteenth Penn
sylvania district.
No Women Senators
Mrs. Cunningham's defeat left
no woman seeking a senatorial or
gubernatorial seat. There has
been a disposition to be wary , of
women governors since Mrs.
Miriam Ferguson's regime in
Texas. Mrs. Felton of Georgia
was made a senator by a gallant
courtesy appointment, but the
only woman who ever received a
major party senatorial nomination
was Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen of
Minnesota. And a Democratic sen
atorial nomination doesn't mean
much in Minnesota.
Mrs. Pratt seems to have had
the hardest fight for election.
gHaving defeated Assemblyman
Phelps Phelps in the Republican
. Ekctloi of these three Ratha to
coagreaatoaal seats at the#last
elect toa brings the total a amber
of women la Congress to seven.
Rath Bryan Owen (above),
daaghter of the Ute William Jen
nings Bryan, was elected la Flor
ida. Mrs. Rath Pratt (right,
above) will represent a New York
city district. Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mc
Comtek (right, below) won In
Illinois.
primary she wap pitted against a
strong Democratic candidate in
the election. Furthermore, the
seventeenth New York district was
by la
represented by la retiring Demo
crat. But the district is often Re
publican in city elections and^Js
known as one of the "blue stack
ing" districts.
Mrs. Owen's Kleciion Kasy
Mrs. Owen's election in Florida
was virtually conceded after her
nomination. She is regarded\ as
an excellent campaign speaker
and this was not her first political
try- She was defeated for the
Democratic nomination in.1926 by
Congressman Sears, whom she de
feated for the nomination this
year.
Mrs. McCormlck, the most sea
soned politician o? th> three ftu ha
and widow of the late Senator
Medill McCormick, won along with
the reat of the Republican ticket
in Illinois. She is expected to be
a prominent figure in the Seventy,
first Congress slid it is generally
supposed that she will run for the
senatorial nomination against
Senator Deneen in ?930.
The increase in tue number of -
women members of Congress gives
the "wets" five champions and the
"drya" two. Mrs. Owen and Mrs. j
McCormick are politically "dry."
There is no way of determining
the number of women who ran
this year for atate legislature jobs
and various county and municipal
posts. But the number of success- --
ful\ women candidates M LtUaved
rto be greater than in ISCU.
