LOOK FOB FACTO AMD
FIGURES FARMERS MKETI56
As chairman of the Franklin Coun
ty Tax Relief Aaaociation and aa thia
county's representative of the Eastern
Chamber of Commerce Inc., Wm. W.
Neal, aaya "I feel that our tax payers
will do wen to notice carefully the
facta and figures brought out by the
tobacco and cotton farmers meet
ing held in Raleigh Thursday. 8ep-l
tember 11th. The terrible burden of
taxation now being.borne by land
owners and even more so by the ten-'
ant farmers is finally being realised
by both to be the real cause of this
suffering. Our politicians have allow
ed the large corporations and rich
people to dodge their lust part of the
tax burden, and this has forced' people
to withhold their money from invest
ment in farm land and from the far
ming people. The large tobacco com
panies and large banks are gradually
taking our farm property and farm
produce since we have no money left
to carry the heavy burden any longer.
Let's see what the Governor is going
to suggest, then compare that with
what the tax payers and farmers say
about our present and future out
look."

Question' Discussed.
Tbe Louisburg Klwanls Club enioy
ed a moat interesting address by Rep.
W. L. Lumpkin at Its regular weekly
luncheon on Friday evening. Tbe
subject of the speaksT was "Tbe Low
Price of Cotton and Tobacco." After
reviewing tbe world stock conditions
and the local living conditions the
speaker took the position that the
prices of cotton and tobacco would
Improve as there was ltttlo room as
well as no cause why they should get
lower. He pointed out the fact that
business depression travels In cycles
by calling attentlpn to the years 1897,
1907, 1913-14 and 1920 and contrasted
the fact that larger consumption oi
tobacco and cotton la now made thai
tr. er before and that the present
prices were below cost of productioi
bringing about a situation that can
not continue to exist. His sddresi
showed a pretty well developed idei
of the market conditions and a thor
ough study of his subject, and it wai
greatly enjoyed.
Arthur Fleming, who had charge o
the program, took occasion to brim
before the Kiwanians the problems o
the Farmers Creamery and the poai
btlity of its closing, suggesting tha
the citlxens of Louisburg get togethe
on some plan to put it in drat clas
shape and guarantee its continuing t>
