Tempus Fagit
Tempus fugit, as the Romans
used to say when they wanted to:
eay "time marches on," but didn't I
know how. And it really does fly, '
f or here we. are beginning the
school year ;'38-'39 when we
thought the summer had onLy Just
begun.
And the beginning of school
means the beginning of the Mills
Hi Merry-Go-Round," through the
courtesy of Mr. Johnson and the
FRANKLIN TIMES.
Mills High School rang its first i
bell on Thursday morning (Sep
tember 8)j about five hundred!
fifty-one students marched in. j
This was not quite up to last'
year's number, but more were ex
pected next day. Arrangements
for books were made the first day
and lessons began the second.
There are only twenty-eight :
seniors this year in comparison;
to last year's forty-odd; but the
freshmen class has patched this
up by being so big as to require
the big double room in which the
partition has been removed. All
in all, there are more students in
high school than last year.
Principal W. C. Strowd has con
gratulated the students on this
score: that the entire faculty of
the school liked them so well last
year tljat they wished to return.
We, the students, wish to return
this compliment: that the faculty
has been such an excellent one,
individually and as a whole, that
they were asked to return without
an exception.
Initiation
Well, the freshmen girls have
been initiated. The students real
ly didn't think it was such a trial
to them for they seemed to enjoy
it very much. Bright and early
Monday mornjng they could be
seen strolling around the campus
with the newest coifTure that can
be had ? the hair done up as many
rolls, puffs, and curls as possible
? and a huge sign on back and
front- proclaiming FRESHMAN to
anyone who would happen to be
interested.
Grammar Grade Sewn
With a short vacation behind
them and a long school year ahead
the young people in the grammar
grades are trying to make the
best of it.
The very small pupils of Mrs.
A. B. Perry, not only have one
long school year ahead but elev
en. No one would think so,
^though by their happy faces. Their
chief objective at the present
Is to learn their nursery rhymes
and to be able to dramatize them.
They invite everyone who would
like to see something nice to come
and visit them..
Mrs. Inscoe's thirty-eight pu
?pils have started their new year
doing very good work. Their unit
of work is centered around ani
mals ? reading about them, learn
ing to spell their names, drawing
them, and learning songs about
tnem.
Miss Smithwick's pupils have
chosen a very interesting subject
for study. They are making science
booklets and they couldn't have
chosen a better time now that
the leaves and numtier of insects
are changing their color with the
changing season. On their science
table is an interesting collection
of shells, flowers, butterflies, spi
tiers, and a hornet's nest.
To you young people Who have
the most of your school years
ahead of you your reporter wish
es you the best of luck!

' FRANKLIN COUNTY ?
' FA KM ITEMS ?
1 By County- Furiu Agents *
A few farmers in the County
ire due refund of taxes paid un
ler the Bankhead Cotton Act of
[934 and the Kerr Tobacco Act
>f 1935. This office is in receipt'
>f a letter from the Washington
>ffice which gives the following
Administrative Rulings in regard
o the refund of this tax. 1. The
naking of refunds and the admin
strative work in connection with
luch refunds is to be handled by
:he Bureau of Internal Revenue j
which is located at Greensboro, N.
C. 2. Tax refunds are to be made
)f any money collected by the De
partment of Internal Revenue in
the form of t^jes paid at the time
of sale of tobacco or at the time of
Sinning cotton. No refund is to
be made of money paid by a far
mer through the County office for |
tobacco poundage transferred
rrom some other producer or for
Bankhead Tax Exemption certifi
cates purchased through the local
County Pool. This simply means
thati where a farmer purchased a
card for additional poundage from
the County Agent's office or from
a Ginner, no refund is due from
this purchase due to the fact t'his
money was pooled and went to
other farmers. If a farmer refus
ed to purchase through the Coun
ty ofTice or at a gin or warehouse
and the buyer deducted the tax
straight out then this tax money
was returned to the Treasury of
the United States. This is the re
fund that a farmer may get back.
One has until July 1, 1939 ill
which to apply for this refund and
anyone desiring to do so may get
in touch with Mr. C. H. Robertson,
Collector of Internal Revenue,
Greensboro, N. C.
County Agent E. L. Norton and
Assistant Agent W. C. Boyce will
be out of the County Sept. 18, 19,
20 and 21 attending a meeting at
Sedgefield, located near High
Point. This is an Extension Meet
ing of all Agents in the North
Western District for the purpose
of outlining, with the he'p of all
Extension Specialists, a program
of work to be carried on during
the coming .year in Franklin
County.
Practically all tobacco allot
ments have been received from the
Washington and State Offices by
the County Office. A small group
of growers have not, as yet', called
by to receive the quota for their
faYijis. It is necessary that the I
Operator come in person to sign"
card for quota as card must be de
livered to t'he one having contract
and known as Operator of the j
farm. Anyone who has not, as yet. 1
received card may come by the
Office for same.
Letters will be mailed out with
in the next tew days to all farm
ers in which an appeal to Hie Re
view Committee may be made if
one is dissatisfied with the allot-!
ment received. This Review Com
mittee will. be composed of three
men from some other County who
in turn will study .the appeal of
all cases. From the study of a
case if it is found an error was
made and any farmer has been is
sued a quota of too much pound
age, this card will immediately be
suspended and a new marketing
card will be issued. On the other
hand if this Committee finds that !
an error has been made and the
quota is too low according to the
past production of the farm, land,]
labor and equipment factors then ,
it> will be up to this Committee to |
make an upward adjustment. The
County as a whole seems to be very !
well pleased with the poundage
[ received and the Washington and
State Offices are going to have all j
farms audited for mistakes and er- ]
rors and those found will be cor
rected.
Approximately 10 car loads of
phosphate will be used by Mitch
ell County farmers by Sept. 15.

"HEALTH COMES FROM
WITHIN"
Many people have found it difficult to understand why the
Chiropractor seeks to correct functional and pathological
disease in vital organs by adjusting or treating t?e spine;
however, only until they understand that every vital organ
in the body is connected with and controlled by nerves from
the spinal cord and brain, can they fully understand why
Chiropractic methods can relieve so many human ailments.
Where there is an interference with the function of the
nervous system, sickness or disease results. The cause is
within ? therefore Health must come from within through
the removal of the cause. This is done by the Doctor of
Chiropractic. '
