WELCOME *
The management and office force of the TIMES join
in with the merchants and citizens of Louisburg and
Franklin County in WELCOMING into our community
one of the South 's leading department stores, Leggett's,
whose grand opening is taking place today. We feel
sure that they will be of great benefit to the community
in every respect.
ELECTRIC LIGHT RATE
In another column of this issue is an article which
shows that a town in Vermont operating a municipal light
and water plant as does Louisburg, has been paying all
bills and with only a fifty cent tax on a hundred dollar
valuation. This year the people of LyndenvilhvYt., are
going to operate, according to the article, with its people
tax exempt. It seems if towns up North as well as some
of our neighboring towns and cities can operate in thi>
manner, why can't Louisburg do the same instead of be
ing a black-eye to its own citizens as well as the outsid
ers. This is not a reflection upon the present board of
town commissioners, for this question lias been in the
minds of the public for several years. It would not be
necessary to cut the rates to compete with the Carolina
Power and Light Company, but instead, make a sub
stantial cut and gradually cut down as time passes by.
It seeiup as though the entire population of Louisburg is
behind this move and as though it might have some
bearing upon the coming town primary. As the saying
goes, "you can not start any sooner," then why not gel
some action as to this matter now instead of only coi
ner gossiping over the matter continuously.
MAPS
.Will the map companies be able to make a map in the
next year or so that will stay unchanged for a short
breaths time! This is a question facing the school chil
dren of today as to studying history with so many geo
graphic changes.
This is only a slight question as compared to the out
look on an oncoming war situation. It seems as though
as long as there are small countries to jump at and con
quor without any fight that it might be a while yet be
fore a war, but suppose some one country, winch will in
time to come, should become tired of the situation and
decide not to stand for Hitler's doing, then you might
x say to the boys to "get into your uniforms."
We notice that Hitler has warned France to keep
hands off and that she, Germany, and the govennent of
Prague were "in full accord" with the occupation of
Bohemia and Moravia.
May we ask our readers that even with all our taxes
and the things we do not believe should not be done by
our government, just how many of us would like to
change countries and give the Nazi salute instead of to
the salute of "The land of the Free and the Brave?" We
people kick the action that our government takes on
some measure, but honestly, we do not believe that any
of us would be willing to change, and a mighty few arc
of the opinion "to go over" and fight unless absolutely
necessary, but would fight to the last man for the "Stars
and Stripes," here in America.
But It's True.

WET GARDENS
The TIMES is in receipt of a
: nice- letter from Mr. C. S. Wil
liams, of Franklinton, wherein he
' gives splendid and timely advice
and suggestions to gardeners. We'
i take the opportunity of quoting
- Mr. Williams as follows:
FKANKI.IN TIMES,
I ' Hear Sir:
| "I give some information below
i that will be of benefit to garden
j ers. *"
"It has been too wet to plant a
? garden up to date. 1 bed my gar
den ill rows with large wing in
i the Kail: in the Spring you rail
' plant on these beds when too wet'
i to plant! if not bedded. I have
planted my garden beginning in
January and all along as things
i needed planting.
+7 ? "If yon-iritHyoyr TOtt?y ttrrntpff
' you soir~iu Fall, in March, April
| and May you ' will have Just as
good salad as sown in Fall up to
the last of June and have good
i size turnips th^it will be solid and
| good as Fall sown. .
"Very few people sow Salsify or
| Oyster Plants. This is one of the
J best vegetables Plant it in March
I or early April. Commence using i'
i in July until next March. Soup
! made from the roots has a good
I flavor as Oyster soup. Can't tell
| the difference and can cook and
| fry the roots, and has same flavor
as fried oysters.
"Yours truly,
"C. S WILLIAMS."
