Good Roads election in Frank
lmton township, Tuesday April 6th,
How are you? For or against
good roads, fret ready "to answer
the question.; ,
To watch the different stores
in our town one would not think
w time wflra as "dull" as some
would hare you believe.
Company F. has been provided
with a gallery target, which we are
informed will be placed in position
in their armory at an early date;
Miss Ethel, daughter of Mr.
rsA Mm W. JL Mitchell, who lire
about five miles west of here, K enter
tained a number of her friends in
honor of her fourteenth birthday.
Those who attended from town re
port a large crowd and a big time in
general.
Judging from ' the " appearance
of the streets in the recently opened
part of town our street committee
aie having some fine work 'done.
Our town truly has good representa
tives in the persons of Messrs. A. B
Cooke and H. E. ' Pierce, eertjiinly
so far as street work is concerned
If "good roads" carry in Frank
linton township, it means that all: of
the roadsin the township will be
worked hired or convict labor,
and there-will be no "warning in of
hanls to work the roads' How do
you folks who have been working
for sir days in the year, and then
have no geod roads, like that idea?
, ' Good Roads Election.
';The qualified votersTof Franklm
ton owriship will have an ; oppbrtu
nity on Tuesday," April 6th - to - vote
"for good road a' and ' "against good
rjads." In t another ' part fpfy the
Times th "entire law. is published
for the; information v of '.the " voters,
yhe ca'l foithe election is also pub
lished, and as will"? be .'ieert by. eai
call ewry voters qualified to do et
will have to register in order to ; bo
able to vote in this election. It is
an entire new registration and in
order for Good Roads to carry a
majority of the registered voters -of
the . township must cast their votf'a
'FonGood Roads." To register an-1
not vote is a vote "Against Gotni
Roa8."
The plan is before you, good peo
ple of Franklinton township, and it
is for vu to sav whether vou will
have good roads, by paying a small
sum each year, or whether, you wili
continue to pull through mud and
slush, thereby causing tha wear anl
tetr of your steams to cost yon
much more than the tax.

A Correction.
The Franklin Times in it's issue
of last week gives au account of the
trial of Dibk Gardner and Gladys
Gardner and publishes the testimony
given at the Justices' Court, then
goes on to comment on the proceed
ings in a manner- that we consider
unfair to the witnesses from Frank
linton and that reflects 4 upon them.
The Times states "that public opin
ion was divided as to their guilt and
that some cf the Franklin ton people
who heard the evidence before the
Coroner were disappointed that they
were not bound over. - In justice to
the Coroner, who appears did his
work properly and well, and to
Justice Masenburg, we feel that we
should state that it is claimed that
the evidence before the Coroner at
Franklmton and that given at the
preliminary trial herta Was' not the
same by any means.'
This is not true and reflects upon
us who were witnesses. There were
statements allowed by the Coroner
in order to try to arrive at the facts
which were ruled out, and rightly so
in the Justices Court, otherwise the
testimony was the same, except in
one instance; the question was asked
of G. L. Whitfield, if Gladys Gard
ner appeared on the stage Saturday
night: he answered that he did not
think she did, but after thinking, over
the matter, they bavin g played here
several nights, he remembeied that
she did go on the stage the Saturday
night in question and he asked ; per
mission of the court to corn ot .this
mistake, which the court did. It
was only an error in dates and no
evidence in question, all the evidence
being entirely circumstantial and
none brought out strong enough to
convict. There are no people who
are more anxious to punish crime than
the people of Franklmton. It is the
only way to suppress it. We write
this in justice to ourselves as the
Times intimates that .we .swore to
one thing here and another in Louis
burg. ". ' "
Very truly,
A. B. Cooke, Chief Police.
