ProduceThe demand for country produce continues strong and the . prices good. Those having any to sell will do well to give Louisburga trial, Cotton. Cotton sold for 10 cents per pound on the Louisburg market yesterday- This represents a little rise from the previswa'two or three days price. Several bales have been marketed and it is still coming. .1 TobaccoThe tobacco market has been strong the past week so far as prices are concerned, although not much of the weed has been marketed. The demand seems to be especially good on all good grades and the iprices have reached $40 per hundred. Little James Clifton Joyner Dead-. On Monday morning the death angel visited the borne of Capb L; L. Joyner,. and took therefrom his little infant son, James Clifton. lie had been sick only a short while and his death was unexpected. Though only a little over two months old he had caused an attachment from the entire family that will suffer from tfie lack of hit presence. The funeral wis had on Monday afternoon from the home and waa conducted by Rev. Hughes, of Henderson after which the body was laid to rest in the'cemetery, lbs' pell bearers were Drt. Malone and Yarborough, S. P. Boddie and E. Hr Halone. We join the host of friends of the family in extending sympathy.

V . - U' -'H IKLB THE COUNTY, THE S -rr | o LOUISBURG, Hyfc., FRID Saturday. Large crowds ol ladies via- ct ited this popular ladies furnishing es- hi tablishment and expressed themselves ai in high praise of the many nice and pi fashionable articles to be found there, ti In their opinion the prices were ex-' bi ceedingly, reasonable. These young w men are proving themselves very popu- ai lar in selecting stocks of goods that ap- ol peal the to good tastes of the lady pur- U chasers of Franklin and adjoining coun- ei ties and are making some excellent qi showings on their opening days. Their si store was perfactlv beautiful being dec- T orated by experienced hands with the ir many pretty fashionable fall and winter cl fabrics. By reference to their adver- tl tiaement you will be kept fully posted 11 on all things in their line and learn of n your eordial welcome to visit their ei stores ' , e Fire Friday. On last Friday evening about six o'clock the fire alarm was turmd in ii from over the river and it was Boon o learned that the trouble was at the cot- e tun gin hear the oil mill. The fire com- t panics were quick to respond to the call r and the fire was soon extinguished, b From some unknown cause the fire a started in the top of the cotton presses, h but was extinguished before any special h damage was done. Our fire depart- ii ment deserves much credit for the h quick response, and readiness to go, to h all fire alarms. v I'.' Boy Scouts Not Military. The leaders of the Boy Scou{s of America insist that the movement is not military. Upon the point they hsye Is- 8 sued the following statement: "The ' primary object of the Boy Scouts of 8 America is not military, but peace 0 j-mitliwr a*?4 . -ilti.ali^..! ? li building for good citizenship. The ^ military virtue of obedience, neatness, * order, endurance and erect alert bear- * ing are, however, scout virtues. It 0 also appreciates the fact that -boyhood 1 properly developed and cared for will 1 produce efficient material for the de- ' fense of our land if this should become v necessary. Its aim therefore is to cen- * ter its interests on the peace scouting activities that will fill up the recreation periods of a boya life, and give him the training which is necessary to tfie development of an all-round man. Every- ' thing that tends to develop boys in < this manner is good Scoutcraft, and the c Boy Scoute of America insist on the 1 knowledge of campcraft, woodcraft, 1 chivalry, life saving, personal hygiene, and patriotism being put into the boy's ' recreation education in right properties, J Missionary Conference. The Womans Foreign Missionary , Conference of the Raleigh Distict convened in the Methodist church here on \ Tuesday night. Qnite a large number s of delegates were present and although < the meeting Tuesday night was mainly for the purpose of organization, it was ( seen that much interest was taken in the work by the ladies from all seel ions which was substantiated on Wednesday ' morning by the many reports. The reports shewed much work done and intense interest in most every case. The Wednesday morning meeting was I the main business session and on Wed- 1 nesday afternoon an interesting talk was i made by Mrs. Dr. Morris of Creedmore. t Her subject as well as discourse was c splendid and lent encouragement to the I cause. After her, Rev. R. H. Willi's, j of Littleton, delivered a very interest- t ing lecture to the Conference which p was greatly enjoyed. At g o'clock Wed- a neadav evening Rev. U. M. North, pas- t tor of Edenton street church, Raleigh a preached the annual sermon, It was c an able and impressive one and showed \ the credit the women were doe for the p great good they were doing through I this most worthy organization. e All sessions were largely attended by a both delegates and the public generally I and the worn and talks were all enjoyed Special music had been arranged d for by" the local society and was had at p each session. f The conference as a whole was a a great success and our people were glad h to have it in our midst. q ' t Coming in All Its Entirety.

The pamphlet is illustrated '' vith views of phosphate and potash ^ nines the Tetmeesee plants from (which e in enormous output of sulphuric acid is ibtained. and some of the works from j rhich came 600,000 tons of acid phosihate annually. There are now twenty . A. C. plants, all but three in southrn States. The southern department .t Atlanta, with the executive offices ti Jew York. ' ** ' , h It appears that the International pro- a luces fully half of the sand pebble phos- is ihate from Florida. Its acid supply si rom the 'jennessee copper smelters P mounts to 260,000 -tons a year. One p mndred and ninety tank cars are reuired to transport the acid.

An abnormal cit:en cannot perform his whole duty as , >ch to his country, himself or his peo- , le. All things being equal a healthy , erson is the paragon of perfection for stive profitable work as a citizen, he shove being true no time or exenae should be spared in the eilort'to eep people well by preventing sick- , ess and disease. The Old slogan cry , >ed to be?get to the patient as j sickly as possible and do all you can > care him?now It is use all the meara nd weapons in our hand vo prevent . Im from getting sick. How much iai?r , is it to prevent than to core. . pastlve industrious man goes to bad e ith some long drawn out disaase. con- t sed for weeks with pain and suffering j sth mental and physical perhaps?his t ved ones friends and society suffers ore or lees with him?he is out and iwjj so far as being an asset for work i a mentak or physical nature and k mae who are interested in him are 1 am or lees incapacitated for any kind < pT J j i V !* >? .IS-' y' <*' *?q '* jJfcs'r1 * > : / BSCRIPTIOH $1.00 PER YBfcfi ; j " I. 1 ' 1 ' >u * NUMBER 32 ?(?: f work. Now this much is a loss to he family himself and the oounty? hen count the thousand* and thousands ases of this kind and you I will find hat it amounts to a lass to the counry in a material way almost immeas- -{ rable .This sounds awful when we top to think about It and we know that II this could have been prevented, lowever people may differ as" to the tethod of curing diseases, there should e no difference of opinion as td the ecessity or wisdom of preventing dis- > ase. Is not a lite rescued from typhoid ever or other preventable disease, ust as valuable and precious to the amfly and sooiety as life rescued rom an act of drowning. If It is istural and worth while to risk peronal injury and death to save human ite suddenly imperilled, is it not worth vhile to make a strenous effort (when io risk ia involved, to save lives that are onatantly in peril from preventable lisease. Justice Hughes, U. S. Suirenje Court, says "It is only because ve are accustomed to this waste of mman life that we go on about our laily business little thinking of the ireventitlve measures that are possible. Jr. Fisher, of Tale, says "The science if disease prevention if properly ap died, can add fifteen years to the iresent average length of human life. [The present average la 46 years). Hiss Joardman, Red Cross Sooiety, says: 'It is very difficult to understand why here should be any opposition to any:hing that tenda to increase the efflciincy of the public health service in this muntry." As a general thing "the people will spend more money for the protection of cattle than of its citi- J ' sens ". The people should give active ? lunnort. to *11 wi?> r?rt KHr? measures. Insist upon the " enforcement of health regulations in your community. All villages, towns and cities ihould have public health leagues where citizens could combine their efforts to conserve the public health. Clean and healthful surroundings mean a small sick list and a low death rate, which is the best kind of advertising for any locality. When you ore fortunate enough to have an energetic ahd efficient public health oflicer or board, see that they know that you appreciate their efforts. Remember that they are human and like other public servants charged with important and sometimes disagreeable duties,' they merit and need the encouragement and the inspiration that comes from public commendation. It is a credit to the medical profession that they are doing their utmost to encourage the sciePv? of disease prevention, The true physi cian is an enemv to disease and is glad of the opportunity to use his knowledge and skill to prevent it. Almost every disease in the catalogue is preventable ?then why should we wait until disease lays its dreadful hand upon us or our loved ones to stretch us out in a bed of pain, suffering and perhaps death. Why not take the initiative and strike Jisease down with the hand of prevention. It con be done if public health officers can get the recognition, help and incouragement of the county and town ooard of commissioners. Bv medical iciencc and antiseptic surgery 12 years oas been added to human life. Medical icience shows that malaria and yellow 'ever are transmitted by flies and mosluitoes?npw kill these pests. Diptheria death rate has fallen over 80 per lent since 1880. Diptheric antitoxins las done the good work. The gonsral mortality rate has decreased ibout 19 per cent since 1880. But if he present death rate from preventa >ie diseases 19 continued, over six millon American lives will be needlessly lestroyed during the next ten years. Vaccination to prevent typhoid is alnost an assured success?oat of 18.00G loldiers who were in camp this summer n Texas, surrounded by unfavorable :onditions not one had typhoid fever vho had been previously vaccinated vith the anti-typhoid serum. Smallpox can be eliminated from the ace of the earth by vaccination. Yelow fever has been driven out of exisence almost. With all of this in fhvor if and to the credit of the hard 'worked lublic health forces. Yet?every minite hn American life is lost by preventive disease This should not obtain? hen et every one help and encourage ho health department-1-by reporting liseases?removing filth, dirt, trash, tagnsnt wster and everything that, rill harbor and produce mosquitoes and lie*. If the people, the county and city ommisaioners could work together ,-ith the public health officers in ait a most industrious and enthusiastic way o promote good health and prevent lisease, we could dominate it from our aidat.
