Kth-Last Thursday afternoon before the House committee on counties cities and town the advo cates of tne now Bounty ot Middlesex had their hopes dashed to the ground when tho committee voted unanimous ly against tho establishment of the new county from portion* of franklin Johnston, Wake, N??h, and Wilson counties. A large delegation came te Raleigh to present their project to the '"i&ring the past week some of the moat Important measures to eome be fore the legislature during tho present session were etther passed or killed on tho floor of thehouso. After a florae straggle the. Justice Mate *fde primary bill was defeated b? a oloeeyote, M to 81, failing to pass its seoond reading. Mr Justice and Mr. Page championed the measure while Mr. Bowie and Mr, Doug 1* ton offered a most strenous re aistence to its pimn. The /nx months school term bill has passed both houses. The Senate amend ed the bill so as to allow counties to lery a special t M* to meet any deficit caused Jh ex*ra ex pense incurred on the account of the longer school term, and the house has concurred in theomendment. The child labor law has passed the house shorn of its most important feature, namely, the provision for an inspector and an assistant inspector. The county superintendents of eduoa tion are to act to a certain extent as inspectors. The bill to protect hitman life by prohibiting trespasing on^the rails on roadbeds or steam railroad# met- its de feat in the house after a hard light for its passage, was made by its author, Mr. Bolicli, of Polk, a locomotive en gineer. Several fr.ak amendments were offered The bill to incorporate the town of Bann, Franklin county, has passed the house. The bill for* a road bond issue for Manning township, Nash county, j has passed both houses. The Justice antitrust bill has pass ed the Senate. Mr. Justice is still after the railroads and yestexday introduced the following bill: Section l.-rThat no railroad company or railroad companies hauling intra state freight between two points in the state ot North* Carolina, and -where the entire naul is within state, shall charge or receive for OOch haul for a given kind and quantity of freight any freater sum than the rate published, charged, or received by a railroad com pany or railroad companies for hauling a like kind, and quantity, of freight in the same direction and a longer- dis tance where the longer haul, whether interstate or intrastate, embraces tne shorter distance, all of said shorter dis tance being within the state. Section 2. ? That it shall be the duty of the North Carolina corporation commission forthwith to re-adjust, and to require the railroad companies doing intrastate business in North Carolina to re adjust their intrastate charges for hauling freight so as not to violate stction 1 of this act. The usually calm and tranquil ses sions of the hon.se were interrupted last night when ex-Senator ; E; K. Johnson,, oi Elizabeth City, was I brought before the bar of the House to answer to the charge of assaulting Representative Payne, of Currituck, yesterday afternoon in the capitol just -outside of the hall of the House- A special committee was appointed by Speaker C*nnc?r to investigate the matter. Tne committee reported that they found that the -'affair" took plane when neither of the houses nor anv of ' committees were in sesjion, that both had bet n partly to blame, and that a reconciliation had been effected between the two men during the in vestigation, The_ committee- recom mended that Mr. 'Johnson be discharg , ed, which was done. It ' appears that ' Mr. Payne introduced a bill that Mr. .Johnson did not like and the two men came to blows the gentleman from Currituck getting a 4,black eye" in the nnx-up, Mr. Johnson not showing anv signs of the trouble. The first of the revenue bills was In- 1 troduced in the House this morning by Mr. Williams, of IJuncombe, chair man of the House finance committee. This bfll has to do with taxing incomes, I inheritances, franchises, and licences. Brick House by Parcel Post. The latest thing in the field of the Parcel Post system is the shipping of a brick house by mail. Each brick man ufacturer in the United States is going1 to send a brick of their manufacture to ! the Clay Exposition at Chicago from which number a house will be built. Each one of these brick will be s-mt by Parcel Post. ? Mr. Wilson Bis: Loser Mr. A. W. Wilson, who lives about three mile* north of Louisburg on Thursday nicht of last week had the ?lis for tun# of losing his barn by fire including all his feed, tea head of horses and muks, fourteen bales ?f cottoa and all his harness and imple ments. The ire was not discovered until it had gotton long beyond the hopes of control as it happened about one o'clbe^. Mr. Wilson it one of Franklin ciHinty's successful planters who has laid by a supply of home sup plies and this lossN^jll be quite a set back to him. He haM.he sympathy of the entire community iriSiis l?ss. There was no insurance on either Hie building or its contents and it is thought the i origin af the tire was incendiary Loses Debate Quite a Rood number of Louisbnrg's population gathered in the Graded School Auditorium on last Friday even ing to hear the debate between Oxford and Louisburg school debating societies The query was "Woman Suffrage" and the speeches on both aides were good and showed special pains in their pre paration. Oxford did well their parts in upholding the negative side of the question and was awarded the decision by the judges. Those debating here ?ere for Oxford, Messrs. Wrenn and Parker; Louisbusg, William Bailey and Charlie Cooke. The judges were Mr. D. F. McKinne and Revs. E. L. Malone and W. M. Gilmore. The team sent from here to Weldon were Messrs. France ? Yates and Wil liam Winaton and were accompanied by Supt. W. R. Mills. They debated the negative against Weldon's affirmative, but apparently fate was against them arid they lost out there. .However, the score of points stood 7 and 6. The de bates of these yaung gentlemen were -splendid and was greatly enjoyed. . Oxford woo from Weldon at Oxford aad therefore enters the ooatest at the University. Maaero Shot to Death While Leaving Palace. Mexico Cite, Fab. 24. ? Francisco 1. Madera and Jose Pino Suarez are dead, lo a midnight ride under guard from the national Da lace to the penitentiary they were killed. The circumstances surrounding the death of the deposed president and rice-president of the republic are un known, exceet aa given in official ac counts, which do not in all caeea con form. The only witnesses were those actually concerned in the killing. The proviaional president. Gen. Nlc toriano Huerta says the killing of the twe men was incidental to a fight be tween their guard and a party attempt ing to liberate them. The minister of foreign relation*, Francisco de LaBarra, atlils that the prisoners uttempteff to escape. Neither makes a definite state ment as to which aide fired the fatal shots. It is not impossibe that neither knows. An official investigation has been or dered to determine the responsibility, and solemn promUcs have been made that the guiltj^rni be punished. Not unnatarally a great part of the public receives the official versions with doubt, having in mind the use for cen turies of the notorious "Ley Fuga," the unwritten law which is invoked when the death of a prisoner is desired. After its application there is written on the records, "Prisoner shot trying to escape." Illustrated Lecture. The illustrated lecture given at the Methodist church on last Tuesday night for the bone (it of a fund to make need ed repairs at the parsonage, was attend ed by a lar*?ie number of our people. It was quite a novelty to our people in the fact that their opportunity of wit nessing such a well gotten up illustra ted lecture has been small.' The lec ture was both amusing and instructive, being in a sense almost equal to a trip to the Chinese Empire ? the lecture be ing on China or the Dragon Empire. The instrument used by Rev Mr. Wil I cox is a splendid one and in his hands gives par excellent service. The many who attended were del ign ted with their evenings entertainment and will no doubt avail themselves of all the re mainder of the couree. Tonight the second lecture of the course will be given and will be entitled "At the Gates." This promises to be au excep tionally good one as the films are' es pecially good and quite a large crowd is expected to go out. There is no "ad mission fee? only a silver offering will .be taken at the aoor. Don't forget to night at 7:30 at the Methodist Church.

Letter from Mr. Hollowav. The following letter has beiau re ceived from Mr. J. H. Holloway rela tive to the position of Mr. J. A. 'I'll r - ner on the school problem: Raleigh, N. C.. Feb. U. 1913 The FraiiliHn Times" ~ . Louis burr, N. C., Dear Mr. Editor: ? I Notice in soar current edition of the Times, A Card from the gentleman who represents thia County in the Legislature (to his entire personal nat isfactien )nn the bill recently passed increasing the membership of the pub lic school oommittee. The ^iBgic of his position seems to the writer, tery poor. According to bis reasoning, we Should bare a representative in the Legisla ture, f root every township in order to let every section have an equal voice in the Legislative matters. If there are any existing evils in oui present County School system, why not say so to plsia ? ' ' * every day language and set a boat cor recting tn?m. Wf.j waa it accessary to increase tha Board membership by two member* and pleaae tell ua wbat bearing chat can have on the matter, except to poaaibly give the coatrela to seme other faction. Is it not A (act that our able Rapreaeatative has allowed himself to be made a cat'* Paw to pull the Chest nuts out of the fire, for somebody, with an axe to grind or a spite te sat isfy. Whv was this action so precipi tate. without giving the people of the County an opportunity to be heard in the matter. There seem to be '"A Nig ger In The Woed Pile" and when the thing finally has the light turned on, a little bird has told us, the "whole bus iness is aimed at eur very capable Cotinty Superintendent and no aacount ofaBophistrv can make any sensible men believe any other purpose is in view by the promoter* of this scheme. The present board is composed of seen who who enjoy the confidence of their aeighbois and the people of the county and how the addition of twe other meaioers can da any thing bat increase the boards Per Diem, the writer is too dense to understand, unless as above said, it is done for purposes of manipulation. Self praise has never yet convinced the people of the correctness of the position of apy public servant and neither will it do so ia this instance Mr. Turner's article ia more notable for wbat it does not say than it is for thejexplanation it purports to be.

New Idea There is a new scheme on foot by which the sehools of Franklin County are to have at their disposal, a ster eoptic.n for the purpose of giving il Ibstraled lectures on various subjects. Dr. Fleming is working on the plan for raising^* money and sereral of the teachers in the schools in the county have expressed a willingness to help. The planis to select from the musical talent of. the county , some of the best known ssusiciaag-*nd give a series ef J?l|th clan masieal entertainments in the schools. The moa.y thus raised Will be-used ta purchafe a stereoptioon and suitable slides, and the schools ? siatiag ia the mbraMent will have tha pajrilege of uaiRf tie lantern and WMHM, This will be a great addition ta tha teaching facilities as there are taaay iaatrmctive travel aad ether slides that are to ba had. N The lantern is to be Utted with both gas aad aleetrieity aa ? ? ??g it may be used in the country where there is no eletrlc current. L It it not known exactly when the first ' OMicert will be iriveri, but it wOl take place as aeon s the weather will per mit. Thla will be a great thing ter the count; and the ached that U fortu nate enough to help in the movemeat will not only get the benefit ef the Untem, but will hare a real treat ia thia concert, as there ia probably more real musical talent to be feund ia Franklin countv than in any area at equal size and a concert given by eur home talent means one of a very high order. ^ Remember Youi^Loved Ones. ..

I would like to advise the people of Louisburg that there are some cases of whooping cough in our town. It is not absolutely necessary to quarantine it if the families who have it in their home will take the precaution to keep those with the disease from spreading it.ahat is to say please keep your chil dren from contact or association with others who haven't it, and by no means let any df them attend the public school. If you will carry these simple direc tions out I think that w6 can hold it within bounds; otherwise I will have to quarantine all homes where the dis ease exists. Respectfully, J. E. Malows. Superintendent of Health. Cemetery at Corinth. TheSundersi^ned committee wish to thank all thoso who were at Corinth Baptist Church on t.*>e 12th to help in laying'off the cemetery. Since then we have made an effort to get prices on fencing that would suit them interested and from a very* close estimate the squares already laid off will cost $5.00, $7 00 and $10.00 each, and is to be paid on or before the second Sunday in March. There are several squares that have not vet been taken which no doubt will be taken later. If you have not made your selection we would appreciate your doing so by the above date. Our people are to be congratulated upon the interest they have shown in the matter and we urge upon them to use every possible effort to help your committee press the work to completion. Not ouly lend your influence in financial aid but your commendation- also. * J. B. Smith a. a. Dement R. D. PlNNXLL Committee. - ? List of Letters.
