Loulaburg needs some manufactur ing enterpriser. Is a half dozen objections enough to keep a man out of public office? The nefr congress Is pressing for ward witlj a pretty good record. President Wilson isadvocating & na tion-wide primary for the Presidential nomination. The name of Mr. W. A. Jones has been suggested for Franklin's next * ~~ Representative The Norfolk-Southern railway has put on regular trains between Ral eigh and "Charlotte. With all the new buildings nearing completion Louisburg is beginning to look right "cityfled-" 1 Did you ever notice that the man ?. who cries "ring*' or "graft" is trying" to get hold of matters himself? There is more talk about getting Pos tal telegraph connection for Louis burg. It, would be quite a conven ience. A ? From a standpoint? of pnbHc inter est; where should there be any objec tion to a little friction between the cotton weigher; and buyer? The time is presenting itself when the farmer should be a little carelul of those who are so especially inter ested in their welfare. If we could get a sufficient amount of capital interested to establish 1 a cotton mill -for Louisburg we would be a great deal better off as^a towft. About the best investiment for the Farmers Union would be to build them a cotton mill and sell the finished fa bric rather than the raw cotton. Get ting the cash will be easy when they begin in earnest. The Farmers Union Warehouse is proving of value these days $s many farmers are storing their cotton and using their receipts to borrow money on if they should need it. It is ser vtng a purpose that has been long needed in this community. The extraordinary special 9es?ron of Congress closed on Saturday and on Monday the regular session wa^open-'j ed. The currency bill however, Wlli i not iose its piace, but will b among! the first to be considered. | ?- . - ? ? lis strange isn't Jt4 A few days ago a man in jurg township who lives Qtt a cross road that has not hfeen reached by the force in building roads remarked to a gentleman whose plantation is on one of the best roads in the State, that he would vote against the additional bond issue. The gen tleman addressed answered by say ing that he had good roads but was willing to pay the little additional tax. it would, take to give them equal ad vantages. It seems strange that a man under such conditions would op pose a measure that is intended to | give him equal advantages with his j neighbors. % A gentleman of Franklinton says j there is something wrong in Washing ton. He says "he knows there is I somthing wrong. Why all the repub- j llcans in the county, and some of 1 them mighty good men, men in whom he had the greatest confluence in their word, said that if Wilson Was elected President the farmers would have to sell their cotton for 4 cents a pound and their tobacco foi 5 and 6 cent-? a pound. When I sold my tobacco for an average of abut 30 c?yits around, and my coton for about 13 cents. These men would not tell a lie. so I know there is^something wyong. I Jim going to find out what it wrong. Just the conditions that exist. Now that these good men who had gone astray have found out that the tilings they had been led to believe are all bosh, lets see how many will be men enough to come across and join hands with better government.

One of the most enjoyable occasions of the sesson was the reception by the Barsca Class of the Methodist Sunday School to the business men of Louis burg on last Friday night at Louis burg hotel. Plates had been laid for forty guests and st the appointed hour the doors to the spacious dining room were thrown open and the guests all entered.

Hr Ma lone in a veqr clear and impressive manner stated the object of the occa sion as aneffort to assist in bringing as many men together as possible to extend an Invitation to join their class and .be present at the reorgani sation on Sunday morning. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Wilcox, who is teacher for the class, whose remarks were especially impropriate and made a strong appeal to the young men to take a part in this movement. The next speaker was Mr. Branham, of Raleigh., general lield secretary of the Wesley Bible Class Department of the Eastern North Carolina Conference, who presented, the work in detail and in such manner that the workings were thoroughly clear to ail. He furnished a lot of statistics that showed a won derful growth of the organization since its beginning. His address wan an intresting and informing document and presented the work in a very ac ceptable manner. Next came Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, attorney-general who is always welcomed by a Frank lin county audience, with his wits overflowing and his humor ready and awaiting. He made a splendid talk [and used several personal illustrations that presented the workings of an organization of this kind in a more se rious attitude, and importuned the men present to join hands in this movement as it was not only worthy byt they would realize the need of their actions when they, entered more mature ages. Mr. F. N. Egerton was then <pc4*?ented to the party who with ills, happy remarks added much ** occasion and real*'*-** * *1!C * .... eu his endorse ment and support to the movement. In all the occasion was a grand success and the officers are to be congratu lated for their efforts in giving such an enjoyable evening entertainment to those present. Upon motion a vote of thanks was extended the host for the excellent menu and after being dismissed by Rev. A. D. Wilcox, the party left for their homes feeling much j Indebted to the Baracas of the Metlio Idist church for the evenings entertain ment. i ? : 1 The Wreck. During th'e past week It seemed that ! ill-fate visited the Loulsburg Tailroad. !Oa Saturday evening it seems the boil er sprang a leak at Franklinton and [another engine had to be gotten from | Raleigh. .Upon coming in that night (the locomotive ran through the de railing switch that was placed on the yards here to keep the train from run ning into the street, which pecessltatcd calling out thewrecking crew lo-puw it back on. The wreck train came | over early Sunday morning and soon I placed it in position on the track. It is said that the wreck was caused by the brakeman forgetting to open the switch when they went out at 5 o'clock and upon returning, he went down to close it and turned the lever without totictag he fact that he was opening Instead of closing the switch and the train passed on off the track. The damage, save theexpense and trouble of the wracking train, was only slight. ' >'otke. The copartnership between J. W. Perry and A. W. Perry and others, under the firm name of A. W. Perry Jr .
