As the days ?ad hoars to by. It
draw? nearer -the cioeiag of the con
teet. It la only a short time trn tU thte
treat and excttlag boor wlu arrive,
and with it touea a time, when you
wUI bo the winner of one of the val
uable prlies, If you go at It tn earnest.
Yet oa the other band. It yon sit and
wait for your friends to come to your
rescue, without any effort on your1
part, you to to bed on that nlfht with
a heavy heart. Your fate reata en
tirely with your enerty, ambition and
determination.
We know that your are not * ?Hit
ter, neither are you an easy- looser, !
jet we sometimes wonder If you are
really aware of the danters of your
loosing to a competing contestant. We
wonder If you know that there are
several other contestants who are lust
as much determined as your to win,
and that there are other contestants
running right along with you. There
are several reasons why you should
not loose a single minute, if you are
flthting to win either of the bit
prixee.
We also wonder if you are goint to
1st some other contestant scare you
by telling what they have secured, or
j*hat-they are toint to do before the
contest closes. If yon believe all that
^?tt. hear, you'll have a head fall at
false Information before the contest
la over. Stop and consider, tet your
self In line, and yon will at once coise,
to the logical conclusion, that none
Is going to tell you or any one elae
how they stand. To do that woold
mean defeat. Now If yon have heard
such stories as this discard the
thoutht and forever after let your
mind be at rest from suct^ absurd
things.
There' Is only ope way that any con
testant can defeat you and that la' by
a bitter count of votes and this lies
with you. M you are not successful
you have arty yourself ia blame and'
the work of yoor opponent to contrat
wlate The winners can boast of their
"victory by their work only, and not by
favors shown' them throuth the of
fice of the Franklin Times or the pro
motors of this contest. This is one
contest, where honor and work are
the only mean? or wlnnlnt- The
prices are not for sale anci cannot ba
bought, they are to be Won, by an hon
est race for the larteet count of vbtos.
If yon are sot satiated that you will
receive a fair, just and honest deal by
the managera,of this contest, we
would rather yon would stow work to
day. It t* bar daatre so , return ft'
conduct a simitar to do
this . we t must conduct a smooth and
clean-out proposition. When we leave
LouUbury we want the good will of
every one and shall strive every min
ute and move to this end.

FRANKLIN SUPR COURT
CONVENED IN BEGULAB SESSION
MONDAY.
A Tw WWH WM ol '('ItII Coart.
Ho?. C. M. Cook? Presiding?Slow |
Progress..
The regular February term, of
Franklin Superior Court for the trial
of civil cases only was convened , on
j Monday morning at 10 o'clock with
Bli Honor, Judge C. M. Cooke preside
Ing. The Judge wishing to make every
minute const had the jurymen to take
their seats in the Jury box as their
names were called and immediately
after the list was finished he began to
ckjl the cases. The first called was
that of Ford vs. Southern Saw Works,'
this case being under voluntary ad
justment it was postponed. Roberson.
vs. McLean was called but neither of
the parties being present the case was
ordered off the docket. The next cue
wis that of W. ML Fuller vs. R. G. A1-*
(den. This is a case whelreln Fuller is
seeking to recover damages in the
junouat of 11,000 and interest from,
Allen in connection with the purchase,
of Mattress Factoid stock. The
was immediately Wren up and con
sumed the whole of Monday and Tues
day and a part of Wednesday. The
Jury returned a verdict that the plain
tiff was not entitled to damages.
The plaintiff was represented by W.
it. person an? T. T. Hicks, of Hen
derson, and the defendant by Messrs.
W. H. Yarborough, Jr., W. H. RutBn.
Sprulll ft Holden, Blckett, White &
Malone. .
The next case on the docket was
that of Cooper vs. Allen, which was
very much similar to the one above
and consumed much time. -
Thcsb two cases consuming as much
time as they have has put the court
way behind In its calendar and there
Beems no other prospect but that the
court will continue on through next.
week and then not complete tte work.

A few figures given Bfeow will
?peak for the local market nore than
can poaaAly be (aid in wtards. Dur
ing the past yedr the increase in the
pounds sold at the jtrlce will be seen
to be about SQ .per,cent. During the
Season of 1912 and 1913 there was
2,480,197 pounds at an average of
918.66. In the same period just clos
ing up to February 1st there was sold
on the Loulsburg market 3,650,848
pounds at an average of $21.35. We
are informed that above 150,0011
pounds has been sold since February
1st which together with the remain
der that will likely come In will run
the sales in Louisburg for the. 1913
1914 season up to about 4,000,000
pounds. t
This showing looks good to Louis
burg people and goes to show the
market Is keeping fully abreast or the
times. _
