We are herewith reprinting an arti
cle taken frotn the Fra^kUn Times ot
August 1891, concerning the first ef
forts at erecting a monument to the
Confederate dead In Loulsburg, feel
ing that It may be of interest to many
of our readers:
In pursuance to a c^ll made by the
President of the above Association:
the Veterans of Franklin county met
in the Court House in the town of
Loulsburg. N. C., the 3rd of August
1891. In the absence sof the Presi
dent. C. D. Malone, the meeting was
presided over by Vice-President P. G.
Alston, who at once called the As
sociation to order and proceeded to
..the transaction of its regular business
The roll call was dispensed with at
the suggestion of Comrade C, M.
Cooke. The following Committees
were called upon and made their re
spective reports: Ex. Com. Chairman
H: C.- Kearney reported that nothing
had btftn done by his Committee as
yet J. E. Malone. Monument Com
mittee, reported that he had not as
yet collected any money from the peo
ple of Franklin county for the reason
that he did not think the opportuni
ty had-arrived for such work with
home people. This committee pro
mised good work during the next sii
monthSi-aBtt hoped to be able to break
ground for tlie erection of monument
by the next summer. On motion of
Col. W. F. Green, the strength of the
Committee was augmented by the ap
pointment- by the President of three
gentlemen, from each township, and
that J. E. Malone should be continu
ed as Chairman, and that the Presi
dent be allowed the necessary time
to select the additonal number to com
pose .the Committee. This motion
was put to a vote and was carried.
On motion of CapL C M. Cooke, Dr.
J. E. Malone was elected honorary
"member, of the Association by Ac
clamation. A collection of $2.55 was
taken up for Incidental purposes, and
placed in the hands of the Treasurer.
Comrade H. C. Kearney offered the I
following resolution, which was ad-1
opted:
Resolved. That a committee of three
be appointed by the president to sec
ure a suitable kind of books for the
use of the Association, In which shall
be enrolled in alphabetical order In
one of the said books the names of
person who enlisted In the Confed
erate States Army and Navy from
Franklin county, with the command
to which he belonged, and If killed or
wounded, when and where, and if
sinceJdead. when and where; And
also to have enrolled the name of
every member of the Association In
alphabetical order, with a like state
ment as those provided above as to
each.
The President appointed the fol
lowing members as a committee ot I
three to cary out the object of the |
.above resolutions: sheriff H. C.
Kearney. Capt. C. M. Cooke. Col. W. F.
Green. It being the regular meeting |
for tjje election of officers, the fol
lowing members were nominated and I
elected by acclamation to fill the fol-1
lowing office:
President Capt. Sid Joyner, Frank-1
llnton. Vice-President Capt C. M. |
Cooke. Loulsburg.
Treasurer?Sheriff H. C. Kearney, |
Franklin ton.
Secretary?A. S. Strother, Louis-1
burg ' -
Recording Secretary-?G. S. Baker, |
Loulsburg.
There was a great Interest felt and
expresed by the old veterans In the
movement for a monument to be
ballt In the town of Loulsburg to per
petuate the memory of their dead
? comrades. The determination w
- very decidedly expressed that this I
monument ought and shall be .built 1
There being no other business before |
the Association, the motion to ad
journ prevailed.
Capt. Sid. Joyner President
A. 8. Strother, Secretary.
Xarth Carolina at tke Big Shew.
Active work has begun to secure a
comprehensive. Impressive and ac
carate display of North Carolina's
potential resources al/ products of
all Mula at the Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition at San Francis-1
so, California. February 20th to Dec
ember 2nd, 191$. In this most lm
movement the., agricultural

by Gov. Craig to represent
North Carolina, the great Industries
aad the people of the State are Joln
tog hands In order to make a display
Commonwealth which will be
worthy, attractive and con
Hie agriculture department will set
Mt the agricultural resources, the
w?o?a aad timbers, the minerals, the
Midi?? stones and gemk> and it Till
?ot oaty avail Itself of the rich res
et Its musem, by far the ffnest
of Waahington, bnt will sup
it these by fresh collections of
Hall grain, greases, cotton
toteeco, peanut? other crop4. It
Win be left to the great textile and
fcftaeoo manufacturing Jg&ap to
illustrate the manufactured products
I of cotton, wool and tobacco.
The agricultural department desire.?
[ that each county specimens of the
| best props shall be carefully harves
ted and prepared and due notice given
so these can be collected. In the cast
of small graiu the samples should be
selected and put up in the sheaf, not
only as to length of stalk, but situ o!
heads, and there should be two speci
mens of each crop, so one can be sent
to the exposition and the other used
by the department In other parts of
the country and In the musem There
should bejalso two samples of the
grain, half a bushel each. Two sam
ples of grasses, clover and veteh
should be prepared In the same way.
As to corn, five ears of any notable j
crop or variety should b-; saved.
North Carolina leads the world In the 1
yield of corn per ijore. 23? -busheU
having been gathered.
It is of particular Importance that
t>ne specimens of'cotton and tobacco
should be secured. North Carolina
holds the record for cotton poduct
ion. seven bales on two acres, and the
State leads all in the average yield
tc the acre, last year this being. ?3
pounds of lint Every part of the
State where tobacco is grown should
see that meritorious specimens are
secured. In all products are to be re
presented in what will be the most
Important exposition to the South
ever held; truly an occasion of op
portunity for this section of the
county and certainly for North Caroli
na. which offers so great a valety of
advantages.
Another important exhibit -will be
of apples. Twice this State has won
the United State* championship as to
apples, and It is a profitable fruit. The
agricultural department will at once
begin to look after the orchards, hav
ing a complete list of the commercial
ones. .
The agricultural department will
make,-from Its musem largely, a dis
play of woods and building stones,
but It desires to get specimens of any
building stones developed which are
of merit, so the latter can be- prepar
ed for exhibition.
The department also desires Infor
mation as to the location of oak and
popular trees of notable slxe, which
would be Impressive in a photograph.
These two timbers are especially Im
portant because North Carolina sur
passed the Pacific slope in the size of
these trees. Photographs of such
trees should be sent to the depart
ment. In cases where It is conven
ient to take them .so they can go In
a picture film illustrating the State;
otherwise the department should be
informed as to their location.
Mr. In ?toe's Position.
The following letter from Mr. In
scoe wljl give his Ideas upon several
questions that will e of Interest to the
people.
Dear Sir:
In your issue of May 15th. Mr.
J. S. Roberson of Franklin re
quests that I express my opinion re
lative to certain reforms in our coun
ty gevernment.
I did not answer hia letter last
week because I waa very busy, and
art of the time away from home.'
Tirst, he wished to do away wltfc the
office of County Treasurer. I have
heard several expressions in favor of
this measure. This, however, is not
a matter that would have to. go before
the Legislature In. I am correctly in
formed. The office of County Treas
urer can be abolished by the action of
the Justices of the Peace of the Coun
ty (Revisal of N. C. Laws, Bee. 1395).
Second, he wishes to put the sever
al County officers on a salary. This
I think, should be done. I have heard
many expressions favoring this plan,
and I think such legislation will 'be
demanded of next General Assembly.
If the people want this arrangement
made. X assure Mr. Roberson that
I shall beready to ask It of the next
General Assembly of which I .expect
to be a member.
Some people with whom I have
talked seem to think that the present
encumbents of the several County
officers would be opposed to this.
I have not discussed this matter
with any one ot them, nor have d
heard them refer to It, but I know
them all to be gentlemen of the high
est type and I do not belter* (or ? |
moment that any of them would op
pose any legislation that would be
Democratic or progressive.
I should be glad to hear express
ions from other? relative to this.
Tours for service,
Joseph T. Inscoae.
