THE FRANKLIN TIMES A- F. JOHNSON, Editor and ManaKtv One Year ... . Eight Months - - ^ 1JKI Six Months . . - .75 Four Months ... .oJ The electors met in Raleigh on last Tuesday morning and cast the veto for President. Mr. D. E. Hender ?son, of New Berne, was made messen ger to take the vote to Washington. Senator W. M. Person has intro duced a bill to abolish the crop lien law of North Carolina. This is a good move and our Senator is to be i*ou- I gratulated. The crop lien system is a means that makes it possible for j both farmer and merchant to tak-3 ' great risks, which often results in loss j to both. The United States Supreme- Court on Monday gave out a sweeping de cision upholding the Webb-Kenycn bill, which makes it unlawful kr whiskey to be shipped from one state to another where there is a Staie law against such shipment. Prohibition ists consider this action second in im portance, tli^ir cause, to the pro posed Constitutional amendment. The Raleigh Daily Times of Tues day in a& editorial took notice ot Gov. Craig* inconsistency in refusing to pay Judge Hood for holding the term of Court at Kinston in connec tion with the lynching trouble, with out special authority from the Gen eral Ass-emfcly and at the >aiue time payiug out the money to the State convict families without such a war rant. It closes by suggesting the Legislature have the former Gov ernor reimburse the Saate in thai amount from his personal funds. Representative Newell has had a bill passed in the House providing that an auditor may be appointed for Franklin County immediately at a salary not *to exceed $1,200.00 per year. The same bill also provide for the discontinuance of the Cler* for the Clerk of the Courts office, and the nine deputies to be appointed by the Sheriff outside Louisburg town ship, and also places the salary of thfc Clerk of the Court at $2,000 u0 per.year. In another bill, by request of the County Commissioners he will try tn have thfi tax listing system changed back to the old plan in use six or eight years ago. He has also Introduced several special road bill; for several of our townships.
