come that flowed full and free Frank
listen celebrated possibly the great
est occasion In Its history when It
threw open the town on last Friday
to a Welcome Home of Company F
and returned soldiers frol France
and the training camps.
Long before the hour for the exer
cises the streets were crowded with
visitors and home folks who wore tho
glad smile that told they would join
In the great welcome to the world's
greatest heroes.
The parade formed In ttie Graded
School grounds and marched down
Main Street to Greene Street, where
it circled to tho right to Mason Street
coming again to Main Street and for
ming in front ot the speakers stand.
The parade passed in renew of Col

Mounted Marshals, consisting of a
large number of ladies and gentlemen.
Brass band of West Durnam.
250 children of the Graded School
carrying United States flags.

T7
Automobiles containing old Confcd
cr Veterans.

A trio of sailors.
Automobiles contains relatives and
friends of the members of Company F.
Automobile loaded with little tots

Other autaiiioibU'ti decorated in sym
pathy with the occasion.
After the parade had passed'and for
med in position Dr. S. C. Ford, May
or of Frankllnton, as Master of Cere
monies announced prayer by Rev. C.
L. Dowell, of the paptlst Church.
In welcoming the boys home oa be
half of Frankiinton Dr. Ford, as May
or said "I take pleasure in turning the
whole town over to you. We have a
bank and you can have trial too. If
you want it take it." His remarks
v ere short, but well chosen and tor
iLilny presented, in wliluU lie unik ui>
<Tislon to mention tne nerocs ot frame
linton left behind, viz: Shem Cooke.
Alex Harris and a Mr. Ross. In re
ferring to their departure Dr. Ford
(.aid " you to remember when
Yifl'l IV'T" '"iV " rli" ' ' I"*
pi.'. <M T r.viKJimon are with you^rrd
i r,m happy to say that the last iitca
yn: we rc"HT"iv&a the Germans and they
were leaving as fast as they could. '
Rev. T. A. Sykcs in"HJs able pre
sentation of Cotr?Sidney W. Minor,
brigaded with the British troops, but
today you are brigaded r/lth your
own home folks." In a Jiretty eulogy
of Col. Minor and his works overseas
the speaker presented him to the au
diencc who received him in a burst of
cheers.
uiad to De wit a you, well I reckon
I am" said Col. Minor in a heart full
of gladness. In eulogizing the old
Confederate Veterans he-pfctufed their
cause as the greatest in the world, but
added that the cause for which Com
pany F and its associates fought comes
next." His tribute to the patriotism
of North Carolina was especially pret
ty and interesting stating that instead
of finding chaos at home on his return
he found a wave of patriotic devotions
that imagination could not describe.
"Company P did itself proud, and be
cause of its record and its sacrifice
you have a right to be proud of it."
Reciting how he had entered the
North Carolina Guard and biB record,
he made a most beautiful reference to
Col. W. L. McGhee, who was ii? New
York receiving treatment, whom he
accredited with his- successful career
in military and whose influence and
advice he always valued and apprecia
td. The speakers reference to MaJ.
Winston in which hedeclared him the
"greatest surgeon the 30th Division
possessed" was both fitting and well
chosen and was received by a people
who loved him as did the speaker him
self.
Declaring him to be "a man when I
needed a man" he spoke well of Capt.
Geo. L. Cooke, who commanded Co.
F. in the thick of the fighting when
the Huns were run to cover and made
to "cull for the calf rope." The spea
ker knew the men did their duly while
in France but did not feel that they i
alone were responsible ror the ending '
of the war, as the German heads kept,
in dost- touch with what the folks
back home were doing and "quit while
quitting was good." The speaker
then Introduced Gen. B. S. Roystcr,
of (3xford, as the man who made the
North Carolina National Guard what
hBttsr
eulogy of one of Frankllnton's moat
beloved citizens Hon. R. Bruce White,
after which he directed his attentions
to the old Confederate Veterans, in a
pretty tribute in which he stated "that
the world will yet decide that the men
who wore the grey were right." He
was not surprised that tLc 50th Div
ision returned, with a record of such
achievements since it is recalled that
it Was made up of the sons of the 1
"Lost Cause."
In declaring that the boya had not
returned home asking favosa of any
one, but having preserved the Liberty
of the world, and made possible this
giaa aay, tney only asK ana nave a
right to demand a fair chance in life."
Referring to Col. Minor's statement
that the North Carolina troops didn't
win the war the speaker said "but
they came darned near to It." At this
point General Royster paid a beauti
ful tribute to Col. W. L. McGhee. In
speaking to the soldiers lie said a great
demonstration of this kind means two
things. First, We are glaa to see you.
Secood, We are going to sfand with
you as long as you keep your faces to
ward the right. After speaking in
the highest of praise of those who had
fallen in the fight in France he exten
ded a cordial invitation to the boys to
visit Oxford. '
The band was called on and furnish
ed music duVing an interval.
In a humorous and witty manner
Dr. Ford introduced Hon. R. Bruce
White, who stated that he was sup
posed to express the heart of the
people of Franklinton ou this occas
ion, and declared "it can't be done."
Mr. White was at his best and did well
the task allotted to framing beau
tiful and heartfelt pictures of thought
in the most choice and expressive lan
guage. It Just rolled out of a heart
as full of love and appreciation as he
was supposed to portray and he
couldn't help It. "I dreamed dreams
in this town. I have caught visions,
but never none like this day. I have
j seen things I never thought I would
see, veterans pass by, two hundred
i and fifty school children all carrying
old glory, with glory for their coun
try In their Red uross wom
en expressing the deepest and holiest
sentiment or our civilization Truly
out of the horrors of war nas come an
image of beautv."_ T'.ie ?ycn;:ei* point
ed to this occasion to illustrate that
"America is built on a solid founda
tion?the shoulders of millions of
young men who have been tried and
made good." In referring to the sol
diers he said you carried the hearts of
your home people, you carried the ho
nor of your .county, and you have
brought both back crowned In immor
tal victory. His speech was short
but enjoyed in the whole as it was so
j full of the feeling of the occasion'.
General Royster was requested to
| read a telegram which was as follows:
New York, Mar und. 1919.

Maj. Stem, of Oxford, who was in
troduced?by Mr. R. B. Whiter- *j>oke
very nicely of the fine occasion in the
making and of the service of the boys
overseas declaring that there had ne
ver been a unit of the American Army
moro efficient than the 130th Infan ?
try.
Dr. Ford then introduced Maj. S.
P. Boddie in a most unique manner
that was tlie cause of mucn laughter.
Maj. Boddie arouse saying he felt like
a "five minute horse in ? two minuto
raco." But he had something to say
to the people of Franklinton. .He re
called with the greatest fcelinefand ap
preciation the reception acco^Bed him
and his Company in 1917 when on their
way to Camp. From this Maj. Bod
die drifted into a most easy and well
directed little address that was pleas
ing to his hearers who thoroughly en
joyed all he had to say.
Following Major Boddie the band
played Dixie and the true American
spirit-prevailed.
Capt. Herman Winston, of Youngs
ville, responded in a neat, full of spir
it, address which was greatly enjoy
ed. *
Staling that an occasion of this kind
in Franklinton would never be com
plete without a message from Mr. B.
W. Ballard, whom the people were al
ways glad to hear. Dr. ^ord called
on him and Mr. Ballarti came for
ward wit I*, a talk that had become
"over full" with the spirit of the oc
casion.
The speaker stated that Franklinton
and Franklinton township sent moitr
soldiers than any town or township
in the State, that it had givcn more in
contributions and purchases of bonds
and stamps than any town or town
ship in the State and that it is now
displaying a flag with six stars on it,
something no other town has. Among
hlR many tributes to the soldier boys
who had returned and those who
would return later he said "you have
done as Jesus did?fougm for your en
emies." Mr. Ballards speech was
greatly enjoyed.
Stating that a message had just been
received that dinner wan not quite j
ready was the chief excuse for calling
on him, Mr. E. I-?. Malone, County!

1? Decision of Board of County Com
missioners Monday?Delegation of
Buyers Appear Before Board?Wei
gher Presents Petition.
I An event that took up right much of
Xju. time of the Board of uouuniBslon'
ers
rs and afforded, at least some amuse
ment for those who had seen the same
[thing attempted before, was the ap-i
j peal of the committee of Cotton1 Buy-1
i ers of Frankllnton, composed of Mes
jsrs. A. H. Vann, representing the
mill, J. O. Pernell, A. a. Joyner, B.
IW. Ballard, C. S. Williams, to the
. Board asking that they remove the
present cotton weigher, Mr. R. W. <
Long and appoint a new weigher- in'
. his place. They went into several de
tailed instances where cotton had
lost weight and where, tn their judg
ment cotton was damaged and should
be so marked by the official weigher
Their contention was that Mr. Long
was thoroughly incompetent and In
capable of filling^ the place and denied
'any personal feeling wn?te<cr.
Mr. Long, the present weigher was
; asked for his side of the question, and
' he stepped forward and presented the
Board with a petition signed by one
hundred and fourteen furuiers Baying
. that he was entirely competent and
j was giving perfect satisfaction, and
[added that the fight against him was
purely personal and entirely without
a just foundation.
When the matter was reheard in the
'afternoon, after the Board had secur
ed legal advice, the tension grew very
taut, and came near entering Into bad
feelings when in makmg a statement
in behalf of Mr. Long. Mr. W. W.
Greene mentioned the rac; that he had
heard many farmers in his section
say at times pior to the term in ques
tion that they would noi sell their cot
ton on.the Franklinton Biuret on ac
count of the loss In weights. To this
remark Mr. Ballard, of the Buyers
Committee, took exceptions and pro
'reeded to defend the high character
and honesty of the former weighers
and condemned Mr. Greene for such
statements. Mr. Greene again ad
dressed the Board and stated that he
had no Intention of casting reflections
ion any one. as he knew tne men r?
tfjjp'i tn and knew them to be* upright
gentlemen, but the fact remained that
. (lie statements were mace to him and
would be made to others If they wish
ed. At this point the xoard inform
ed i he Committer through counsel that
t':.e questior raised was out of their
jurisdiction and would have to be tak
en up in impeachment proceedings in
Superior Court.
Capt. I. H. Kearney, a relative of
the weigher and a friend to the buyers
v>?r? opportunely Interposed and sug

MOTHER'S DAY.
? Mother's day will be fittingly ob
I perved on Sunday at tne Louisburg
Baptist Church. There will bo ap
propriate music, and the pastor will
speak on two interesting topics. The
.Coronation of Motherhood and The
j Motherhood of God. The services
for the day are Sunday School at 9:45,
! Preaching at 11:00 and s:sc.
in a very pretty appeal for the ove*
subscription of the Victory Loan. Mr.
Malone has given his time and energy
to this work so completely that he is
fully enthused with its work and his^
talk was thoroughly Imbued with it
and was convincing and pleasing to
, his hearers* and won much favoratflc
comment from the many present who
heard it.
[ The speaking all completed the as
semblage was invited to tho grounds
where a big barbecue r.nd picnic din
ner was served. To say it was fine and
a plenty doesn't half express it. Fine
cue, chicken, ham. cake, pie, cream
and in fact about everything you could
I think of that was good to eat was
there in abundance and all ato to their
fill and enjoyed every bit of it.

GOOD ROAD WORK TAKING SHAPE
Co??truetIon Force In Cold Xlne
Harrb Makes Arrangements For
One-Half of Its Project.
Messrs. J. K. Norfieet, District
Manager for thi9 district of the State
Highway Road Work aud H. Hocutt,
of the Maintenance Department, wero
in Louisburg Wednesday morning to
confer with the Board of County Com
missioners regarding State and Fed
eral assistance in maintaining and
building good roads. After going ov
er the situation fully the Board made
application for Fe4eraf aw In con
attuning the road from - Kearney's
"stoTe to "Warren county, in Sandy
Creek township, from Sandy Creek
cl;urch to Halifax line in Gold Mine
township and from J. H. Fuller's,to
Wake County lino in Harris township.
They also recommendea mat the road
from Vance County to Wake County
via Franklin-ton and Youngsville, and
from Franklinton to Nash County
through Louisburg be made a part of
the State Highway, witn tile addition
of the connecting links from Louis
bum tu w j i .i'ii i n u 11! v anu irma
LOUliibhrg to Halifax county, as soon
as the roads are completed, which is
expected to be in the ?next few months.
Mr. Xorfleet held out much encourage
ment to the fronds of goo? roads and
fuller, speaking oftne
good roads in Gold Mine township
|Tuesday~7i>formed us that Messrs. T.
IW. Chandler, of Virgilina. and C. A.
|Ragland, of Oxford, were in Louisburg
tion force to leave Oxford the next
"morning for Gold Mine to equip their
Construction Camp, preparatory for
the immediate beginning of the road
work in that township. It is expect
ed that the road from Sandy Creek
church to Wood Store will be built
first. From Wood it will continue to
Halifax county line connecting up with
Halifax road system. The survey
has already been made.
Mr. F. W. Justice, of the Board of
Road Trustees of Harris township,
was in town Tuesday and from him
we l?arned that his Board had con
tracted with both the Surveyor and
a Construction Company for the erec
'Tfon of roads up to and including one
half of the bond issue, and expects tho
work to begin immediately upon the
sale of the bonds on the 19th. He
was not in'position to tell uh just
where the work would be begun and
what- part would be flrst built, as hia
Board recognizes some obligation to
tliepeople of the township in a prom
ise io work Louie 1 roads flrst. but
as the State law makes :t mandatory
that they shall build roues connect
ing county seats first. * confusion j
arises. If there is no alternative, fori
them except to abide by the State law ,
it is possible that the ro?ni from Per-1
ry's Mill to Wake will be built first,
or th?1 road from Four Bridges to I
Dunns township. Tho Board of Coun
ty Commissioners is trying to get Fed
eral Aid on the building of the road |
from Perry's Mill to Wake cou 1'
the township, which may influts.ee t.
construction of the Bunn road fir#*.
At any rate it seems that Franklini
County will soon have good roads all J
over it. as reports from Hayesville in
dicates that the two factions there
have gotten together jino rhe senti
ment in Cypress Cncrt at a point
that almost demands immediate ac
tion.
The best feat utre of the whole situ
ation is the Hoard or County Commis
sioners are contemplating the adop
tion of a County system of mainten
ance. which will be a guarantee of
good roads at all times.

A debating team from Louisburg
Graded School, composed of Misses
Mamie Hayes and Elizabeth Fergur
6on, affirmative, and Messrs. Joseph
Harris and Hill Yarborough, negative,
accompanied by Miss- Dorsctt, llev.
they engaged in the regular annual in
Jtercollegiate debate.
| The debators reflected credit upon
thair school, being one or tnree wliooh
I oat of the fifty to win on both the af
I firmative and the negative in the pre
iliminaries. From the beginning it
was predicted that the Louisburg team
J stood a good chance for first honors,
and while they did not receive them
I the judges did not find it easy to de
jcide against them. Goldsboro and
! Durham won out in the finals. Dur
I ham captured the Aycock Memorial
i Cup. Those who heard the debates
