MAX GARDNER. To Comrt House Full of People In Lon Ifcburg Tuesday?One of Best Spee ches Delivered Id Louisburg In Some Tin*. Declaring that an Equal Opportuni ty is what he wants to see every per son in North Carolina and the Nation have," Hon. 0. Max Gardner, North Carolina's popular and distinguished Lieutenant-Governor delivered one of the best speeches heard in Louisburg in many years to a Court House full of people 'Who thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it. The speaking was a part of the Fair programme but on account of t*1? threatening weather it was changed to the Court House instead of at the Fair Grounds. President Ben. T. Hol den In a few well chosen remarks pre sented Mr. Norman B. Hedgepeth, one of LouiBburg's leading young attorneys who would introduce the speaker. Mr. Hedgepeth's remarks were es pecially well selected and justly com plimentary picturing tlje speaker as one of North Carolina's Sons who had won his way in the world by his own efforts, and now was doing himself and North Carolina credit In the important ofTice of Lieutenant Governor. Lieut. Gardner spoke first of the ag ricultural interests of the State, show ing how North Carolina had advanced in the line of progress since the Civil War to a most enviable plahe in the Unions importance. He paid his res pectB to organized bodies doing so much to stir up unreBt and pointed to the fact that as eighty p^r cent of our people were unorganized-a more equal form of control should pe in practice. Mr. Gardner paid a neautiful tri bute to North Carolina manhood-in tts response to the World's distress. Re ferring to the State's attitude in the Civil War being the last to enter the Confederacy and last to give over he declared that North Carolina was a ^-conservttUve-SUitg-aiuLJig was glad it i was. That now in the time of recon Istruction from the World War it would 1 be slow to act with the turmoil and trpubje breeder, and quick to bend it jself to rebuilding and more production, j In speaking of the wealth of the State he showed where CjTortii Carolina paid iftjfrevenue twelve millions of dol lars in a few mouths ihis rear and one hundred and four millions in 1918, showing that it was one of the rich States. As evidence that it was not a selfish and miser state he said that in all the war work campaigns, liberty loans, etc., North Carolina had taken $3,4S5.00 for each soldier tliat had an swered the call of his country from 'the State. I Declaring ignorancc one of the i greatest curses that a person or coun try ever had to contend with, he made ; a pretty plea for the compulsory school law, stating that a person who could ami would noi send his ^ children to school ought to oe made to i do so. "I don't believe c;l persons I wore born equal," ?the wpeaker said, "but I do believe that all of them should be given an equal opportunity to go out into the world and measure up to mm i mi p ii in Speaking of the present crisis be 'tween capital and labor he says that in JThe midst uf this question tire world j seems to have lost sight of the unor ganized population'' representing at least eighty per cent. I Declaring his oppositiou to the pres ent bill in Congress providing military training or any other measure making such training compulsory he says he believes the only thing necessary is to give every person an equa: opportuni ty to work out his life's problems in God's bright Sunshine^ind pure air and when the time comes, if ever it does, j we will be found capable oP breaking I any line^of defense like the boys of the 30th did the Hindenburg line. The speech was a fine piece of liter ature and was well delivered. Lieu tenant Governor Gardner has made a i most favorable impression on Fra'nk I lin County's people in his first public (speech in Louisburg which is unani mously declared to be a gem. President Holden extended the hear tiest thanks to the Speaker in behalf ] of the Fair Association ana the large | number present for the excellent ad dress he. had just delivered.

The people of Franklin County will erect in the Court House a bronze memorial tablet to commemorate the ser vices and sacrifices made by her sons in the World War. Contributions will be received from every one* however small, as the plan is to make it a testimonial of the people. The tablet will contain the names in full of every sol dier from Franklin County who died in camp or on the fields of France?no distinction is drawn* for the soldier dying in camp while training as truly sacrifloed his life as if he faced the guns in battle. The records of the Local Board have in their entirety been sent to Washington, and besides the Board had no record at all of the soldier after he was accepted at camp; hence it is asked that the relatives of every soldier who died in service will give his full name, Company an(f reg iment, if possible, place and date of death. These names etc. may be given at kny time to Dr. A. H. Fleming, Mrs. Henry C. Taylor or Wm. H. Ruff in, and a record will be made of same.
