GOSSIP AT HOBTON*8 STORE.
It rained one day last wailKApd I
walked up to Horton's store 4t> ^tfce
crpss roads to get some tohl^co, tharf
was a buncb of the boys there talking
politics and things when somebody
said something about the revaluation
act which started an aigumtfnt with
old Deacon Griffin especially hot
against it as he has a lot of land,
about thirteen hundred acres I think,
scattered about the county.
They discussed the act pretty freely
for awhile with some for it and some
against it and finally they got to talk
ing about the men who are running
for the legislature and Bob Loyd said
that he was going to vote for Wiley
Person because he was going to bust
up' the re-valuation act and keep taxes
lower.
Pat Moran a red-heajled and hot
tempered Irishman who has been liv
ing near the cross roads for about Ave
years, had been sitting ther?^ saying
nothing but he was twisting around
and I knew something was coming
soon for Pat will talk and he is about
the brainest man in the whole Cross
roads section too.
Jim Cyrus had Just said that his tax
es were $12.39 last year but he ex
pected they would be about $50.00 un
der the re-valuation act when Pat
started.
"And pphwwat makesyer think yer
.taxes will bay so much higher," said
Pat. ^ .
"Because," said Jim, "my land has
been valued at $10,00 an acre but that
fool Watson valued it at $75.00 an
acre."
"Ain't )it wurruth seventy-foive?
, said Pat/ Tt
"Ytesit is worth a hundred" said Jim
"but it would ruin me to pay taxes on
it at that value."
"And ye think Wiley Pereson will
l.rpe yer frrom paying annymore tax
t.o ye?" said Pat.
"i ure" said Jim, "he said if we sent
bin: to the senate that he iB going to
bust the revaluation act all up."
"Yea yer phooi an-'?11?is?exactly
phwhat he wad do if he cud," said Pat
hotly, "an' its sich ignoramuses as yer
aelf as wad help him donit, and make
ther lectle farremers loike meself pay

CASEY.
DR. MORTON NOT IX RACE.
From tbe following letter It will bo
seen that Dr. Morton, for good and
sufficient reasons, states that he is
not a candidate for the nomination to
the Senate:
Mr. Editor:
I Before my candidacy for the Senate
runs away with the manager and chan
ges from "jest to earnest," it may be
j well for me to "come" out," that my
friends may know Just how: matters
stands
j Ini the first place, I desire to say
that I am not a candidate in the sense
that I am seeking the nomination,
i During the last 37 years, I have held
| six pastorates, ao one of which r/as
; ever sought by. me individually, or
i in'difectly through influential friends.
! And with this record, I would hardly
krow how to go about seeking any
public office formyself.
In the next place; I am not a candi
date in the sense i hat I specially de
sire tfie. nomination. By this I do not
ljiean to say that public office is not a
-rtnng to be dcoired .?Rightly to?lata
chosen by a great constituency to le'p
. jfiaes-t them t5L tfie balls of legislation
is an honor greatly "to be esteemed at
any time, nntl_esB??jallv at the ^res^
ent. For never si rice the d'days Of fe
constructionTjuSt ~after tlio civil- war,
1 ave there been issues so many and
gr> <yro?t no there are today. And
these issues are calling for and de
^mandlng a satisiactory solution . And
the tttftU who" Is 1'5'lipd tu this?great
task may esteem it a distinguished
honor.
Some of my friends, and Franklin's
best citizens, have urged me to enter
the racefrtr the Senate, and have as
sured mVufr' my interests should be
taken care of without active cam
paigning on my part.
And since you. Mr. Editor, perpetra
ted the "joke" of my hat in the ring, a
surpHsingly large number of citizens
from different parts of the county
I have assured me of their support, and
insisted in my running. 'They cause
I me to feel that I am not a whit behind
.the chiefest of the desirables. And
under the delightful pursuaslon of so
| many. I am beginning to roaliza the
I danger of being hypnotized unto yield,
ing to the siren voice of the political
bee, and to take chances with them
running for the Senatorial togs.
In order therefore to forestall any
mv part, and before
It is too late, I hasten in the next and
last place to 6ay that"I am not a can
didate -in any sense whatever, for the
reason that, even if I should* run the
race and win the prize, (as I should
certainly expefct to do), I could not
serve. Because the Increasing duties
of \ny office and the rebuilding of my
home exact every moment of my time
and every dollar of my money. '
Like every good and patriotic citi
zen. I am Interested in good govern
ment, whether It be of thft town, the
county, the state, or the nation. And
if-it were necessary, I would be will
ing, at any cost, to serve them to the
essary in this instance, And I am
sure my friends will not fail to ap
preciate my position and approve my
course.
So thanking them each and every
one for their kindly interests, I trust
they will bestow whatever support
they might have given me upon the
most available man in the-^county?
Available, not in the sense of being"
easily prevailed upon to accept office.
But available in the sense of being
most useful and usable li> the senB? of
befiifc safest and sound in dealing with
al\ the Interests of a iT the ppmrle?
moral, the social, the industrial, the
economic, the educational, the finan
cial and the political interests of the
entire county and senatorial district

BfcTTKH HlntttT CONTEST
What will prove to be one of the
moBt interesting campaigns In Frank
lin this year vitTbe the better bis
cuit contest to be put on by Ihe Home
Demonstration Department. The fol
lowing letter from Miss Smith, will
givfr full explanation
Ltouisburg. N. C., Mar. 13. 1920^
Dear Teacher:
1 have several sacks of flour, buck
ets ol lard and cans of baking powder
to give as premiums in a "Better Bis
cuit" content which T hope to have In
this County. Any girl may compete
provided she has made biscuit as many
as. five times or will make five times I
before making them for exhibit. Any
woman may enter.
j Where there are as many as twelve
girls exhibiting and six or more wo-1
men, two prizes will be given. In
this way girls will not have to com
pete against women.
There will be no trouble for teach
ers. Each competitor will carry 12
cut biscuit to the school house on the
day set for the judging. These will'
be arranged on plates or paper nap
kins with girls nume on paper slip by
her plate. The women's exhibit will
be arranged apart from the girls' on
separate desk or table. A competent
judge will go down, judge the exhib
its and make a talk on biscuit making.
I would like for each exhibitor to be
present and as many of the other
neighborhood women as you can get
out.
One. school is going to have a dra
matized story, another two minute ex
ercises by each grade (selections
which they have learned In regular
school work); another, a spelling
match, etc. at this hour. It would be
a good idea to have children sing some
familiar songs. Of course if you do
not care to have anything but the Jud
ging. we will finish that, in half hour,
i mink. . i**?
Please let me know by return mall
.If your school and community will
[enter and about how many girls and
. ivoaen will exhibit.? T feel surg. thai
I the majority of schOT5FgTr!irwill enter
J if the teachers are interested them
selves. ' In some cases the Woman's
club as a whole will enter.
When I learn approximate number
of competitors-, t- will send you suf
ficien* copies o t "Hints on "Biscuit
]Making" to supply them. The date
| for each contest will be sent also,
| when I Know Jur.t which schoola enter
: May I count qh each teacher's co<5|M
ertition in this campaign for, bettgt
