" *, IN 1I0N0B OF MIL -DUO" MITCHI - NCR. * . -OU j <" Among the Many Names Suggested f?r The New Fish Pond?-lUfly Other Naming the new fish just com* pleted by the Messrs. Mitcli}n?r and Banks has proyen to be quite an in teresting and popular undertaking on the pari of the public. Quite a lot of~ names suggested are appropriate aitd laden with honor, interest and good fellowship, while others are not quite so good. There has been no time liro it placed on the sending in of names to Dr. C. H. Banks, LouisbuVg, N. C., but It is desired that all names be sent in as soon as possible that' the se lecting of a name for the pond may be expedited. The list sent in so far is as follows: Lake Douglas. I have suggested Lake Douglass as a mest fitting name for The Pish Pond and assign the following reasons whi ch wilt suggest the pow^r of sentiment as an element in human conduct: The conception of this large invest ment of money was founded upon sen timent which Is an atribute of the soul and mind in man. Sentiment aroused produces emotion, emotion action, thus the construction of the greatest pleas ure and recreation project that was ev er undertaken in Franklin Co.. My Idea is that the lake should be called the full, ^euphonious Douglass, the person to whom it is a memorial, be- | cause of his great lovlfig heart and at tractive personality which drew peo- j pie so close, to him and with such bin ding force. The people who knew 1 i*^ wanted to use a more familiar umu endearing term in addressing him, so l'icy called him "Dug" Mitchiner. I beltave it was largely the love and ad miration the family had for this great man that caused them to unconscious ly build a memorial which will perpe tuate his memory in the hearts and minds of all who came in contact with him. He was a man of big Ideals and a man who undertook and accomplished great things. His diversion from the every day cares of life was found in yhf> ninst innnrpnt nnri Ipsa expensive of all real sports, fishing. Mr. Mitch iner loved all created things but liis -fellowman most, was a real iWUVlMUB. Would have his friends enjoy his sports with him, and provide for their pleasure more than his own It was a Brunt [Huiismu tu tell liuw John hud caught more and larger fish than he had. We ex pee i to see this Lake one of the show places of this section of the State, motor boats, pavilions and all the beautiful thing? Xhai. nature lake of clear pure water. I anticipate the joint owners will all combine with their means, and best of all their good fellowship to make this the great future cement" ng place for many of lifes strongest and n ost lasting friendships and may be many romances will be staged here. D. T. SMiTHWICK* I saw your item in the Franklin Times wanting the people to send ii> names for Bro. .vlitchiner's new pond and I think this one right pretty,.Mit chiner's Charity Fisherie. BESSIE COGGIN, R. F. D. 4, Louisburg, N. C. My suggestion for the name of the new pond is Lake Buffaloe. J. S. MORRIS, Franklinton, N. C. I suggest name for the fish pond Lake Mitchiner or Mitchiner's Lake. This will be in memory of the Mitch iners. C. S. WILLITMS, Franklinton, fs. C.

Its a great pond ami he is a famous man so name the pond for Wilson Paine. I also think Campbells Pond Is a good name. MRS. B. P. HINTON. Youngsvllle, N. C. I saw in the Franklin Times that you were offering five dollars in gold for the one sending the most suitable name. I have decided on Fisherman's View, as ft is a pretty view and there will be a lot of fishing on It. JOHNNIE WHELE89. R'. 1, Louisburg, N*. C. I suggest the name for the pond as Lake Douglass.

All through the day crowds were seen j busy going through, examining the display of goods, making selections, I passing out by the cashier. their bills and taking their purchases out with them. In this store every I thiug is marked in plain figures and ' we are informed the management gu I arantees a saving of from 12 to 40 per cent on all purchases. Mr. Candler, one of the owners informed the editor j that the opening day sales were far in I excess of their expectation and the I many complimentary criticisms and congVatulationg to the new venture 1 were very encouraging. Many of Louisburg's population who had not beei> in the habit of carrying their purchases took advantage of the savings at this store, which promises to become very popular by taking with them their own packages.

In front of | this against a background of white ' long trailing evergreen vines bad been tastefully arranged. At eaoh end of the pulpit tall palms lifted their graceful fronds, and the center was occupied by a large clus ter of Easter llllies.

Just before the bridal party en tered Miss Ruth Hall tbfck1 charge- of the orgHir and Miss Williams impres-j slvcly sang with much feeling the! .vroYds of that beautiful song so-appr*-^ priate to such Occasions, "O Promise j Me." ji When the last tones of the song had {ceased to echo the organist burst into the triumphant strains of Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus just as the bridal party, ientered. | Rev. T. D. Collins, who performed i the Ceremony, entered from the door j at the right of the pulpit at the same; ] time'that the first two ushers.

Per son and McKinne and the friends of both are sure of the nomination of their respective cadi dates. | Now Interest has been aroused In the campaign, since three of Franklin's I enterprising citizens have- decided to |contact for the nomination of Coron |er. Mfessrs. B. H. Meadows, Hugh Wlljon and Fl G. Byrd each seem Co be anxious to hold inquests over I some unfortunates remains and real ize tha-power to "arrest the high sher llff". JJirtier of these gentlemen will Imake exceptional ofTicers. However, 'the 'Tm was thrown in the fire the oth I er day iwhen \a gentleman stated that hje knew of "a lady who was goln?

The? contest for Sheriff continues to 'wnT *firm Snmp of thnso whn nre | keeping in touch with the situation j say that it looks now like a second pri mary to name the man. All seem to agree that the main contest lies be tween ?oddie ajid Kearney and as yet the outcome 1b equal to a Chinese puz zle. *Bi>th candidates seem encourag ed on the prospects, but It Is a cereal \ ty only one can get the Job. Which one this will be is the question that is puzzling the candidates as well as the voters.?'* -Congressman Pou will no doubt havu strong opposition in Hod. H. E. Nor ris and this will bring a bouj..^, convex combination.?Since the judicial sit uation will be involved it is practical ly a certainty that Norrls will be given the strength of Franklin- County in no uncertain manner. Tht many friends of Mr. Norrls are awaiting with much Interest his declaration in regard to what he expels to do. Tbe gubernatorial race has not at tracted much attention in this county as yet. Each ojf the candidates are I fmore or less strangers to Franklin vo ters and therefore are not being dis cussed bo much. Hon. W. C. Dowd has a wonderfully strong endorsement of Hon. Cameron Morrison in this is sue and his position and statements will touch the hearts of many of Frank lin's older politicians and voters, who remember the days of fuslonism and negro participation. No one has actually entered the race for?the House against Mr. W. Henry Macon, as yet, but we are informed that it 1b practically a certainty tbat Dr. R. E. Timberlake will make the race. If he should decide not to do bo, then it is possible that Rev. J. F. vlitchitier or Dr. R. P. Floyd may en ter. One of the most available men ,and possibly one of the best that could be selected is Mr. J. B. King. However the latest thing to develop in Franklin politics is that "Capt. Thomas" informs us he is going to run for Sheriff and beat the field. He says he expects the President and Dick Wiggins to support him and that what it takes to get the nomination he has it. It will be noticed that since our last article two candidates have pitched their hats in the ring for Commission er, Mrj B. C. Johnson, of the Pearce section? and Mr. W. C. Wilder. Mr. Johnson is a successful farmer and a level headed, business man and his friends say he will make an excellent official. Mr. Wilder is_tbe son of the ^latc "Billie*" Wilder, who served the , County as Commissioner for many years, aiul is a progress i ve-yotmg man who wishes to serve the public. ?Tin* v.iHiilr. iti grning full nf rnnrii dates and much real interest is expec ted before the primary settles the win^ ncrs.
