Franklin County's Responsibility.
? Now that the state ."and County
Boards of Health have prepared the
~ schedtflj-. for the vaccination campai
gns. tli# responsibility for any cases
of Typhoid Fever in Franklin County
from "fflJw on will rest squarely on
thube who ueglei-L this free protection
Through the cooperation of our Coun
ty Commissioners. Dr. L. T. Buchanan,,
of the Faculty of Medicine of Wake
Forest College, has been secured rrom
the State Board of Health 'to conduct
this campaign.
Thirty-two dispensary points have
been chosen throughout the County
which makes it possible for every fam
lly to reach a dispensary with the min
imuih trouble and loss of time. Aixl
after all, even in these busy days,
what is an hour of time lost from the
fields when it is invested in protec
tion for the Whole family against thi*>
disease which has claimed its terrible
toll in Franklin County from among
our young and most promising folks?
The three treatments at weekly in
tervals will be offered all citizens free
regardless of wealth or age or race,
There Is practically no discomfort
connected with the protection.
The provident folks who avail them,
selves of this opportunity to save liv
es and money will be very highly pro*
tected . against Typhoid Fever for
years to come. Though this cam
paign does not replace the necessity
of general sanitary lmnrovfimQ"f"
. aunh tin mmiUiry I611et? and the pre
vention of flies, it does offer a real
and a valuable protection until such
a time as will allow these permanent
Improvements to be made. It ought
not to be necessary In this day and
age to use a method of expediency,
tut U fca, i ^ ?
Here is a fine opportunity for every
citizen to show his pride in the health
of the place where he lives, not only
by seeing to it that he and his family
are fully protected, but by getting his
neighbors to do the same. The ad?
vantage to the county in this cam
of people who will be farsighted and
thrifty in this matter of protection to

Franklin's Time.
Franklin County's time has come!
Beginning Monday, July 19th, and for
| four weeks the County and State
Boards of Health will give free to ev
ery citizen in the county who applies,
regardless of race or wealth, protec
tion against Typhoid Fever for years
to come. Thrfee treatments are nec
essary at weekly .ntervals. In case
it is impossible to secure the first
treatment, there will Ml III ha lUi'iy
maluliig dispensary dates when the
treatment can be completed.
The State as' a whole has greatly
profited by these vaccination cam

alone. In several counties there has
been practically no Typhoid Fever

Franklin County will share !n this
benefit in proportion to the number ot

--- There ift a young man fo this coun.
ty, about thirty-two or three years
old, who has just returned from the
State Sanatorium where they told
' him that he has tuberculosis in his
left lung and throat.
He needs immediate treatment but
he cannot get in the State Sanator
ium under two months as they are
rravrifd ,.nni., and It he has to watt
until these two months are past it
may be too late for him.
| There are two other private san-.
atoriums in the state in either of
ivliich he can ontop-provided-he ? can
raise the necessary money but this
he is absolutely unable to do as he is
only a poor, hardworking farmer with
a wife and two small children to care
for.
His expenses in either of these pla
ces would be about thirty-five dol
lars ($35.00) per week and unless he
could stay for several weeks they
^ould do him but very little good.
. My object in writing this is to ask
that any one who may wish to con
tribute something toward helping this
Voung man regain his health, and his
chances are yet good if ho is given
immediate treatment. Bee me at once
1n my office in the Franklin Times
building.
Two months ago this young man
was a very Jolly, witty young fellow,
today he is a pale, despondent man
with very llttte hope,

TAXABLES
AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 4<>U PER
CENT.
In Real Estate Dae to Revaluation ?
Increase In Personal Property Abont
JJO Per cent.
According Co figures given out the
past week by County Supervisor of
Tax Assessments Hugh W. Perry,,.
Fraaktin County's in varies will total ' ?
approximately *23,000,000.00 for Ule
year 1920, which represents an In
crease of about 250 per cent over 1919
which was approximately $9,100,000.
00^ -This year _Lhe value of real estate
is approximately sixteen and
a half million dollars, as compared
with about four and a half last year,
while the personal property for 1920
will run up to possibly six and a quar
ter million against about, four and a
half millions last year. A very pe
culiar Occurrence in the tax valua
tions for JL919 was that there was on
ly twenty-five cents difference be
tween the total valuations of real es
tate and personal property, the latter
being the largest in amount.
It is generally conceded under the
se figures that the tax rate will be
about onp per cent, with possibly a
three-quarter rate for Loulsburg, in
cluding alj specials. However as this
is an estimate and considering the
fact that the figures are subject to
many corrections and equalizations,
there is nothing accurate in this esti
mate.
