Wu would Tall ihe attention of the City COBatnteawi again to the con dit&n of the buttments at the bridge and suggest that ptva some rel ief. There has been a great deal?maid ?the last few months about the Coun ty's delinquent tax list lor? 1A20 am ~ oUTUIng to the unreasonable sum of $18,000. to $20,000. It looks to us it would be a good idea for the Commis sioners to publish tbis list Tor more reasons than one. It would show the correct amount that is delinquent and would also show to those who pay taxes in Franklin County the names of those who do not pay. The final re suits will be that the County will col - 4ect practically half of -the list One of. the most dangerous things the City 'government is allowing to continue in L-ouisburg, to say nothing about the annoyance and cleanliness, is the practice of driving cows on the streets* unroped. They are driven in herds of varying numbers by possibly one little- lloy-wfeo has *topped~so;mr-_ where to. |^ay marbles, and allowed to travexji^ the sildewalks, run 1 i* tie ?walks wjih nuisance, besides Jamag ing flower gardens, atr There is ab solutely no excuse for such a prac tice, and the little children should be i given more protection.

We take the liberty of again cal'tng the question of a public cotton yard, to The attention of the County Commis sioners. It occurs to us that this is a most necessary matter and since it can be established practically kt no cost to thft fioiinty. except a snia 1 1 am wount of time to pano a resolution we. feel. like some action should be taken.

THE rSl'AL THICKS, As will be seen from the following extract taken from a Washington cor respondent of the News-Observer the Ft; public ana .in mi ? TO their usual tricks: Washington. April 23. ? There is talk among some of the North Carolina members of Congress of tHaf Congress based upon Us standing der the 1920 census, if the member ship of the House is held at the pres et number. With tire contirien tal noi)l?l:?tior> of thp I *nit ml St-itn,i hn ing 105.667.000 and the 435 member ship being LUiiLiinied the ? basis Xor each member would be 232,913, and this would give North Carolina *11 members, as its per quota excess ov er th? basic number would be nearly] TO 00. The Republican proposRion is un- j derstood to be that Vermont should j have the extra member, that the ex cess in that State while but 55.000. is a larger per cent of the total popula tion of Vermont than is the North Carolina excess to its total population. This was the trend of testimony given recently in a hearing on this matter, but it is clearly an unconsti Btates explicitly that the representa tion in the House i^td be based on population. North Carolinians are a wake to tfie situation and if it ever de velops any strength they will resist it to the uttermost, and they will have the support of every representative who is guided by the constitution. IN ME MOBY. On fhe momlUg of April 18th, 1921, the Angel of Death visited a home in South Rencierson ana took from there a Jaithful Soldier of the Cross in the spirit of Bro. B. B. Collins. For many months he had been in ill health there fore the call to the Glory World was not unexpected although it was shock- to his ft lends. ^ Bro. Collins was a native of Frank lin county, having spent his earlier days in the community of Sandy Creek Baptist Church of which he was a ze alous member for many years. ~ was also a member of Sandy Creek Masonic Lodg?*'No. 185 and was bur led With Maaflnfr. honora in , tif ul little cemetery at Santly Creek j Church rtmtd a host orsorrowfng rel dtnca and friends. Although" it is hard to part with lov ed ones and words cannot fill the aching \oid we feel tnat the bereaved .cmfis_shotUd take comfort in the lact jthat th^63 years of the mortal body ,of thfe departed, brother were spent in "laying up treasures where moth and rust doth not corrupt nor thehres break through and steal." The deceased is mourued by a wife and ten children as well as three bro- | thers and mauy relatives who have our deepest sympathy in this hour of grief. ? 1>RI YfcK i)V DEATli WAGON POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED I "Picks Out Tito Llyi j As*Man Whu^Had W aeon iu Wail | Street, * Sflmnrrtw P?
