In a moat boautiful and Impressive
service held at Trinity Church on last
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clocK, the re
mains of Mr. Perry A. Wilson, who
was killed on the battlefields of France
were interred In the family plot In the
beautiful little cemetery. One of the
larfro.t crpaMft tl^ poaolbly OTW
attended a service In that community
Vjvas present to pay tribute to one of
the horoes of tho great world war.
The ftrst portion of the services
were from the usual "MetEodist ritual
and were conducted by Rev. W. L.
Ley, pastor of tha church. During
these services the pastor read a well
prepared paper, touching on the world
war.
This completing the church services
Mr. W. H. Ruffln, Chatrman of the
Committee on Arrangements of the
Franklin County Memorial Association
made the usual announcements about
the object and purposes of the Asso
ciation and further Announced the
fact that on account of Illness Mr. W.
PERRY A. WILSON
H. Yarborough, who had accepted the
invitation to be the Speaker for this
occasion, would not be present, but at
the very last minute he was success
ful in getting Dr. W. B. Morton to con
sent to fill the vacancy and therewith
introduced Dr. Morton.
Stating that he was proud of the
tK>ys that went into the service of their
country. Dr. Morton launched into an
r.ddress that for some time, in spite of
the intense heat of the (lay .held his
hearers with united interest. F!e said
he felt more like congratulating' than
condoling, the parents of the boys
who paid the supreme aacrritce that we
and the world might have peace and
freedom. He condemned In the stron
gest terms any one who would make
the statement that these boys went be
cause he was forced to go, afraid not
to go, or went to save his own skin.
They all went because tney were Am
erican citizens and wanteot the world
to enjoy peace, happiness and free
dom and to do a work that Providence
had set apart for them. In support of
his statement he gave the figures that
showed that out of 2200 registrants
that he examined he only found two
who tried to shirk by attempting to
evade the examination. Declaring
that our boys "went as brave men,
prompted by the spirit of Patriotism
and the love of home," Dr. Morton
concluded a most interenong address.
Mr. Ruffln then stated that he had
seen the list of slackers as prepared
by the government ana he found that
there were no slackers *n Franklin, |
All those namod In so fcr as he could |
ascertain were negroes, who moved (
from place to place as their work de
manded, and failed to receive their
call.
?The services werq concluded at the
grave wherein at the request of the
family Mr. W. H. Ruffhk !n a most elo
q Unfitly beautiful speech presented
the* flag that had draped tne gasket to;
the Hoard of Stewards of Trinity
church, and Capt. Cheatnam, of Hen
derson, made a most touching talk as
he told about the battle In which Per
ry lost his life. The body was lower
ed into the grave and after the mound
had been shaped and covered with a
bountiful share of natures richest and
sweetest flower* a firing squad of In
fantrymen of the Henderson Co. paid
the last military honor to its dead by
firing the parting salute and sounding
Taps.
A choir rendered appropriate music
throughout the entire service which
added much to make the occasion one
full of honor and esteem for one who
had given his life for us.

COMMISSIONERS
INJOINED
*
AGAINST FIXING TAX VALUES.
Dr. D. T. Smlthwlek, J. B.
Vfllllins G.-W. fori and W. M.
Pfr-yp (>mpliliiiiiu ? Tn B? H^ird
Judge Bond in Kaiefrtl, At
Kmnt 2Snd.
The Board of County Commission-^
era met In the Courthouse Tuesday for
the purpose of hearing the several tax
payers of the County whose land val
ues had been changed by equalization^
Upon meeting in the ConrtkouBe the
Chalimaa-o*-ttre Board was served
with an injunction by Deputy Sheriff
W. N. Fuller restraining the Board
from going further with the tax valu
ations for Franklin County for 1921.
The temporary injunction was signed
by Judge W. A. Devin. of Oxford, upon
the complaint of Dr. D. T. SmUhwick,
Messrs. G. W. Ford, J. R. Williams and
W. M. Person, and is to be heard by
Judge W. M. Bond at Raleigh, on Au
gust 22nd, 1921. The contention of
the plaintiffs was that in April 1921
the Board passed a resolution making
a horizontal reduction or 40 per cent
on all real property in Franklin Coun
ty and that as during the past few
weeks the Board had to a great - ex
tent placed new values on property in
many cases in excesB of the 1920 val
ues, which they could not do under
the law and their action in April.
The contention of the Board of Com
missioners 4a that they had no desire
to deprive any person or Tils rightful
reduction-, but at the same time they
realized their responsibility to the
public in equalizing the values, that
they recognized the horizontal cut
failed to correct any inequalities an4
that they understood and Had been in
formed that they could and it was their
duty to bring anout an equalization as
near as thev could- thar must nf the
cases investigated was upon the com
plaint of some citizen and many were
adjusted with the owners or the prop
erty on a satisfactory "basrs. and in al
niost every case the values were rais
ed by the owner from what it would
liiLve the 40 i^r- 4^
auction ana T5 some auove the 1920
valuations. The Board realized the
fact that the expenses of rhe govern
ment had tn be met antl it was their
fluty to meet it and they were only do
ing what .n tlipir iiulrm?n? ^ - 1,. ^
and right. However the Board, on
Momtny night, had agreed to ^withdra w
all new values and mane the flat re
duction of 40 per cent, on all real
property, and then take the individual
complaints for adjustment, relying on
the tax rate to provide the funds nec
essary for the governmental expenses.
As a matter of fact the injunction was
served before the Board had officially
announced what it would do. and be
fore any values had actually been
changed.
The action of tire complainants in
resorting to the injunction proceedings
will necessarily delay to a considerable
extent the computation of taxes and
will no doubt create much confusion.
There is quite a big difference of
opinion as to the final outcome, hut
the opinion.. of the more level headed
citizens is that there will be no sur
prise if Judge Bond orders the whole
proceedings null and void and holds
the 1920 values as correct.
(I T IN COTTON CHOP IS HEAVY.
W&shlngton, Aug. 1. ? Decline In the
cotton crop during July resulted in a
reduction of 230.000 hales in the fore
cast of production issued today by the
Department of Agriculture, a total of
8,203.000 bales being estimated as
compared with 8.433.000 bales a month
ago. The condition of the crop de
clined 4.6 points.

Summarising conditions, the depart
ment issued a statement anylng:
"Cotton suffered more than the us

heavy and the threat of continued and
increased damage is very serious. In
many sections It promises to take all

"This condition results largely from
