FLAT Kui'K BAPTIST CHCHC'H
SS New Members ? 80 Bj Baptism
Flat Rock Baptist Church, already
ode of "the largest and most useful
churches in Franklin county, has just
experienced a most marvelous work
of grace which resulted in the addi
tion of 86 new members ? 80 by bap
tism. On last Sunday, the baptismal
waters in the large stone baptistry
near the church were continuously
troubled tor one and a half hours when
I one after another went down into the
(-water and publicly put on Christ in
j baptism. Among those thus baptised
I was.one man 97 years old. It was the
I largest baptism the writer ever wit
nessed and the audience was the lar
gest. ? ?? ?j*"
The pastor, Rev. Charles B. Howard
was assisted in the meeting and also
in the administration of the ordinance
by Rev. J. A. Mclver of Louisburg.
These two men of God, full- of faith
and the Holy Spirit, for ten day# gave
themselves continually to prayer and
to the ministry of the word, and the
grand old church was present at each
service in great numbers giving Buch
help as is always lndispensible to a
great work of grace, and hence the
wonderful outcome ? many souls sav->
ed, and many reconsecratlons ? a gen
uine revival.
One outstanding feature of the meet
lng was the fact that the church waB
aroused to a sense of its duty and abll
ity to form a field of its own and to
call a pastor for all his time. This
was truly a great meeting. Only eter
nity can tell how great.
WHY MERCHANTS
SHOULD APVEFTI9E:
One merchant, who Baw a farmer
carrying from the express o.flce a
large package of goods bought from
outside sources, had his eyes opened
to the value of local advertls'ng. re
ports the Ooldsboro Record, which
tells about the Incident in an inte
resting way.
The Franklin Times would like for
every merchant in Louisburg to read
this Incident and think about it care
fully until he fully understands the
message given. The local merchant
expects the home paper to do all It
TTan to build up the town, to adver
tise its possibilities and to be a real
commun.ty leader Thi s the paper
wants to do and will do whether It
receives the full support of all those
engaged in business or not. It is the
best Interest of the community, how
ever, for our local business men to
realize that a sign out on the highway
cannot h? brought to the home ot a
customer for him to read.
The Ooldsboro Record says:
A farmer who was carryllng an ex
press package from a city mall order
house was accosted by a local mer
chant with the words: Why didn't
you buy that bill of goods from meT"
he asked. "I could have sav*d you the
express, and beside you have been
patronising a home store, which helps
pay the taxes and build up this com
munity."
With characteristic frankneie the
farmer replied. Why don't vou patro
nise your home paper and advertise
your goods? I read It and rtlSn't know
you had the goods I have here, nor do
I see your name In the paper Inviting
me to come to your store."

RECEIVES 18 PEB CENT
Raleigh, August 15. ? The close ot
tha first year of operation, shows
that the North Carolina Cotton Grow
er* Cooperative Assocmtllon has re
ceived 185,420 bales of cotton, approzl
mately eighteen per cent of the total
of the State ? a fairly good show
ing for the first year and a larger per
centage than is shown In the report#
of any cooperative cotton association
in Uke South. J
To the members, the assoclaetlon
has advanced a total of 22 cents a
popnd. basis middling, on all short
staple cotton. The bulk of this cot
ton has been sold and General Mana
ger Blalnck hopes to clo<<e out the
remainder and make a final settlement
before the new crop begins to move.
It 1* impossible, said Mr. Blalock. to
?tre an exact statement but I believe
that members of the association will
receive between 115.00 and $20.00 a
bale more for their cotton than the
average received by non-members.
I?ng staple cotton has not been so
marketable and ndvan-es of 19 cents
a pound have been made on all cot
ten of this character received. Further
settlements will he made as soon as
more sales can be made. Iu this con
nection, Mr. Blalock states that North
Carolina cotton farmers world do bet
ter It they abandoned long staple and
standardized on varieties of a uniform
staple of a heavy bodied type.
- Messrs. Webb Loy and Harris Tur
ner are on a visit to WrlghtsvlUe.

he should resign at once and not be
