This is the kind of acts they should
have been doing for a long time.
Whenever they wish to hare the row

PROVIDE A COTTON YARI)
That LOUidtWi* Is badly in need of
?a Cotton Yard that will be convenient
for the buyers as well as the grow
ers has been again forcibly demonstra
ted this werf, , when merchants oc
cupying storej on the streets now
used for cotton wagons registered ob
jections to tfce no parking regulations
that reserve^, .this space for cotton
wagons, upon the grounds that it In
terfered witii tfciir customers getting
to their stoffes Conveniently. This is
a just complaint and Is entitled to be
heeded and. i Mags more forcibly to
mind the necessity for Loulsburg hay
ing a public i cotton yard where the
farmers can take their cotton and un
load it and sot jip their team if they
like, while they are waiting for bids.
And the buyers should arrange to do
their buying- -on this yard. They
could easily (range to be at the yard
on certain fegRrs, and etiminate any
Inconvenience that otherwise might
be experienced from the change. This
it a question the Business Men's As
sociation can well take up and ar
range. ?. i
THE BEST EVIDENCE
The following letter addressed to
Mf. Bepa, Looiabnrg, N. C. and mailed
at. Gupton, N. C? has been received by
Supt. E. Lf. Best Aside from the
fact that its a shame that Frank)in
County has a citizen who would . at
tack an educational program that will
n at cost him one cent extra, in an
asnonymons style like this, which
fact only commands the greatest con
tempt from our best citixeirt-. it is the
beet of evidence that the Bpard of
Edmcatlon has acted wlaety, The
coming generation is entitlM} to .be
taught better judgment and better
common sense and above all a totter
moral 'standard. The letted which
bears ao name at all follows:
"dear Mr Bess 1 am Wrlghting
to you as a frind to let you know
it would Be Best for yon to drop
this high school for we don't need
it It Is not done fair if I werar you
I would Be afraid to go eny farth
er with this school, as I am a
friend to you there are so many
Pepe here mad a Bout it it Is
dangers"
The letter Itself In the best of evi
dence that the Board of Education is
acting wisely in Its efforts to give to
the children of Sandy Creek and Gold
Mine townships an opportunity to be
come bigger, better and broader cltl
lens and enjoy life more abundantly
because of the advantages offered
them as children.

ruin In the field or work wait while
we slipped away to see how the train
er was coming on with the training of
his charge. Do we not think as much
of our children! If we do lets coop
erate with our faculty often.
The adoption of the time of open
ing of school during the coming four
weeks at 8:15 In the morning by the
majority of the parents present Mon
day morning was we think a wise
step The children can react home
about ath hour earlier In the after
noon in-order' -to help pick cotton or
do any chores required by the parents.
Of course the children should go
home and not remain on the way. The
fact that it only lasts for one month
makes it more reasonable for the ma
jority. In some Instances It will be a
little more Inconvenient but we feel
that as everyone Is going to pull to
gether to make our school the best
In the history of the community we
all are going to put forth every effort
to harmonise for this short time.
We can not help but say a few
things about our Junior choir. On
every hand we hear visitors compli
ment our children upon their singing.
It makes oar hearts glad. There Is
nothing better than good music ? eith

gratulate our leaders upon the train

the boys and girls their ready res

1. "I shall awake." a. The ftollng
that "I shall awake" has been the ex*
