mented.
The Business Men's Association of
Louisburg met In the court house on
Tuesday night "with a ramy good mtm.
ber present.
President Davis stated that under
the Constitution this was the regular
time for the election of officers and
through this announcement Indirectly
Informed the membership that the As
sociation was one year old ? and his
report of the activities for the first
year shows that it Is quite a **oui,,",g
youngster.
Before taking up the election of L>l
rec? ? I Ident Davis read the fol
low. j report:
To the Members and Board of Directors
Loulsbrug Business Men's Association,
Louisburg, N. C.
Gentlemen:
Herewith I beg leave to submit this
report of the activities of your Asso
ciation for the first year of it's organ
isation and to make a few suggestions
for It's program for the coming year.
A few of us seeing the need of doing
rcmething to promote the business in
terest of the town met from time to
during the winter of 1922 and
lii? ' rying to find a way to get our
business men to see the necessity of
unitltir; their efforts to Increase the
business interests of the town, pro.
l-ote r.~"' Industries and make the
town generally a better place in which
to live. As a result of these meetings
the organization of the Business Men's
Association of Louisburg was perfect
ed in March 1923 with from fifteen to
twenty members. Realizing that or
der in everything was necessary for
united effort a Constitution and set of
By-Laws were written and formally
adopted.
The first movement to be brought
up before our Association- was the re
establishment of the Auction Tobacco
Market. This undertaking deserves
more than passing mention. When
the movement was commenced we
were told that the big companies
would not send buyers to a town after
they bad tjeen taken away. M,uch cor
respondence and several committees
sent to Richmond brought nothing but
uncertainty and doubt and for several
months the efforts seemed destined to
fall. The determined and united ef
fort at last succeeded however and
buyers were promised for our mar
kets. After this difficulty arose and
It was not until further effort and con
siderable money had been put into the
cause that the market was finally
opened. At the close of our first sea
son an official report from the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that the
Louisburg Market sold over 3,500,000
pounds of tobacco and that It paid out
$600,000.00 Jor It. Without the open
market this" tobacco would have been
sold in other towns, this money paid
out and, to a large extent, spent else
where. It will be a matter of inter
est also for our friends and patrons
to know that out of 46 Auction Mar
kets in North Carolina only 20 Mar
kets sold more than we did while 25
sold less than we sold.
Among the objects Bought by the
Association as stated in the Constitu
tion is that of promoting the welfare
of the people of Louisburg and the
surrounding country. To this end
we have added an effort to promote an
even more kindly feeling between the
people of the country and those of the
town. Our welcome signs on the prin
cipal roads leading into town have re
ceived favorable comment and the
Idea Has been copied by several of the
neighboring towns.
We have Inserted advertisements In
the Manufacturer's Record offering ln
1 WScements for new enterprises. These
have resulted In the establishment of
a new ice Plant and other Inquiries
which may develop Into enterprises of
value later.
As a result of concessions granted
by the Board of- Town Commissioners
we are assured an adequate supply of
Ice at prices both wholesale and retail
as low as those charged In Raleigh
and other neighboring cities. Besides
being a great comfort and saving to
the citizens of the town this will be a
material help to the town as a distrib
uting center.
The early morning mall service
comes as a result of our efforts with
the Post Office Department. This ser
vice will be put on July 1st, or sooner
By it we will get the papers and let
ters at the commencement of the day
Instead of at noon. It means also that
the patrons of the six free delivery
rontes which are served fro? the
(Louisburg Post Office gnt the sapie
service as those served from Raleigh
and other large cities of the state.
A movement for a government Poet
Office Building for the town has been
started with Indications of success
City delivery of mall for the town
has been taken up with the Poet Office
Department. We are told that we are
Entitled to this service and that v

members of the marketing association.
The organized tobacco farmers took
tective control of their election through,
out the three states covered by the
marketing association, turning out in
groat crowds at many of the iarge
markets. The meetings in South Car
olina took on the nrture of & celebra
tion at several points, and resolutions
of confidence in the tobacco associa
tion and its management were passed
according to reports reaching Raleigh
headquarters where the selection of
hundreds of electoral delegate! by the
members have been recorded.
Thousands of Vi'.ginia growers at

ANNUAL DEBATE.
In the annual triangular debates
this year, Henderson entored the race
and Oxford, who has always been one
corner of our triangle was changed to
debate Henderson, while Louisburg
and Franklinton were left alone to
combat the question of: "Whether
the Inter-allied War Debt should be
Cancelled." The debate was In the
Graded 8chool auditorium and I^ouis
burg produced one of the strongest
teams this year that she has had. Miss
Robinson, who had it In charge, is to
be complimented on the results of her
careful training for each debater was
well prepared to defend his side of the*
query. The affirmative side remained
In Ixjulsburg to debate the negative
side of Franklinton's team. Louis, j
bur* was represented by Jewel Clark
and Willie Bledsoe. This was their I
first year on the team. Franklinton
won, but few knew that they were not
experienced debaters, so well were
their speeches delivered.
The negative side represented by
John Mills and Dunham Taylor, went
to Franklinton to debate their affirm
ative team. These two boys were col
leagues last year and won out over
both Fi-ankllnton and Oxford, thereby
going to Chapel Hill for further com
bat. They proved a match this time
also for Frankllnton's well-trained
team and brought hack a decision In
favor of Louisburg. Our team bids
fair to win the 8tate Championship
yet and by another year. It will doubt
leas take th* Loving Cup at Chapel
Hill. Both our affirmative and nega
tive sides represented the achool with
much credit and Louisburg Graded
School Is praud of their record.

RADI ATION RECITAL AT LOCIS
Bl KG COLLEGE
-
| It was with more than the Usual
I pleasure that a large number of an
tic'lpatlve friends gathered in the au
ditorium of Loulsburg College on Fri
day evening, April fourth, for the
g. aquation recital of Miss Ruth Louise
Taylor, reader, assisted by Miss Mil
dred Waters, pianist. It may well be
that, being one ot the most gifted
students of the Expression Depart
ment, Miss Taylor had won the hearts
of her audience even before her pro
gram began.
In the first number. The Ghost
Story, a comedy by Booth Tarklngton.
Miss Taylor showed her usual re
markable ability In the flexible im
personations of the character of
George, the nervous, exasperated, and
Vet resourceful lover and that of the
equally resourceful and popular Anna.
The Lion and the Mouse, a story by
Charles Klein In which the tragic ele
ments as well as the happy ending
were admirably depicted, waa most
enjoyable as handled by Miss Taylor.
The monologue, Angellne at the
Seelbach, filled the hall with laughter
as Miss Taylor ingeniously gave us In
tbe character, Angellne, the experien
ces of the rustic at an up.to-datg ho
tel.
This varied program of readings
was made stlli more delightful by the
three f'nely rendered piano solos of
Miss M:ldred Waters, who has become
!a great favorite among mnstc lovers
