WE THANK THEM We acknowledge receipt o! the fol lowing letter with thankB: Loulsburg, N. C. May 17, 1924. Mr A. P. Johnson, Editor-" The Franklin Times, Loulsburg, N. C. Dear Sir: We note that you cut the vital ele ments of the last aiticle that we sub milted to you for publication under the "Column Right" Issued by the American Legion. In doing this you killed the force of lh'e article. We judge from your action that ynu are a bit afraid of the political fcces that now exist. We wl3h to In Icrm you that we are well awara of the fact that some day in the near future the ex-service men of this com. munity will be the leaders of It. We a.'e the natural Inheritors of the reins. Tnls fact you cannot deny. We did not request that you publish these articles under your own name. We requested that you publish them under the name of the -American Le gion." If yon objected to, or contem. plated changing our articles, in any respect, we think that as a matter of courtesy, If nothing more, you should have consulted the chairman of our Publicity Committee. We are perfectly Willing that you publish any replies that our articles might have generated. We do not appreciate your action in this matter. You may not give a rap, but the future will prove to you that we mean BUSINESS, when we say that we are going to FIGHT for a SQUARE DEAL, as long as we are able. We will be able too fight when you are too old. If you are not willing to publish our articles, we believe that your com petitors will be. Thanking you for your past co-opera tion in a just cause, and regretting the fact that you chose to play second fiddle to "Pussy Foot" In refusing to support us In our present fight, we are, i . Respectfully yours, Jambes Post, The American Legion, C. K. Cooke, Jr., Commander, T. K. Stockard, Chairman Publi city Committee. It has always been our pleasure to do everything that we could for the interest of the ex-service men. We promised ourselves in good faith to do this when the boys were called into service. We still conrider this position equally binding now. It has been our pleasure to Bupport them in any laudible undertaking. We have given UberaBy to them and their or. ganlzations of our means and time'. We expect 4o continue to do so when we can do It Justly and In fairness to others. They have done a great work and are entitled to every considera tion possible, consistent with the feel ings and priviledges of others. How. ever there are limits to any under taking or any privileges. The part that was omitted from the article referred to was personal at. tacks against the Board of Commis sioners of Franklin County and Mr. S. A. Newell, County Attorney, be cause they hail seen lit in the discharge of their public duty to deny to the American Legion the privilege of erecting a hut on the Jr.il property. We had furnished them spade and allowed them to give expression to their feelings in several former issues, only one of which did they do the editor the courtsey of submitting their article to him or to ask for space. In the l;:stc.ncV referred lo in the letter the copy was turned in to U?e printer without the editor having knowledge of 4t, and It v/as only by cfcance and in confidence that the editor learned the name of the author. S ;ch actions and suci. articles ore contrary to news paper rules. The editor Is wholly 11. able for articles not sinned, or those signed other than by the real name of the writer, and Jointly for those that are signed. For this reason as well as common fairness ho Is supposed to and should pass on all articles be fore they are published. The submis sion of any article to a newspaper for publication automatically carrlee with It the consent to have It censored to correspond to recognized principles of publication, by the editor, and it would be Abfeurd to expect an editor to ran out and look up the author of an article and seek big consent for ? change, and more especially so when lie Is not supposed to know who the author Is. i gjMT w ma !%? ar? concerned We thank Wo want*f?> henrtlly thank these! gentlemen for having been privileged to publish a paper In I.tK, Cloudy and Unsettled ?XAM / t/ATJOlb TIME SEJi. DILL DELIV&BS GRADUATING ADDBESS ( Continued from Page One! somewhat marred at the clo&e by the sudden wind storm which broke upon the scene. However, the restraint and self. control of the actresses In vthiB trying time only served to show more clearly the thorough training which they had received. The graduation exercises at the Col lege were held In the City High School auditorium and were witnessed by the largest audience that had ever assem bled in Louisburg on a similar occas ion. The academic procession was formed at the College and was led by the Seniors followed by the other classes in order. The classes were followed by Trustees, visitors and fac ulty. All together, making a proces sion which reached more than the length of the campus. As the proces sion slowly marched down the central aisle they presented a most Imposing and an Inspiring sight. Students were massed In front of the auditorium while on the platform were seated, faculty, visitors and speakers. The exercises were opened with prayer by Dr. Thomas Carter of Van derbllt University. Music was fur. nlshed by members of the Senior Class and added much to the program. The Commencement address was delivered by the Honorable C. C. Dill. United States Senator, from Washington. The speaker was most happy in his re marks and presented his subject In a most eloquent manner. His address was most kindly and met the needs of the occasion in an admirable manner. We congratulate Louisburg College on having secured Senator Dill on thin occasion for it was a rare treat to our people to have such a live progressive Senator In their midst. No man in the United States Senate has made a more enviable record considering the length of time in office, than Senator Dill. The diplomas were then presented to the graduating class by Pres. A. W_ Mohn. Bibles were presented to each of the graduates by the College Chap lain, Rev. O. W. Dowd. Rev. A. D. Wilcox, Vice-President of the Board of Trustees made the announcement for the Trustees, and among other things stated that the much talked of cam. paig for Louisburg College, the objec tive of which is the raising of $500,000 for buildings, equipment and endown. ment, would be launched in June. He stated further that tl*e quoto of Louis burg and Franklin County is $160,000 and that if the Campaign throughout the state is to succeed Louisburg must set the pace. We believe that Louis burg is not only ready but anxious to show her appreciation of the College by meeting her quoto at once. While Louisburg Is not a town of wealth Its citizens are by no me^ns poor and the above amount should be subscribed in very short order when the opportu nity Is presented, especially as we un derstand the building program will cover three years and all subscriptions can be paid in like manner. We be lieve the glorious day has dawned for] Loulsburg College. (or Louis burg and (or Franklin County, and knowing oar people as we do we have do hesitancy In saying that they will measure up to all expectations. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. John Gore, of Rockingham, one of the Trustees of the College. Those receiving diplomas are as tol. lows: Classical ?
