Japan doesfi't seem so well pleased

difference does that make.
President Coolidge in declaring the
new tax bill unsatisfactory says its
'.tax reduction, not tax reform." No
doubt the bill will be even more popu

Governor Morrison has appointed
Hon. W. A. Hoke Chief Justice, who
immediately resigned as Associate
Justice to accept the higher position.
This Jb recognized as a wise choice and
Governor Morrison is to be congratu
lated.
Announcement has been made that
Governor Morrison will call a special
session of the Legislature for early in
July to consider the Ship and Port
project. Reports credit the Governor
with saying that he will ask that the
question be left to a vote of the people.
A wise Idea.

BATTERY B. AN ASSET
Believing that Battery B. 117th F. A-,
Loulsburg's Military organization Is o I
great benefit to Franklin County, and
deserves the whole hearted support
of the people, the followinginforma
ticn is submitted for the public:
1. The organization of the battery
consists at present of four officers,
namely, TUos. W. "'Ruffin, Captain,
Geo. D. Underwood, 1st Lieutenant,
Edward F. Griffin, 1st Lieutenant, and
William Y. Bickett, 2nd Lieutenant,
and sixty-six enlisted men. The orga
nization is equipped for war strength,
having property on hand valued at
J75.000.00. This property consists of
four 155 mm., Howitzers, the largest
mobile artillery used by the U. S. Army
twelve trctors and other necessary
equipment, two Browning machine
guns, eight automatic rifles, eighty
two pistols, 45 calibre; blankets, tents,
and other equipment necessary to care
for 114 men and officers. The govern
ment provides two caretakers for the
battery at good salaries, and spends
on the average of nine hundred dol
lars, ($900) monthly in this county
in payment of the men and the upkeep
of this battery. I think I am stating the
facts when I say that this organiza
tion has one of the biggest pay-rolls
in Louisburg'. and the town and county
are getting the benefit of this finan
cially as all of this money is spent at
home. This is the materi:.! feature of
the battery.
2. The police protection that this
battery affords is not to be discounted
lightly. While this county is a peace
ful county, yet if the occpsion demand
ed, sixtv-slx trained men armed and
equipped as this battery is, would be.
a large factor in restoring order and
putting down lawlessness. The fact
that this battery is here is good in
surance against trouble. A s rong po
lice fore?, of any kind Insures good
order. The U. S. government is pay
ing fpr this protection; you at least
owe it your good will.
3. The greatest benefit and service
that the organization renders however,
lsnot financial or protective in its
nature. In my opinion the greatest
need of our country today is young
men trained in the ideals of Ameri
can citizenship, young men taught the
proper attitude toward citizenship, its
duties and obligations .young men who
have learned self respect and respects
for the rights of the people, who at
the proper time can step forward and
take the leader ship in all progressive
movements, political, moral and patri
otic. Unselfish leader Bhip is the su
preme need of our country, and more
today than ever In its history. It Is
the purpose and hope of the officers
of this organization to Instill In the
.young men enlisted In this battery
ihese characteristics. We are not train
in* men aa soldiers to make military
machines oat ot them; we hope to
make not only soldiers but real lead
ers In ?rer respect. The military train
ing teaches these men to think and act
quickly; the result la confidence In
their own ability and self-reliance;
St teaches tbetn obedience, discipline,
and respect.) without which no man
can succeed It makes them take a
?personal pride In their appearance;
It InatmeUihem In the laws of health
Md sanitation, and finally It makes
