Jonfederate veteran J. John Al len. I be -contest * is ueld under the a i'bpn.es of the University K/.ten sion dULt ion and Latin department in co-operation with high schools about the state. . The University has organised this contest to be held each year for the purpose of testing and encouraging the student's knowledge of Latin. The examination was given In a simple and direct way by requiring the trans lation of selections from Cicero and Caesar, and by grammatical ques tions. No recourse to vocabularies or lexicons was allowed, and the time allotted was three hours. Captain Allen, a gentleman seven ty-nine years of age and a scholar whose last training was received fif ty-five years ago under General Ro bert E. Lee at Washington College. Virginia, handed in a fine paper which was grouped with those rated above ninety. He submitted the transla ion for correction after thirty minu tes with his pen, and included in his discussin the old and new styles of conjugation. The Central High School of Char lotte, represented by Walter Spear man, will be awarded the trophy cup for the best paper. Honorable men tion was given Ellen Bradsher, of Roxboro, Eugenia McLean, of Lum berton, and Jennings King, of Laur inburg "We should do all in our power to encourage the zealous study of Latin by our high school students," s&ys Captain Allen. "The Latin that I learned here as a school boy at the Louleburg Male Academy with Mat thew S. Davis as my professor, has been a great aid and a wealth of sat isfaction to me all my lite. In high school, is the place to thoroughly master it." The knowledge ol Latin is essential if one expocts to know thoroughly the English language, and we remem ber the details of our high school studies longer than any others. The^ colleges eyery "whers are trying to, further the careful study of Latin in our high schools. It is a requisite in sll professional studies, and education at large recognises Latin as a best means of attaining sound English. Is not the English Mint a man car. speak or interpret, bis very best means of contact with the world T CAPTURES STILLS Capture ef stills and destruction or whisker and beer the past week in Franklin County has been reported to the TIMK8 as follows: On Monday moraine Sheriff F.

"Crops March It Ah you know, the Association Is to make final settlement on the Old Eelt, 1922 crop, of tobacco and on 35 grades of the 1923 crop of tobacco. This linal settlement Is to be made on the 16th of March. There are certain facts which I wish to call to your attention regarding both of these settlements. I am going to treat the 1922 crop first and am making very definite statements re garding this crop. ' First: The Association has paid to its members on 25 of the grades of the 1922 crop more than these grades were sold for; or, In, other words, the members of the Association have been overpaid on these 25 grades. Second: That on 27 grades of the Old Belt, 1922 crop, the members have not received as much as these gadea sold for and have been underpaid. Third: That where a member of the Association produced and deliver ed an average normal crop of tobacco, these over-payments and underpay ments will practically balance. Fourth: That where p.n exception ally good crop of tobacco has been I produced and delivered, the member | of the Association will have been 'over paid. Fifth: Where a low grade crop of tobacco has been produced and deliv ered to the Association, the member will have been under paid. Sixth: In Instances where the ac count of a member balances the mem ber of the Association will have al ready received his money and we need not discuss this account. Seventh: In instances where the members have been over paid, it is the policy of the Association to charge this over-payment against that Parti cular memDer's account, deducting it from amounts invested by that parti cular member In common stock of the warehousing corporations, and from the commercial reserve which has been contributed by that member. Eighth: Where -inder-paymenU on total accounts have been made, checks will be forwarded to these members of the Association. Ninth: You will doubtless want ex Planations of how this wh.ole matter occurred. I want to call to your at tention to the fact that no one In any of these Instances is a loser, but has or will receive every cent for which his tobacco has been sold less reason able and legitimate deductions for ex penses of the Association; or, he will repay any over-payment . from his warehouse and commerical reserve deductions. This matter should alarm ""now,-as to the explanation of how thU occurred: The entire system of -handling the tobacco of membe? o the Association on cooperative basis was a new one with us when we be ,jan to receive tobacco of the 1922 Sop. It was necessary to establish our grades. This was a difficult Job Some transfers and adjustments erf grades had to be made. Methods of keeping accounts were entirely new and we had to evolve or work out a system adequate to meet the bandlteg of accounts of the members of the Association. _, . There was an urgent demand from members of the Association for as rapid payments as It was possible to make, and the Association paid to its members money borrowed as a first advance and subsequent and future payments as rapidly as moncy was derived from sales, or equitlM In to baccos permitted. On this basis of payment, we were paying our memb ers as money was being accumulated, rather than waiting uiftll such a > time as the total pool was disposed of and !lts actual average per grade had been determlnded. In our final settlement, these percentage did not hold good on each grade pool, and weftod tlmt we have over paid on a portion of the Irrailea or paid the members more than the amount for which this grade of tobaoco was sold. This was unfor '^"rTwent plans, and policies of the Association and resolutions sdo?edby the Board ofDlfectors will P?T?t ? recurrence of a payment ot ?? kind, tor the reason that grade sc. counts will be kept of tobacco delivered to the Aeeoetar tlon and members will be paid In ac bordance with the net average per grade value of tobacco which they deliver to the Assoolstlon. As a fur ther precaution and benefit to the members of the Association, trades will be settled for quarterly aa they are dlapoeed of. .... The quarterly payments and state ments will -adequately take care of and In the futnre prevent a recurrence of this hind. In 1922, we had the second largest production of tohacoo avar known In Virginia, North and South Carolina, being second only to the crop of 1IM id being a total of ?11,000,200 .da. It was thought advisable, aa urgent demand came from the ot the Association, that Its gad oBotala put forth every to secure as high n drat ad aa possible. The Ww*W [ Kellogg Takes Oath of Secretary of State as Hughes, His Predecessor, Looks On Frank B. Kellogg wu aworn In at Washington aa Secretary of State to succeed Charles Brana Hughes. Aaaooiata Justice Pierce Butler of the United States Supreme Court administered the oath of office in the presence of Mr. Hnghea and Republican members of the Minnesota Congressional delegation. had had a year's experience with the handling and operation of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association; had dealt with its business management and had developed confidence in its business managers. In consideration of this confidence and the experience of the previous year, a very liberal advance was given the members of the Association. We inaintalned this average through out the season, even though there was much variation in the prevailing prices of tobacco. The crop turned out to be much larger than farmers, tobacconist or anyone else assumed that the 1923 crop would be. We have sold 36 grades of the 1923 crop at an average of 91.21 per cent of the bankers' valuations in cash and your investment in the ware housing corporations and the com merical reserve to the amount of 2,859 per cent. Thus, we have either given you in cash or have Invested for you in capital stock of your organization 94,076 per cent of the bankers' valua tions which was a liberal valuation on the tobacco when the total size of the crop was finally calculated. We have secured the highest prices possible to obtain, when the size of the crop is fully realized and considered and with the additional fact, that dur ing the year 1923, two of the largest purchasers of tobacco produced in this area maintained practically a boycott against the Tobacco Growers Coopera tive Association. In saying that a boycott was maintained, I refer par ticularly and specifically to the fact that the American and Imperial To bacco Companies purchased none of the tobacco delivered to the Associa tion of this year's crop. There has been for each of the dif ferent pools a sales committee com posed of three directors appointed by the Association, and these committees have passed and approved of all sales made by the sales department. I In my opinion and in my experience 'as a tobacconist, having had a long period of service in the trade, we have secured for our members a fair price for the 1923 crop Of tobacco' and have made a record for our Associa tion which we should all be proud of and which the members of the Asso ciation should recognise as being of ' material benefit to them. !

PROF. HECK TALKS TO SCHOOL FOLKS Professor Charles Heck of State College, Raleigh, spent two days In the county last, week in the Interest of sdsnos teaching.

Parker l.euls Excellent Choir ?Many tomerilons. The revival services that have been conducted at the Louisburg Methodist Church since Sunday, March 1st, came to a close on Wednesday night with one of the strongest sermons during the meeting which has been conduct ed by Rev. G. Ray Jordon, of Greens boro, assisted by Rev. A. S. Parker, song leader. It has been a great meeting and the magnificent work done by these consecrated men will hear much fruit. Many confessions have been made through their efforts. A remarkable service was held Saturday night, wnec Dr. ' Jordon preached to a crowded church on the words of Festus to Paul, "Almost thou persuadesl me to be a Christian." Logical, searching, persuasive, the ap peal reached hearts, and many mani fested their determination to accept Christ. But the most spirit-filled message yot given by this consecrated man of God, was the sermon delivered Sun day morning. The very atmosphere seemed surcharged with the Epirit of Cod. People from all the churches of Louisburg were there; they were deep ly moved. From the announcement of fife text, "Love is frofe God," it was like following the work of an artist, as with stroke alter stroke he paints a marvelous picture. It was a series of vivid word pictures, showing the power of love in human life; measur ing the awful price men pay for i's rejection; and climaxing with a ten der plea for man's acceptance of God's love. Every heart was touched; strong men were weeping; and it seemed as if God himself had spoken through the lips of the preacher. Many moved forward for prayer, and decisions were made that will mark the turning point in human lives. At the evening service Rev. A. S. Parker led the song service with un usual power,, and the solo of the hour won its way to all hearts and prepar ed the way for the second great ser mon of the day. Dr. Jordon's theme was the danger of delayed decision, the menace of waiting till tomorrow when only today Is ours. He urged men not to trifle with God in the dan gerous delusion that -tomorrow will bring another opportunity. There is limit to even God's mercy "Passed Re demption Point"?the sign that marks the death line in Niagara, may well ?varn man that his indecision may be final. Man's soul is a sensitive plant j which can be touched into insensibil ity; beware of repeated refusal, the (preacher warned. "You can never reach the place where God can not hear your call; but you may reach -Ithe limit of ypur ability to hear his (voice," be said. JUSTICE SEWS Such weather as this is making our farmers have-.to "pucker up and w his tle" to keep things going; neverthe less, everybody is enthusiastic over the rapid progress of farm work and in a short time we hope everything will be running smoothly. The musical revue rendered here by the "Carolina Syncopates" of Hollister last Friday night, was wit nessed by throngs of visitors as well as community people, and everybody l was held spellbound thru the entire | program. We hope to hare them with us again real soon. Quite a number of the school chil dren have been absent on account of i "flu" and colds, due largely to the constant changing of , the weather. Most of them are back now, and we hope no others will be detained. We are very glad Indeed that Mrs. Rice has recovered, and is back with us this week. Mrs. Mary Hopkins, who has been visiting her daughter, the assistant high school teacher, here for the past three weeks, has returned to her home in Cresswell. Miss Idoiene Wood of thiu, school has been ill for the past six weeks. She was first aken with rheumatism and later contracted . pneumonia. which has left her lungs in a very bad condition. She is yet confined, but wc hope she is Improving and' [will very soon recover. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Little William Wesley Rag land, son of Mr. and Mrs. a A.

If you haven't children that It may benefit, why not give other children who are bright and should be in school but don't hare the money to go elsewhere a chance? Just a little more tax will not hurt ?ery much. If the people would not throw away money for cigarettes and other useless things they would hare more to pay tax to some good cause. It will be a shame and disgrace if this election fails to be carried. We would hare the name of being the most ignorant and backward commu nity in Franklin county. If you haren't an education why not educate your children? They need it mil must hare it.
