Splendid Music. Last Friday night was observed hy Louisburg Klwanians as good roads night and although the weather was bad a good number were present. President Arthur Mohn made quick work of the formalities in order that all the time possible might be given to the program and before the close Arthur Fleming, chairman of the pro gram committee for the night was granted another half hour. Will Yarborough, in his gracious and hospitable manner welcomed the visitors and Stewart Davis presented the State Highway situation showing that Franklin County is completely rimmed to the detriment of the Coun Value Rate Dunn 1,259,631 25 Harris 1,005,993 35 Youngsville 1,680,191 7 Franklinton 3,412.070 10 Sandy Creek 845,214 27 Gold Mine 585,509 76 Cedar Rock 1,173,159 21 Cypress Creek 739,468 26 Louisburg 3,197,329 15 Total 13,298,564 " " jo above estimate of Increase and dclrcase is based on a proposed 20 cent rate which would produce as a county tax approximately $29,488.58. He also pointed out how the taxes of Franklin were being gradually in creased by reason of the good roads leading out of the county causing the produce tobe carried to other mar kets and nitu rally much of the buy ing that should be done in the county being done outside at the time of sell ing the produce. These conditions could be reversed if conditions were changed so that Franklin County Markets could be built up, . thereby adding to the wealth of the county which would In turn reduce taxes by having more property upon which to levy. At the conclusion he called on Spencer Dean, of the Board of County ty financially aa well as socially. Ed win Malone, chairman ot the Roads Committee looking Into the highway problem, reported a very satisfactory Interview with Mr. Hill and quoted him aa saying he would meet Mr. Hart at the District line on the road to Halifax any time Mr. Hart would agree to meet him. Arthur Fleming presented the County Maintenance proposition as the only proposition that has ever been offered the people ot FYanklin County that would actually reduce taxes. He pointed out that the great-, est Increase would be In Youngsvllle township where the rate would rise 13 cents on the hundred dollars, and the greatest decrease would be In Gold Mine where it would be reduced 56 cents on the hundred dollars. These figures are based on raising approximately the same total amount in the County. He stated that the county-wide system would both equal ize and reduce the taxes in FYanklln County and gave the following table ;to justify his statement: Amt. Taxes Reduced Increased $3,249 5 $3,521 15 $1,176 13 $3,412 10 $2,282 7 $4,450 56 $2,463 1' $1,922 6 $4,796 5 $27,271 Commissioners, who strongly endor sed the move as did also John Best. Will Fuller responded with a strong explanation of how he hauled much of the produce in and out of the coun ty to and from other points when they should be handled at Louisburg because the cost of hauling over the roads was so greatly in favor of the better maintained roads. W. A. Jones also responded In a scathing denun ciation of the township system and strongly In favor of the county-wide system. Harry Johnson, Blair Tucker, Bruce Berkeley and William Jackson in quartette and Mrs. Berkely furnish ed splendid music for the occasion. The meeting was a very Interesting and successful one and greatly en joyed. CASTALIA ITEMS Mr. "W. D.

"APHIL FOOLS" To Be Presented by American Letrlon At Graded School auditorium Thnrs. day, April 16th, and Tuesday, April 21st. (Franklin Times Special Writer Covers Rehearsals.)' I natehaily are a Sports writer, sense I writes up auto biographies of these here self made sports who start ed with notbin' and has made a mil lion. 1 writes nt Intervals (bout once every five yrs.) fur the All American Magazine. 1 air speidin' a vacation hear, yachting on the fair Tar and huntln' bears at Rear Swamp. I has been honced by your local eddltor. by beln ax.'d fer to write a criticism on the production "April Fools." the American legion Memorial Minstrel. Fust I reviewed the Ragged Rookies and reseaved sir prize No. one. Gf the Army ever contained four bigger fools then these boys, they musta had one set of fours consisting of Con gressmen only. Imagine hard boiled Serg. Joe GUI. tryin to teach Dave Pearce, Geo. Griffin. Garland Mose lcy and Lanky Gupton. how to drill. My next treat wus the End Men. They say that Doc Fleming is a extra fine tooth dentist. He may pull tooths well, but his natural callin is pullin Jokes. Wlllyum Jackson, sells insur ance, and his stuff is plenty of insur ance that the audience will enjoy theyselves. When I got through lis ten to Fred Morris sing "Sweet Lovin Mama", and pickin his tinner banjo, I found that my feets had got out of control and carried me clean acrost the room. Jack Brown is as full of LEP as barbecue sauce. I wuz great ly surprized to bear him yodeling, cause that is a rare talent fur a ama tour. The crowning feature of the Comedy is Pickaninny Peggy, played by little Jean Fleming. She is the worlds youngest black face come dienne, and the cutest kid that I hav ever had the pleasure of seein. The dancers are beyond descrip tion for a bush league writer like I. Billy Phillips, as a Fairy Princess, from the Land of Dreams, is so sweet and attractive, that you can't help but love her on fust sight. Hazel Allen, In a Butter Fly dance from the Gar den of Flowers, makes a butterfly Icok like a June Bug. Katherine Pleasants and Jones Parham. dancin Pierro and Plerette, are plenty good for big town acts. Babby Turner and Jack Brown, in a burlesque Apache Dance, present a side splitting act. Lanky Gupton is a feature himself, when he does his clogg dance. You have seed a pusson take eggs and make a hen set, but Lynne Hall takes chalk and makes the purtiest sun set lmaginoble. She does chalk landscapes and Doc Johnson does car toons. Dr. Johnsoa started out .In college to studyin art. but the only thing that he learned to draw well wuz SIGHT DRAFTS on his father. The male quartette Is rale good, but Dr. Johnson says that they all have some "minor" troubles. Their com edy is rich, and every one of their lo cal hits are K. O's. Ef Ziegfield could have the chorus gals in his Follies that air In "April Fools," he wood change his name to Eureka" To see Margaret Turner nose up. kind o sassy like, is the cut est thing In the world, and to see Babby Turner round In her dance Is the cutest thing In the swirl. Maude Ashley sings lak a canary and looks like a Queen, In the Finale.. Tom Ogburn, Dick Ogburn, Anna Fuller Parham, Pearl Pearce. Max Allen. Ftances Barrow. Kitty Boddie and Jessie Elmore, are a feast to the eye and their melody Is superb. Most Home Talunts hav chorus men because It U stylish, but '(April Fools" has em because they can sing Dick Jennings has a ekceptional sweet tenor. Blair Tucker could sing tenor before he could say "Da, Da." Char lie Elmore and Fred WInstead sing bear tones. Bully Massed burg sing ty dedy. Geo. Griffin and Garland Moeeley sing nonde script. Willie Bled soe sings sometimes. James Malone has one of these here political voices, wijich tries to satisfy everybody. Dew ey Underwood sings bass like a thun der cloud. Them boys alnt to say purty, but they sing their different parts so well. Leading the whole show is the New Louis burg Orchestra Bruce Berke ley, Neicy Clopton, Dr. Johnson, Frank Wheless, Stalliags, John King, with Mrs. Berkeley, as accompaaytst, have I gotten together the best .orchestra jthat has ever been organised in Louls I burg. I os!tlvely the BEST thing about the shov, is the purpose for which it is being given. The proceeds will go to purchase a MEMORIAL TO THE REAL HEROES OF THE WORLD WAR?THE MEN WHO GAVE US THEIR LIVES. THAXKS We wish to thank each friend and neighbor for their loyalty and kind ness shown us during the slokheea of car son. William. They will ly remembered by sa I Krs. -i ? '? ??
