The vote In Tnesday's election is

What's the use of passing ordin
ances prohibiting persons from cut.
ting up the paved streets? A similar
ordinance has been passed| several
times before and the people cut them
np at will.
The new County Home Is almost
completed, and will be a credit to
Franklin County, a monument to the'
Board that built It, and a most need
ed comfort and pleasure to the in
mates for whom Franklin County has
to care.
It's a pity the Highway authorities
of Granville County can't devise some
means of completing the road from
Hester to Wilton in order to open up
State Highway route 66 and to re
lieve Itself of around ten miles of
road to maintain as well as to relieve
franklin County of around five miles
to maintain. With the heavy traffic
from Raleigh to Durham over the
State Highway, this additional west
ern ontlet would become very popu
lar and be much used. We hope our
neighbors will put their heads togeth
er' as well as their efforts and get
thi. road in shape so the State will
ta%e it over at an eraly date. Just
a few days works on the part of Gran
vill County will save both the coun
ties a large sum of money besides
give the traveling public a very de
sirable western outlet.
The request of the ladies of Louis
burg presented to the Board of Town
Commissioners on last Friday night
that the town provide removal of
garbage and trash from receptacles
properly placed in the residential
part of town, is a reasonable request
and should be met The fact that
the present contract with the street
cleaaer doesn't provide for such serv
ice and therefore no change can be
made is not sufficient reason to re
JeCt the request. ? The contract does
not provide that it cannot be added
to for additional pay nor that another
contract for this additional service
cannot be made. It is service of this
kftidi that contributes greatly to a
healthful and beautiful town. We be
lieve our Commissioners want our
town to be both, and that they will
give this request further considera
tion and favorable action.
. In its efforts to organise and its
first year of operation the North Caro
lina Cotton Growers Co-operative
Marketing Association pointed to the
California raisin growers organisa
tion as an example as to what could
be dons for the cotton fanner. Yet
the raisin growers have raised the
price from 8 cents a pound 'to above
tOy cents and Increased the demand
many times. Just the opposite the
Cotton Association has sit by and let
the demand decrease If any change
and the price seek the bottom. The
raisin growers neither had all raisin
growers signed nor a full delivery of
all made. If the Cotton Association
had been aa anxious to build a friend
ly spirit for the farmer among the
mill men and the time merchant and
to Increase the demand by lntroduc.
ing cotton into new channels and In
creasing its use in the present chan
nels, as they have been to preach
loyalty to Its members, the present
crisis would no doubt, never have
come. The farmers need a coopera
tive selling plan. Lets hope the cot
ton association will liberalise it con.
trget so that its members can feel
thflf they will have eome say-so In
the operation of his business and that

with beautiful leaved from, the forest

About seven-thirty o'clock after
