V LOUISBURG, N. G., FRIDAY, JUNE 15tfc 1928 (10 Pagta) NUMBER 17 COUNTY CONVENTION ENDORSES SENATOR SIMMONS E. H Malone Made Permanent ? Chairman Delegating To State and Congressional Contentions Selected; Past Kesolu. tion Asking that Six Months School Tax Be Equalised Throughout State; Delegates Vnlastrueted The Democratic Cobnty Convention which was held la Lnulsburg-on Sat urday passed off smoothlyand very harmoniously. The delegates to both the State and Congressional conven tions were selected without contest and without being Instructed. The only hitch came when Col. W. M. Person offered a resolution rela. tlve to relieving the tax burden on land and attacking the administrations since the war tor having taken from us our liberties and privileges. Ob jections were raised against Col. Per son's resolutions on two grounds In particular. The first was that a re. solution had been previously adopted relative to the tax situation. Second, that the administrations we had had, ocing democratic were of our own making and It didn't behoove this convention to condemn it. The reeolu tion was promptly tabled. l.'pou motion of S. P. Boddle the 1 .wing resolution was unanimously ed: the Franklin County Democra ts , .ventlon assembled In Louis. It. . t'., on June 9th, 1928 desire to gc c. j ord as endorsing Senator F. M. Si.. : .'jus for reappointment as National Committeeman from North Carolina." The convention was called to or clfc. uy Chairman E. H. Malone, of the ~v.oi.jiy Executive Committee, who ?us j.-de permanent chairman of the contention, and A. F. Johnson was made permanent secretary. After ex. piaining the objects of the gathering a.,d the formalities of opening had been completed business was taken up. A motion prevailed that on account (Vt Sandy Creek township having nam ed no delegates to the county conven. tion that this convention elect J. E Collins and J. H. Joyner as delegates to represent Sandy Creek Township. Upon the Invitation from Louieburg township Cypress Creek joined Louls burg In selecting delegates to the var ious conventions. A motion prevailed that each pre. cinct delegation should select its de legates from its number attending. A motion leaving the division of the delegates from the standpoint of Instruction, also be left to the Indi vidual precinct delegations. The chairman then called for the nomination of delegates for the State Convention which were received and upon one motion were elected. Dunns?J. M. Stalllngs. Alternate, J O. Williams. Harris?J. B.

McKlnne offered the follow ing resolution which was unanimous, ly adopted: "Resolstd, That It is the constitu tional obligation of the State and Its manifest duty not only to supervise but also to support the public school system and to provide adequate re venues for that purpose, so that edu. catlonal opportunity and the burden of taxation maybe more nearly equal ised in the several counties." x The following resolution was offer ed by W. M. Person: First: Be it resolved that the people of Franklin County'are-In favor of the radical reduction upon lands and I tangible property without any tm. I palrment of our Public School system; I RAISE $2,800 IN 'FEW MONTHS Colored People Take Interest In Rais ing Honey To Purchase a Desirable Mite for High School; Rosen n aid Fnad To Assist The colored citisens In and near Loulsburg are to be congratulated upon their succeastul efforts In rais ing $2,800 within a tew months for the purchase of a site, upon which the trustees of the Loulsburg Graded School say they will soon erect ai modern high school tor their use. The colored people are not only to bi commended for raising such a neat sum in such a short period, but they are to be especially fellclated upon their wisdom in the selection of their site. It Is situated on the left hand side of the old Cripple Creek read beginning just about 800 feet from the intersection of Perry street and Main street, and from the new tiling station now under course of erection by the Gulf Refining Co. It Is a section of the G. W. Ford estate, and*should the city so desire. It Is in easy access of water and light and police protection. Because of the wisdom displayed in the selection of this site it is said thai the ftoeenwald fund will donate at least fifteen hundred dollars tow ard the construction of the building, and it is said that other funds will also be available for maintenance, equipment, etc. Almost the whole population of the colored citizens of Loulsburg togeth. ' er with Frank Fogg, John H. Sills and Patrick Thomas,' of near Loulsburg, are responsible for the successful termination of this splendid effort. The general steering committee whieh bore the brunt of the battle consisted of W. M. Alston, chairman; O. T. Stegall, J. H. Sills, P. H. Tho mas and Dr. J. B. Davis. These men were ably assisted by D. H. Blount, Revs. D. P. Lewis, South Main Street j Baptist church; H. T. McFadden, Presbyterian church; W. H. Hawkins, James Isaac Cooke and Frank Fuller. It is hoped that the high school will be ready for use by the next school term, and thqs save for our town the thousands of dollars now being spent by these people to give their children a high school education in bther sec tion's of the State. Dr. Robertson To Preach Dr. J. Calloway Robertson, of Nash ville, Tenn., will preach at the Me thodist, church next Sunday morning and evening according to announce ment of Rev. Daniel Lane, pastor. Dr. Robertson is one of the strongest preachers in the Methodist conference and is now teaching in the pastor's summer school at Duke University. All are invited to .go out. and hear Dr. Robertson. that the burden ot supplying the schools with adequate funds for an efficient administration should be as sumed by the State under the plain terms of the State Constitution; that the 8tate be directed to collect suf ficient funds from taxes on income, luxuries, privileges, and franchises, leaving upon the tangible property of the State, the burden of the State and the County's government of the public roads of the County and State. We believe in a curtailment or an aboli tion'of all unnecessary officers in the State of North Carolina and a cutting down of the salaries of said officers In keeping with the changing econo mic condition of the tax payers of North Carolina. Second: We direct and empower cur representatives and the Legisla ture bodies to do all they can to carry out the provisions and directions ot the above resolution, commending add promising our cordial support for all triifc red>rm abd progress and re. storing to'the people of North Caro lina their lost liberties and privi leges that have been taken from' them since the great World War. The question was raised about the luapproprtateness of the resolution be cause of one that had been previous ly pasaed. Dr. Ford, of Franklinton, offered to amend the resolution by striking out the second provision attacking the ad ministration, which had received ob jection. D. F. McKlnne objected to an attempt to Instruct the Legislature how to provide revenue. W. M. Person secured the floor and for nearly half an Hour spoke In his usual way of criticising all officials and the expenditure of the public mon eys. His speech was Intended to be! In suppok ot his resolution only touch td In distant places. D. F. McKlnne reminded the speak er that it appeared to the average Uyman, that he (Person) was moat interested in becoming one of the of fice holding bunch he was orttidsipg and that he would be happiest when he was back In his adopted home Wake?and moved to taMe the motion. The motion was promptly tabled ? W. L. Lumpkin was called for and made a very pretty little speech where in he stated that Instead ot personal honor his greatest desire would be to do some service for his county and thanked the people very warmly tor the complimentary vote given him. After calling a meeting ot the new ly elected county executive commit tee the convention, adjourned, dot ing a most harmonious and pis session. .....a.
