C.t ae second class matter. Much preparation is being made foi - the Sesqul Centennial to be held in Loulsburg on July 4th. The (arm bill is still a doubtful quantity in Congress. It's no doubt a doubtful quantity as to results. It's easily possible tor Franklin County to employ a full time Health Officer and Public Nurse too without much extra costs. The strike situation at Gastonia is becoming a most serious situation. Something should be done at once to clear up the trouble. LYTBODrCTOHY SPEECH 1 The following is the Introductory speech of Mr. Hill Yorborough in pre- i hunting Hon p Cooley At the memorial services of Franklin County Memorial Association, held on Sun day afternoon June 2, 1929: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle, men: But Mttle more than a decade has been worked off upon the calend er of time since the world's greatest war, its deadliest and most desolating. , came to an end. But ten years have I D3RSP/) sinco th. ,. ">?? LVU J VWi O ' ^ V 1 passed since the loud roar of the can non, the shrieking shell, the "tumult and the shouting." died in long rever-l berations over ihe stricken fields of , Franro ? . . . i - - ? "W'vacu UCIUU uii t France. Yei in that decade, short and I, fleeting as It has been, human life , has been mightily transformed. We are living la an age of overnight trips to Europe, of speed-mad automobiles, of machine! gun murders, of voices that come jut of the air from many , leagues aw|y. in the midst of these i hurrying to and thai hurrying fro of our ultra-modern ex istence, in our whole-hearted absorp- n tlon with the marvels of the present, u ta the thrilling, ever forward-looking . dreams so characteristic of the Amer- | lean spirit, we are prone to forget the a foundations upon which our life of ti today is built. We are pronq,to pass 0 lightly and thoughtlessly over the I things of the heart and the things of r the spirit. Even that mighty tragedy f, of a short Jen years ago, when half ? the world, with anxious, aching heart r and bated breath and tear-dimmed b eyes, awaited news of the other half t wW? men lay dead and dying, where n a k? bayonets and triggered guns d gUU? C held death in a thrust or a Anger's u move, where a new grave was made s every hour and the "little white cros- 1 ses, row of tow." grew to0 fast to be I counted?even thoee momentous days r grow pale in the dazzling light of the p fastest age this earth has ever known, t It behooves us. therefore, ever and b anon, to hark back t0 the time when t; to be brave meant death, when to he t glorious brought a pitiful, tearful E smile to a father's face, and a choking, a sobbing grief to a mother's breaking c heart. It behooves us to turn back the c pnges m the calender in honor for t tuose who offered their lives upon ihe'l sacrificial pyre of war. |T As a represenatlve of a generation n which wag toe young to be actors in b that glorious and heroic dvama, I fi wish tolay a wreath of Immortelles t upon the graves of our valiant dead. I j To us there can be no greater heroes t than those older brothers and friends I who left our midst to sail the wild i Atlantic, and, with incomparable 3 courage and devotion, to uphold the I honor and glory of America upon Hie f blood.washed fields of France. 'Of all1 s ?he glorious memories, of all the rich 1 inheritance which Is the birthright of 1 every American born child, the bright-1 est and the pfoudest is the record of t the valor and-the heroism of the boys i who fought in France.

Messrs Spencer Gay, Guy Moore, Lee Strickland spent Sunday in Dur ham. The "Sunbeams" had a very delight ful picnic at Vauglmn's Pond Satur* day evening. There were fourteen Sunbeams present. Besides those were Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Strickland and little daughter, or Spring Hope, Mr. E. B. Moore, Mrs. E. S. Wilder, MisatGlennie Wilder, and Miss Ruth Moore. The children enjoyed the games and the pond lilies but most of all they enjoyed the picnic supper. Each child carried a lunch, and spread it himself. Ruth Wilder, one of the Sunbeams, returned thanks for the supper. After the boxes were cleared away delicious ice cream was served. Everyone enjoyed the occasion very much. Miss Mildred Griifin, a former tea cher here, was the guest of Mrs. C M. Moore the past week. Several of our folks are leaving* for Summer School this week. Mrs. Q, M. Moore, Mrs. Maybelle McGregor Wheless, Mr. Guy Moore, and Mr. M. T. Lamm will attend the summer ses sion at Wake Forest while Miss Pat tk Lamm will attend E. C. T. C.

Jane 10?Farmers need ot look tor any effective relief meas ree to b= passed by the present Con ress in the opinion of Dr. Q. W. 'orster, agricultural economist at tate College, who says that, as here, afore, fanners must rely on their' wn' efforts. "It is cvMent, at this time, that the tebenture plan will be eliminated rom the Senate Bill", says Dr, Forst r "This plan would be effective in aising the price of farm products but i only favored as an offset to the high arlff en manufactured articles. Far mers must look to adjustments in pro uction and must market their prod eta when prices are at the highest easonal level as a means of establish eg farming on a profitable basis." With this in mind. Dr. Forster has (?viewed recent, trends in the market irices of cotton, tobacco, Irish pota. oes and swine. Cotton, he says, has ten going down since March 9 when be prigp was 20.30 cents k pound on be ten leading markets. This should ;ot be disturbing since it may mean reaction to higher price levels. Re ent data show that there is an in. teased consumption of American cot on and the carry-over on July 31 will ikely be less than 4 1-2 million bales, 'he crop this year will not exceed 15 tilllion bales which will give a proba le supply of about 19 million bales. Inch production should sell for be ween 19 and 20 cents a pound. The ?rfsent price of cotton is therefore oo low. With tobacco, however the story is Afferent, The acreage was cut about ! percent but with the Increase in lurley acreage, the largd supply of lu?cured leaf on hand and stocks tlready replenished in China from ast year's crop, Dr. Forster looks for ow prices this season. Because the Irish potato acreage ras curtailed and adjusted to market leeds, better prices will be had on his crop. TTie price for hogs will be letter after June and cattle and egg irices will continue good, in his optn Bn. De luxe railroad travel in France costs 6 cents a mile and the govern ment takes four of those cents in tax es. This xomplatning assertion is made By those who think FYance is killing travel, but the volume of busi ness goes on Increasing. Ordinary travel, In day coaches, costs more than 3 certts a mile and one-fourth of the cost is for taxes. It is Pullman service that is expensive for It costs as much as a flrst.class railroad ticket. Sharks of the South Seas are being put to use by a floating factory which catches the fish and turns them Into leather pigments, fertlixer, glue meal, oil and other products. Among the important events in American history that have occurred on Friday are the discovery of Ameri ca by Columbus, the sailing of the Pilgrims from Southhampton, the selxure of Bunker Hill and the sur render of Lord Cornwallls at York town.

The following Ode To*Franklln was written by Mrs. W. P. Mercer, of Sim City, and officially adopted for the Sesyui Centen nial. Mcb. Mercer before her marriage was Mary Speed Jones, a daughter of the late Hon. Joseph S. Jones, who was born In Frank lin County and settled In Warren County, and was one of the founders of the great summer resort, Jones Spring. MrS". Mercer attended the Centennial here as a girl In her teens and later mar ried Dr. W. P. Mercer, of Edgecombe County. She is a lady of rare charm and ability. She will play the accompaniment to this hymn on July 4th. ' In speaking ot the hymn she says "I tried first of all to cover the call homeward. Second to pay* tribute to the Old North State and to FTauklln County, the Star Among Stars. And third, to touch on the three most important periods, Colonial, Confederate, World War, and to bring out the making of the Flag, and its Nativity in Louisburg: Mother Franklin, thou didst call us 'O'er the hills and far away, Called thy wan'dring children homeward On this joyous natal day; Glad are we to find Love's Home Fires On thy altars, festive, gay, As we come marching home! Thy Cor-o.net Caro-lina Is ablaze with shining stars, But brightest in that galaxy ? . * 'Mid sweet peace or stress of wars t' Gleams the star of dear Old Franklin Far above the crimson bars. As we come marching home! With thy regal head uplifted To the tyrant 'cross the sea, Thou did'st scorn to do obeisance Or to bend the suppliant knee, , . ' Thou did'st light the torch of freedom jiijK For God, Home, and Liberty As men went marching on! When the grim foe from the Northland Dared to sweep down thro' the night, With loud huzaor'aga tfumpetB Mare?" With shrill shouts of "Right and Might." The Stars and Bars of Franklin waved, Put those "Cruel hordes to flight, Our boys went marching onl Here, the standard of the southland First waved proudly in the breeze; Here the Stars and Bars first fluttered Far above the grand old trees, .? -7? Men and women softly praying. Humbly kneeling on their knees As men went marching on! Thy fair name oh dearest mother Is engraven on each heart, And as we chant thy praises o'er Lo, the blinding tear drops start; In the silence thou art with us, In the city's bnep mart, As men go marching on! popples - i the sen, ? In the silent startrVhite crosses There's ft thrill for you and me. For they died, Our Dear, Brave Laddies, Franklin's Sons, to make ns free, As men went marching on.

Now, Inasmuch as He loses us all, the sinner as well as ttft saint, why shouldn't we lose Him? Just think, that it all of us would do nothing except that which is right, and obey the laws ot our country, and follow the Golden Rule?"do unto others as you would hate them do unto you"? we would hare no use for jails, penitentiaries, etc. Did this thought ever occur to you, and what a great difference there would be throughout the land? Those who try to do that which is right hare no time to do wrong. Try doing right from now on, and from time to time add it up and see what you hare gained. J. T. HOWARD.
