VOLUMN LXI. LOUISBURO, N. 0.. FRIDAY, JULY 25TH., 1930 (8 Pager) NUMBER 23
TWO WAREHOUSES
TO BE OPERATED
1930 SEASON HOLDS GOOD
INDICATIONS
Southslde Warehouse to be Bub by
Meadows M Harris and Unloq Ware
house to Be Bun bj Beasley, BuU
lock * Wheeler ? Planter* Ware
house Expected to be Leased
Arrangements have already been
made tor two of LoulabiWs'a popular
tobacco warehouses to be operated
this year, and it Is expected that ne
gotiations will be completed in the
next few days for the operation of
the third. Indications point to a
good season on the Loulsburg mar
ket and It is expected the market will
open about September 23rd. Curing
has already begun and reports indi
cate very satisfactory results, both
iu color and quality.
Sam Meadows and Drover Harris,
who have been stationed at the
Planters Warehouse for the past Sev
eral years have decided to change this
year and will operate Loulsburg's
biggest warehouse, the Southside,
just across the river. This house is
conceded to be one of the best In the
State and it is freely predicted that
it will play a big part on the Louis
burg market this year. They will
have associated with them this year
Mr. Tom Burton, who made so many
friends here last year as auctioneer
end Mr. Claude C. Cheatham.
The popular Union Warehouse,
which last year was so completely re
modeled and made equal to any iu
the State for accomodations will be
operated this year by R. M. Beasley
of Apex, J. Monroe Bullock, of Oxford
and Zeb Wheeler, of Franklin Coun
ty. In this case it is true that "the
chickens will come home to roost"
Mr. Beasley Is a former Loulsbtgrg
boy. well known by our people as
plain Bud. Mr. Bullock is also well
known in this section. Mr. Zeb.
Wheeler is well known In Franklin
and adjoining counties aa one of the
County's best tobacco farmers. They
have not arranged for the remainder
of this force. Each member of thin
firm is well experienced in the to
bacco business from the field to the
bulyer and will no doubt add mucb
life ond interest to the Loulsburg
market.

Louisburg Joins High
Temperature. Class
Louisburg stepped up with and
passed at long range the reported
high temperature enjoyed by the pec
pie of Windsor Sunday, which re
ported a temperature of UC in the
sun. Louisburg on Tuesday took
readings that went as high as 140.
This record was made with the ther
mometer. standing by the side of the
court house where the sun had full
sway at it. Another reading was tak
en with the thermometer hanging on
a light pole at the corner of Court
and Market Streets and was 123. In
front of W. E. White's furniture store
a reading of 126 was made with the
instrument in the sun getting
lull benefit of the reflection from
the pavement.
The official government thermo
meter recorded 101 as the high mark
on Tuesday. A nice breeze arose in
tbe afternoon accompanied by clouds
that brought a most welcome reliel
to an otherwise unpleasantly hot day.
Edwards Family Re-Union
Sunday, July 80th., wfll- Ions be -re
membered by the Edwards FamSly
aud* near friends. About 175 of -the
c'an assembled at the homey of- Mr
end Mrs. T. W. Edwards, nerfr Ingle
slde, on that date; they began to ar
rive early In the morning and a day
or real pleasure and fellowship was
enjoyed by all. A good supply ol
llgs had been barbecued Saturday
night by one who certainly knows his
uigs and how to barbecue them tc
suit the most exacting palate. Not
only the barbecue, but a generous
supply of other good things were al
so In great and satisfying eridence,
beside, many of the friends, who had,
several of them driven for many miles
to be present on this occasion,
brought baskets well filled with them.
Tables were spread on the spacious
lawn under the trees and a most de
lightful time was enjoyed by all.
After the dinner had been disposed
of to the satisfaction of everyone, Dr.
L>. T. Smlthwick, acting as Master
of Ceremonies, mounted an impro
vised platform and presented to the
assembled relatives and friends a
son of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. EHwards,
John A., who is a ministerial student,
having Just finished at Bules Creek
this year; this young man delivered
a brief but exceedingly spiritual five
r.,inu)te talk, dwelling particularly on
the greater reunion which would come
to all later in the greater gathering
of Eternity. Following this brief
talk, Mr. Wm. L. Robinson, Louis
burg Attorney, was Introduced and
i proceeded -to deliver tho address of
thv day. Mr. Robinson particularly
cwelt on the wonderful opportunities
which lie before the youth of today;
he particularly stressed the fact that
o high and lofty ambition, coupled
with earnest teal aqd honor were the
greatest requisites of final success.
He dwelt at some length upon the
wonderful progress made by North
Carolina, referring to her as the
Queen State of the Union, during the
past decade, and referred to Gover
nor Gardner In most glowing terms,
calling him the greatest Governor of
the greatest State in the entire United
States today. Referring to the in
tense loyalty and patriotism of the
8outhem Youth, he pointed out that,
during the war with Germany, the
quotas of the various Southern
States were practically all filled by
volunteer enlistments, while the dl
latorlness and hesitancy On the- part
of the Northern men was largely re
sponsible for the Conscription Bill.
Following' Mr. Robinson's address,
Dr. D. T. Smlthwick. in a few well
chosen rmarks, concluded the speak
ing part of the program. Many then
adjourned to the parlor where the
rest of the afternoon was spent
r.rouSd the piano playing and sing
ing. The smaller children enjoyed
themselves for a walk over a well
tended farm, admiring the splendid
crops of oorn, oats, SOy beans, mll
Htt and tobacco. In all a most en
joyable day was spent by all who at
tended.
Eight boys and four girls have been
elected as official delegates to the
l-H short course at State College,
august I to t, by the nine organised
ClMbs of Polk County.
| Shorter Closed Season
Haleigh, July 23.?A shorter closed
season which will permit fishermen
to indulge In their favorite sport on
iJBaster Monday and uniform closed
seasons on fishing to make possible
r. more effective protection of fish
dtiring the spawning period srq.Jw
portant feature* of Changes nseetrt
ly made by the Board, of Conserva
tion and Development as its semi-ari
nual meeting at Morhead City.
Under the new regulations. .Mm
closed season on fishing vtlKMMSlW
gin until May 1 instead" Of April 29
as has been the law previously. Thid
closed season applies to all species
of game fish except the trouta of
Western North Carolina Whose
spawning season comes during 'a 'dif
ferent period of the year. The peri
od of the year in which these -.IJpes
of fish are protected, extend*",.
September 1 to'April 15 of the 16M0
lng year.
The general closed season WW ex
tend from May 1 to Jung IP, giv\ng
a 40-day protected period In the' fu
ture In the place of 50 days hereto
fore.
Another new regulation also pro
hibits the taking of fresh water fish
in commercial waters during the time
that the season Is closed In Inland
waters.
Seining will continue under the ban
in inland waters following action of
the board in denying requests that
special permits be granted for this
privilege in certain, counties of the
State. The board took the viewpoint
that as a wholesome method of tak
ing fish, seining Is unfair to the great
masses of fishermen whose oppcrrtun
ty for sport would be spoiled when
waters are depleted by those whc
would exercise the privilege if sein
ing were permitted.
Collections from anglers' license)
this season are said by officials tc
be well ahead of last year, bavin;
reached approximately 350,000. Th<
State Law requires that every peraor
who fishes In any other except hlf
home county must take out a ?tat<
license. However, the license re
qulrement has been extended to In
elude all fishermen in 26 counties
Fishermen, it Is said, should ascer
tian If their county Is among these.

GOVERNMENT
AIRPORT FOR
LOUISBURG
CONSTKUCTION TO
BEGUN SOON
Will Contain Large and Fowerfal
Beacon U^t, Be*idea Emergency
Accommodation* For Plane* Fu
ture Possibilities Great For Louis
burg
Mr. ?. ?. Chapman, representing
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, airways division was In Louis
burg Friday completing arrangements
for establishing a government air
port on the outskirts of the town to
be used mainly as a station for a
beacon light and an emergency land
ing field for the airplanes carrying
mall, or other government planes
needing to use it
The station is located here by
reason of the tact that Loulsburg Is
directly on the New York to Florida
air mall line and happens to be at
the right location for one of the 30
mlle stations, thoseon each side be
ing at Warrenton on the North and
Raleigh on the South.
A site Just beyond the colored grad
ed school, on the west side of Louis
burg. on the property 1>f G. W. Ford
has been secured and, Mr. Chapman
said to the TIMES man, construc
tion would begin Just as soon as the
crops are removed. In the mean
time everything will be ppt in readi
ness so that construction can be ex
pedited when begun. While here Mr.
Chapman made arrangements with
the Town to furnish electric current
for the powerful beacon which will
furnish light for airplanes at night
and to direct them to a safe landing
at the port
This Is possibly one of the most
L i Important and valuable happenings for
Louisburg in many years. It will
reflect great influence upon public
highways, State and National, and
be a pointer to travel both North and
South.
It is also filled with possibilities of
future air mall, and passenger ser
vice for this ^vicinity through the
Louisburg airport.
