Committee To do To Raleigh
Wednesday 17th.
W. T. Moos, J. O. Williams, T. 8.
Dean, W. A Jones and C. T. Hudson,
were named a committee to repre
sent Franklin County at a meeting
ot farmers to be held at State College
Raleigh called by Governor Gardner
for Wednesday morning September
17ttb, 1930s. Quite a representative
crowd was present considering the
short time in which to give notice
and the meeting was presided over by
W. T. Moss, chairman of the County
Agricultural Committee and A. F.
Johnson was elected Secretary.
?1 H. Malone explained the object
of the meeting to be to select a com
mittee of five to represent Franklin
County at the Governor's meeting
from which a permanent Relief Com
mittee was to be selected to work
out some plan of relief for the tobac
co growers.
W. A Jones was of the opinion we
would have to give this crop away
as we had not time to organise, but
that the farmers had to decide wheth
er they would continue the auction
sales or go back to co-operative mar
keting. He spoke of the war when
the boys were gone and labor short
the price was high. Again when the
Co-operatives organized prices ad
vanced 60 per cent. He said, "we
farmers have the privilege of going
on and selling and let the companies
tlx the price or organise and fix our
own price".
Dr. A. H. Fleming lodged a motion
that Franklin County be represented
and that the chair appoint a nominat
ing committee of three to nominate
the five for election as representa
tives. The mption carried and B. Mc.
Mullen, W. A Jones and A. F. John
son were named.
The committee retired and consid
ered a number of names from which
it reported its recommendations as
W. T. Moss. J. O. Williams. W. A
Jones, T. S. Dean, C. T. Hudson. The
nominees made by the committee
were elected.
Among the speakers at the meet
ing other than named above were W.
D. Bowden, J. O. Williams and Prof.
Winchester. The latter announced
that Mr. W.~8. Green representini
the educational department of tbi
Federal F%rm Board .would speak
to the people of Franklin County in
the Courthouse at 9 o'clock Wednes
day morning,' Sepember 24th. and ex.
tended an invitation to nil farmers
and others who wish to hear Mr.
Green to be present
The Orer-Privileged Child
"Ths Over-Privileged Child" mil
th* topic upon which ?. L. Beat, Su
perintendent ot Franklin County Pub
lic School!, made an intereatiinc and
forceful addreea before the member*
of the Louisburg Klwania Club, at
their weekly meeting on VYiday night,
Sept. If. ?>
Mr. Beatgsplained that th* overprlv
ileged child waa either one with exceti
money, time and liberty, or one with
more ability, a quicker mind to learn,
veraatillty, and euch qualities that
are abore par in the average child.
Of the firat child, hla over-privileges,
according tq Mr. Beet, tend to warp
hi* outlook: It waa the speaker'*
opinion that the attitude of the pa
rent* must change, that children give
too much thought to material things
and social functions which they al
low to come ahead of their work and
time to gain knowledge, and that
these deflciences are augment
ed by parents who allow
these practices. It is his belief that
parents should be more concerned
f.bout the way their children pass any
leisure time. A feasible plan to oc
cupy leisure time, he offered, was
to hare a designated "study hour" for
the town as a whole.
Then, (.gain, Mr. Best stated that
children had too much liberty, had
too little respect for our school and
home regulations which practice
leads tc the breaking of our munici
pal laws. Mr. Best extended a chal
lenge to each parent to See to it
that his child observes home, nation
al, and all regulations, that he is
tralne.l in a practical way.
As to the second child over-priv
ileged as far at mental ability Is con
cerned, Mr. Beet propoeed that teach
ers should give soma special atten
tion to thetn.
Especially did Mr. Beat emphasise
the need of parents making n special
study of their children, anailae them
?find out tbelr likes and dislikes,
their ideals and heroes. Ha mM
that one of the main troubles to-day
is that parents do not know their
children.

continued their meeting without bread
or water from 11 A. M. till 3:45
amidst the most solemn and hottest
eebates held in many years.
tGovernor Gardner made the opoa
g address In which he urged that the
bacco acreage of this state along
with Georgia, South Carolina and Vir
Iginla be cut at least 25 per cent next
(year. He produced many facta and
figures to show that the weed acre
age was each year being enlarged tag
much, and predicted that unless tht
acreage was cut that tobacco prices
[would follow crude rubber as it drop
ped from 92-00 to 8 l-2c after U>(
British and Dutch East Indes plan
tation had grown too large. More dt
rveraifled farming, more businessliki

market has- had more to do with mar
keting ' than . the grower this time"
acid Hon. H. 8. Ward of Washington.
N. C? as he opened his speech beg
ging the farmers to" organise right
now" for an orderly way of marketing
their tobacco. As one of the
era for the old Co-ops. he
they re.organise and take over som<
$100,000 belonging to members Whc

waa likewise insisted upon by Presi
dent E. C. Brooks of State Coflegu
as the big question to be solved, bjg
Ad suggested too that-a bettof bal
anced crop was needed.
But the "always wrong and nobody
to blame but yourself" farmer was to
be shown up In another light when
Congressman John Kerr, of Warren
ton, arose to offer the true facts at
he had found them after much inves
tigation. "We had a smaller. carry
over of tobaeco last year than the
year before, cigarettes have Man In.
creased in price rather than Cat. only
one tobacco company failed to in
crease its net income last year, ex
ports have not decreased", the fiery
speaker exclaimed! "I take issue
with your opinion", he said turning
to the Governor. "What the tobacco
farmer needs is fair treatment frqm
his brother manufacturers and from

that he felt that something sheqld IB
