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.

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.
