The News-Observer of Tuesday editorially: Here is a world of^trtlth from the FRANKUN TIMES: "Whenevr any public in stitution or organisation gets to the point that it eannot stand the search light of publicity it Is time for such an Institution or organisation to close." Hon. D. G. Brummitt, Attorney General of North Carolina, has many friends in the -State- .who will learn of his decision to not enter the Gub ernatorial race this coming cam paign with much regret. He Is a most able and conscientious man, and <s well fltted for the Governorship of the State. As a result of the elections held . __oiL.Xiifi*day?jLli? republicans concede the Democratic rule of the House of Representatives made possible by a gain of five new members; New Jer sey elected a Democrat, A.

Ruby THE 8 CENT COTTON ALLOWANCE The TIMES is Informed that there is a general misunderstanding over the County concerning the 8 cent allowance for cotton. It is oar un derstanding that this allowance is only made by the United States gov ernment, and by it only in the pay ment of the loans made to farmers through the drought relief agencies. Even to get this allowance from these departments the farmer has to deposit his cotton in a bonded storage warehouse or deliver same to the Co-operative Marketing Asso ciation and present the receipt for same to the government representa tive, who will credit the farmers loan with the amount on an eight cent basis. Should there be a sur plus due the farmer it will be paid to him in time. The TIMES will try to get a full explanation of this to publish next week. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF "It is a gloomy moment in history. Not for many years ? not In the life time of most men who read this pa per ? has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In our own country there is universal commercial pros tration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow-citizens are turn ed out against the approaching win ter without employment, and with out the prospect of it. "In France the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertain ty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent, upon the hor izon of Europe; while all the ener gies, resources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in | coping with the vast and deadly In dian insurrection, and with its dis turbed relations In China. "It Is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference (which happily, no man pretends to feel) in the issue of events. ? "Of our own troubles no man can see the end. They are fortunately, as yet, mainly commercial;, and If we are only to lose money, and by palnfnl poverty to be taaght wis dom ? the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and of charity ? no man need seriously to despair. And yet tile very haste to be rich, which is the occasion of this widespread ca lamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we are to resist and subdue the calamity." The paragraphs quoted above were not written yesterday, although they are very mnch the same sort of thing that many people are saying today. They were printed in Harper's Weekly on October 10, 1867, seven ty-four years ago. If In these seventy-four years there had been no change we would have good ground for pessimism now. But everybody knows that during most of that time this coun ? try haa experienced .good times steadily getting better. What happened before will hap pen again. Prom all that we can aee and hear we believe that the worst of the present situation la over and that conditions are on the mend. And we are oertain that the pessi mist# who are still frightened out of fitlf .ar I fathers ia 1117. [Democrats Launch Victory Campaign Washington, Nov. 2. ? C. L. Shutt ing of Greensboro will head the oom mlttee which will conduct the Vic tory Campaign of the Democtatic Party In North Carolina. This Na tional preparedness drive for u. 600,000, is now being organised under the leadership of John W. Da vis, Democratic presidential nomi nee In 1924, to put the Party in a strong position for the 1912 presi dential election. Mr. Shuplng's selection as chair man of the North Carolina Victory Campaign Committee, which wll)-'|>e one of forty-eight similar state oota mittees throughout the country, was anounced today by Jouett Shouhe, executive chairman of the Democrat ic National Committee. Mr.' Shaping will have complete charge of the ntps to be taken by his committee whose personnel also Is to be decide^ by him. J*T Declaring ttfat "there never fcas been greater national need or g^t er opportunity for Democratic Vic tory". .Mr. Shouse in a letter to Mr. Shuplng, urged every North Carolin ian asked by Mr. Shuping to servo- on the North Carolina Committee to "'re spond enthusiastically". , He adds: "You will proceed atjtfuce to enlist as members of your 9tata Victory Campaign Committee a group of friends of the Party 'Who will lend their wholehearted efforts in North Carolina to the Party's prepardeness drive for victory !n US*". " "Under yonr able leadership-,' and with the caliber of -the jaen and ^wo men whom you will ask to sefrve on the North Carollnal Committee, 'the National Committee has no doubt of the enthusiastic response which the Victory Campaign appeal will elicit from every citlxen of North Carolina who is interested In constructive na lonal government. "The Nation's need and the Party's unparalleled opportunity for victory next year places a responsibility on every member of the Party in North Carolina and In every other .state to help to assure victory", Mr. Shonse continued. "That victory must re sult in more than tbe.placinf In the White House of a Democratic Presi dent. It must give him the essential backing of strong Democratic majori ties In both branches "of Congress, so that the constructive program ear Party will havet? offer. may be ext ent. -<1 expeditiously and effectively, A virtue Party organisation tn 'a strong financial position. *nd ready to swing Into immediate action as soon as the 1922 Convention ad journs. is the goal of the Victory Campaign through the efforts of such groups as the North Carolina Com mittee. I know that the Party na tionally can depend on you, and" on those selected by you, to ftiuster tSe full support of every North Carolina friend of the Party behind this sig nificant undertaking for the welfare of the Democracy and of the nation to whoae service it has been dedicat ed from birth'*; ? * . > - 1 - ? ?* Greensboro. Nov. 2. ? Tit an Inter view today Mr. Shuping confirmed the report of his acceptance of the chairmanship of the Victory Fund Campaign in North Carolina. "My purpose", said Mr. Shuping, "will be to offer every Democrat In North Car olina opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause. Our Party must depend upon the great body of our people for its support. We would not have It otherwise. Its function and will is to serve them, and it is of the utmost Importance that its ob ligations shall be to them and them only. The small gift will be as much appreciated as the large one. All signs indicate that the Democratic Party will return to power In the next election. This will be assured If we raise the funds necessary to free it of debt and to conduct a Cam paign of Information. Whenever It shall come to power, we will have an end of what the President has appro priately described as 'frozen confi dence'. There will be In the Presi dency a man in whom the people Justly have confidence, and there will be majorities in each House of the Congress of the peoples choosing in whom they may confidently rely". "It will be my endeavor toorganiz* thoroughly, to the end that opportnnr ity to participate in his essential pre paration for victory and the restora tion of our Government to the peo : pie, shall be presented* to every one | who believes in oMr Party, its princi ples and Its present, mission. . I shell | solicit without delay the a<rtive In terest of my fellow Democrats". Red Cross Roll Call a On November 11th throughout the United States, throughout North Car olina, throughout ' Franklin County, throughout Louisburg the Red Crois ?toll Call win be launched. The cam paign (or Red Croaa membership will continue until November J6th. It la >ery fitting that the Red Cross Roll Call should begin on Armistice Day and extend to Thanksgiving. This year celebrates SO years of American Red Cross ? a milestone of humanitarian service! In the Swift march of progress, Red Cross has won the gratitude of all civilization. Many think of the Red Cross in connection with some outstanding event snch as the Johnstown flood, Spanish-American war, San Francisco ftre, Galveston flood, World War, Japanese earth noake, -midwest torna d<k Florida hvrriCBtiMk New England |tiqKy hpnrlcane, Phllll tine typhoons,' Mbsiaslppi flood, Nica tagua earth quake and 1930 Drought. It is a fact that the National Red Cross expenditures for humanitarian service and relief from July 1, 1?M to /one M, 1931 amounted to J1M74, 100. not incloding the 3500 Chapters' For the relief of disabled veterans u lone. 1784.300 tfi <%&ded In thi came period.

It is mafiaged by the voluntary service of high minded private citizens ? it la a living organ ization of the people, led by their giadly given money and (irmly rooted in their trust.

John Barton Payne says, "It I* America's answer to the cry of hu tfan need". Drought ?

The Red Cross stretched her long arm this summer, to Franklin County tnough this County was not suffering from Drought as keenly as others, and gave her a thousand dollars In money, food and seed.

Publicity Chairman. Mr. Pergerson Writes of the Times The wolf is howling at oar door. We have worked hard this year to keep him oat, but he is coming in. Last year we had a severe drought that cut our crop ?0%r and this year God blessed us with a good crop and the price is so low we will not pay half , of the cost of produc tion. I can see a dozen farms that hare not paid back the money spent for fertiliser and taxes this year In sight of ay home. Every landlord released his rent this year to the government so the farmers could get money to ran a crop, it seem* as though all business thinks if we farmers have one or two pigs and an old cow and some corn and hay that we are ail in lor a happy year. How are we going to get the old male' shod, buy nails and farming tools, pay the preacher, buy medi cine, pay the doctor, dress our chil dren to send them to those quarter million dollar schools In the cities? For an illustration, I think I am an average farmer. I have to work j every day in my old age and also my wife. This year I made nine bale* of as fine cotton as I ever saw. _I 1 sold those 9 bales Saturday for 1 $290.00 (two-hundred and ninety dollars). When I pay for my fer tiliser, taxes and insurance I will not have a penny left and I owe other debts that I can not pay. Well, I was down at Louisburg last Tuesday to one of those Tax meetings. Well, I hope no one saw me or recognized me as I think no one but a crazy man would take part in such a meeting.. The Commis sioners have stated that those ap peals were led by a crazy leader. Well, in one more year all of as will be crazy. , Q. H. PERGERSON, R. 2, Youngsvllle, N. C. ? ?*?????? ??? ?AMERICAN LEGION* ?
