of this opportunity, said, "I can get
Mr. Moore to come to Loulsburg if

function on all occasions calling for
such music. We can secure Mr.
Moore If I can get a satisfactory re

town and county." President Wil

Green Hill Golf
Course Open To
The Public
The dlreotora of the local course
decided at their last meeting to open
the course to the publie so that any
one may play upon the payment of
a small green fee. Previously the
club has followed the custom, as
elsewheire, of requiring local resi
dents to become members before al
lowing them to play. It is felt that
a larger number of Loulsburg peo
ple will avail themselves of the
privilege of playing this excellent
litUe course under the new arrange
ments which go iato effect at once.
Realising that a slight financial
stringency Is prevailing at this time
it was alao decided to offer to the
citizens of Loulsburg a special mem
bership for the remainder of the
year (until March 15th) at half the
usual feetj
To.ptomlito Interest in golf among
the younger group the club Is to
open its course to all children be
tween the ages of twelve (18) and
sixteen (16) inclusive, without cost,
every morning until one P. M. It is
believed that a large number of boys
and gtrls will be eager to take ad
vantage of this opportunity to learn
this splendid gahie whose popularity
haa increased by leap* and bounds
the past few yean. x
Bondsmen Pay Dp
Franklin Count)' Receives Cheeks
For Holilen Shortage? AU Cl^ta
e<l Recovered Except $800 "lo
9-100 ? 1'erry Reversed.
Franklin County received checks
(or 13,313.68 on Monday, July 11th
in settlement of the judgment
against the Commercial Casualty
Insurance Company, of Newark, N.
J., bondsmen of S. C. Holden, for
mer Kegister of Deeds of Franklin
County who was adjudged short In
Ills accounts with the cbunty and
upon which he resigned his office in
September 1931, according to the
information given out by Mr. Hill
Yarborough, County Attorney. This
settles the liability of this company,
Mr. Yarborough continued, although
the amount is between $300.00 and
$400.00 short of complete settle
ment of the claim. The lack of the
complete settlement was due to a
judgment In < the Federal Court
against Mr. Holden for failure to
properly Cross index a certain Chat
tel Mortgage which cam* 4a to share
in the funds from the T*fcd. covers 1
ing the first period. v<
The case against Mr. 'Holden by
the county, when brought up for
hearing, it waa explained, was re
ferred to B. H. Perry of Henderson,
who, after hearing the evidence and
making his examination held that
the greater portion of the bounty's
loss was during the ..peNod of
j the first bond of Mr. Holden. The
county appealed and Judge W. A.
Devin held with the county's con
tention that the county's lesser loss
V>s during the period of the first
bond, of $5000.00 covering the peri
od of office from 1928 to 1930.
From this bond Franklin County
received $816.00, leaving only a
few hundred dollars uncollected on
account of the Federal Court judg
ment. The other bond of a like
amount covering the period of 1930
to 1931 when the shortage was dis
covered, was held liable for $2,
497.68 including Interest, the full
amount sought to be recovered, un
der this bond.
The' audit figures upon which the
ault and the county judgment was
brought and based were made by R.
L. Steele and Company, public 'ac
countants of Raleigh, and was a
most complete and exhaustive doc
ument, receiving mu?h commenda
tion from the attorneys.
Franklin County was represented
by County Attorney Hill Yarbor
ough, assisted by his father, W. H.
Yarborough.
The attorneys for the county are
confident that the county will re
cover the entire amount as it still
has more resources from which it
can recover.

the Loulsburg Theatre, informed a
