Broughton of Ra leigh was speaker at the annual memorial services of the Frank lin County Memorial Association held Sunday, June 2, at 2:30 p. m. at Mills High School Auditori um. The theme of Mr. Broughton's address was on such occasions as this not to call to mind the dread- 1 ful terrors and awful heartaches of war but to memorialize those ; virtues, those ideals of character so nobly displayed by our deceaj ed soldiers. To pay this tribute to our soldi er dead, the speaker reflected, re minds us of that greatest of all tributes paid by Christ to the wo man who broke the alabaster box on his feet when he said "Verily 1 say unto you Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her." There are some things thon that are imperable and immortal and among these the speaker list ed such virtues displayed by. oui; war dead as having a conviction and standing up for it even lo loss of life; loyalty such as Kobert E. Lee displayed to the highest degree; courage without which no 1 soldier could have done his best; | sacrafice, the quality that can be found wherever great deeds are done, and; faith, without which no one would have the courage to press on and accomplish things worth while. A nation who does not promote th.e memory of its past will have no future worthy of being remem bered said the speaker, who brought his talk to a close with I this plea, "May these qualities | named never cease to be memoria lized in the hearts of the people mpf Franklin County." The speaker was presented by Mr. W. H. Yarborough who men tioned the fact that Mr. Brough ton was at one time teacher at ? Bunn in this county.

' Lumpkin Talks , Politics The TIMES reporter called up on Representative Lumpkin who returned yesterday from a trip to Charlotte, where he attended a meeting of the Merchants Asso ciation. and was given the fol!ow-| ing information on State politics as seen by that group: "After spending three days In Charlotte as a guest of the North Carolina Merchants Association, and conferring with leading mer chants, recognized leaders of la bor, educational' leaders proml-i nent anti-sales taxers throughout North Carolina, I am thoroughly convinced thqt the unorganized masses and laboring classes In North Carolina will have a ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor In the next Democratic primary. "I found widespread resent-! ment and dissatisfaction with the tax on meals now served in board-l ing houses, cafes and restaurants, as well as the tax that will be come effective on July 1, on meat, lard, flour, molasSes, sugar, meal and the other basic foods. "I received many urgent re quests to announce as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor in the next primary, and during my stay, had several delegations to call on me urging me to an nounce. "Our section of North Carolina, which Is mainly agricultural, is strongly opposed to the sales tax, and especially the tax on foods, but certainly the Piedmont sec tion of North Carolina is, if pos sible, more violently and univer sally opposed to the present tax' policy of the state than we are. "The Merchants Association was well attended, With probably two thousand leading North Car-1 olina merchants present, and they adopted . resolutions author izing their association to Imme diately contest the constitution ality of the sales tax bill, and that the case, ifnecessary, be prosecuted through the United States Supreme Court. "Another interesting feature #f the convention was that the mer chants definitely committed them- ' selves to actually get into poll tics and to actively support ffitt&e candidates for the Legislature^ and state offices who were favor able to their views and ideas on! the tax question. "Undoubtedly, there will be a clear cut and direct Issue in the! coining election as to whether or| not North Carolina will continue to levy a tax on meat and bread; as a policy of the state, and there 1 will be no middle ground between the views of the opposing candl- 1 dates. "Those opposing the sales tax I have thought It wise- to' withhold 1 their announcement of their can- J dldacy until alter the tax on tood 1 becomes effective on Jnljr 1, and ' announcements of the various 1 candidates will probably be made ' ihortly thereafter." By giving a square deal we get] i square deal. f rAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATES I' * County Agent E. J. Morgan is mailing letters as follows to far mers of Franklin County: "It will be necessary for you to meet your local Committee igain this year and make an ap plication for Tax-Exemption Cer tificates for the sale of your 1935 cotton crop.

If you will do this, it will give us time in the office to re-check all applications for errors and get them off by the 20th. "The reason we are so anxious to get your application through is because there are lots of contracts that did not get as many pounds of lint cotton per acre last year as they rated, aand if everybody will file their application on the dates specified, our Committee will be able to recommend adjust ments on each individual con tract. And too. we will be able to get all certilcates in and deliv ered to you before Cotton ginning time this year. Committeemen will be at the following places: Cedar Rock Township ? G. B. H.
