Four Townships Make Nominations For Constable While Three Others Make Second Con tests Possible Franklin County voters cast possibly thq biggest prlvary vo'e Saturday in the h-istory of the legalized primary system. Tho total vote cast was around 5800 out of a total registration of around. 8000. Different from most primaries' the voters begun voting early in f the morning and kept up steady voting more than ever before and by it to a certain extent elim inated the last minute mad rush This is accounted for by the ideal weather conditions for an election and the extreme Interest mat had been worked up by the several contestants. No disorder or disturbance was in evidence at any of the precincts was re ported, and the best of feelings and harmony prevailed among the several candidates and their friends. The results of the primary was quite different from the calcula tion! of the many political prog noaticators, and even surprising to many of the friends of the candidates. For Instance the strong Graham vote for Gover nor ? surprise to all except a fe* of his staunchest support ers and even greater than they 4i!* ?*P?cted. McDonald carried the County as was expected but not by as big a majority as pre dicted or hoped tor by hi* staunchest supporters. Foun tain's vote for U. 8. Senate against Josiah W. Bailey was larger than his friends or those H.r' ?a"e>r h8d dreamed, and the Sheriff's contest developed a surprise to many. Pou only lacked one vote beating all his opponents, for Auditor, in the County, while Stacy Wade, for Secretary of State got a clear ma jority over his opponents, as did also Paul Grady for Lieutenant Governor, and Clyde Erwin. for State Superintendent of Publfc Instruction Scott, a new man for Commissioner of Agriculture, received a good lead in Frank lin, and Johnson defeated the lady, Mrs. Wohl, for 8tate Treas urer. While Congressman Harold D Cooley received a tremendous ma jority over his opponent in his campaign to succeed himself, tho I vote in this column was much be hind the regular ticket. In the County offices, Lump kin repeated his 1934 contest act, by defeating both of his oppo ,n the flrBt cottnt. receiving 3Z?2 against his opponents com bined vote of 2106. Ford, for Register of Deeds was an easy winner over his opponent, as was also Terrell over his opponent for County Commissioner from District No. 3. In the race for Judge of Re- 1 corder s Court, Malone lacked on ly 378 votes defeating his three opponents. This contest presents a possibility of a second primary with J, L. Palmer the running mate of Judge Malone. John P. Moore, the present Sheriff led the ticket In this par ticular contest with H. Crawford Kearney of Frankllnton, running second. This contest is one which furnished surprise to many as predictions were freely made that Harris, Strickland or Kear ney, either would be the running mate for Moore in the second' primary. The Coroner's race developed an undecided victor again this year with Bobbitt the present f Coroner leading and Ball run ning second. Freeman, the third contestant was not so far behind Ball receiving 1364 votes against Ball's 1507. There was no contest this year in the membership for the Board 01 Education. The only reason the names were placed upon the ticket being to instruct the Leg islature in its appointments, tfio wishes of the people of ffiV TMun ty. Mrs. T. H. Dickens, of Dis trict No. 4 and Dr. H. G. Perry of District No. 5 were nominated without opposition. There were contests for Con stable in seven of the ten town ships out of which only four townships completed tha Job of nominating a candidate, the othsr three present possibilities, aad probabilities of contests. In Dunns township Braptley led the race with R. P. Pearce running second, while in Harris, Privett led Ayescue his next highest on ly one vote, with Bell's 72 votes to be divided later. In Cedar Rock township Davis led with a vote of 266 against his second, Wood, receiving 186, leaving Stone's 83 to be divided. The best of friendly feelings prevailed at this primary that ' has been witnessed in many years, which indicates Franklin's sportsmanship is making a heal thy growth and our voters are becoming more satisfied with the fairness of letting the majority rule. The second primary can only be called by the second highest ' candidate in any contest and this request must be made in writing within five days after the result of the primary has been declared] by the Board of Elections, which 1 declaration was made In Franklin County on Monday, and therefore means that the request must be made by Saturday. five days ldter. The request must be made by the second highest for each office in which a second primary is desir ed. The fact that a second pri mary is called for in one ofTice does not automatically call a sec ond for any other office or to settle any other contest. The * second primary, if held, would be held four weeks after the first primary. In this instance the s-econd primary would be held on July 4th. Legal advice in Frank lin says the fact that July 4th is a National holiday would have no effect upon the legality of the time as set by law. - / Serious Accident Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Tucker and Misses Lonie and Susie Mea dows were very painfully, if not seriously, injured in an automo bile collision near Franklinton early Tuesday morning. They! were brought back to Louisburg and received treatment at Dr. Johnson's office. Reports from | the scene show that a truck being! driven by a C C C boy attempted to turn into a side road just east of the Towel Mill, making a left; turn, at which time the car driv-l en by Mr. Tucker collided with the truck. Evidently the driver of the truck failed to see the car or misjudged the speed, and Mr. Tucker did not have time to stop when he saw the truck drive in front of him. In addition to many other cuts and bruises Mr. Tucker was almost scalped, Mrs. Tucker was badly cut about the face as also was Miss Susie Mea daws. Miss Lonie Meadows was not badly hurt. Mr. Tucker and party .were en route to Shelby. His car was badly damaged. Later reports indicated the in jured were recovering from the shock and responding to treat ment for the injuries nicely,, and no serious complications had arisen. LEASES SERVICE STATION Mr. Dick Yarborough, who has been operating a filling station < on Route 56 just across Fox 1 Swamp, has leased the Standard Filling Station on the corner of Main and Franklin Streets form-! erly operated by Sykes & Stovall. Mr. Yarborough will sever his' connections with the former sta tion and give all his attentions to the new location. W. KERR SCOTT Is leading W. A. Graham for Commissioner of Agriculture. JOSIAH W. BAILKJf Who it seems has outdistanced all three of his opponents. Franklin County Women Attend rhird Triennial Conference Coun try Women of the World ? Over 0000 Delegates ? North Carolinu Sends Over 500 To National Capitol More than 6000 delegates at-' :ended the conference of the Ah-! jociated Country Women of the World in Washington. North Carolina sent a delegation of inorfe than 500 to the conference, ill of them proud of the fact that Virs. Brooks Tucker; of Grimes and. our state president, was speaker on one of the conference programs. Franklin County was "e presented by Mrs. W. S. Person, Mrs. T. D. O'Quinn. Mrs. Duke White, Mrs. J. S. Williams. Mrs. 3. W. Perry, Miss Bessie strange, Virs. P. R. Inscoe, Mrs. Ed Dean, Mrs. L. G. Turnage and Miss Sara Louise Weaver, home demonstra^ ion agent. This group of farm women ! same from the four corners of :he earth to exchange ideas and :o make contacts with women of >ther sections. There was no vay of identifying them as coun- i *.ry women for their dress and manner was as choice as many of , >ur city residents. Nor was their conversation limited to personal 'arm problems, but to current events of the day and a keen ex pression of interest in modes of iving and understanding of dif ferent people. The association was organized i n London in 1929 under the guidance of Lady Aderdeen, of | Scotland. Meetings followed in 3wedeh and Austria. The aim )f this group is the unification of -ural womens organization of the world and the provision of an op portunity for them to discuss j problems of mutual interest. Much of the time in Washing- > Ion was spent in seeing the beau tiful city. It might well be call sd the city of marble. Visits were made to the Capitol, Con gressional Library, Lincoln Me morial, White House, Monument, Vlonastary, Arlington and points 3f interest, Mt. Vernon and aj gorgeous ride down the Potomac River. All in all this was a wonderful trip with happy and inspiring memories to carry on with us in Dur homes and communities. " TO WIDEN PAVEMENT In a PWA project the town of ficials will cooperate in widening! the pavement on South Main; Street from the T%rboro road toj the corporate limits from the ! 1 present 18 feet to 36 feet and the construction of gravel sidewalks. This will be quite an improve ment. 1 In extending credit, oeware of' excessively optimistic people. The FRANKLIN TIMES Invite you to Loulsburg Next Week.

(Thursday) ? Joseph Wellington Byrns, Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives. died at 12:15 a. m., E.S.T., today of a heart attack fol lowed by a cerebral hemorrhage. Dr. George W. Calver, capitol physician, announced the death of the Speaker, who was 66 years old. "Speaker Byrns suffered a heart attack at 5:30 p. m., Wed nesday afternoon," the physician said. "At 11 p. ra., he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and at 12:15 a. m., he died." Death occurred in the Speak er's apartment in the Mayflower Hotel. The White House was in formed Immediately, and the news was relayed to other officials, who were profoundly shocked. Was Unexpected The death was wholly unexpect ed. Byrns, a Tennessean who has had a long career in Congress, had been active almost up to the last in the tremendous taBk of trying to clean up pending legis lation and adjourn Congress by this week-end. Friends believed the strain of this task may have been at least partly responsible for his sudden passing. BONUS BONDS The following instructions, giv en out by T. Mortimer Harris.
