THE FRANKLIN TIM&S^ Issued Every Friday 215 Court Street TcleMimc 283-1 ?, A. P. JOflJi'SOS, Kditor and MMger James l.lohiibon, Assistant Editor and Manager SIBSCRIPTIOXRATES One Year ........ $1.50 Eight Months .... 1.00 / Six Months 75 Four Months . . . .50 Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Kntered at the Postoffice at Louteburg, X. C. as second cl&aa mail matter. Lets all pull for the meat curing storage and packing plartt and canning plant. We don't know of anything that would be of*as much Value to the county as this. The question many people in North Carolina would like to- have answered is "Why did Congressmen ( in stead and Lambeth refuse to run for re-election There is bound to be some good reason and the public would like to know what it is. Now that Louisbnrg has a fairly good force of Wl'A workers il should develop and build at least one other outlet from town in each direction.' If anything should happen that either of the outlets at present could not be used then the town would be shut out to and bottled up in that direction. This condition ought to be cor rected. POLITICALLY Since our last issue politics in Franklin County lias been the chief topic of conversation wlierc.ver a number happened to get together. Also since our last issue oth er rumors have found their way to the TIMES office, which seems to add interest to the momentum the pres ent campaign is entering. His many friends say tlTeTlMES failed to name the strongest candidate for Recorder, this being the present \ ice-Recorder, E. C. Bulluck. He is a ]>romising young attorney and is popular among a host of friends who will be glad to "shell the woods" for him. But this does not check the division of interest, Hamilton H. Hobgood, one of the State's most heralded young ora tors, and himself a popular young man ??f a splendid legal mind, although not yet a member of the bar, is entering the race, if the rumors are true. He also will have to be counted in the running. Likewise .lames J.. Palmer, possibly the most familiar person in Franklin County with the Court records, procedure and laws, not to be a lawyer is not to be discounted as lie i> very, uiueh in the race, and with the bug singing merrily in the ears of at least three more, others may enter before the "first heat" is run. Those who are keeping in close touch with the. pro posed candidates may add the names of.. I. K. Tliarrinn tou, of Youngsville, to the list of woulftbe Auditors, if rumors are to be credited. Mr. Tharrington is a tine young man and a splendid accountant ami i>- at piest'nt holding a most important position with the First -Citi zens Rank and Trust Co. Another suggestion i> Wal lace Green, of Franklinton, one of the County's most popular young men and efficient accountants in the county. It lias been suggested why can't Franklin send a lady to the House of Representatives _to represent it. Mrs. JBen T. Holden lias been selected as the proper one. She is capable, energetic, very popular, a harworker and a very Strong Democrat, besides being an exceptionally tine business woman. Possibly the most interesting piece of political news comes from Cedar Rock and states thai Taylor W. Boone, popular Chairman of Franklin 's^Board of Coun ty Commissioners, is considering relinquisliinu: his pres ent post and running for Sheriff. Such reports have been circulated in former campaigns, but may terminate in this one. In the event Mr. Boone decides not to run for Commissioner, according to this report, James .1. Lancaster is expected to enter the race for Mr. Boone's place on the Board. This happens to be the first indi cation of any interest asserting itself in regand to the attitude of the public to the Commissionershtps. Since this, rumor begun to float about it waS ascertained that Dunns township expected to return its present member of the Board, John M. Stallings, in whom they are well pleased. It is stated that the political bee is singing around Harvey Bartholomew, who is considering en tering the race for member of the Board of County Com missioners from the 5th district, composed of Louisburg and Cypress Creek townships. - Harvey is one of Louis burg's leading young business men and is no doubt Well fitted for the place. ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAWS One of the obstacles in the way of enforcement of laws against reckless automobile driving is the practice of 41 ticket-fixing." In large cities and small communities alikf there has grown up a practice of letting off viola tors 'of thp traffic laws with a suspended sentence, pro vided the offender has political pull or other influence. The dreadful annual toll of motor fatalities will never be checked onless the laws against excessive speeding and<reckleM and drunken driving are rigidly enforced. It ii disheartening to those charged with enforcing the traffic laws to make |m arrest or serve a summons on a motorist, only to haVe the .charge dismissed or sentenced LOUISBURG BAPTIST CHURCH ; | . !> :4f) A.

Dr. Newton has been a Missionary in China I ! tor Thirty-five years. suspended, because of "pull." New York City started a year ago to reform this prac tice. The imposition of fines for traffic violations was made compulsory ou magistrates, who could no longer suspend sentences. One result has been to cut down the numbex of traffic accidents. Another has been to in crease the city's revenues by nearly $750, (KM) a year, mak ing the magistrates' court practically self-sustaining. There is too much laxity in law-enforcement of all kinds in this country. There should.be no leniency for wilful violators of the laws for safe driving. Franklin County Financial Statement .
