THE FRANKLIN TIMES Issued Every Friday 210 Court Street Tflephoiif itW-1 A. F. JOHNSON, Editor and Manage; Jkine* A. JohneoB, Assistant Editor and Manug<<r SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Yejur 91.50 Bight Months .... 1.00 Six Months 7o Four Months ... .50 II Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Entered at the Poetofflce at Louifcburg. X. C. as second class mall matter. Congressman" Cooley was eternally right in his state ment that flie present farm bill is repugnant to all true Americans, and entirely Unamerican. lie also may be right irt that it' is the best remedy for farm condition* we have offered and is better than nothing. The name of the latest entrant into the political race, coming- to the TIMES, is that of John T. Sawyer, of Franklinton, who it is understood will run for County Commissioner. Mr. Sawyer is a barber by trade, and has won the confidence of his many friends for tin- interest he has taken in public matters. All farmers in Franklin County who ale entitled to vote on the Crop Control bill should attend the voting place and cast his or her vote entirely in keeping with his or her desires. It is the desire of the government to get a free and full expression from the farmers and it is your tluty to yourself and family to go out and vote. The latest political reports say that Dr. W .K. Bass will enter the race for County Commissioner from t lie 5th District, and that Night Policeman C. F. Cash will contest the place for Constable for Louisburg Township. Both of these gentlemen are well fitted for the positions mentioned and no doubt have many friends who will be glad to support them. ft Governor Hoey has designated the week of March 6th to 12th as Highway Safety Week, ami urges the strictest of care to be used while traveling on the high ways of the State in order to reduce the highway fatali ties. This is a splendid move in the right direction and it is hoped all who use the highway, both pedestrians and drivers of vehicles, may co-operate in this great and important movement. The present farm bill presents a two sided question. While one group of farmers are working hard for its adoption, other groups are working against its carriage. It's a farmers question and should be fully discussed by farmers, both as to it's possible benefits and it's possible disadvantages, and special weight should be given to the practical side. Bead the communication from the Bunu farmers in this issue. Congressman Cooley said in his speech here Saturday he didn't believe there was a surplus in any of the com moditiqs, but that the present situation was caused from the lack of a proper distribution system. What we can't understand is why the government is willing to spend and keep on spending so much money on the Control programs and not develop a better distribution system for the farm crops. There is hardly any question but that which we are suffering because of a surplus of oth ers are suffering for the want of. The TIMES is in receipt of a letter from Mr. E. A. Harris, of Franklinton, requesting the TIMES to state that he was not a candidate for Auditor and the sugges tion was made "without his knowledge or consent.'' It i9 considered quite complimentary for one's friends To believe in him strong enough and admire him suftifcient to suggest him for responsible public office. The TIMES is sure Mr. Harris occupies this position. The publica tion of this suggestion, however, was known to be with out his knowledge, but was without meaning offense, otherwise it would have been classed as advertising and placed in a different location. There seems to be a flock of bad dogs hanging around North Main Street in the vicinity of King's filling sta tion that unless brought under legal safety restrictions the town of Louisburg is liable to suffer heavy damages. .Within the past two weeks these dogs have attacked and bitten a United States mail carrier on the streets and also a laundry agent from Henderson. An investi gation by the parties attacked failed to establish the ownership of the dogs, but it was clearly visible the dogs were without muzzles as is required by the State law and the town ordinance while running at large. In both caaes the town has been officially notified of the circumstance and of its liability in event of any damag ing result. It looks as if it would be an act of wisdom on the part of the town to enforce its laws by impound ing these dogs unless they are kept fully muzzled, and Jdll them off if the owners can't be found. The t6wn naturally will be liable for damages when it fails to en ferofi its lftwa gad the damage results from such failure. But It's True_ TV* cfTTCfi ??rr? 'IS T*f 13 tM ? .?
