Louisburg: Its Neighborhoods
Physical And Social Conditions
Area U is located south of
r the Tar River, the eastern boun
dary being the Town limits,
the aouthern boundary being
N. C. Highway 56, and the wes
tern limit being County Road
1226.
Area II Is the older of the1
two areas. In the past ten
years, the only growth with
in Area II has oc urred along
the major streets In the forms
of businesses and light Indus
trial actltlvles. Approximate
ly 64% of the 449 acres of land
within the area Is unused, hous
es and streets make up the
largest percentage of the land
In use, and Industrial, social
and cultural, and business uses
employ small amounts of land.
There Is some mixing of land
uses within Area II resulting In
Inefficient land use. For In
stance, Riverside High School
Is almost surrounded by com
mercial and Industrial activity,
accompanied by noise, odor,
dust, traffic, and poor access to
the school which are evident
problems for the children.
External structural contltlons
In Area II consist of a general
spread of poor conditions, the
need for minor and major re
pairs throughout. The hous
ing situation Is serious while
the churches and service sta
tions need minor repairs If!
any. Overall conditions range
from fair to poor. Only 43%
of all the structures are In
good condition. One out of every
three structures needs minor
repair. The remaining 21% re
quire expensive repair or
demolition. It Is evident that
Area n Is In much worse con
dition than Area I.
Examination of the social con
ditions of Area II Indicates ex
isting problems of equal or
greater magnitude than those
of Area I. An overabundance
of welfare cases, fire calls,
etc. are clustered In particu
lar sections of Area II? the
1,000 block of South Main Street,
Perry Street-Kenmore Street
section, Mineral Springs Road,
and Bunn Road. Thus, after
comparing the social conditions
with the structural conditions,
we are able to recognize the
correlation between substan
dard physical conditions and so
cial problems.
Church Breaks

Ed. Building
(Frit. B.W.) On Sunday morn
ing, November 17, the congre
gation of Frankllnton Methodist

structure Is to be of masonry
and brlck-veneer and the cost of
construction Is to be approxi
mately $36,000.00, excluding
any furnishings.

A. R. Wheeler, Mrs. Woodrow
Hasklns, G. L. Applef. rd, T.

Alarms
Two fire alarms and a rescue
call kept the local populace
pretty well shook up here Satur
day, but there were no very
serious consequences.
A rescue call about 3 p.m.
Saturday set things In motion.
This was followed by a fire
alarm In the Mineral Springs
section just after sundown and a
slight fire In the shop at As
sociated Motors In Prultt Town
blasted the calm about an hour
later.
Both of the fires were ex
tinguished with very little If any
damage resulting.

The annual Christmas Seal
campaign In Franklin County
will receive Its traditional

Rev. Aubrey S. Tomllnson,

that millions of lives have been
saved since the first contribu

Seal. "But the saving of lives
is not enough," he added. "We
are also continuing to wage a
relentless fight against the suf
fering, tragedy, loss of time and
money that result from TB an
other diseases that affect
breathing. Many of these other
respiratory diseases are not
only gravely harmful In them
selves, but lncreas suscepti

N, C? will serve as Franklin
County Director of the 1964
March of Dimes, Wendell H.
Eysenbach, State Volunteer Di
rector, announced today.
Rev. Duncan, who directed the
1962 March of Dimes and In
creased receipts fivefold over
the previous year, will again
direct volunteers during the
forthcoming January 2-31 an
nual campaign In the county to

can the people of Franklin Coun-,
ty will give generously again to
support the. March of Dimes
scientific assault on these crlp
plers. ]n deciding the amount

j but we are confident It will be
| done since the needs are great.
Nabbed At Still
j A Franklin County man, Cal
vin Albert Splvey, was ar
| ralgned here Monday on chire??
1 resulting from a liquor still
raid by federal agents during
| the week end.
Agents said they arrested
Splvey, 36, at a ,60-gallon pot
type still behind his home on
Rt. 4, Loulsburg. The still and
40 gallons of mash were de
stroyed. No liquor was seized.
Splvey was released under
$500 bond after being arraigned
before U. S. Commissioner Re
va Rothrock of Raleigh.
/ s
lion pounds.
Poorer quality offerings, how
ever, dropped the 1963' crop
sales average to $54.54 from
$60.12 the year before.
Local market observers had
predicted at the beginning of the
season that the market here
would do well to sell 8 million
pounds in view of the generally
poor growing season and short
crop expectations.
That the. crop was off In both
quality and weight in this
area was pretty well evidenced
as sales got underway. What
hadn't been figured on, however,
was an estimated 3 to 4 mil
lion pounds of so-called "eas
tern tobacco" that was brought
In and sold on the local market.
Markets east of here were so
flooded with leaf that growers
were forced to look elsewhere
for a market. Chances are that
while conditions next year may
allow them to sell on markets
closer to them, a good number
of the eastern growers will be
back as a result of more per
sonal considerations as well as
prices received on the Louis
burg market.
Whatever the reasons were
and there were bound to be
several, the results combined
to set* another recent history,
sales record for the Louisburg
Tobacco Market, and at a time,
too, when a great majority of
the markets were having
troubles meeting their 1962
season sales marks.

Route 4 Farmer
Arrested In Raid
A Route 4, Louisburg man, j
G. C. (Big Man) Barthoromew,
was arrested Friday after reve
nuers found a still and a largo
quantity of booze making equip
ment on his farm about 5 miles
east of Louisburg.
All of the equipment was re
portedly found in outbuildings
on the farm. One- contained a
50 gallon, gas fired, copper pot
type still, a 30 gallon double
barrel and a 50 gallon cooler
barrel along with a copper coil
and condenser. The still was
fired by a four burner gas
heater. Three cylinders of
bottled gas wefe also found in
one of the outbuildings. All of
the equipment and material was
destroyed. *
A spokesman for the raiding
party said that the set up was
evidently used for the pro
duction of apple brandy as some
13 fifty-five gallon barrels bf
cider were on hand as were
fourteen empty barrels. Six of
Jthe parrels of cider were found
in a tobacco barn which was
equipped with a false plastic
ceiling used to keep the heat
down near the barrels. Tem
perature in the barn was set '
at 95 degrees, apparently in an i
attempt to insure quicker fer
mentation of the cider.
Bartholomew was taken to
Raleigh where he waived hear
ing before U. S. Commissioner
fteva Rothrock and was released
under $1,000 bond.
Agents from the Henderson
ATTL) office were in charge of
the raid, assisted by Vance
County ABC Officers and
Franklin Sheriffs deputies.
