For some time now the city water tanks have been practically empty. We do not know whether this is caused by a shortage of water or a shortage of power. - In 'either case something should be done about this matter. Should a serious fire occur in the business section of town at this time the fire department could do nothing except watch the town burn. Has the water in the new well been tested as to its fitness for drinking purposes? "This should be done be fore the water is . pumped into the mains. The town authorities request that the citizens use as little water as pos sible until the new, pump is installed It is earnestly hoped that water users will comply with this request. Other wise an ordinance will probably be necessary prohibiting people from using waer on gardens, lawns, etc. Let us hope that the new superin tendent of the Franklin high school will be able to persuade the authori ties to beautify the school grounds. The mufflers don't muffle and still the speeders speed. When a child is killed by a speed maniac we presume that the indifference of the authorities will cease. Buthis is ? mighty price to pay in order' to get the state laws enforced in Franklin. What is the town going to do about sewage dsposal? The public is in terested .in this matter, ., . . The citizens of Franklin are paying taxes cn "bonds issued for a sewage system. . Only a very, few citizens are receiving direct benefits from this sys . tern. Isn't it about time that sewer .Jines be extended? A The town board does not wish to interfere in any way with .visitors to our town.- Consequently the parking law which has been in effect for al .most a year has been revoked. Visit ' oja fcnd citizens o fthe town may now park anywhere on Main street its long as ihey wish. It would not be a bad ideti lor citizens to park somewhere near the square so as to free Main street from as much congestion as possible. The Supreme Court of North Caro lina has decided that counties can lend money to the state for purposes of road oenstruetion. This, clears the way for building the road from Frank lin to the top of the Cowee moun tains. ' -. ,- - ' Some Wheat Mr. Lee Barnard is a very versatile man. Knows a little about everything and everything about some things. But perhaps he knows "most' about wheat growing. Last Tuesday he thrashed 55. dozen wheat and received pay at the rollersmill for 55J4 bushels and a few pounds. That's going some. State Takes Over Part 28 The state has taken over the main .tcnance of highway No. 28 both ways from Franklin as far as the road his been graded. Mr. George Stallcup started the .-scraper 'last Tuesday on the section (rom Franklin to foot of Nantahalas. Ve da not " know how far the state will maintain the road up Sugar Fork probably to Cullasaja post. .office. . :. ,. r.. The next, co-operative car loa4 of poultry is to be loaded at Franklin on Wednesday, July 15th and at Otto and Dillard early on the morning qf July 16th. Get -your poultry fat and hold it until the sale unless the ped dlers offer an extra good price. County Agent Arrendale .plans to sell this car to go to a summer tourist section where the prices should be good. Tell, your neighbors and do not forget the dates.

Mnny people think of the signers of the Declaration of Independence as graybeards, old In y?ars, ripe In wis dom and endowed with the vision which decades of experience Is sup posed to bring.'- None, of the 56 men who .finally affixed their signatures to this Important declaration, pledging to Its support their lives, . fortunes and sacred ; honor, was old enough to be suspected of senility, though a few were so young that they might be liable to a charge of immaturity of Judgment. - John Hancock, president of the con gress, something of a "blade" and none too conservative In', his attitude on some Important matters, was only thirty-nine years old when the general congress assembled In ; Independence . John Hancock., hall, Philadelphia, to consider the word ing of the historical document. . The oldest man in the congress was Ben jamin Franklin, -who had passed his seventieth birthday only six months before.' The youngest was Edward Rutledge of South Carolina, who at tained his twenty-seventh birthday in the November following the famous Fourth of July ; Thomas Lynch, Jr.; of the same state was his senior by only a few months. Of the whole number but seven had passed their sixtieth year; nine were between fifty end plxty years old, 19 were between forty and fifty, and the same number, 19, were between thirty and forty. The first mentioned were the only ones under thirty years of age. , The average age of the members of the general congress was ' 43.87 years. It has1 been remarked that there were enough young men to fur nish enthusiasm, enough middle-aged 7 John Hancock's Tomb and Monument. men tq check.4ndlcreet action and enough well-matured men to balance thlsinpst Important conference. iThe. first of the signers to die was Button Gwinnett of Georgia, who Uved only until May 27 of the following year. , Charles Carroll of Virginia was the longest-lived after that memorable date. He watched the new states grow In power and influence until November 18, 1832; so that some persons, still living might- have touched a hand which held the pen while signing the Declaration of Independence.
