THE FRANKLIN PRESS. FRANKLIN, N. C. THURSDAY, APRIL 13. Ihiu Building and Loan Facts and Figures FUN FOR MATHEMATICIANS In the Stan!:ir! 1 idionar, of 1M4, under the word "iute'cvt" ymi will find it staled lint it" C'.VK CF.N'T lird been placed at ten per cent in terest on the first day of the Christ ian Era, with interest compounded, the result in 1"94 would be: $5,875,5W,lU),39Sf)20,2o5,424.925,3P.(), ,303,M3M,770S.77J,5 12,724,540,909,131,-031,124,625,405.-14. Offhand, and our guess is as good as anybody's'" since no man can begin to comprehend ther.c collossal figures we would guess that this is many mil lion times r.'rc money than there is in the whole world. Someone else has computed that . One Cent at live per cent interest for the same length of time would amount to more gold than the veight of the earth and the whole planetary sys tem put together. Just what does this mean? Has it .any significance? -It means this: That if it were not 'for panics, wars, financial storms and -conomic7upheavals,jiUerest on money would sink to a fraction of one per cent. Only great waste, holds intcr ' icst rales' to their present level. 'Another "factor in holding up inter csl rates is individual waste, the ten dency of people to consume all they produce. To get people to save money requires a strong inducement. Without interest, without a reward for thrift, the world would soon be living from hand U mouth. You, who arc reading this, have the opportunity to embrace comyound earnings, which even over a period of ten or twenty years, add greatly .to the growth of money.

Foxes in Macon County Be coming Terror to Poultry Growers Says Bill Moore Bill Doing His Best to Lessen Menace County Should Act Believe Many Who Believe Bill. l'e it understood now, henceforth and forever that this is the story as relate;! by Bill Moore, cashier of the Citizens Hank of Franklin, and premier fox hunter of 'Macon county. The public can believe it or not. The reporter of The Press assumes no responsibility and has no intention of vouching for the truthfulness of the story as told by Bill. Neither docs the reporter question Bill's veracity, that is, not publicly at least. According to Bill his dogs, Dan, Blue, Betty and Snowball, are fox dogs and will not "open up" on trail of any other animal. Just a night or two ago Bill stopped his car on the road near the double churches and let his dogs out. A rabbit, blinded by the lights of the car, came run ning through, over and under the dogs. 'The dogs merely looked ""dis gusted and went on about their busi ness. That's the kind of dogs Bill brags about. Bill had been called out to the double churches by Mrs. Hall who claimed that the foxes were' eat ing up her chickens. Bill says that Mrs. Hall was in despair having worn out se eral brooms . on the foxes as they toted off her fat hens. Whether or not Mrs. Hall really told Bill this is a matter of doubt to all excepting Bill. Nevertheless the dogs struck a hot trail right in the road and proceeded to chase Reynard all over the mountains. According to Bill this was a red fox his dogs were after. Where . possible Bill's dogs always prefer to chase the more distinguished species. However, when no red fox is abroad the dogs will condescend to chase a gray fox. If Bill's stories are to be given credence and why not? r'v"'1' ..s'i,'',L rd i fiHip.)thj'iT,t,.to in Macon. At least this is the opinion expressed by many who have listened w it h bu 1 gi n gcy c s t o B i 1 1 ' s stories concerning the number of - foxes now making life miserable for the poor chicken raisers. And besides brooms are expensive and those now burrden cd with heavy taxes should not be re quired to buy brooms to protect their poultry flocks from foxes.

What's Wrong With the Rural Church? This is a question that astonishes me. Only a few years ago the rural church was active in furthering the Great Cause, but today it is sleeping silently. This may' not seem so vital a question on first thought, but after it has been considered, we must recog nize the fact that our city churches are founded on the rural church. I heard a man say the other day that the rural church was needed no more, that everyone could go to the town church. This is a fatal mistake, .h.qr;is;-;.c,p ons. And the rural chufchervTces should be "carried on" for this reas on, if no other. I - think it- a- miserable shame to neglect .this matter of greatness. If the human race in Macon county, full as it is of the ancient Anglo Saxon blood, is not. doing its duty during this present generation, where will -the future M aconite wake up? -This is - the - most dangerous phase of the human life, and after all the most important. If it be neglected and allowed to drift' on "to where it wil.l" what will be the result? Who is responsible? I have been living nearby a rural church since I was a small boy, 1917. I have seen, in those remote days of my childhood, that church crowded, packed, arid jammed, but it is not so now. The lights of this church have not burned in the past five years. And to my certain knowledge a mini ster's voire has not been heard from that, pulpit in the short space of five months. What's the matter? WhatV-the-mattcr ?- : A. MASHBURN. Peach Crop Killed? , While there is no offical thermome ter at Franklin readings here early Monday morning showed the mercury standing at 23 to 25 degrees. One of the heaviest frosts of-the winter covered th1 ground. Reports reaching Franklin from various parts of the county indicate that the peach crop has been badly 'damaged if not entirely killed. Much damage was also done to earlier varieties of apples. . , , p- . BIRTHDAY DINNER Mrs. George M. Slagle honored her husband at a birthday dinner last Sunday. The occasion celebrated the birthday of two brothers, Messrs. Tom ' Slagle and George Slaglc. The invited guests were : Mr. and Mrs. Tom Slaglc, Miss Annie Slagle, Mr. John Slaglc, -Miss Amanda Slagle and Miss Kathennc Siler. Many implements we Joe C. Gibson F.dilor Franklin Press: The subqect of this sketch, Mr. Joe C. Gibson, pased from the suffer ing and cares of this e-irth to the peace, joy, and rest of the home above, one month ago today. While we 'very much appreciate the liberal notice of. his death given in your paper at the time, we suppose that a few lines from some of his neighbors those who knew him best will not be without interest to your readers some of them at least. He was truly an outstanding citizen in , the comunity the county as well, for, that matter; and it would be diffi cult to over estimate his many good traits of character. Suffice it to say that in his death the 'community where he .' lived, and indeed the county at large has sus tained a sad, and seemingly an al most irreparable loss. The writer, having known him in timately for more than 50 years, and during that having had nume rous business transactions with him from time to time, and observed his many hundreds of transactions with others, can bear willing testimony to the fact that he was honest in his dealings, kind and considerate in his manner, and upright in his purposes. There was never anything shady in his business transactions, nor in his daily conduct with his fellowman be ing open, frank, and honest with all. The "Golden Rule" was the motto of his life; and he exemplified its principles in his daily conduct. If there w;as ohc thing in life that gave him more real plcausrc and joy than anything else, it was that of ac commodating those who stood in need of his help; and when fortune seem ed to cheat them with the Apples of the Dead Sea, they could always go to him with perfect confidence. If they became indebted to him and many did that he was always lenient and forbearing, and always managed ' to help them pay out in such a way as to give them the least embarrassment, worry, and sacrifice, possible. . His life was a blessing to the com munity in which he lived; and his in fluence was on the right side of all questions. . ..' O CJ "- -,. siderable property, but the richest bequest-handed down - to his -children and posterity, is not the 'amount of property left them, but the clean, nob le, and useful life that he lived. His family and friends may well prize this as a bequest of priceless value. He was no idle talker never in-: dulged in obscene or profane language, smutty yarns, or unchaste anecdotes; and though not an educated man, his language was chaste and pure. He had many outstanding virtue's, and left the assurance to his friends that all was well with him in the hereafter dying as he had lived, in peace with God and his fellowman. A sober, industrious, hard-workintr. honest, and kind-hearted citizen, hej has gone from labor to reward his life work is ended; and his remains rest in the cemetery at. Snow Hill , Methodist church. , , . The very large congregation attend ing his burial and funeral exercises they coming from all sections, of dif-l fercnt counties and states attested the esteem and love in which he was held by all. XHEN you see a pic- X. ture like this in vreal life you may safely wager that the man in side is wearing custom made clothes, Men of affairs always do! Why any man should do otherwise, is almost beyond belief when T a y 1 o r-m a d e Clothes can be bought to order as low as $25. and no higher than $60. J. T. MOORE & CO. Franklin, N. C.
