HENDERSOjV gold leap, TUESD.Vr, PEBBUAKY 22, 1916. FIFTH PAGE nilLTH TALKSi BAPTISTS HAD RALLY AT SOUTH HENDERSON j—^BY THE j VANCE COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER Contests, Essays, a Lecture, and Presentations of Prizes at NO. 1.—FEIEND OR ENEMY? A lew people know a great deal about loss of life that is due to dis- eases that could be prevented. Prob ably the majority of people do not know about this waste of hum^'n life for they have not thought about it. Many of them cannot be made to think about until they have lost a loved one The question, “is a health officer a friend or an enemy?” is one importance. Let us ask r. few ques tions in order to find out just what he is: Is he a policeman? No. Is it his business to stir up strife and have people arrested? No. Is he an inspector of ba^k yards? No. Well then what is he? First of all he is a teacher. And right here let me say that until the people as a whole are taught that hurhan life is worth saving, and until we get the people to practice the thing they are taught, and practice those things voluntarily, wo will not get very public health work Sunday School. far Oh yes, sometimes the health of ficer is compelled to ask the aid of the police to enforco certain laws, but the idea I am trying to convey that when the people themselves realize the importance of these things they will seldom need more than a suggestion that certain im provements are needed. Now, is it a friend or an enemy that gives Typhoid serum to three thousand people in Vance county in one year, and thus saves perhaps a hundred people from that disease? Is it a friend or an en >my that points out the 56 deaths we had in our county last year from Tubercu losis, and is endeavoring now tc teach every persons who has the dis ease how not to givo it to others. Is it a friend_ or an enemy that puts warning signs on homes where there are contagious diseases so that other people may avoid those diseses? la it a friend or an enemy that notifies people of stagnant water that breeds mosquitoes to spread Malaria? Is it a friend or an enemy that requires stables to be kept clean in order that fiies may not be allowed to breed and^ spread Typhoid and Dysentery? Is it—Oh well, why multiply. If you are willing to help we will have a healthy town and county; and if you are not willing to do your part we won’t be able to accomplish very much. (Special Correspondence.) A splendid program was render ed by the Junior and Senior choirs of South Henderson Baptist church Sunday. The two choirs had a ery interesting’ and well balanced contest. The judges rendered their decision two to one in favor of the senior choir, which received a beau tiful desk for the Philathea Class Room. This prize was given by the Baraca Class. Some of the girls read essays on the life of Washing ton, which would be a credit to any school girl of equal age any where in the State. There were 257 present at Sun day school besides the visitors, which made the attendance nearly 400. Each one was- given a small card containing the stars and bars and a Geo. Washington hatchet in memory of Washington’s ^Mrthday. After the choirs had finished their contest the audience was addressed by Dr. D. C. Absher, who made a very fitting talk on sanitation. Dr. Absher emphasized how important it was to keep down the spread of i in the thickly settled dis tricts. His remarks seemed to be well taken by all who heard him. The last thing on the program was the a^Varding of the prize, which was done in a very fitting manner by Mr. W. W. Parker. All those present seemed to en joy themselves to the fullest ex tent, and many said that it was one of the great days in the history of the Church.

DAVIS & SONS COMP’NY THE STORE THAT BUYS“FOR CASH, SELLS FOR CASH OR ON TIflE, LENDS ITS CUSTOMERS MONEY, AND WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD SECBET.4BY L.IN.SING RECALLS RECORD OP SECRETARY ROOT Washington, Feb. 22.—Senator Stone, after conference with Secre tary Lansing, has discovered that While former Senator Root argues passionately that the United States failed signally in its duty by not protesting against the violation of the neutrality of Belgium, his own record as secretary of state under Roosevelt is not a bit clean. When a special commissioner from Korea, Min Yungi Tehan, call ed on Secretary Root in December, 1905, and appealed to him to’pro- test in the nsme of a treaty which THIRD LYCEUM LECTURE THURSDAY EVENING $100 Reward, $100 The readers of tins paper will pleased to learn that there is at least dreaded disease that science has ' ! positive cure now known fraternity. Catarrli being- a ~?quires " — and that is is the only existed between the United States and Korea against the aggression of Japan, the then American secretary turned a deaf ear. America, Mr. Root now argues, should have pro tested against the violation of Bel gium’s neutrality under The Hague convention—though not a single other neutral national did, but, ir respective of the doubtful construc tion of the convention, it would seem to have been manifestly more the duty of the United States to help Korea under a specific treaty of uneqivocal language. Mr. Root, however, playing the expediencies of far eastern politics and support ed by Mr. Roosevelt in his course, deliberately rejected the appeal of Korea.
