poises
The hUatoric Franklin county court '?
house was packed to Its utmost ca.1
pacity Sunday afternoon at three o'-i
clock, with members of both races
who had journeyed" there to hear a1
memorable address by Dr. Charles j
O'Hagan Laughtnghouse, Secretary of'
, the State Board of Health and State
Health Officer. They were there, not
withstanding the fact that dark, over
hanging clouds had pushed back the
face of Old Sol and Jupiter Pluvius,1
hiding in the keck ground, was
.threatening to momentarily descend
uptu their heads.- J
The occasion was the monthly meet
ing of the Franklin Connty Welfare
Association,. and the speaker brought
a message that will be lasting in its"
imprints upon every one who was
i'.nuuaie bbuukii w ucm it. -.
Dr. Laughinghouse's discourse was
nut with truth, admonition and
. - i ation. ,
. . it being happily ppeBented by the
ci a.Dr. J. B. Davis, Dr. S. P.
P.Ui. uiroduced the speaker as a
man > j had been the recipient ot
almost e.ery honor within the gift ot
his fellows, and following this splen
did introduction, the health official
congratulated his hearers upon coma
ing out in such large numbers on a
?Sunday afternoon toadd their bit to
the program of a voluntary welfare
organization, then said ha, with great
emphasis:
"When I see people here who do not
live in mansions; who are not blessed
with all ot the comforts of life; who
do not own line automobiles, attend,
ing a voluntary welfare meeting along
. with their white neighbors, it makes
me feel. Dr. Davis, that North Caro
lina truly belongs in the class where
I have tried to prove to others that she
.fllj ti."'-.7, ' ' . - :
The speaker urged self respect, en
ergy and thrift, ase cth
ergy and thrift, as the sum total ot
success. He said that there had been
a great decrease in crime among the
colored population, and he commend
ed them for that, for he declare that
crime 19 me reauti vi u?qm? >uu wa
of self respect.
"The colored population is helping
tc <fi*elop the state and cease to be
the white map's burden. Keep.your
selves where you can live squarely.
These two traces can live together se
curely. Keep your bodies in such way
that the soul will not regret to live
in it," said the orator.
"Personal health is a personal prob
lem. each Individual must keep him
self clean,' Is another maxim emit,
ted by the speaker.
in his peroration. Dr. Laughinghouse
turned his attention to some things
which both races can do. Said he:
"You people, oolored and white, can
vaccinate yourselves and protect your
selves against disease. Smallpox can
be totally eliminated, vaccination does,
not kill, but smallpox not only kills
at tlmeB, but often It leaves Its blots
and Imprints."
The speaker urged the mothers to
have their babies vaccinated with tox-i
in-antl.toxln as a preventive measure
against dlptherla. From two months
10 three years of age were specified
as the danger periods from this dread
ed malady wh|ch Is already claiming j
too many youngsters.
Speaking of the education of the
colored people, Dr. Laughlnghouae de
clared that North Carolina Is. willingly
spending Its money on the education
oi ltj.coiorea ciusens, ana in conciu- |
slon he a aid: I
"The beet thing In the world you
can do le to show North Carolina of
ficials that your right living and act.,
ing will Justify what le being spent
on them then they will do more."
Responses were made by Dr. A. H.
Fleming,-secretary of the Chamber oti
Commerce, this city, and the Rev.
John Gilchrist, a ministerial student
of Shaw University who was filling the1
pulpit of South' Main Street Baptist
church. In the absence of the regalarj
